Synopsis - Karazen

Shi-Jie (Jay Chou) grows up in a martial arts school and he is well versed in kung-fu. With his skills and his good reflexes, Shi-Jie also excels in basketball, especially the slam dunk technique. On the pretext of helping Shi-Jie find his family, Wang-Li (Eric Tsang) invites him to join the university's basketball team in hopes of making money out of him. There Shi-Jie faces new challenges on the basketball team, especially with team mates Ting-Wei (Bo-Lin Chen) and Xiao-Lan (Baron Chen). With the upcoming championship games and the appearance of Li-Li (Charlene Choi), the team must put aside their differences and personal emotions to face their common rivals.

One of my friends told me that I should watch Kung Fu Dunk because it's the basketball version of Shaolin Soccer. Now, I have to say that I didn't like Shaolin Soccer too much the first time I saw it. But I first watched it with a closed mind, didn't watch it as a comedy and WTF moments. Afterwards, I loved Shaolin Soccer. It's also one of my kids' favorite movies of all time. They watch it all the time. So of course I would be so happy to watch Kung Fu Dunk.

It has the cutie Jay Chou, who I did not recognize at all with that hair style. Jay Chou wasn't the heart throb that I wanted him to be. He wasn't even funny but looked like an arrogant bastard who thought he was all that. I didn't feel sympathetic towards him at all.

Along with Charlene Choi, who I also did not recognize. I kept thinking to myself, she is such a cute nerd, lol. Charlene was wasted. It was interesting to see her without her "twin" Gillian. All she did was sports her four-eyed looked and looked damn cute but did not have much else to do.

Before I watched the movie, I didn't go into it with high expectations at all. But I still disappointed. Storyline was very weak. Plus I wanted to see more games! I wanted the games to be against other people, not stir up problems within their own team! I couldn't compare it to Shaolin Soccer at all. It would be a unfair.

Then I read on Karazen, that this movie was adapted from a Japanese comic book called "Slam Dunk." I have to read the comic book so maybe I shouldn't be so harsh on Kung Fu Dunk. But right now, I still am disappointed.

Why are all the Korean hotties enlisting in the miltary???

…before enlisting in military service, that is.

Some stars choose to head off to their mandatory two-year (more or less) army duty with a bang, and some choose to go quietly. The 28-year-old Jo In-sung (Frozen Flower) is choosing a fanmeeting in Japan as his last official event before his March enlistment. Actually, that’s two fanmeetings, if ya wanna get technical: the March 3 event will be held in Osaka, while another on the 5th will be in Tokyo.

Originally scheduled for a January 2009 enlistment, Jo pushed back the date in order to promote his latest film, Frozen Flower co-starring Joo Jin-mo, more effectively.

Nicki's list of hot Asian guys

This is a list of my hot Asian guys. Most of the guys here are Korean because I've seen more Korean films. If I have not included a hot Asian guy that you think I should include, please comment below and let me know. So that I can watch their films in the future, hehehe….

Here they are, in no particular order….only ten though

Yoo Gun

One of the hottest guys I ever saw just by a glimps of a picture. He looks a bit like the Hollywood actor James Franco who I absolutely adore and love!

Korean hottie - watch him in Bad Couple or My Mighty Princess

Won Bin

Another guy who I think is sooo adorable by just pictures. Unlike most Korean actors, his movies are not the romantic type but more dramatic to show-cast his acting ability.

Lee Dong Wook

He's my favorite actor and one of the best looking guys in Korea. Plus with long or short hair, he is hot!

Daniel Henney
Although I'm not a fan of his acting, his hot looks make up for it. Looking forward to seeing him in Hollywood! When I went to watch Slumdog Millionaire with one of my friends, I saw a trailer for Wolverine -- I got excited and told my friend who Daniel Henney was when I saw him on the big screen!

Kwon Sang Woo

How can I not include him?? He is the reason why I continued watching Korean movies. It was his studly role in My Tutor Friend that captured me.

Aaron Kwok

Pictures do not do justice to this fine man! You have to watch him in action. Like most Hong Kong stars, he also is a well-known singing star.

Takeshi Kaneshiro

With a versatile background, he has been seen in Taiwanese, Hong Kong, and Japanese cinema, now that's hot! Not to mention he can act! Even the American audience has seen him and adores him.

Tak Sakaguchi

Not a huge fan of Japanese movies but Tak sure made me curious to watch him in more J-movies. That's hotness! Pictures don't do him justice either. I may just have to screencap a few stills from his films and review them.

Japanese hottie - watch him in Shinobi or Death Trance

Gong Yoo

I know I only said 10, but I felt I had to include Gong Yoo as well. Although honestly speaking, I was attracted to his looks at first, but damn, after watching him in more movies, I learn to appreciate his cuteness! Plus the guy sure looks like he can kiss.
