The 7 Grandmasters (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure A film I can watch over and over again, for the many varied fighting styles and the detail of their depiction. A minor quibble is the main character's attempts to win over his master, which detracts from an otherwise solid film.
Black Belt (product link) Martial Arts / Drama The overall balance of the film could have been better with a little more of the superb fighting and a little less drama (which was not bad, but over-extended). The final fight, while enjoyable, was mildly artificial because the opponents survived hits which had hereto been lethal. Nevertheless, this is a fine movie.
When The Last Sword Is Drawn [Korean LE 2-Disc Set + Sharpener] (product link) Drama / Swordplay/Sword(s) A good film spoiled by overly-long and excessively melodramatic rememberances. On the other hand, authentic sword choreography, intriguing plot, and the rival swordsmen's depth of characters redeem the film.
10 Tigers Of Shaolin (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure The story, sets, acting, and sound are basic, but the kung fu is entertaining and wire-less. The ending is one long satisfying fight.
Operation Scorpio (product link) Martial Arts / Action/Adventure Novel scorpion style and fantastic kicking. However, too much of the film is wasted on boring comedy and amateurish acting. Good 10-minute fight sequence at the end.
Re-watchability: annually.
Collection: Toss out.
