Bio: I have been watching Martial Arts Since 1970. I enjoyed the 42nd street NYC kung fu row from the 70's until they shut it down in the late 80's. When the genre was revived in the early 90's I became an avid fan of of Asian Cinema.

YOU ARE HERE:INTERACT HOME / MASTER CHO YE FANG'S PROFILE
Seven Steps Of Kung Fu (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Classic old school. Good fighting and nice continuous action. I like the villain in this one.
The Magic Blade (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Certainly not "The Flying Guillotine". The plot was above average. I did not like the weapon concept. Too much build-up and not enough to follow. If you can get into this weapon, you may like this more than me.

This movie is far superior to the slow-moving, fight-scene deficient Flying Guillotine. Magic Blade is one of the Shaw Brothers' best from this period.
Shaolin Intruders (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Excellent fighting. This was kung fu at the end of the old school era. We would have seen more of some of these young stars if the genre had not slowed down in the mid 80's. Most of the Shaw movies I watch now are rewatches. This was seen by me for the first time. It will get a lot of views.

this movie sucks-- hard my friend. Please write an essay to me and try to tell me what this movie was about? I was intruded on to buy this movie.
The Brave Archer And His Mate (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure 5 stars on the fighting and almost no stars for the plot. I watched this movie three times in one day to try to figure it out. Too much was squeezed into this. However, still very fun to watch. If you you are a fan of the first three, then don't miss it. It is fun. And I did figure the plot; lots of story telling along the way to help you; that was cool. Don't try too hard on the plot. The action is awesome enough to make for multiple views.
Shiri (product link) Action/Adventure / Romance I see why this was a highly regarded film. Good story, great plot, and lots of action. Absolutely loved it. It is a must-see. Easy choice if you have not seen it.

One of the most overrated movies I have ever seen. This is just an average action movie, not an unforgettable classic.
Azumi (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I am partial to Hong Kong Cinema. I like classic Shaw stuff, the '90 to '93 kung fu and swordplay stuff, as well as the new stuff. I like "Lone Wolf and Cub" and the "Blind Swordsman", but I absolutely loved this stuff. If you can handle the violence then look out for some really good over-the-top action. Can't wait to watch part 2.

This movie pales in comparison to the "Lone Wolf and Cub" and "Zatoichi" movies. However, Aya Ueto is much nicer to look at than Shintaro Katsu.
Life Gamble (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie only gets a 3 stars because I love the characters and the costumes. To see all the essential Shaw characters crammed into one movie is exciting. But the downside is that the plot was almost non-existent or too complicated or disjointed to follow. I was extremely disappointed with the overall piece.

make up your mind. Either there was no plot or it was too complicated. You can't have both.
