ONE OF NY FAVORITE JACKIE CHAN MOVIES: SPARTAN X

nadownload ko kahapon itong isang old jacky chan favorite ko... it's called WHEELS ON MEALS... 25 years ago when i was a kid, paulit-ulit naming nirerenta ito sa betamax. it was shown here as DRAGON IN ACTION... some of you may have seen this movie... it stars jackie chan, yuen biao and samo hung, plus lola forner, beauty queen ng spain [leading lady nya rin sa armor of god]. it was shot in spain.

the fight scene here of jacky chan vs benny "the jet" urquidez is considered one of the best fight scenes of all time.



you may remember this movie because of their yellow van [a mitsubishi L300] that transforms into a chinese fast food store and they do a lot of stunts with skateboards.

i found this japanese trailer for the movie...




ang galing talaga gumawa ng mga hapon ng trailer. it makes the movie seem even more action-packed [action packed as it is]... this movie was also a big hit in japan because a videogame for the nintendo family computer named SPARTAN X was based on it... sa states, the title is "KUNG FU" for the nintendo entertainment system. do you guys remember playing this game?




so anyway, kahit na meron na ako nung original VCD nito from astrovision, dinownload ko ang english dub nito sa torrent kahapon. i was so disappointed when i watched it kasi it was redubbed for the DVD. ang pangit ng dubbing and the original soundtrack was removed and replaced with some really boring music. ang laki ng pinagbago!

Anyway, it's his old movies produced in Hongkong na gustung gusto ko... once he went international with movies like First Strike and Mr. Nice Guy, parang iba na e... iba talaga yung mga produced sa HK na halos lahat ng artista eh mga Chinese din.

MY LOLA'S 90TH BIRTHDAY!!!


ANG GANDA NG LOLA KO... 90 YEARS OLD NA SYA BUKAS [FEB 2]

BLOWOUT NG TITA KO: CHINESE MINI-BANQUET FROM CHOY'S GARDEN.

KUMAKAIN ANG CELEBRANT...

BLOWING OF CANDLES WITH HER KIDS & GRANDKIDS... AND YES, THAT'S A YUMMY MANGO ICE CREAM CAKE.
90th birthday na ng lola ko bukas so ngayong sunday na namin ito cinelebrate. As usual family gathering nang matatawag ito, may apat syang anak na dumating at tatlo kaming apo nya na nandito sa bahay so masaya.
Bumili ng Chinese food ang tita ko sa Choy's Garden. This is the chinese restaurant that used to be COUNTRY WAFFLES sa Annapolis, Greenhills. Balita ko eh ex-partner ito ng owner ng Gloria Maris at nagsarili na sya, taking some of the GM chefs with him. We had some fried rice, roast duck, chicken with mushroom, fish fillet, scallops and prawns.
Nagulat ako sa tangkad ng hugis ng kanyang birthday cake. It turned out to be a mango ice cream cake. Ayos!
Dumating din ang tita ko and her daughter who I haven't seen in a long while. They weren't there during her last birthday celebration in Gloria Maris. She's the eldest of her daughters and was the one who raised me for the first 13 years or so of my life. Her daughter grew up in this house mula nung baby pa and they moved out when she was about 4 years old. So kilalang-kilala ko rin sya. She's in college now. Architecture student sa UST. Grabe ang tanda ko na! It was so nice to see them both.

Happy 90th birthday lola, many happy returns.
