Fire Dragon (see film details)
Martial Arts / Fantasy

If you like any of the wire-inspired 90s kung fu movies, and especially if you like Brigitte Lin, you'll love this one. Great fighting, and the story's okay. Check this one out.

The King And The Clown [China DVD-5] (see film details)
Drama / Comedy

Awesome Korean movie. Great acting, funny story, fabulous costumes and settings. And it's loosely based on one of Korea's real kings who was a little nutty.

A Chinese Odyssey 2: Cinderella [2-Disc Set] (see film details)
Comedy / Drama

Fabulous Stephen Chow follow-up to A Chinese Odyssey 1. He was made for the Monkey King part. Very funny movie, extremely creative, good action, awesome story, great costumes. A must for Hong Kong/Chinese movie viewers.

The Tai Chi Master [1993] (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Awesome Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh movie. Awesome fighting, good story, a must for 90s martial arts fans.

The Blade (see film details)
Swordplay/Sword(s) / Action/Adventure

Unbelievable movie. Not non-stop action, but still one of my favorite martial arts movies. Tsui Hark (director) is a genius. Vincent Zhao and Hung Yan Yan are great.

Infernal Affairs (see film details)
Drama / Crime

Awesome movie. Tony Leung is great. Full of suspense. If you plan on seeing "The Departed" (the U.S. movie based on "Infernal Affairs", which sticks very close to the story), check out this one first. But the twists in "The Departed" aren't as powerful after you've already seen "Infernal Affairs".

Wing Chun (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Great martial arts movie. I love Michelle Yeoh and especially Donnie Yen. Some very funny parts, too. A definite for 90s martial arts fans.

Friend [2001] (see film details)
Crime / Drama

Great growing-up-on-the-streets Korean movie. Not a "gangster" movie, but gang-related. Moving story, brutal, heart-breaking scenes. A Korean classic.

Bichunmoo (see film details)
Drama / Action/Adventure

Awesome movie. Story is a little too sappy, but if you like some wire work, bodies being sliced in half, solid martial arts, this is a cool movie. Definitely recommend it.

Kung Fu Hustle (see film details)
Comedy / Action/Adventure

Extremely entertaining movie. Funny, good special effects, decent fighting. It combines so many of the mystical powers from the kung fu movies before it. The special effects and comical parts are a little over-done in spots. The fighting is pretty good, and I could still watch this movie over and over again and enjoy it.

North Korean Guys (see film details)
Comedy / Action/Adventure

Surprisingly good. I wasn't expecting much, but this was a funny movie. Even my wife, who's Korean and is critical of most Korean movies, thought it was good.

The Sword [1980] (see film details)
Swordplay/Sword(s) / Martial Arts

Good, especially for an older (1980) movie. I love Adam Cheng (from Zu).

Warriors Of Heaven And Earth (see film details)
Drama / War

Great epic movie. Engaging story, beautiful scenery.

King Of Beggars (see film details)
Comedy / Nonsense Comedy

A pretty funny martial arts movie. Stephen Chow's "sleepy style" kung fu is great.

Dr. Wai In The Scripture With No Words (see film details)
Martial Arts / Fantasy

Much better than expected. Billed as a Jet Li Indiana Jones movie but supposedly not nearly as good. I thought it had a great story, some humor, impressive action. A definite for Jet Li fans.

The Chinese Feast (see film details)
Comedy / Drama

Great non-martial arts movie with martial arts-type feel. Cool story, yummy food. I'm not a big Leslie Cheung fan, but I like this one. Vincent Zhao and Hung Yan Yan are great too. Another awesome Tsui Hark creation.

Xanda (see film details)
Action/Adventure / Martial Arts

Better than I expected. I don't like boxing much and know nothing about the sport xanda, but this was still good. I love Tsui Hark, so I had to check this out. It can be compared to a Chinese version of Rocky. Xanda had a good story, pretty solid characters that I could get into, and the action wasn't too bad. I love the traditional kung fu stuff, but this was still entertaining.

Cyclo (see film details)
Drama / Art

A very well done and (seemingly) real movie, but pretty depressing. I didn't really read the description before buying it, but I thought it was just a love story between Tony Leung and a Vietnamese girl. I can see why it won some international film fest awards, but then, most of the movies that win those awards are a little strange and mostly sad.

The Soul Guardians (see film details)
Horror / Action/Adventure

Pretty weird but interesting. Got it because I like Ahn Seong-Ki and Shin Hyun-Jun. Can't recommend you go out of your way to see this, but if you get a chance and like Korean movies, it's not bad.

The Butterfly Murders (see film details)
Martial Arts / Action/Adventure

Solid old school kung fu flick with some mystery. I'm more into the 90s and later stuff, but I had to see this one because it's Tsui Hark.
