Which Movie Do You Prefer

[J'Pol]

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

or

Carry On Up The Khyber.



Please explain your answer.

Perhaps I should ask for a Poll.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon cos i dont like carry on films

[MicroScreen2]

crouching tiger, hidden dragon.


more fighting, i think.



i never seen carry on up the khyber. is that the one that isn't a 'carry on' film?

For some reason I always want to call Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Easy Tiger Steady Dragon. :blink:

My vote goes to Carry On Up The Khyber because of the end scene where they are getting bombed but carry on regardless. :01:

whats that film with micheal caine where they struggle across the desert, blow some important stuff up. then the end is a really cool anti climax cos the just get shot by their own side and the shootist just gets told "don't do that again".?


i love those old war films :D

It comes with hand signals as well.

"Easy Tiger" - Halt traffic with right hand.

"Steady Dragon" - Halt traffic with left hand.

In the general area of the Kwai if memory serves.

It definitely goes over the River Kwai - which is not in Japan.

Both movies have their merits. Tiger is arty and spectacular although I never really identified with the main characters and thus felt the movie lacked a certain depth.

Khyber is a classic of its genre -albeit a very silly genre. However, Syd James&#39; cackle as Sir Rough-Diamond does, on balance, give it the edge.
