Dragon Tiger Gate (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

After the blistering "SPL", how did Donnie Yen fail so badly?

Shaolin Temple [1982] (see film details)
Martial Arts / Drama

Jet Li's film debut is required viewing. Jet is at his physical peak, and the Drunken Pole vs. Drunken Sword battle is one of his very finest. This whole film is packed with amazing training sequences and fights.

Shaolin Vs. Lama [Ground Zero] (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Absolutely amazing for a low budget mainland Chinese production. Fantastic costumes and incredible fights.

Thriller: A Cruel Picture (see film details)
Thriller / Crime

Lots of technical shortcomings, but this is an exploitation classic that spawned many imitators.

Shoot 'Em Up (see film details)
Dark Comedy / Bullet Ballet

Highly entertaining as an intentionally stupid action flick. No depth whatsoever, but some great shoot-out set pieces.

Fire Dragon (see film details)
Martial Arts / Fantasy

Derivative wire-fu wuxia flick, but it has some good explosive action, especially in the first 20 minutes. Brigitte Lin is deadly as ever.

Wheels On Meals (see film details)
Martial Arts / Comedy

Not bad, but too much silliness and not enough fighting. Jackie's fight with Benny Urquidez is pretty good, but very highly overrated. It's nowhere near the best fight of Jackie's career.

Royal Warriors [Mega Star] (see film details)
Martial Arts / Girls With Guns

A fun but silly early action vehicle for Michelle Yeoh.

Chinese Super Ninja (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Freaking awesome. A classic.

Sukiyaki Western Django (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Western

Dripping with visual style and cool action, Miike's latest is certainly a gorgeous film. However, having the Japanese cast delivering all their dialog in badly broken English makes the story very hard to follow.

The Devils (see film details)
Horror / Erotica

Dark and brooding witchhunt flick bubbling over with dramatic tension and sexual energy. The sets and costumes are gorgeous, too--plus naked nuns!

Flash Point (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Martial Arts

Even better than (the excellent) "SPL". Donnie Yen is probably the best action choreographer in Hong Kong these days.

Lady Kung Fu (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

This movie is very similar to "Fist of Fury", where one school has to overcome the evil rival Japanese school. Angelo Mao is adorable and Sammo Hung is excellent in one of his first starring roles. You also get a Hapkido demonstration from a real master.

The Machine Girl (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Girls With Guns

This is the best over-the-top cheese gorefest since "Riki-oh". Hot chicks, cool ninjas, sick weapons, and buckets of blood. Awesome, check your brain at the door and have a blast.

Dawn Of The Dead [1978] (see film details)
Horror / Thriller

This is not just the best zombie movie of all time, I think it's the greatest horror movie ever made. Vicious, funny, and terrifying.

Shikoku (see film details)
Horror / Thriller

Boring.

Drive [Director's Cut] [Medusa] (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Martial Arts

"Drive" is the best martial arts movie ever made in North America with an American star. Hands down. The comedy was actually funny, and Dacascos gives the best fighting performance of his career. The uncut version is the one to get.

RoboCop (see film details)
Science Fiction / Action/Adventure

A classic sci-fi action flick. One of my absolute favourite movies ever.

Fearless [2006] (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

**NOTE: This review is for the director's cut of "Fearless".**

For all the hype about Michelle Yeoh's scenes being cut from the theatrical cut, I have to say that the (very) brief section with Yeoh at the beginning is silly and was probably better left on the cutting room floor. However, the rest of the footage restored in this cut of "Fearless" adds character depth, longer fights, more detailed dialog and one extra fight scene. Plus the order of the film is switched up so it is all chronological instead of starting at the final fight and then flashing back. All things considered, this is the superior cut of a great film.

YI agree with you about the Michelle Yeoh scences. It was defintely a Chinese promo for the olympic committe. This cut really made me see this film in a whole new lightLittle Dragon Fan



Azumi 2 (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

This movie isn't as good as the first one, as it is obviously limited by a signifiacantly smaller budget. However, it still delivers some stylish sword fighting action and lots of pouting and posing from the female stars. Worth a look.
