Twin effect torrent

We should all clap politely as appreciation for the filmmakers' hard work. When the girls settle down, they almost immediately get drawn into an epic "save the kingdom" conflict that threatens to change their lives and last about one hundred minutes. The rebel leader, named Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Donnie Yen, in an extended cameo , is leading a charge to dethrone the evil Queen, who's not really evil, but sure acts that way.

Her turn to the dark side was all due to a broken heart, and is revealed in a stylishly-told flashback that comes complete with love, betrayal, and even castration. But there exists a prophecy of the "Star of Rex", a destined hero who will wield the mighty "Excalibur" and bring peace to the land by uniting the men and women as equals.

At first, Blue Bird is sent to find and stop the Star of Rex from ever getting his hands on the Excalibur, but she begins to get all mushy on one of the two candidates, namely Charcoal Head Jaycee Fong , a too-nice dope who hangs with the other candidate, the roguish Blockhead Wilson Chen of Blue Gate Crossing.

It's Blockhead that 13th Young Master is sent to catch, but she too starts to get googly-eyed over her quarry. Big surprise, the girls pair off with these two dopes, meaning big names Daniel Wu and Edison Chen are resigned to glorified cameos and not leading men duty.

This is all due to the masterful manipulation of the Emperor Music Group, who own the services of both Wilson Chen and Jaycee Fong, two young turks that EMG has anointed as future moneymakers. In Wilson Chen's case, it's not such a bad deal, since the kid has a roguish Takeshi Kaneshiro-like charm that works well with Charlene Choi's usual fussy silliness. For proof, one only has to look at Fong's enlarged schonzz, which is the only way that Fong channels any Jackie Chan whatsoever.

Unlike his famous pop, Fong doesn't kick, punch, or perform any death-defying stunts that make the audience stand up and take notice. He also doesn't engage in any self-effacing comedy like Chan did, which begs the ultimate question: why is this guy on the screen? Well, that's simple: he's Jackie Chan's son.

Good game, EMG. Still, such brainless casting is no big surprise since The Twins Effect II is avowed commercial crap that's designed to do just one thing: make money. Creativity and the desire to tell a good story were not factors in this film's creation. All EEG was looking for was a way to package their idols into one big mega-production, and hopefully sucker unsuspecting teens into checking out their fave idols the Twins, Edison Chen , and hopefully find new ones Wilson Chen, Jaycee Fong.

It's a high-kicking battle on the dark side when an ace vampire slayer and his beautiful sidekicks wage the ultimate martial-arts showdown with one of the most dangerous of the undead. Sign In.

There are some very innovative wire sequences, but the quality of the computer graphics is very poor, and the digital scenes are very unconvincing and unimpressive.

The special effects in this film are actually worse than those in Stormriders. The action scenes also suffer from some major plagiarism - there are lots of moves and shots lifted from any number of Yuen Wo Ping films, which is to be expected from Donnie, but there are also a couple of shots ripped off blatantly from Ryuhei Kitamura's AZUMI.

Does he really need to resort to that? How short does he think people's memories are? All in all, Twins Effect 2 is not a good film - but it has moments that are enjoyable, especially if you think of it as a kid's film, which I guess you have to expect with a vehicle for Twins. Given the time and budget they had for making the film, it's somewhat unforgivable that they didn't do a better job though.
