If anyone had been paying attention at the time, it would have been impossible to miss the advent of a new major filmmaking talent in Tsui Hark, the director of 1980’s Dangerous Encounter - 1st Kind.
With little more than aggressive camera work (Hark […]

Watching Hong Kong movies, you get the unmistakable impression of a male-dominated society, in which the competition between men is brutal to start with, and what’s left for professionally minded women is so scant that they fight over the crumbs like seagulls over a […]

Captain Lee (Danny Lee, in his usual role as a cop) is an overworked policeman whose colleagues are dropping like flies in gunfights with out of control thugs. He seldom has time to spend with his wife (Carol Cheng) and son, but he […]

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 […]

All of a Sudden has most of the virtues of films from the Golden Age of Hong Kong, and a few more as well. It’s lurid, fast-moving and well-acted, in a B-movie kind of way. Herman Yau’s direction is stylish. To sweeten the pot, […]

Underground Express AKA Long Arm of the Law IV isn’t quite as great as it’s predecessors, but you shouldn’t hold that against it.
One advantage the film has is a rich premise. In the aftermath of the Tienanmen Square massacre, Chinese pro-democracy […]

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. […]

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 […]
