The rest of Vendetta doesn’t quite live up to the blistering first 20 minutes, but it’s a lot of fun, anyway.
Hung Long (a scary Tommy Wong) is one of those total criminal badasses from the Mainland. Along with his brother Tony (Leung Sap-Yat) […]

I have to say, with a title like “The Rape After,” I was expecting a different type of movie. You know, a serial rapist is burning through the female population of Hong Kong, the incompetent cops keep missing him, and it falls to […]

I dunno. Maybe I’m just not a fan of hopping vampire flicks, but Mr. Vampire 2 was a bit of a challenge to sit through for me.
The plot really isn’t the problem per se.

A Chinese Ghost Story II may lack the sublime moments of the first film (Wu Ma’s impromptu song and dance, Leslie Cheung hiding in the bathtub with Joey Wang), but it doesn’t have a lousy first act either.

Just because a movie was extremely popular with the Hong Kong audience doesn’t mean it’s any good. Think of all the early Stephen Chow nonsense comedies or Jackie Chan’s Lucky Star flicks. On the other side of the ocean, Porky’s […]

Close Encounter of the Spooky Kind’s biggest claim to fame is probably that it was the first Hong Kong flick to combine the supernatural, kung fu, and comedy in one picture. Not to mention that Close Encounter of the Spooky Kind marks […]

For a movie which is almost universally lauded as a deathless classic of Hong Kong’s Golden Age, A Chinese Ghost Story has a pretty lame first act.
The problem isn’t so much the story.

The Haunted Cop Shop reminds me of nothing so much as the old Abbott & Costello satires of classic horror flicks, like Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein and Abbott & Costello Meet The Wolfman. It’s not really supposed to be scary. The Hong Kong version […]

I don’t know about you, but when I see the title Jail House Eros, I think of a prototypical women in prison flick, with lots of sadistic guards, lesbians, and rape, but that’s not what Jail House Eros is like at […]
