Azumi (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Finding Japanese movies that bring to life the world of Ninjitsu, well, is rare. In "Azumi" you'll get a lot of acrobatics, and well-performed martial arts "dancing". I find the effects, the wardrobe, and the acting satisfying. I try to keep my views accurate and brief. I strongly recommend "Azumi" I & II!

i agree i would recommend azumi 1 and 2 the first is the best but the second is still an ok movie.
Dirty Ho (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Hopefully many of the fans of this genre of movies have had the opportunity to see Chia Hui (Gordon Liu), mature. This is by far one of his best films. The martial art and choreography was famed in this movie. The plot was strong and comedic. I strongly suggest one add this to their repertoire.
The Bells Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I pride myself on being brief and honest with my reviews...I give it a 1!!! Just out of respect for the genre. I am glad to see the martial arts movies have moved on. Light speed ahead. Instead of this movie, "Eat more chicken!"
The Bare Footed Kid (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I enjoy being surprised by what I call sleepers. This is exactly what one has in "The Bare Footed Kid". When I purchased this movie I was hoping for more hand - to - hand combat with a lot less wire work. I adore the "Fist of Legend" styled movies a lot more. You will get minor wire work in this movie, but much more respectable martial arts choreography. To add, actors/actresses one may not be familiar with. This is pleasing, for it brings promise to the future of the martial arts movies' genre. I once again, strongly suggest this movie to be added to one's repertoire.

The movie has potential & great actors plus a talented director somehow it was not really all that & certainly not 4 stars.
Seven Swords (product link) Martial Arts / Swordplay/Sword(s) How could one review a movie such as "Seven Swords", and try to be brief but still be fully expressive of the enjoyment, and satisfaction one will feel when they view a movie that shows the Western cinema world the Asian market has surpassed them. You want an epic movie of blockbuster capacity? Or maybe you're looking for a film that merges old - school with tommorrow's stars. Here one will own a movie that will forever be a favorite. One will watch this movie and save it...not for a rainy day! No...that does it no justice. Save it, to forget the beautiful martial arts, exciting plot/story and wonderful choreography, save it, to only re - live that same elating experience, where the back of your chair becomes your seat...and your seat becomes your foot rest. Save it, for a good day to only get better. Suggest...NO! I demand one to add this to their repertoire.

Valid points, good review..maybe a half star less. Ignore those who have no knowledge of film Asian Wu xia or the world in general.
i can understand how this film got more than 2 stars. There were so many involuntary humorous moments, so much pretense, .... I think Tsui Hark should stick to producing
I am saying no because I do not know which version you are referring to. The international version is a mess, it slaps together with no ease & a lot of confusion. The original cut of the film has a better story telling & the pace is fantastic.
Dragon Tiger Gate (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I know how many reviewers do not like to give perfect ratings, on some ole' "I never give a perfect score" default. Well here it is!!! 5, get it, watch it, watch it again, and again...Enjoy everything about this movie. Love Donnie's mother for teaching him martial arts, love Donnie for taking his talents to the next statosphere! Love the promise this movie gives us all, that the martial arts world will still be alive, with or without Jackie or Jet. I dare one not to enjoy this film, This is where Marvel meets Martial...The action, matial arts and choreography are excellent, the plot and story...strong! Suggest...No I demand all to add this to their repertoire.

The film is an insult because the comics had more exciting action sequences. The film is a joke & not a very good joke. We have pretty boys fighting off but their is not a solid story to be found.
I gave this film 3 stars- I enjoyed it too but I found a little corny- but it is a very enjoyable guilty pleasure film. Donnie Yen is a great actor & martial artist, I agree.
B13: Banlieue 13 (product link) Action/Adventure / Martial Arts French action and martial arts. This is where we see Asian influence really taking on the world. I enjoyed this movie, for much the reason I enjoy Asian movies. A different look into their cinema world. One may remember "Brotherhood of the Wolf", which didn't leave much promise for B13! I stood corrected, B13 provides one with much action and favorable acrobatics and martial arts marriage to overlook a sub par plot. I strongly suggest one add this movie to their repertoire.

yes i'm with you there i did enjoy the film there's some good action in the film and you're rating of 3 and a half stars is about right.
All Men Are Brothers: Blood Of The Leopard (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I like to give really brief and respectfully honest opinions on the movies I review. First off the martial arts in the movies was entertaining and above average. I am a fan of Tsui Kam-Kong, along with a couple other perfomers in this movie. The plot was evenly paced, a re - make from the Shaw Bros. film. I strongly suggest one add this film to their repertoire. My rating is not inflated.
