Kung Fu Hustle (product link) Comedy / Action/Adventure This is just a comedy/parody of martial arts movies. My guess is that you will either love it or hate it. I hated it! Way too cartoonish for my tastes.

I totally agree. I don't understand the fascination with the unbelievably annoying Chow, and this movie was just plain awful
You have to see some Stephen Chow movies before this one. He's a clown, but he loves his kung fu. I agree it's over-done in parts, but if you are at all into the supernatural powers and skills in kung fu movies, you'll like it.
Shadowless Sword (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts This movie is terrible. It rips off just about every movie from "Lord Of The Rings" to "Crouching Tiger" to "House of Flying Daggers" to "Braveheart" and it goes on and on like this. One of the worst and most generic Korean swordplay films ever.

Insanity. Maybe nothing super new or innovative, but, oh yes, entertaining. Fabulous wirework, mythical powers, great fighting. And you can't put HOFD up there with those other movies.
This was the poorest Korean film I've seen so far. The swordplay was merely okay, and every time someone has hit with one of Jinha's Bichun techniques "dust" would fly out of them instead of blood for some reason. The huge budget I keep hearing about is also perplexing, seeing as how everything about this movie from the video quality to the music, script quality and fight scenes all seem like your average '90s HK flick.
And the worst part about the film comes about a third of the way through. The hero is badly wounded and left for dead but survives and is nursed back to health in a small village. One ASSUMES he then teaches some of the villagers his Bichun sword arts to one day come back and get revenge, but instead of showing this they just skip ahead more than a decade. Jinha has a team of assassins and his working with a bunch of guys in silver and black. You have no idea what's going on, who all these new characters are, where they come from or anything. At this point of the movie I just stopped caring. It was like they just gutted 20 minutes from the middle of the film. It was very poor script writing and I can't understand how this movie got made.

This is certainly NOT one of the worst Korean movies (I've seen worse). I say if you're into the 90s kung fu movies, you'll love this one. A little too much drama, but some great fighting, exploding bodies, good stuff.
