I am Wong-Fei Hung from Fu-Shan

Advantages: something for everyone, even women love these movies
Disadvantages: A little dated now, sometimes a little to tongue in cheek.

...portraying this person but the Once Upon A Time in China movies tell the legend the best. Some small elements of fantasy within some fight scenes but for the most part raw hard hitting martial arts. Films are better in cantonese with subtitles rather than cheesy dubbing. This box contains the first three of a total of six movies. The other three movies are titled Last Hero in China, Once upon a Time in China and America, {Kung-Fu shenanigans in ...
...6 {avoid this, this is the only one that doesn't star Jet Li and it's very poor} Much like Rocky through the course of the movies you see a love relationship blossom between Fei-Hung and Aunt Yee {no relative} The films also continue the story so you really build an affection for the charachters, such as Ah Soh, Ah Fu, porky, and Clubfoot. The films contain loads of humour and in parts are hysterical. I love ther part where Wong Fei-Hung woh happens ...

Review of Once Upon A Time In China - Complete Trilogy (DVD)

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Advantages: Great Fight Scenes
Disadvantages: None, Bruce Lee Rocks

Bruce Lee, The Man is a legend when it comes to Martial Arts films. This was the first film Bruce was to do with Golden Harvest Films and although the later films are much better it is still a well worth watching film. Now before I start of course the original is not going to be in English although the DVD will give you the option of putting on the Dubs. I think to really appreciate the film then you need to watch it as the Director intended. And ...
...all about the fighting and nobody does it better than Bruce Lee. So the film itself has a vague plot about drugs and cheap labour and even though it does drag sometimes, the action more than makes up for it. I remember the first time I saw this film as a boy, I was instantly hooked on martial arts and wanted to be just like Bruce. It's worth pointing out that there is a love story (as with all Bruce Lee films) in the background but enough of that ...

Review of The Big Boss (Subtitled and Dubbed) (Wide Screen) (DVD)

Listen up Sonny boy

Advantages: Actually very good
Disadvantages: overlooked for more well known martial arts actors

Sonny Chiba movies seem to often get overlooked for the more glitzy martial arts actors such as Jet Lee and Jackie Chan and Chow Yun Fat. Many of Sonny Chiba's movies are often mature, and totally action packed, with very good storylines. Many of Sonny Chibas films are traditional period types, such as samurai's or ninjas. The fight scenes are often very good indeed, especially the sword fights. More often that not the films are in the native Japanese ...

Review of Sonny Chiba Collection - Vol. 2 (DVD)

kung fu fans collect this

Advantages: good price to collect now
Disadvantages: not funny

bulletproof monk is jam packed with chinese style kung fu, yet a bit dissapointing conversations from Chow Yun Fat Based on the very underground comic book, Chow is the immortal Tibetan monk that needs to protect the scroll. the first half of the movie was rather thrilling with good computer generated animation etc. but the second half is rather repeating itself and it is rather boring. I would buy and keep this for a rainy day and when there's ...
...A punk. A chick. In a kick-ass flick. this says it all... Seann William Scott is funny as usual...so if all things failed to amuse you. you would find yourself smilling when movie is over Kung pow enter the fist...... not a bad movie, however, i would't say it is an interesting one. ...
