The Machine Girl (product link) Action/Adventure / Girls With Guns WOW, what a film. I don't think I have seen so much gore in a film like this one before. There are some crazy weapons in this movie, such as the flying guillotine 'chainsaw' and--who could forget?--the drill bra. If you like to see plenty of limbs get the chop and loads of blood squirting everywhere, then you've come to the right place. This is the beautiful Minase Yoshiro's debut film and she doesn't disappoint either. This is sure to entertain.
The film is over-hyped by many reviewers. I did say "Chocolate has good action scenes" It's for the action person. A good kung fu film has a good story 2 follow, so that were not trying to dumb down asian cinema. U need to watch more real fu films.
Ten Tigers From Kwangtung (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I really enjoyed this movie. The only letdown is the story. Apart from that, the action is unbelievable and there is lots of it. Good to see Ti Lung and Fu Sheng with the Venoms mob. If you like loads of kung fu and don't care too much about the plot, this is the film for you.

Each of the constituent parts is extremely good. The problem that the parts don't fit together intelligibly brings my score down a bit - but the cast is great, and each part has many charms. Your score is justifiable.
this was like a bad edit job. nothing made any sense. I'd rather watch a good movie with 4 good fights then a bad one with 10.alright ones no matter who's in it!
You need to watch real kung fu movies, because the story and martial arts are important in Asian Cinema. Without a good story with the action your missing the point of a true fu film.
Return Of The 5 Deadly Venoms (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is without doubt my favorite Venoms film. The fight choreography in this Chang Cheh classic is some of best I have ever seen. This is a must-have film. Just get it; you won't be disappointed.

Yes! Five stars is eminently appropriate. This is in my top three Venoms films - very high praise indeed.
Intimate Confessions Of A Chinese Courtesan (product link) Drama / Erotica I think this film is amazing. Chor Yuen made a masterpiece with truly astonishing sets and costume design. I was very impressed with
the equally beautiful Lily Ho and Pei Ti's performances, both as actresses and sword fighters. I also think Yueh Hua played a decent role as the chief policeman always on the trail of Lily Ho's character Ainu. Being that the film is set in a brothel, if you're expecting plenty of nudity you'll be disappointed. There's a little but not a lot. Overall I would highly recommend this Shaw Brothers classic to anyone who likes this genre of film. The acting and swordplay make for essential viewing.
Game Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The film was really bad. Every time I saw Bruce Lee, I kept saying to myself that's from "Fist Of Fury" or that's from "Way Of The Dragon". The only part of the film worth watching is the last 15 minutes, but by then the damage is already done. Had Bruce Lee not passed away, I think this would have been his finest achievement.

The film Bruce Lee intended would have been a masterpiece - but it never existed. This is nothing but the chewing of his bones by jackals who never understood him. So much of "Bruce" here is stuntmen and stand-ins with no real resemblance to the man.
this film is bad. Don't get me wrong i love Bruce and i have this film in my collection. The vision that Bruce lee had for this film is way different than what was shown on the movie screen. Bruce lee would roll in his grave for all the butchering
I understand what you are saying-but give it a couple of stars just for Bruce who makes any film he is in better, especially Enter the Dragon and Game of Death
Chocolate [2008] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I've read a lot of mixed reviews about this film. Some say the plot is weak and others say the action is over the top and badly choreographed. Personally, I loved the film. I must admit the plot is weak to a certain extent, but the action definitely makes up for that. Jeeja Yanin's ability as a martial artist is incredible. She is without doubt in my opinion the best female action star I have seen in a long time. The last 25 minutes of the film is truly astonishing: the way she fights her way through 30 odd bad guys has to be seen to be believed. You can see as the credits roll there were a lot of injuries due to some crazy stunts, Jackie Chan style. I would say if, like me, you enjoyed "Ong-Bak" and "The Warrior King", then you should like this film. I just hope Jeeja Yanin goes on to make more films and not be a flash in the pan. What a waste of talent that would be.

The film is entertaining from start to finish. It isn't a retread of anything else, but something very good in itself.
4 and half stars thats crazy talk. The movie does deliver good action but other then that it's just very bad on storytelling. But give me a break and watch the whole movie again and then review.
the movie was alright, nothing really amazing- the movie could of showcase JeeJa Yanin talent in a much better fu flick. and it's not def. 4 and half stars
A Tale Of Two Sisters (product link) Thriller / Horror Horror with a twist. If you're a fan of k-horror movies, I would highly recommend you buying this gem. Kim Jee-Woon made a masterpiece here. It is up there with the very best. Shitty-pants scary.
