Directors The Ultimate ASIAN Film Tournament (1 Viewer)

[MartinTeller]

The various Drunken Masters can be confusing. I meant the 1994 movie. I didn't realize you had it listed as Legend of (though I should have thought to look).

Jackie Chan isn't in the 1979 one.

 

[Jim_K]

Which again proves my point of me getting them all mixed up. :b

Got that one mixed up with the original Drunken Master '78 which is the one I wanted, I think.

Consider the '94 film nominated & I'll second it.

[Lew Crippen]

Glad to have you on board Ted.

Pretty much everybody runs their tournaments a bit differently. In this case, the master list supplied by Jim is already in. So nominations, seconds and thirds are only needed for films other than those on the master list.

 

[Jim_K]

As Lew said welcome to the tourney Ted. As soon as we have 128 films well start voting.

If you don't see a nomination on this list then it's already in the tournament see post #1 for the Master List.
