The Bells Of Death (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

'Bells of Death' is one of my favourite 60's wuxia flix.

The story is quite simple but effective - After witnessing the murder of his family and kidnapping of his sister, Chang Yi gets trained up in the martial arts and goes off to exact his vengeance on the three responsible. This might not sound like a particularly original plot - and it isn't. The strength of 'Bells of Death' is the classy way in which the story is told, the cinematography and direction is top notch and times reminded me of a cross between a King Hu film and a Sergie Leone film which can only be a good thing!

Although I am a fan of the genre I often find that the simplistic and staged fight choreography of some of these films can be a bit off-putting - this is not the case in 'Bells of Death' the action is quick, precise and bloody.

Highly recommended!

The 14 Amazons (product link)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

14 Amazons greatly exceeded my expectations, director Ching Gong manages a near perfect balance of drama, narrative and action. I won't bother with a description of the plot - it's sufficient to say that 14 Amazons plays like a wuxia version of the Dirty Dozen or Kelly's Heroes with our heroines deep behind enemy lines fighting for survival.... and of course vengeance! The first section of the film is largely given over to plot and character development but once the action starts it comes thick and fast - the final showdown with those evil Mongols includes some of the best fight choreography I've seen from a wuxia film from this period.

A great cast, a rousing soundtrack, spectacular locations, some vicious swordplay and a great story make 14 Amazons well worth a look!
