The Battle At Lake Changjin
Certainly not subtle but if you can forgive its flaws and instead bask in its blockbuster credentials, then ‘The Battle At Lake Changjin’ delivers some spectacular war movie action.

Shaolin And Wu Tang
There are some plot holes that become apparent as the film continues, but good quality action and a fine cast cover a multitude of sins.

-
A Massacre Survivor
‘A Massacre Survivor’ features an always watchable Shih Szu as the heroine. Unfortunately, she’s one of the few characters to get much polish.
