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 […]

Before we get started on Code Of Honor, I’d like to vent a little bit.
The state of Hong Kong film preservation is simply deplorable. For example, the best print Tai Seng could get for Code Of Honor was an old […]

WORTH A LOOK
Despite having great stars like Jet Li and Dick Wei in their prime, a decent story line, and Stephen Chow not hamming it up with his trademark nonsense comedy antics as usual, Dragon Fight feels remarkably lackluster.
Surprisingly, I’d have to blame it on poor […]

Hong Kong is the birthplace of the dreaded nonsense comedy, the former British colony’s answer to Jerry Lewis. In other words, watching these so-called comedies is about as amusing as witnessing a partial abortion to most non-Chinese people. (Stephen Chow […]

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 […]

If it weren’t for the hard hitting martial arts and crazy stunts, I wouldn’t have believed that A Book Of Heroes came out in the late eighties. It feels more like the early 80s. Achingly saccharine pop hits like “Girls Just Wanna […]

In The Line of Duty II AKA Yes, Madam may be dominated by the ghastly comedy stylings of a rogues gallery of the worst nonsense comedians that Hong Kong had to offer, but director Corey Yuen pulls the film […]

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. […]

Fans of the Golden Age of Hong (1985-1995) have long been grousing that they don’t make ‘em like that anymore, which is true. Drunken Monkey demonstrates just how hard it is to recapture that old glory.
Drunken Monkey is an attempt to make a movie in […]

Ip Man is the rare modern Hong Kong movie that is almost flawless. The script by Edmond Wong and Chan Tai-Li is tight. The physical production is immaculate — no crappy CGI or lousy matte paintings to ruin the illusion. The martial arts, […]
