I have to admit, when I sat down to watch Long Arm Of The Law III, I wasn’t expecting a whole lot. The third entry in the series is fairly obscure, unlike it’s more famous predecessors, which I thought […]

There’s loads of action in Cheetah On Fire and it’s got plenty of fun stars like Shing Fu-On, Ken Lo, Carrie Ng, Gordon Liu, Donnie Yen, Michael Woods, John Salvitti, and Eddie Ko, but I can’t seem to […]

One thing that you definitely can’t complain about in director Benny Chan’s Invisible Target is the action. I thought I’d never see another Hong Kong movie with these sorts of stunts again. Department stores worth of breakaway furniture are destroyed. Acres of glass are shattered. […]

Considering what Ronny Yu had to work with, China White is a major disappointment. Look at the cast: Alex Man, Carina Lau, Ku Feng, Victor Hon, William Ho, Tommy Wong, Shing Fui-On, some of the top Asian character actors working at the time. […]

Having just seen the horrible Liu Chia-Liang-directed Drunken Master III, I wanted to remind myself why I liked Liu Chia-Liang in the first place, so I decided to watch Tiger On The Beat II.
Like the first in the […]

How is it possible that The Most Wanted is so weak? You’ve got a cast that includes Lau Ching Wan, Kent Cheng, Bowie Lam, and Robin Shou. In fact, the cast is uniformly strong. The basic plot is interesting, too. […]

Gunmen is a classic Golden Age of Hong Kong flick in the hard hitting 80s style.
In the closing days of a civil war in China, Ding Chun-Bei (Tony Leung), and his three compatriots, Chang (Waise Lee), Lau Fook-Kwong (Mark Cheng), and […]

A Taste Of Killing And Romance is one of those ridiculous Hong Kong movies about “nice” assassins. In the opening sequence, we witness Ko Shao (Andy Lau) coldbloodedly kill a car full of people, blowing up the car for good measure, […]

Coming from a director as strong as Kirk Wong, and a competent action choreographer like Bruce Law, Rock N’ Roll Cop is a major disappointment.
Rock N’ Roll Cop was the third in Kirk Wong’s true crime series, which started with […]

Every once in a while, life hands you a nice surprise. I set out to watch Flash Point with more a sense of duty than enthusiasm. I knew that Donny Yen was the martial arts choreographer on the show, and […]
