Any fan of wuxia films MUST see ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’. I can not give a higher recommendation for this veritable classic.

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

This is truly a masterpiece of the genre with Chan, who was approaching his 40th birthday at the time, on astounding form.

Although it isn’t quite as good as the original, ‘Fight Back To School 2’ is still a solid sequel that contains some classic moments of hilarity.

‘I Love Maria’ offers a very good 100 minutes of entertainment for those who are looking for something new within Hong Kong cinema.

Hark combines a well-paced and beautifully photographed narrative with strong characters and exciting fight action.

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

A simple and fast moving story about a tough female cops, is told with style, if not great direction, by Yuen Kwai.

It’s no surprise that this Tsui Hark comedy was a box-office smash as it allows the viewer to enjoy superior character interaction and sharp comic routines.

In what could be described as a mixture of Indiana Jones and well-known Hong Kong film traits, ‘The Raid’ is a very entertaining 100 minutes of action/comedy.

Crazy cult classic that lives up to its mad-as-a-bag-of-frogs rep, ‘The Seventh Curse’ is some delicious Hong Kong Category III madness.

Although ‘Time 4 Hope’ is certainly a solid film that remains watchable, it is memorable for its wasted potential rather than anything else.
