Bio: I look for fast action martial art movies. A five star movie to me consist of great choreography such as Legendary Weapons of China, The Rebel Intruders, and Long Step Mantis just to name a few. Further more about my movie ratings, I don't really look for story, I just look for the boxing.
I think the (HK Flix) staff is great to give us the delight to share our thoughts and comments about certain movies we select. Now, we are an offical community sharing with each other our love for film.
YOU ARE HERE:INTERACT HOME / I LOVE YOU RATER HATERS'S PROFILE
The Iron Monkey [1977] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure WOW!!! UNBELIEVABLE!
Peculiarly crafted choreography; best out-for-revenge plot ever constructed in a martial arts movie. They put their hearts in this one! A must-buy for choreography freaks like me!!
Transporter 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I wasn't really ready for this one here! If Corey can make Statham fight like this, I am a believer of his work. Honestly, though, he kinda' lost me with the pole fighting scene, but it still wasn't enough to lessen the stars. I am a fan of this one.

This film is waaaay better than it should have been, leaps and bounds above the first installment.
Executioners From Shaolin (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I just witnessed one of Shaw Brothers' best movies and I am here to say: I am glad that I am alive.
As I was watching, I think it was pure destiny that Gordon Liu would go on to make "The 36th Chambers..." with his brothers because of how the first fight scene in this movie came about with his talent--wow! I was purely satisfied enough then, but wait, there is more:
The villian Pei Mei (Lo Lieh), wow he gave the performance of his life. So I've got to give it up to his efforts.
The fight scenes were nothing short of amazing, executed by the one and only Chen Kwan Tai.
I was also impressed by the spirit of the movie and I felt like I was in those times, too.
You know, I just watched this film the other day and I'm beginning to regret my 3 star rating. However the ending is still a bit stupid except the blood.
Heroes Two (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts I love you rater haters! This is the best Shaw Brothers production I have seen in awhile. Nearly non-stop action, great acting from Alexander Fu-Sheng, and a great display of Liu Chia-Liang's style of martial arts. If you don't believe me, then there is something really wrong with you.

Can't beat the Hwang Jang Lee triple kicks! I love this movie and wish someone would restore it!
This is truly one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life, and that is no exaggeration!
Reasons why you should buy this film:
The Yuen family: Yuen Woo Ping, Yuen Chiang Ren, Yuen Jen Chiang, Yuen Er Chia. (Actually that should be reason enough.)
Watching Leung Kar Yan's Wing Chun style displayed on this film. In my opinion, it was better here then on "Warriors Two".
This movie is truly a gem, not because it was a great kung fu film, but because of the legend of Fok Yan Gap; Philip Ko, the Yuen family and Leung Kar Yan put their hearts in this film to let us know that. Also, if you raters gave this movie less than five stars it is sort of disrespectful knowing the work put in this film.

I agree with you totally, this film is a must have for any collector!
Boxer Rebellion (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure WOW! I was pleasantly surprised. I've learned about the history in an Asian course I was taking, and I must say that most of this movie is accurate. But what made this movie 5 stars (in my opinion) is the martial arts. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first 45 minutes of the movie was very slow, I must admit, but after that--man!

it was all right, I give it 4 and half because the beginning was slow. But it was enjoyable.
Legendary Weapons Of China (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie is the second best of Liu Chia-Liang masterpieces. This is no less than five stars, and this is a must buy.

Definitely a must have! Five stars! An excellent film that holds up over the years.I still love it.
Fighting Ace (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Wow! This is a hidden classic, I was not expecting this movie to be like this. Man... Kung fu at its best, this is a must buy.
Killer Army [Ground Zero] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie is by far one of the best vemon films out there. For one, I've never seen this kind of acrobatic choreography displayed on any films.
Warriors Two (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure First off, I would like to say that HKFlix is a splendid company to retreive some of the best martial arts movie in the world. Not only that, but over the years, HKFlix taught me how to become a better movie rater towards these martial arts flims, and I respect them highly for that.
The movie Warriors Two was a blast to watch. Leung Kar Yan had given a brillant display of the wing chun style; even though a movie like Descendant of Wing Chun was a nice movie, and The Prodical Son was a pleasure to watch, none compared to the eloquence Leung Kar Yan displayed on this flim. Casanova Wong had nice kicks to show on this flim, and Sammo Hung becomes one on my favorite martial director of the 70's, because he tries to steal no light from either of his co- stars in any movie I've seen him direct even though he's done all the hard to make good movies...
The Death Duel Of Kung Fu [DOUBLE FEATURE] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I gotta' give it up to Eagle Han Ying to not only hang with John Liu and Wang Tao, but he outshone them easily in this flick. Don't sleep on this movie, and don't sleep on Eagle Han's mantis fist in this picture.
Ong-Bak 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Hands down, one of the best martial arts movies I've seen thus far. His snake and crane just kills me every time!
Twilight (product link) Thriller / Romance Beautifully written story about a vampire's love for a high school girl. This is a must-see movie. I was pleasantly surprised.
Revenge Of The Shaolin Master [PanMedia] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure According to other reviews, I must say (in my own opinion) this is a classic. I've never seen anyone get their butts kicked over a bag of rice like this. Wow! The ambiance of this film is pretty gloomy, but the fighting scenes (and there are lots) gives it this weird dichotomy of entertainment. Not to be missed for all kung fu fans.

Never seen anyone get theor butts kicked for a bag of rice...ya need to watch more fu movies, because it sounds like ya don't know what your saying.
Shaolin Temple Against Lama [5-Disc Set] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure When I've seen this movie I could not believe that I could be amazed more at Alexander for executing these moves. I am totally amazed, and I'm telling people to "Hurry up and Buy" immediately. This movie is better then "Shaolin vs. Lama" seven times over...
Shaolin King Boxer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Hooray Meng Fei, Chen Kuen Tai, you guys have made my life very entertaining. This movie is really a hidden classic. With the great fighting techniques, this movie is sure to please any kung fu fan. I'm very delighted to have this movie in my collection and I do recommend this movie for everyone to enjoy.
The Challenger (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Since there are [currently] no [other] comments made, I must make one. This film is a good movie to buy. You can't go wrong with Phillip Ko Fei. He [gives] a grand performance in this film, even though he [plays a] bad [guy].
Long Step Mantis (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Mark Lung is one of my favorite martial artist, he has a style like no other. He adds a lot of passion in he artistry. Nonetheless, this movie is nothing short of five stars. The action is superb, and the story is ok, but trust me this movie needs to be in your collection.
The World Of Drunken Master (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure From one of the chorographers that brought you "Legend Of A Fighter", "World Of Drunken Master" is at the top of the list when it comes to Yuen Cheung Yan's style of movement. This movie is a must-see for fight scene freaks such as I am. If you are a story freak and really anal about it, this movie is not for you. I was not bored at all with this movie. DON'T SLEEP ON THIS FLICK!!!!
In The Line Of Duty 4 (product link) Martial Arts / Girls With Guns The storyline was kind of unappealling, but who cares? I had a blast watching this movie filled with stylish kick fights and seeing Cynthia Khan's eloquent display of those kicks--I am a fan of hers now. She made me give this movie four well-deserved stars.

Agreed, I originally got this because of Donnie, but Cynthia was excellent in the role originated by Michelle Yeoh!
The Avenging Eagle (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Ku Feng needed to win some kind of award for his evil character of Yu Si Kwan. I think his role was just genius. Also, the English dub was brilliant, too, whoever was doing his translation: genius. The direction of the fight scenes, the brilliant storyline, and the choreography, all on time in this masterpiece. I love this movie.

The English dub is better than most, but it is still better in the original Cantonese or Mandarin.
The Warrior From Shaolin [PanMedia] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is another well choreographed flick from Liu-Chia Wing, not to be missed. This needs more exposure, my kung fu fans!
Fatal Contact (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is a bipolar rollercoaster ride. So many ups and downs to make you go crazy, but it's an adrenaline-driven martial arts masterpiece.
Heaven And Hell (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I would go out on a limb and say that this movie is one of Shaw Brothers' best. The story tells of what some Buddhists believe happens with death, life and reincarnation, and I loved every bit of it. But this movie is not for everyone, especially for those who do not know a little about the different sections of Mahayana Buddhism. As for the choreography, WOW!!!!!!!! I wasn't ready for it. It's a must-buy for thinkers and kung fu lovers. And watch out for Lee Yi Min, he is amazing in this flick.
The Iron Fisted Monk (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Wow, what a good thing to spend 90 minutes on. This movie is highly underrated and needs to be sought out by kung fu lovers; the ending fight scene sported over 15 minutes of insane entertainment. A must-buy! Also, it was nice to see Chen Sing playing the good ol' monk San Te.
The Way Of The Dragon (product link) Martial Arts Bruce Lee's "Way of the Dragon" is one of my favorite because it was a well directed movie taken from the element of the screenplay. Not only was there a story told, but also there was a story told through camera aesthetics, this makes this movie more of a pleasure to watch.
Prodigal Boxer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Wow, I was pleasantly entertained. I am never really let down when I buy a Meng Fei film... If you don't buy this movie, you should not consider yourself a martial arts movie fanatic. A good movie to keep for your collection.
An old schooler like me, actually saw this film in one of my favorite grind houses back in the seventies. I agree with you, great film, and good fights starring Meng Fei as Fong Sai Yuk!
If you say you watch the movie 3 times, then why didn't you watch this movie 3 times, it's bad. "Contour" u gave 4 1/2 stars it's the same as 5. Don't hate man because your star happy & review goofy.
Along Comes The Tiger (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I’m truly amazed; I never thought this movie would be like this. I feel that movie should have an alternative title called The Silent Killer from Canton. It would have added a sense where this movie is going. Also, I feel this movie is highly in the Shaw and Golden Harvest tradition.
Legend Of The Fox (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I adored this film because of the convoluted story line that made plenty of sense. I'm a martial arts fanatic, and the story made this movie more of a pleasure to watch. Now, the martial arts in this film proved a spectacular oracle of what kung fu movies are supposed to have. Also, this movie is treat for the simple fact that the story line was enough; and they added martial arts! I do recommend this movie to all kung fu fanatics. But I must warn you; this is more swords play with little hand to hand combat. But it's a fast action flick. The Venoms rule!
Shaolin And Wu Tang (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie was a very good movie to watch. It had element of a Shaw Brothers movie; it contains elements such as "Master Killer" and "Invincible Pole Fighter" but very different settings... I really enjoyed watching this film.
1) I found it offensive when it came to some of the characters' ethnic heritage. I felt that they should've found some of those martial artists to play their own parts.
2) I found some of the scenes unconvincing, such as: the blow-up monk, Kam Kong's character turning his neck around looking for Jimmy Wang Yu's character, and Jimmy's character walking on walls on behalf of superior breathing techniche.
Nonetheless, the final battle was brillant, and overall it was quite entertaining. So, three and a half out of 5 for me.

The Invincible Kung Fu Trio [DOUBLE FEATURE] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Not a bad movie. It's a Shaolin vs. Wu Tang story. Honestly, I've seen better, but this is a good movie to waste a little time on. A must-see for kung fu lovers.
