Mahjong Dragon - Chiu Man Cheuk, Kenneth Lo
1/5

Worthless movie about ugly people and gambling. Cheuk looks good, and so does Ken Lo, but there is hardly any action whatsoever. Cheuk does some good looking slapping moves in the beginning for a moment, and at the very end he fights Ken Lo in a fruit shop on top of boxes. Ken Lo, to me, had a more powerful performance because his character was more interesting than the love-happy Cheuk, but they both fought well, despite the rediculous camerawork. But it's visible nonetheless. Lo also has a double at one point but it's probably a height issue. Don't get this for the action.



Martial Arts Master Wong Fei Hung - AKA Great Hero from China - Chin Kar Lok, Lam Ching Ying
4/5

A very fun movie where Chin Kar Lok does a bunch of acrobatics (as well as his occasional double) during the fights, which range from silly to cool to intense. The choreography is fun, as well as Kar Lok who plays Fei Hung. Lam Ching Ying really doesn't fight well until the end when it gets interesting, which is the best fight in the movie. Good quality production along the lines of Heroes Among Heroes.



Master (The) - Jet Li, Yuen Wah, an American
4/5

Many critisize this as a campy joke by Tsui Hark. Forget them. Jet puts on a pure performance, and Wah gets a couple fights. All of the fights center around one young American guy who can fight fairly well (though not too fast) and his martial arts students, which makes it less interesting. Last fight isn't too bad though as Jet does some cool kicks and maneuvers as they fight in an operations room on top of a skyscraper. But the Master is Wah, who plays Fei Hung (I think...), so Jet is more of a student in this movie. Good addition to a Jet Li collection, though it is corny.



Millionaire's Express - Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, Dick Wei, tons of others
4/5

With a cast the size of Hollywood, I expected this to be much better than it was. Lots of action, but it's not all good. Dick Wei and Biao have a good fight, and Sammo looks good against Biao at one point, but other than that there isn't too much memorable. Just lots of slightly above average action, including Cynthia Rothrock with stuffed pants, I think. Good for quantity.



Mr. Nice Guy - Jackie Chan
2/5

Definitely a low point in Jackie's career. Sammo directed this one and it ain't good. Jackie does some good stuntwork at the end, but there are basically no good fights at all. The one good fight was removed I guess. Only get it if you're a Jackie nut or you wanna see some stuntwork involving a big truck. Richard Norton does nothing except punch Jackie when he's tied up.



My Father is a Hero (The Enforcer) - Jet Li, Tze Miu, Yu Rong Guang, Ken Lo, Ngai Sing
3/5

Such a great cast and yet this movie isn't so great. Mostly a wirework film set in modern day, with good sets nonetheless. Guang is sinister and weird, which I liked, but Sing and Lo don't do anything until the end whey they have an undercranked kick fest with Jet and have their legs held up by wires. Tze Miu (the 12 year old kid) is good, indeed. I can't wait to see what he turns into. But here he's on wires and looks like an idiot. The finale is bad, except for when Guang starts it off with some good kicks. There's also some good choreography toward the middle where Jet does very fast punches with Guang, for 22 seconds. Popular movie, good characters, but the action is only decent.
