Cast Member: Kara Hui
-
Stage Door Johnny
Jun 1, 2015Despite never straying towards originality and unlikely to win awards, there’s still an admirable mixture of action and drama to commend.
-
The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter
Mar 10, 2015Multi-layered and superbly made, ‘The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter’ remains one of the greatest martial arts movies of all time.
-
The Brave Archer
Feb 26, 2015Unfortunately ‘The Brave Archer’ is one of Chang Cheh’s least assured efforts as he foolishly tries to fit in all of the sub-plots and characters of this vast novel.
-
The Dream Of The Red Chamber
Mar 9, 2015Unfortunately, the film itself falls far short the sum of its dazzling parts, with a central love story too lightweight to sustain either the bulk of the plot or the grand tragedy of the climax.
-
The Inspector Wears Skirts
Mar 29, 2015Although it’s not a laugh a minute showcase, it does feature some watchable routines and it is certainly good to see stars such as Sandra Ng and Anne Bridgewater in early roles.
-
The Inspector Wears Skirts II
Mar 29, 2015Those who have difficulty sitting through long sequences of Hong Kong slapstick would be best advised to avoid this film as the main concentration of Wellson Chin is comedy and the usual antics of his stars.
-
The Lady Is The Boss
Feb 6, 2018Often unfairly nudged aside when the career of kung-fu auteur Liu Chia-Liang is considered, ‘The Lady is the Boss’ is a fun action comedy that came near the end of the Shaw Brothers’ hegemony in Hong Kong.
-
The Return Of Pom Pom
May 17, 2015As with all of the ‘Pom Pom’ films, the emphasis is on comedy and specifically the interplay between Shum and Ng.
-
The Tai Chi Master
Jun 8, 2015The wonderfully choreographed, filmed and performed kung fu from a large and talented cast is the reason to watch this movie and for this it is highly recommended.
-
The Tigress Of Shaolin
Sep 1, 2019Despite having all of the benefits of being made under the Shaw Brothers’ banner – solid production values and a notable cast – this is insipid film-making.
-
Visible Secret
Jun 22, 2015Indebted to ‘The Sixth Sense’ it may be, but ‘Visible Secret’ eschews the surreal shocks of current Japanese and Korean horror cinema.
-
Why Me?
Jun 27, 2015Kent Cheng gives the best performance of his career in a role that always manages to avoid histrionics.
