a movie called fireworks(kung-fu/martial arts)?
My friend gave me a list of kung-fu/ martial arts movies:
-red cliff 1+2
-Ip man 1+2
-Iron monkey
-curse of the golden flower
-ran
-seven samurai
-fireworks
-the brotherhood of war
-assembly
These are all martial art/kung fu type movies, cause that's what I asked him to give me a list of, but the only movie titles I can find with fireworks is some japanese crime thriller and some other titles that are obviously not it. Does anything one know anything or might be able to help me find this movie? This is all the information I know and unfortunately my friend is more of an acquaintance and I literally have no way of getting a hold of him until we work the same shift. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this. Thanks
thanks for the additional movies, but i'm starting to think it is this crime thriller.. thanks though!
Never heard of it and I have about 500 Kung Fu / martial arts movies.

This is a practical routine in Shaolin Kungfu. Movements such as tumbling, hammer and strike should be conducted forcefully and quickly as if fighting a tiger in a forest. While performing, you should move like the wind, stand like a nail with your eyes as bright as lightning and flash your punches on the enemy. All of the movements are conducted almost in one breath.

Shaolin Kung Fu Art Which Martial Art is better: Kung Fu, Karate, Shaolin, or Kickboxing?
Please answer logically!
As the others have stated, there is no one art above others. In fact, what works best for one person may not be the best choice for another.
The reason I chose to answer this question over all the others that routinely ask which art is best is due to the fact there is some confusion in the way in which your query is worded that I feel I can genuinely help with.
"Kung Fu" is a general term which actually translates roughly to "hard work" and inappropriately encompasses all Chinese martial arts (which I usually refer to as "Chinese boxing"). This being the case, however, one could group Shaolin into Kung Fu under these circumstances since Shaolin originates in China.
Furthermore, there are different types of kickboxing, such as Muay Thai or American. Certain methods of kickboxing actually incorporate other systems of martial arts to add to the practicioner's arsenal. That is, an American kickboxer might hold a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, meaning that in this instance "kickboxing" in itself is not a style, whereas in Muay Thai, it would be.
Lastly, Karate is odd because there is an actual system called simply "Karate", but it also refers to most other Japanese disciplines such as Shotokan or Ishinryu.
You might be better off asking what strengths and weaknesses each of the disciplines you mention possess, and to go one step further, to be more specific with regard to the disciplines you ask about.

The Fundamentals are the Key to Learning and Understanding Shaolin Kung Fu
The Fundamentals Are the Key to Learning and Understanding Shaolin Kung Fu
The concept of Shaolin kung fu originated when Huang Zongxi defined Chinese martial arts as either the Shaolin school or the Wudang school. You also sometimes hear the Shaolin school referred to as the external school, and the Wudang school referred to as the internal school. This was 1669, and since then people call external Chinese martial arts "Shaolin kung fu" even if the style or student has no affiliation to the Shaolin monastery. Learning the Shaolin fundamentals can help anyone improve their understand of the martial arts and help them better protect themselves in case they are attacked.
The Shaolin fundamentals start by teaching basic attacks such as punches, kicks, open hand strikes, elbow strikes, and knees. After the fundamentals are like second nature, then the student works on combinations. The goal is to string together attacks in a logical way that will break through the defenses of the opponent and flow in a fast and fluid fashion. As the opponent tries to defend against one attack, another attack is already coming and heading for a target that is not defended. By keeping pressure on, the opponent will eventually falter in his blocking.
After basic combinations are mastered, the student can learn some more advanced Shaolin fundamentals. Grappling and joint locks are great skill sets to learn because they are very practical and often have a huge impact on the outcome of a fight. It is important to have tools to control the attacker even when he moves too close for effective striking. Restraints and vital point striking allow the student to control an attacker without having to expend a large amount of energy. Leverage is the key to controlling someone that is bigger and stronger while at the same time using very little of your own energy.
The Chinese martial arts also stress the use of kiai, or what the Japanese usually call chi. By focusing your kiai you can inflict more harm on an attacker with strikes because the sum power of your strike will exceed what your muscles can do alone. The Shaolin fundamentals of training your kiai usually involve focusing and mental strength rather than putting the kiai into physical action.
Learning the Shaolin fundamentals makes a martial arts student more prepared for close quarters unarmed combat and is a great stepping stone to more advantages techniques and even other disciplines and martial arts styles. It is all about being ready to protect yourself while hoping that you never need to prove yourself.
