Jet Does History Again!

Jet plays Hung Xi Guan (I believe he's historically the brother of Wong Fei Hung) and Tze Miu plays his son Man Ting in a great story about survival. Hung Xi Guan is wanted by Imperial troops for his rebellion and he and his son is on the run. Many years earlier, a former friend of Hung backstabbed him and joined the troops. Hung had to fight and kill him to survive, but he did't die. Instead he came survived and became this "poisonous man" who is now running the troops. The Imperial troops are also also killing innocents to fight a group of kids that have a certain treasure map tattooed on their backs. You won't see Jet using his fists too much in this movie for he is using a special kind of spear throughout and its pretty cool. His son however played by Tze Mui is pretty awesome in this movie. This boy got some real kung fu skills and he really shines here. The ever so beautiful Chingmy Yau is also in this film. There are plenty of fights in this movie to keep kung fu buffs happy and they are all well choreographed. The story is quite touching for its time as well, and the humor is definitely present. One thing I didn't like about the film is the "poisonous man" riding around in a metal car...watch it and you'll see, its really weird. Now, I've read that a US release will be coming out under the name The Legend of the Red Dragon...hmm...as far as I can remember, this has very little to do with any dragon, let alone it being red...I believe this film will only have an English dub, and you know how nasty that can get. Folks, stick with the original because I'm down right sure that a lot of the original comedy and feel to the film will be cut out of the new rerelease. Now, there are 2 HK versions, one being from Tai Seng and the newly released and remastered Universe version...get the Universe one cause the picture and sound is far better than Tai Seng. Of course the US release will probably have the best sound effects, but the Universe release is loud enough. If you buy any American rerelease that is only English dubbed, just make sure you got the original too....Trust me, it'll start to bother you after a while. Anyways, this film is great, and well worth your viewing. ...

Hes done it again!  Couldnt put the book down!  Joes analogies are absolutely priceless! He captures all the things airline travelers are thinking but don't have the guts to say! His true yet humorous look at the unpredictable life of a Flight Attendant will have you amused to the very last page!!  You won't be disappointed.  Looking forward to his next writing!

Great diagrams. photos and pretty detailed text make this book great for the elementary aged child who is wanting to know more about how a jet works. Great as a read aloud OR for the older independent reader. Got a school project to do? Perfect!

The first double page shows a labeled colored diagram of a jet - wonderful! We then go on to read about:

History of Jet Planes * How Planes fly * What is a Jet Engine? * Different Jet Engines * Flying Faster * In the Cockpit * Life in the Clouds * Staying Safe * Finding the Way * Building a Jet Plane * Military Jets * The Future of Jet Planes

Did you know that airplanes have control columns not steering wheels? The Russian MiG-25 is the world's fastest jet aircraft capable of flying at 2,110 mph which is more than three times the speed of sound. The Airbus A380 is the largest passenger jet. Parts are manufactured all over the world and then brought together and assembled in France.

At the end there is a glossary and a "further information" section. All measurements are provided in imperial and metric.

This book documents the history of Canada's most promising fighter jet, the Avro Canada C015 Arrow, which fell victim to government incompetence and tightening budgets like it predecessor the C102 Jetliner. In an age of nuclear power and potential atomic war, the Arrow was planned to be a defender of the Free World and potential delivery system if need be. However, with development of nuclear ICBMs the government of Canada, similar to those of Great Britain and America, felt that the day of the interceptor may have passed on and ended up not only cancelling the project, but even ordering the destruction of the prototypes! The pride of Canada would not stand for this and a citizens group formed and built a full-sized replica of the Arrow that even has engines and will be tested for flight worthiness. So once again, the pride of Canada may take to the skies! Let us hope!

I loved the whole series and loved the characters! All the action was great. Jet, for me was James Bond in female form. I needed a distraction and this did it. I will be reading them again. They were a great read, thanks to the author.

As one reviewer said, "Fascinating" which describes it well.  A must read for anyone with an interest in the birth of jet and rocket powered aircraft, and especially for anyone with an interest in the Luftwaffe.  Written by his son and using interviews with his father,  we'll never have a more detailed or interesting account of those times.  Also some very interesting photos.

This is probably the only in-depth treatment we will ever see of this remarkable family of cold-war jets.  Fortunately, Yefim Gordon gives a thorough and masterful presentation that leaves little, if anything, lacking.  Aviation history buffs and modelers alike will find a wealth of useful and intersting information.  No where else will one find so many photos of this family of Interceptors, Bombers, Recon, and ECM aircraft.  The text goes into extraordinary detail without being dry or tedious. In addition to technical information, there are numerous fascinating and even humorous anecdotes from the political, developmental, and operational history.

There are B&W photos throughout and appendices with color photos, schematic (3+ view) drawings of the variants, and color drawings at the end.

This book is well worth the price.  Books about relatively obscure (to the west) aircraft such as this seldom come along, and even more rarely of such quality.  I also suspect it won't stay in print for a very long time; books with sucha specialized subject matter seldom do.  Get it while you can.

Another fantastic, can't-put-it-down history from my favorite contemporary historian!  Any interest in medieval history? Dan Jones' books will not fail to keep you engaged and teach you a thing or two.

I have found a new author to vigilantly await his new additions to the Alaska series. Really enjoyed the addition of the airplane adventures, as I one day hope to pilot my family around Alaska in our own bush plane. Was hooked from beginning to end. If I had to be pressed to find something disappointing it was in the ending when Jet is being pursued. I would have loved to have had more of her escape from danger to dwell on. Overall very impressed and left ready to start the next adventure of Jack & Jet!

To have this sort of history at hand is really amazing for an aeronautical lunatic like me! How much more cool is it than to look back at aviation history with an eye to how our ancestors saw flying and aviation BEFORE it was such a regular thing as it is today.  Truly an amazing collection of aviation history to have in one place so easily at hand.

Jet's third CD, as I didn't realize at first they only had three discs out (so far) at this time. Definitely holds up to the band's second effort 'Shine On' (see my review). Tunes here that managed to make an impression are the foot-stomping "She's A Genius", "Black Hearts (On Fire), "La Di Da", the familiar-sounding "Goodbye To Hollywood" and the catchy "Times Like This". Line-up: Nic Caster & Cameron Muncey - guitar & vocals, Mark Wilson - bass, piano & vocals and Chris Chester - drums & vocals. Definitely, a should-have.

If you are a Jet fan, you don't want to miss any of her adventures. Strong female protagonist. Well written. Keeps one on the edge to see how she managed to survive mission and challenges.
