Sometimes, when you seem to be winning, you’re actually losing.
This is certainly the case when Crab (Andy Lau) and Sam (Alan Tam), gamblers themselves, foil the scam of Japanese gamblers at a casino in Lake Tahoe as a favor […]

I might catch some flack for recommending Don’t Give A Damn AKA Burger Cop. It certainly has a poor reputation in the HK flicks fan community. Moreover, I understand why.
For the first solid hour, Don’t Give A Damn is about exactly nothing, although […]

When I first started watching The Bare-Footed Kid, I thought it would be a light-hearted martial arts tale along the lines of Iron Monkey. There isn’t a whole lot of ambiguity in the characters. The good guys are […]

Once you kindle a flame in the heart of an Asian girl on the cusp of womanhood, it’s almost impossible to extinguish (with the possible exception of infidelity). That’s what triad solder Wah Dee (Andy Lau) learns when he repeatedly rescues rich girl […]

The Unmatchable Match supplies yet more proof that Stephen Chow, at least in the late 80s and early 90s, ruined pretty much every movie he appeared in. He isn’t remotely funny, clever or sympathetic. What makes things worse is that Chow clearly thought […]

Imagine if you will a Hong Kong version of the Matt Damon/ George Clooney Oceans 11 flicks. You see, there’s an ancient Koran that the “three” of the title are fighting over. (Really, the title is a misnomer. These three are against […]
