 | |  | |  Killer's Nocturne (see film details)
Crime / Drama
"Killer's Nocture" is one of Nam Nai Choi's more serious films before he started doing the awesome weirdo films like "Seventh Curse" or "Story of Ricky". This movie is about a kid whose father is coerced toward suicide after being beaten and humiliated by a gangster leader in a (Chinese) gambling game. He now lives in total misery after a girl he fell in love with gets killed and is forced to leave the country. He must now habituate gambling and seek revenge against his father. (Forgive my silliness of telling the plot line.) The story is really good. There are moments of ridiculousness, like when the kid fights a kangaroo, and some of the death scenes are funny--violent on the level of "Seventh Curse", but funny. The action was good as well. I totally recommend this one.

| | | |  Men From The Gutter (see film details)
Crime / Thriller
This is one of the best films ever. This movie has a ton of action with a lot of blood. It's a complex yet understandable story about these cops on the hunt for a hitman who is seeking revenge against a triad gang. This film is directed by Lam Nai Choi ("Story Of Ricky"), who is now one of my all time favorite directors. I really must recommend this movie. It's fast-paced, a bit weird, with bloody and well choreographed action and editing (it won an award for best editing from some trivial movie awards thing).

| | | |  Dororo (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Fantasy
A movie about an artificial samurai who is on a quest to retreive 48 of his body parts from demons with the help of the obnoxious Dororo. My feelings about this movie are ambivalent. The film does have good moments like SOME of the fight scenes, and some of the story is good, like when the artifical samurai went into a town to stop cannibalistic demons, or the part when the samurai was at infancy and being simulated by the scientist. But this movie is too pop culture-esque. First, the film drags. I'm agitated with that Dororo character, yelling and acting retarded throughout the movie. It was poorly acted. The overall story was weak and dull. I love the concept of it all, but it just lags on to the point where you just want to see the action (in which I hate). The cinematography I'm ambivalent towards. Some certain things are cool, like the infant scene because I have a thing for artifical hybridizing simulations or flesh machine fusion (through malignancy or by other means). But other parts are dull. So I'm not clear as to whether this film is a must-see or not. I like it just fine. I can only guess I was devastated because I expected better. |

| | | |  Chinese Super Ninja (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure
This is one of my favorite films. It's about this martial arts clan who are given a challenge by the 5 element ninjas after defeating a samurai from a rival clan. Of course the martial arts clan lose and are wiped out by the ninjas. one man survives and learns ninjistu from some old master and takes revenge. A lot of fights and all of it good. No doubt one of the best.

| | | |  Shaolin Challenges Ninja (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure
The movie that started the whole ninja thing in China (I believe). Regardeless, this is yet another great movie by Lau Kar Leung. I like the fact that they cast Japanese actors and martial artist to played the fighting opponents for Gordon Liu. All the fights were great as usual.

| | | |  Return Of The 5 Deadly Venoms (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure
Aside from "Five Deadly Venoms", this is by far the greatest Venoms film ever made (in my opinion, that is--I don't care what you like). Great kung fu action, the crippled concept is original and innovative and the story is great.

| | | |  New Tales Of The Flying Fox (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure
I perfer the Venoms version of this movie. Yes this movie is either a rip-off of "Legend Of The Fox" or perhaps a three-years-later new version of this film. I'm not ever sure if it's based on a book. Well at any rate, the movie does have a ton of kung fu action. The story was just too dumb.
| | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | N | It is called a remake, like Fist of the White Lotus was in regards to Executioners From Shaolin. The story was basically the same. | Sgt. T |
