This is why you will watch it..
Advantages: Very Captivating Disadvantages: Hero dies
This movie is a masterpiece.
If you have fascination with the eastern arts, there is a lot of things in this movie that will be interesting to you. Its as if the director wanted you to experience the life of warriors. As opposed to kung fu movies where one guy has a quest and goes and kicks everyone's ass, this one is quite different. This movie has a very wide plot. Rivalry between two old generation warriors encompasses all the secondary stories ... ...other appended incidents. Very beautifully written script and perfect settings for such a tale. The one thing which by far stands out is the cinematography. You are going to be amazed. Its not very techno, when it comes to image capturing, like the matrix, but its the fully captured scene which communicates the values of what perhaps the Eastern cultures hold on to as a proud history that sets this movie apart. Because the way the characters speak ...

Nice action,martial arts movie.
Advantages: Excellent fight sequences. Disadvantages: weak storyline.
About the movie:No retreat no surrender is a martial arts movie directed by Corey Yuen.This movie is also known as Karate Tiger.
Plot:Jason StillwellUKurt Mckinney) is a young Karate student who trains in his father's Los Angeles dojo. One night after training has finished, the dojo is visited by members of an organised crime syndicate. Jason's father is attacked and has his leg broken by Ivan Krushensky(Jean Claude Van Damme), the hired thug of ... ...good as his character has no dialogue throughout movie.Just a sentence he utters at the last action scene "I am the best".This was my second movie where I saw Jean Claude doing a negative role.The first one was "Black Eagle".Jason Stillwell is a good fighter.He is the main character in the movie and I think his performance is good enough for a martial arts movie.
I recommend this movie and if you like martial arts movies then its worth watch. ...

A MARTIAL ARTS EPIC AND A TRUE CLASSIC
Advantages: - Disadvantages: -

******************************************* *********
Hero has to go down as one of the best films ever made, if just for the Cinematography alone. It is visually spectacular and the use of colour is amazing. I really love these eastern martial art epics but i can assure you even if YOU don't you will still love Hero.
It stars Jet Li as a nameless warrior brought before the king to explain how he defeated the 3 most feared assasins in the ... ...Flying Daggers which was made after Hero, but Hero stands head and shoulders above them both.
10/10 Summary: An martial arts epic, that will have even not martail art fans begging for more!!

Lone Wolf and Cub kick some serious butt
Advantages: a decent samurai movie Disadvantages: dubbing, sound quality in parts as well as picture quality
This is a classic old school samurai film. This film was previously banned in this country for it's violent graphic nature, but nowadays I guess we are made of sterner stuff. If you are easily distressed then this moive is not for you. There are very explicit scenes of swords being buried into heads, heads splitting in half, and more blood gushing than you can shake a stick at.
The film centres around Ogami Itto, who is played by Tomisaburo Wakayama ... ...to be referred to has Lone wolf and Cub. Itto is the shoguns chief executioner and a powerful man. So much so that lord Retsudo soon wants him dead out of sheer fear. In the initial attack Itto's wife is slain, and Itto decides to dedicate his life to taking the life of lord Retsudo and all those close to him, {one way of getting rid of the existential angst i guess} In a scene at this point he places a ball on the floor and a sword and he makes ...
