In A Day Without Policemen, screenwriters Laai Gwong-Fai, Goo Bing-Git, Desmond Wu, and Johnny Lee come up with many intriguing ideas. They pit the natural instinct for self-preservation against the desire to protect women and family. […]

From the title, you would expect Escape from Brothel to be the tale of sex slaves who find a way to break out of a house of prostitution, with their low level gangster guards in hot pursuit, but that’s not […]

A Chinese Torture Chamber Story II may not be the nonstop exercise in hilarity that the first installment in the series was, but it tells a wonderfully perverse tale in it’s own right.
As our story begins, Lotus Wong (Yolinda Yan) […]

Not long ago, I reviewed Mark Of The Devil in these pages. Like A Chinese Torture Chamber Story, Mark Of The Devil concerns people who have been brought up on false charges and tortured. Both films feature a fair amount of […]

As much as I love Yukio Oshima and Hong Kong action movies in general, I have to admit that Angel Of Vengeance is pretty darned awful.

Having watched the horrid I Love Maria, the other Hong Kong ripoff of Robocop, I had low expectations of Robotrix. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be a hugely amusing Category III mishmash of genres […]

One of the heartbreaking things for fans of movies from Hong Kong’s Golden Age (1985-1995) is that the owners of these films often neglected the negatives. The movies from that time had a very distinctive aesthetic in terms of art direction, […]

1/3 Lover has a pretty decent premise for a Category III melodrama. When Mona (Murakami Rena) arrives illegally from mainland China, she is scooped up by corrupt cop Wan (Stuart Ong), who pimps out Mona in various scams in exchange for not shipping her […]
