Cast Member: Hwang Jang-Lee

There is a degree of drama in this story of redemption but it’s not constructed with any great care and can hardly make up for the lack of sparkle in the choreography.

Yuen Woo-Ping and his brothers fill the film with stunning ‘drunken’ conflicts and duels.

A movie worth seeing if you need bringing down a peg or two, but not recommended for those with a depressive nature.

‘Dragon’s Claws’ shows the good and bad of independent kung-fu film-maker Joesph Kuo.

No one who claims to be a Hong Kong action cinema fan or a true Chan fan should be without a copy of this movie.

Possibly not for the Bruce Lee purists, but a fantastic old-school flick, which is, another must have.

While ‘Iron Angels’ may not be the best Hong Kong action film from the city’s movie heyday, it’s certainly a benchmark in the battling babes genre.

‘Lackey And The Lady Tiger’ is inoffensive genre fodder that is evidence that Mars is much more than just a stuntman.

Whether she’s using a bull-whip, fighting Hwang Jang Lee or enjoying a momentary pause, Yeoh controls this film with pure class.

Newcomers will enjoy the fight action, the slightly more experienced will also appreciate the comedy and the veteran viewer will be entertained by the great cast.

‘Ninja In The Dragon’s Den’ stands out as a fully-accomplished kung-fu comedy with superb fight action.

The film may be spliced together from three other features, but it somehow manages to find just the right mix of cheese and top-notch action to make it more than watchable.
