If you can ignore some of its minor quirks, ‘Beloved Son of God’ is highly recommended viewing thanks to the wonderful and touching performances from Cheng, Wu Ma and Cheung.

While ‘Crazy Shaolin Disciples’ does have a few merits, I’d have to say that there is far better available elsewhere.

This is probably one of the most acrobatic Venoms films as they participate in some extremely complicated routines that are brilliantly put together.

Chan’s choreography is the only minor highlight, but otherwise this is really only suitable for hardcore Angela Mao fans.

It might not appeal to everyone, especially traditional Shaw Brothers fans, but I’d still say it deserves a place in your collection.

All in all, it’s a solid slice of entertainment that presents a charming if somewhat inaccurate account of Lee’s life.

It is a true genre-defining classic that will go down in Hong Kong cinema history as one of the greats.

‘Kill Bill: Volume 1’ is a great tribute to Asian action cinema that mixes Tarantino’s stylised violence with some top Yuen Woo-Ping choreography.

For those that hate the frequent use of wire-fu (like me), you better look elsewhere as action choreography for this film relies heavily upon its use.

It boasts some top notch fight scenes which are further enhanced by another standout performance from the late great Lo Lieh.

‘The Bodyguard From Beijing’ had the potential to be remembered as a classic action film, but Corey Yuen has failed miserably compared to his other wonderful classics.

‘The Last Blood’ may not be the cream of the crop, but it is a still an incredibly fun action flick. Just be prepared for a sprinkling of Wong Jing silliness along the way.
