Could be that one... there is a remake of the one I'm thinking of, plus it does start with a sword battle I think.

Snake in the Eagle's Shadow was on here last year... love the intro with Magic Fly (though think it was different music in some releases)

Beast of Burden
Oh and she's give him poison!

But actually he tricked someone else into drinking it!

But it was fake poison!

It was one of those films we watched and decided dwarfed Citizen Kane. Shiver of the Vampires was the other one.

Kane come on and we watched it and we were like this is fucking shit how boring change the channel and one of the channels was showing this lesbo vampire film. That was the birth of the eurocult film thread. That evening in Keddleston Walk, E2

Sounds like Rollin... a lot of his films have those weird kinda twin girls in them as sexy vampires or their hangers on.

I've seen that Trump thing before... I'd love to see him give a review now that he's senile and doped up to the eyeballs.

This could be appalling, but I'm intrigued:

Siberia
An exploration into the language of dreams.
Director: Abel Ferrara
Stars: Willem Dafoe
Siberia’s provenance is highly organic—Ferrara describes the script development as “starting off on page one and [letting] your mind take you wherever you’re gonna’ go.” But there is also a source of inspiration in Carl Jung’s The Red Book, a manuscript by the Swiss psychologist that was only published and made publicly accessible in 2009. As Ferrara describes it, The Red Book chronicles the experiences when “Jung would take time to go into his private room at night, alone, and delve into the center of his subconscious—into his dreams, into his mind, and almost write freehand.”

Didn't we talk about Nolan being an idiot at some point?

There's a new interview for his upcoming one, talking about how mysterious reality is or something, where he says that he doesn't understand why a mirror flips things horizontally but not vertically...........

I recently rewatched memento cos I thought it had some merit the first time, but I lost the thread. Gotta say that I wasn't that impressed second time, loses a lot of steam. Nolan is sort on a level with BEE for me, like they are both OK, but they're not really top tier

I suppose it's more marketable without subtitles.

Also, to be fair, I think the problem with subtitles is they require visual attention. Which necessarily attracts from watching the frame. So it's not so much "worst of both worlds" (as @IdleRich said) as it is taking the hit on some language richness/historical accuracy in order to allow the visual to sit sans distraction. I dunno, having watched it, it seems reasonable to me. He doesn't make that choice in his earlier films, interestingly—but he doesn't subtitle them either, often, he just leaves it as incomprehensible noise. So there's a deliberate anti-translation stance happening?
