I am a huge Jet Li fan and I've followed his career for quite some time. I am also into marketing and wanted to know some more information about a movie called "the Contract Killers (the movie was great!!). While watching the movie I noticed one of the characters was using a special cellphone. This cellphone had a slide-in phone card feature. I would like to know How can I find out more about the cellphone that was used in the movie "The Contract Killer". The phone was equipped with a slide in calling card. I would appreciate it if you or someone in your staff could let me know how I can obtain the CELL PHONE THAT YOU COULD SLIDE A PHONE CARD INTO IT. I thank you in advance for your cooperation.sincerely, wpasuave1
... View MoreI just finished watching the local DVD version of Sat sau ji wong (a.k.a. "The Contract Killer"). It was a spontaneous purchase, since I did not really know anything about the movie. This was actually a good thing, so I could watch it unprejudiced.Well, how to describe this flick. Somehow I find that rather difficult. It has action. It has lots of humour. It is a very strange mix, but somehow it works. At least if you like Hong Kong action movies in general. I was reminded of the "Police Story" series, although this is not a completely fitting analogy I admit.The story revolves around a newcomer hit-man (Jet Li) who is desperate for an assignment. He seems to be lucky, since just before a Japanese mafia boss has been killed, who had set up a "revenge fund" prior to his assassination. The reward for finding the murderer, the "king of hit men" is very handsome indeed: 100 million dollars.Our "hero" meets a luckless con-man (Eric Tsang), who helps him get the assignment, together with a bunch of competitors. Things get ugly when the brutal and power-hungry grandson of the deceased decides to participate in the game as well.By Hollywood standards, most Hong Kong productions would count as B-movies, but this is clearly an understatement here. Okay, maybe they did not have the biggest budget in the world. But they clearly made an effort to achieve the maximum possible, including the actors. Yes, the actors really live up to the word, *unlike* in many, many American B-movie productions. And since this film is not "just" an action flick, Jet Li actually has to do a bit of real acting as well, and this is a welcome change, too.

View MoreI bought this movie on DVD for just £4.00 and im very impressed with it, what a bargain !Its funny (very funny in some parts), fast and the guy who plays Li's friend in this movie is a hilarious hapless character.This movie has some interesting, new aproaches to Hong Kong movies. Such as a bad guy who wears extremely powerful laser-lights to blind his enemy - sounds cheesy, but ill hear your opinion once you have seen it in action, its very effective.Jet Li's performance in this movie is by far his best, although 'Fist Of Legend' is still his best movie all-round. This movie is still well worth anybodies Fiver' (or five bucks :) .
... View MoreThis movie is called Hitman, and Jet Li holds the main character, so you would expect that he is a well trained, bad ass hitman, who kills a lot of people. But no, he is a child-lover who collects coins, and is for some reason good at karate, or what art of combat it is he is using. That really doesn't matter much, because Jet Li is hardly ever fighting in the poor number of combat-scenes this picture holds. Don't watch this movie. Gone With the Wind has more entertainment-value.
