Bore Lee: Cuvaj se sinjske ruke! (2004)
Even better than first one!
This movie follows Bore Lees previous masterpiece - U kandzama velegrada, only - EVERYTHING IS MUCH BETTER HERE! When I say "everything", i think of fight scenes, special effects, villains, scenery, camera work, director craftsmanship etc... Sometimes I work as a movie critic for several Croatian newspapers so I've got opportunity to see many movies but this one takes the cake! It is rather unbelievable that this film is so cheap because it doesn't look like that: car chases (exploding cars), so many extras, vivid costumes and many star cameo people in this movie. If you like early work from Sam Raimi or even Peter Jackson (that means - if you are true trash fan!) I recommend this one from the bottom of my heart. Also, check out the soundtrack for this movie because it has music from some of the hottest rap stars from Balkan - Edo Maajka, The Beat Fleet, Postolar Triper and many others. The only things it needs to be perfect is - more nude chicks! :)
Bore Lee: U kandzama velegrada (2003)
Trash at its best!
Bore Lee and his movies are one of best kept secrets in Croatian cinematography. He's been doing his trashy kung fu comedies for more than a decade and audience simply adore him! This is his first movie published in DVD format and it was a huge hit in Croatia, Bosnia & Slovenia. As you can see, many people vote for him even on IMDb site. To be honest, his movies are rather poor in quality and budget but they are very rich in spirit and imagination. For example, in this movie who plays himself coming from small village into capitol city of Croatia (Zagreb, that is "big Z" in English translation) to study yoga because there are none yoga classes in his village. Of course, he crosses the path of dangerous gang led by notorious Zli Kovac (Evil Kovac) who is molesting visitors of club called Mocvara (The Swamp). Gang is trying to bribe him to become one of them by offering him money, drugs and whores. Of course, he is in-loved with his girlfriend Anayoga (who is, by the way, his yoga instructor) and he refuses their offer. After that, gang kidnapped Anayoga and Bore Lee is forced to join the gang. But, that turned around when he found out where is Anayoga imprisoned and everything ends up in huge final fight where Bore wins but Anayoga dies while jumping in front of him catching the bullet instead of him. None of this describes crazy, surreal atmosphere of whole movie and Bore himself. Nothing in this movie is quite normal and average and there are lot of Croatian celebrities which have small parts (cameos) appearing in this movie. Simply, if you have a chance to see this movie, DON'T HESITATE!!!
