Bio: I have been collecting Asian cinema since I was 14. I Have been watching kung fu movies since 1985. I am now 26 and threw the years of buying kung fu movies wherever I could find them I have accumulated over 1000 DVDs in my collection(no exaggeration). I'm not a film critic, but I do know a thing or two about kung fu movies.
Return Of The Sentimental Swordsman (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure What an outstanding film from Chu Yuan, a pleasure to watch . The cast, the plot, and the fight choreography are all top class in this wuxia masterpiece. As a collector and Asian film connoisseur, I often prefer to watch films in their original language. But it still puzzles me why one of Shaw Brothers' highest grossing films, and possibly one of the best wuxia films I've ever seen, does not have an English dub so more could enjoy.

This is definitely a must see for fans of wuxia. One of the few times I can remember Fu Sheng playing a nasty villain with no posing.
Ashes Of Time (product link) Swordplay/Sword(s) / Art I went into this film thinking I was going to see something special, due to its high praise and superb cast of stars. I was let down once again. This type of film is definitely not my style. They call it art, well I guess I'm going to skip class and go watch "The Bride With White Hair", a far superior film from that era of Hong Kong film in my opinion.

You're right, BWWH was way better than this flick.
Full Contact (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime Over the top action. I never get tired of watching this classic. CYF is as tough as nails, and Simon Yam in a role to remember. This film is HK action at its best!
The Sword [1971] (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This movie was surprisingly good and had a powerful message. It was refreshing to see Wang Yu play a role different from his usual witty, righteous hero. Instead we get a conniving, spoiled nobleman. I won't say that the film is high on action, because it's not; what you will get is great acting from one of Asia's greatest stars, Jimmy Wang Yu.

You bet your ass Jimmy is one of Asia's greatest stars.
Protege (product link) Crime / Thriller This is a powerful film. "Protege" gives a several views into the HK heroin trade. All of the characters are well portrayed and Derek Yee shows his great directorial skills. I enjoyed this movie more than I thought I would. Andy Lau and Daniel Wu have great screen chemistry and are a pleasure to watch together.
PTU (product link) Action/Adventure / Crime I had this movie for months and could never watch it all the way through. Man I didn't know how I was selling myself short. The ending basically makes the whole film worth watching. What kept throwing me off was the amount of characters and sub plots, but that is what makes "PTU" such an interesting film.

Ip Man (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure I have to say that this is one of Donnie Yen's best performances to date. The fight scenes are amazing and the story is compelling. This is a must-see for martial arts fans. I highly recommend.

This movie is just GREAT! And Donnie Yen is really a good actor and Martial Arts! Definitely a must see! ;o)
Election 2 (product link) Triad / Crime I enjoyed this on more than the first. In this one you get to see the true colors of the main characters, and most importantly the body count rises. The dog kennel scene is my favorite.
Election (product link) Triad / Crime I was expecting a lot more dead bodies in this one. Still in all this was an entertaining film, with tremendous star power. It definitely has replay value.
The Blood Brothers (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure To start, I have been watching this movie since I was a kid, and seen it more times than I can count. I could never get over the way it ended! And I even hated the the movie for awhile. Now as an adult I appreciate the great story for what it is.
Red Wolf (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A good HK action flick with tons a gunfire and nice fight scenes . The acting was not great but still a good watch.
Lightning Kung Fu (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure This is a great no nonsense kung fu flick. Chen Kwan Tai is great in this one and takes no prisoners.
