Few things better than a training scene in a kung fu flick and Lau Kar-leung was one of the very best and MAD MONKEY KUNG FU highlighted what made him such a special director. Hsiao Ho may be one of the most physically gifted performers ever and this gives him a chance to shine!

FIVE ELEMENT NINJA has everything I love about Shaw Brothers in one movie. Colorful characters, costumes, crazy weapons, that red paint for blood and acrobatic high octane martial arts action choreography. Pure unadulterated cinema!!

Corey Yuen couldn’t help but make everyone he worked with look better than ever!! NINJA IN THE DRAGONS DEN gives us some of the best Hiroyuki Sanada martial arts action committed to film!

PRISONER OF WAR remains one of the best action movies of the year of any budget. Compelling characters, interesting story, hard hitting martial arts and action scenes elevated by an amazing score. An absolute must watch!
