Everyone’s unboxing their shiny new 4Ks of Hard Boiled, Peking Opera Blues, and City on Fire… Meanwhile, I’ve got tapes for you. Swarms of them. Including Hard Boiled 2 (naughty, naughty retitle, Eastern Heroes 😆).

Rewatched One-Armed Swordsman from Arrow’s Shawscope Vol. 3. A landmark of Hong Kong cinema, not just for its action, but its heart. A wounded man learns the martial world can destroy as much as it honors. It's carried through pain, grace, and blood, by Wang Yu and Chang Cheh.

Po-Chih Leong’s Hong Kong 1941 finds power in restraint. Less spectacle, more humanity, friendship, loyalty, survival under siege. Chow Yun-Fat’s quiet, magnetic charisma and Leong’s realism turn this modest wartime drama into one of the 80s’ most affecting Hong Kong films.

Ringo Lam’s The Adventurers, filmed on a global scale, plays like a warm-up for Hollywood: big scope, little to no soul. A messy shoot, rewrites, and delays didn’t help, but the problem runs deeper. Lam’s realism flickers early, then fades. He got better when he came home again.

Happy to support re-issues like this one from Eureka, even if my old VCD viewing already told me this was minor stuff. SHAOLIN BOXERS is a brisk 78-min Golden Harvest pickup. Competent, occasionally lively, but pure filler from the post-Bruce Lee product era.

Reviewing the first half of Eureka’s Exact Revenge set, The Eunuch comes from a fresh voice in Teddy Yip, delivering sharp revenge beats and fierce swordplay. Pai Ying, in Dragon Inn reprisal mode, doesn’t disappoint. A lean, confident slice of early-70s Shaw wuxia.

Tsui Hark’s Knock Off getting an American release, with most of the 88 Films extras, but with added and much longer writer-interview. Likely only topic covered is how Michael Wong saved the movie.

What if there was a Dean Shek movie where you didn’t want to throttle him, where you actually rooted for him as a battle-scarred hero? That’s The Raid (1991), from Tsui Hark & Ching Siu-tung.
Hear why Shek is the right fit as Uncle Choi in the latest episode of Podcast On Fire.
