Drunken Master 2 (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Made in 1994 when kung fu movies became cool again, many people doubted that Jackie Chan could still pull off a traditional kung fu movie. What did they know? This is Chan at his best! Standout fights include the teahouse, using split bamboo, and the outstanding final fight with Ken Lo. Chan really does punish himself to entertain us and in doing so gives us a truly brilliant film with some of the best action sequences ever captured on film.

Jackie really delivered the goods here. This is definitely one of his top 3 all time masterpieces.
Sting Of The Dragon Master (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Angela Mao kicks ass and shows that the female of the species is definitely deadlier than the male. Mao stands up for the Koreans in this well paced flick.
Fearless [2006] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A top-quality martial arts movie which is beautifully filmed. Some fantastic fight sequences throughout the movie and Jet Li shows he can deliver an emotional performance to boot. The extended cut fleshes out the film and makes for a more emotional story than the theatrical version and in doing so makes an already great movie even greater.
Five Fingers Of Death (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A classic Shaw Bros. film! How else do you get to show that your hands glow red with the power contained in them? Easy, have them smashed to a pulp and then relearn everything again! A great film!
Chinese Super Ninja (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A fun film with an insane story. Excessive amounts of wire work. I do enjoy Shaw Bros' flicks, but I find that interior shooting substituting for genuine outdoor locations does tend to show budget limitations. But hey, it's a kung fu movie and thats what it delivers!
Lady Whirlwind (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure An okay movie, but the fighting sound fx sound a little like a tennis ball being hit! Angela Mao kicks ass again, which is always a good thing!
The Last Blood [Mega Star] (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime As with the majority of Wong Jing directed movies, this film has an odd mix of bloody violence and off the wall humour. A good movie overall, but despite being known as "Hard Boiled 2" in some countries has no link whatsover to the vastly superior "Hard Boiled".
Pantyhose Hero (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A surprisingly action-light film from Sammo Hung. The vast majority of the film seems to focus on Sammo's and Alan Tam's quest to be as gay as possible--cue much political incorrectness. It is still a fun movie; and even though the fights are few and far between, when they come they are still the standard you'd expect from a top-notch action director like Sammo Hung.
