Rasputin (product link) Erotica / Drama Hardcore is right in describing this movie. I enjoyed it, but it's mainly adult content, so don't watch if sex is not your thing.
From Beyond (product link) Horror / Thriller [This is the] first time I have seen it in years, and it was well worth the wait. Great acting, great story, and great effects.
The One Armed Boxer (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure It's always good to see Wang Yu, and this film will not disappoint. [The version I watched] states to be uncut, but I have my doubts as there are still a few scenes that that look trimmed. Still worth a look.
Fist Of The White Lotus (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I was pleasently surprised with this kung fu flick. The action was old school at its best. I will watch it more than once.
Invincible Shaolin (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The pace was a little slow but the training and action scenes made up for this. A DVD worth having in your collection.
Haute Tension (product link) Horror / Thriller A good all-round horror--fast-paced and bloody--and it gave a feeling of being in the late 70s/early 80s as intended. The ending will either annoy you or make you smile, Horror buffs will watch this more than once.

I'm not really a horror buff, but I watched this several times, and remain a fan.
Broken Oath (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure We all know it's a rip-off of "Lady Snowblood", but Angela Mao is at her best here. I enjoyed it...a solid martial arts movie even if it's slow to get started.

I agree. This one starts a little slow, but once it gets going it's pretty entertaining. Angela Mao is terrific.
The Iron Dragon Strikes Back (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is an above average 70`s flick starring Ho Chung-Tao. The fights at least show no signs of the usual Bruce Lee cloning. But it's worth a look just for the sheer nostalgia alone.
One Armed Swordsmen Vs. 9 Killers (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Not one of Jimmy Wang Yu's greatest movies, but his screen presence makes up for what would have been an easily forgettable swordplay movie.
Iron Monkey 2 [1978] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Chen Kuan is great in this basic kung fu plot, but forget plot and watch the movie.
The Magnificent Ruffians (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The plot dosen't seem to make sense; but, looking past that, the Venom mob are in good form. In my opinion, although it's not their greatest effort, it's still worth a look.
The Secret Rivals / The Secret Rivals 2 [2-Pack] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure If these movies were school reports they would say "could have done better". Worth a look at best.

I'm not a huge fan of legwork, which these movies showcase, but Hwang Jang Lee's fighting absolutely impresses me. I do find these movies a bit dull between the fighting, but would give them 4/5 at least for the quality of choreography & performances.
