Fantasy Mission Force
Mar 11, 2015‘Fantasy Mission Force’ is a ridiculous film, but if you think you’ve seen every curio that Eastern cinema has to offer, this is worth watching.
-
Island Of Fire
Mar 30, 2015For a low budget, rushed production, the emotional content of the film and the quality of its cast save the day providing us with a kung fu influenced ‘Shawshank Redemption’ wannabe.
-
Master Of The Flying Guillotine
Apr 21, 2015It’s hard not to be drawn into director Wang Yu’s eccentric world with its almost Python-esque techniques and fights.
-
One Armed Swordsman Against Nine Killers
May 9, 2015A few moments of Wang Yu madness creep into the film to enliven things, but this is mostly a hard slog to get through.
-
One-Armed Boxer
May 29, 2021‘One-Armed Boxer’, while a little rough around the edges, has lost none of its crazy energy and still packs an almighty bloody punch with its almost non-stop 90 minutes of martial arts fight action.

One-Armed Swordsman
May 7, 2015Without any argument, ‘One-Armed Swordsman’ is therefore a quality swordplay film that has much to offer to viewers today.

Jun 9, 2015At the end of the day, ‘Temple Of The Red Lotus’ works as more of a historical artefact than a genuinely exciting swordplay feature.
-
The Chinese Boxer
Feb 28, 2015Although dated, ‘The Chinese Boxer’ is historically fascinating and provides an interesting point of reference to the many films that would follow.
-
The Guillotines
Mar 21, 2015While certainly mounted on a sometimes epic scale and beautifully shot, Lau’s film disappoints due to rushed character motivations, unconvincing drama and an excessive use of slow motion.
-
The Magnificent Trio
Apr 19, 2015With a director of considerable merit, a cast of fine performers and action that, while not exactly trail-blazing, is certainly very watchable, ‘The Magnificent Trio’ is another good release from Celestial.
-
The Sword And The Lute
Jun 6, 2015If you enjoyed the previous two films or perhaps have an affinity for the more old fashioned Shaw Brothers movies, then you’ll no doubt find something to appreciate in ‘The Sword And The Lute’.
-
The Trail Of The Broken Blade
Jun 16, 2015A four-star movie that, due to its heavy-handed closing shots, loses half a star; the same idea was used with much more sophistication at the end of ‘Anonymous Heroes’.
