Release Year: 1989

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

While it is undoubtedly just a filler footnote in the ‘Dragon Ball Z’ universe, ‘Dead Zone’ still makes for an enjoyable watch that is likely to please fans of the franchise.

The film suffers from inconsistent pacing with a good opening, a relatively slow middle section and an excellent climax – featuring some blistering fight action.

‘Eight Taels Of Gold’ rewards those not looking for emotional fireworks or melodramatic denouements.

‘Gift From Heaven’ is a low-key comedy, but a very watchable 90 minutes.

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

You really feel a lot of the hits in this film which is all in all, a hugely enjoyable action flick, jam-packed with trademark Woo Ping fight scenes, thankfully sans wires!

Another superbly constructed piece of cinema that really captures the imagination and warms the heart.

Jackie openly admits that this film was intended to answer the critics who saw him as just an action star/director. What an answer it proved to be!

Thrown together rather than constructed, this is a production where the director has little idea how to generate organic laughs from situations and must therefore shoe-horn them in.

Kent Cheng shows that he was a fine character actor and a capable enough director to make this rise above its modest potential.

The final reel is raw power and energy as Sammo takes on a small army of goons before meeting his match in Billy Chow.
