Martial Arts > 30 GBP and more Martial Arts

Breath taking

Advantages: Stunt work, trio action, slapstick comedy
Disadvantages: Storyline slightly poor I guess, not the usual standards.

An early work from the Chan Hung and Biao Trio, the storyline here is a drug lord one, Jackie Chan is one of the city's finest Lawyers, and Sammo once again is the famous and brilliant chubby thief, and Yuan Biao is Jackies spying ninja friend, who all get involved with the owner of a fish farm who is sueing the neighbouring cloths factory for polluting the waters which is killing her precious fish, the Lawyer falls for the owners cousin and therefore ...
...in love with the owner risks his life to discover the terrible truth of the factory, while Yuan biao discovers Sammo's disappearence and saves him with Jackie. Brilliant action from the trio, with an outstanding fight scene with jackie and some white karate boxer guy who was in I think meals on wheels. and some more stunt work from the three. DVD Features: Original cantonese audio, along with the option of english dub, with english and a few european ...

Review of Dragons Forever (Platinum Edition) (DVD)

Bloodsport / Enter The Dragon / Showdown In Little Tokyo

Advantages: Brilliant films
Disadvantages: Only three films

...opinion the best of three, bloodsport has Van Damme at his best and for me was a truly enjoyable watch, more violent and realistic than Enter the Dragon but for me not quite as good. Showdown in Little Tokyo is also a strong film with more realism than Enter The Dragon but the martial arts skill is not even close. As a whole the three films are very watchable time and time again and make an essential part of a martial art fans collection. ...

Review of Bloodsport / Enter The Dragon / Showdown In Little Tokyo (Uncut) (DVD)

Nice Pack

Advantages: Full of good action
Disadvantages: hardly any

Like many Jackie Chan vehicles, is just as enjoyable even if seen in a non-English version. With a few exceptions, the plot simply serves to space out stunt and action scenes that are among the best--and funniest--Chan has ever done.As survivors of the pirate band vow revenge on Sergeant Dragon Mao (Jackie Chan). Back in Hong Kong, officials seek to reduce the power of corrupt Police Superintendent Chun (David Lam) by giving command of one of his ...
...standard Hong Kong film, Chan took every chance to push himself to the limit. The detailed sets, which recreate late 19th century Hong Kong in exquisite detail, have been used in numerous films since. As if anyone cares about the sets in a Jackie Chan movie...so go for this movie ...

Review of Jackie Chan - Project A (Special Collector's Edition) (Box Set) (DVD)

Only Fewl Fight Men With Monkey!

Advantages: great actions scenes; funny
Disadvantages: unrealistic

On the rare occasion that I get home at the crack of dawn, I find myself living the cliche 'too tired to go to bed'. With your mind refusing work or sleep, and somehow keeping you in a limbo of half wakefulness, there are only a couple of things you can do in my humble abode. First one is flipping to pirated playboy and watching Julie Ashton in one of her weird home made porn flicks. The other and definitely more preferred thing to do is to have ...
...find out what happens at the end. Set 100-200 years ago in China, the Iron Monkey is the Honk Kong version of Robin Hood, and unlike all other Robins, this guy does not speak with an English accent. He speaks Chinese. He is a Chinese d00d dressed up like a Japanese Ninja who stalks a very poor town at night, stealing from the rich and feeding the hungry. The fight scenes are highly unrealistic and humorous, yet they are much too much fun to watch. ...

Review of The Iron Monkey (DVD)

TWINKLE TWINKLE MY LUCKY STARS (1985)

Advantages: The choreographed fights scenes won't let you down
Disadvantages: Too many cast to concentrate or relate to. Too much libidos

...the same cast. ‘Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars (TTLS)’ is an action comedy, just like the two previous instalments. The mighty Sammo Hung directed the film as well as starring in it. The cast I remember seeing in ‘Winners and Sinners’ were Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Stanley Fung, John Sham and Richard Ng. Eric Tsang was supposingly introduced in ‘My Lucky Stars’ and ‘Twinkles’ introduced a young and handsome character called ‘Pagodo’ (Michael Miu). With ...
...assume that there would be outstanding fighting scenes without a double. This was true. If ‘Winners and Sinners’ is believed to be the funniest out of the instalments, then TTLS, in my opinion, is definitely more action orientated. Sammo Hung was able to choreograph several breathtaking fight scenes, which enable the trio to demonstrate their potential. This time, Hung was also able to introduce new talents within the fight, such as Andy Lau. My ...
