Only Fewl Fight Men With Monkey!
Review of The Iron Monkey DVD by Skyth

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. ... Read review

Review of Snake In The Eagle's Shadow (Subtitled and Dubbed) (Wide Screen) by cobainkurdt

Advantages: Jackie Chan at his strongest, fastest and funniest!

Excellent fighting techniques, brilliant humour....actors of such competence ie Jackie Chan and Mr Cheung-Tien......when ... Read review

Tung Lung, Honours Bruce's death
Review of Game Of Death 2 (Wide Screen) by Bandit_Haze

Advantages: Excellent martial arts, from Tung Lung
Disadvantages: none

Game of Death 2 Staring Tung Lung, Huong Cheng-Li, Roy Horan, Lee Hoi-San and previously unseen footage of Bruce Lee. The film in many ways is similar to Fist of Fury 2 they are both about avenging the death of a brother. In this case Bobby Lo played by Tung Lung set out to get revenge for the death of Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) at the hands of Jim Koo (Huong Cheng-Li). This film has a lot less American influence than Game of Death , which ...
...and fighting scenes than a well thought out story Probably the best Bruce Lee film ever made, even though Bruce Lee is not actually in it. Made with previously unseen footage of his films, a stand in and completed with the classic poorly dubbed English lame dialogue and amazing Kung Fu. When Billy Lo (Bruce Lee) is killed at friend Jim Koo's funeral, brother Bobby Lo (Tong Lung) sets out to avenge his death. Bobby Lo sets off to Japan to meet ... Read review

Utterly funny.
Review of My Lucky Stars (Wide Screen) by shintai88

Advantages: Funny scene in Japanese Hotel ordering food, and taking advantage of female ICPO agent
Disadvantages: none

One of my favourites, the trio are now in Tokyo Japan, Jackie and Yuan, are ICPO agents who are tracking a crime synicate in Tokyo, but Yuan is captured in the beginning in an Amusement park. Jackie therefore calls for reinforcements from his old orphan pal sammo. Sammo is in prison and is set free only to be arrested instantly, and is offered the job, he gathers all of his old friends who are criminals, and they are all set off on a mission with ...
...million hong kong dollars worth of Bonds, and there job is to infiltrate the crime synicate and to help locate their base. overall the movie like always with the trio is filled completely with Slapstick, with some brilliant acting from sammo's gang. A must watch film for all Jackie Chan fans and a great movie for all who are new to the Peking Opera Trio. Filled with original jokes and an original storyline, with ninja's and samurai's. ...

One of the best Kung Fu films around.
Review of Iron Monkey (Platinum Edition) by EdwardChaput

Advantages: Excellent fighting, great story. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Disadvantages: Special effects sometimes a bit over the top

Iron Monkey is a fantastic film which follows the story of the Iron Monkey a Robin Hood type character. Local doctor by day and stopper of wrong do-ers contributing his spoils to the poor by night. The town in which he lives is run by a corrupt governor who exploits the poor. Iron Monkey is unstoppable because of his supreme fighting skills but a man (Donny Yeung) and his arrive in the town and he proves to be Iron Monkey's equal. The man and his ...
...sets a stage for an Iron Monkey, Donny Yeung vs. the rebel Shaoliners show down. The fighting throughout the film is exceptionally good - Iron Monkey and Donny are fantastic together. The little kid is a also a fantastic fighter and he takes up quite a bit of screen time demonstrating his skills. The effects that accompany the fighting are sometimes over the top but it all adds tro the fun of the film. The story is also very enthralling and complex ... Read review
