Wind and Cloud: The Storm Riders (2004)

 The Storm Riders
Well shipping was fine but when I got my product the jewl case was busted pritty bad like someone sat on it. Im in the process to see if it wasnt damaged. The bubble rap wasn't tampered with at all not a single bubble popped which lead me to believe that it was shipped that way. From the 30 min that i have seen of the movie it looks ok and it is the storm riders i was looking for not the knock off. However since this is the more recent version I was expecting it to be an "in english" option. Guess i was goin crazy when i saw it at a friends house and thought i saw it in english...

 Not worth the money
This movie is somewhat confusing. There is no real plot. The kung fu are unreal compared to other kung fu movies. The only entertaining part is just watching the 2 cute main charaters other than that don't waste your money. March 25, 2008

 THE TRUE WIND AND CLOUD!
I have to start with some information and answers to questions first here.
This IS the film about wind, cloud, storm, and frost who control an elemental force each with cloud having the water manipulation power, frost having ice powers and storm having a few powers. also in this film is the graveyard of magical swords everyone is always asking about same with the above water fighting. the special effects are truly excellent sadly this is a chinese version (region 0 aka free) and seemed to work fine on all players including the newer model sony ps2's so this is the wind and cloud disc everyone is looking for.

Review:
This is a story of a japanese warlord seeking to become the supreme ruler of the entire province. however there is a legend of 2 boys that will be born with legendary power and if he finds them they will unite his power throughout the land for the next 10 years.. however this is only the first part of the legend the 2nd part is stuck in an enchanted puzzle box that takes 10 years to solve. when solved it reveals that when wind and cloud join forces they will become a storm to end lord conquerer.
thus the battle begins with again I say superb special effects and a asian style sword and the sorcerer type of film and some of the magical sword effects are truly amazing especally since things like this I have only ever seen done in videogames NOT Movies. it's a masterpiece and while there is an english dubbed version out there I prefer the true format it started out as without any edits and this IS IT!!!

5 star special effects
5 star sound and presentation
the kung fu theater acting you expect 4 stars
overall: a must own title with some blood and gore and a few godlike scenes of violence that may mar this film for a few fans of the film (like me) will be thrilled to get this full unedited version of this rare gem.

 Not in English
When I purchashed this movie it did not indicate that it was not in English. I wanted this movie because I had seen it on tv in egnlish. I was very disappointed to see that I had to read the whole movie. Still looking for the English version. January 10, 2008

 Where is the fighting?
A lot of pouting, non-sexually threatening young Asian actors and not a whole lot else. There is basically no martial arts to speak of in this film (don't confuse wiring an actor to zoom around a set or CGI environment with real kung fu). What fighting there is takes the form of magic fire balls, etc., being hurled about by flying, angsty actor. Shu Qi is gorgeous as always, probably the best thing in this otherwise below average movie. If you are a kungfu fan, forget this film. If you just want to look at models posing, then this is something for you.

Oh, and the story is just terrible. December 28, 2007
