What can I say about Skinny Tiger and Fatty Dragon? Unless you added in a plethora of crazy Hong Kong style stuntwork, it’s about as good as it could be, given the premise and style of the piece.
Baldy Mak (Karl Maka) and […]

Rosa starts and ends strong, but the middle is kind of flabby.
The action revolves around the title character, who was once the mistress of a mobster who has taken incriminating photos of the financial books of a triad kingpin and is trying […]

Crocodile Hunter is a throwaway, one of hundreds of similar action comedies that were churned out during Hong Kong’s Golden Age. The plot, such as it is, is a mere excuse on which to hang shaggy action sequences and the comedic musings of writer/director/producer […]

I have a love/hate relationship with Wong Jing, leaning heavily towards the hate side of the equation. Wong Jing loves toilet humor, he pretty much has contempt for the screenwriting verities, and his taste is firmly in the gutter. To give […]

The premise of Fun And Fury is utter simplicity. Singaporean cop Wai Hon (Leon Lai) is in love with Ching Ha (Vivian Chow) the daughter of triad kingpin Mr. Ma (Kent Cheng). Mr. Ma wouldn’t be happy about this situation under the best of […]

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 […]

The Iceman Cometh is an endlessly imaginative riff on the 1986 hit Highlander.
Back in the time of the Ming Dynasty, when Feng San (Yuen Wah) rapes and murders the cousin of the King, palace guard Fang Shou Zheng (Yuen Biao) […]

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.
It didn’t have to be that way. There are two perfectly serviceable plot […]

Shaolin Temple, Jet Li’s first starring vehicle, is unusual in that it doesn’t really concentrate on one hero. For this flick, the producers hired an amazing number of competent martial artists and four martial arts coordinators, so the movie has an insane […]
