When one of the first lines in the film is “if anything goes wrong this could be the next Titanic” you know you’re in for the next Titanic… Whether thats a disaster within the film, or the disaster of a film, depends entirely on your penchant for the genre and gloriously over the top productions which feature an international cast hamming it up in 70s disaster movie fashion!

King of Triads (Aka Bad Blood) would have you believe that police in Hong Kong would gladly put their guns aside to fight with criminals who possess mad fighting skills. In fact, it would appear that everyone in writer/director Dennis King’s fantastic world would rather fight to the death with any weapon but a gun. There also seems to be an unspoken code of honor that specifies large groups of fighters can never overpower a smaller group. One against 20 sounds insurmountable unless, as in Triad world, you’ve got an angry, stick-wielding mob with manners.
What exactly is going on in the mind of Thug #12 as he waits patiently in a corner while his peers are being beaten to a bloody pulp? Maybe he’s thinking that he needs...

Director: Herman Yau. Review: Adam Wing. You can’t have enough of a good thing, can you? The success of Donnie Yen’s Ip Man not only gave birth to a successful sequel, it also walks hand in hand with this entertaining prequel - The Legend Is Born: Ip Man. Herman Yau’s film is an old school addition that deals with the younger-day exploits of the Wing Chun grandmaster. Yau takes the helm and some of the original cast members return in new roles. The legendary Sammo Hung appears all too briefly in the opening act, and after playing minor parts in the original films, To is asked to take over as the young protagonist. The screen positively ignites when old friend Yuen Biao joins Sammo, and newcomers Huang Yi, Bernice Liu, Rose Chan, Xu Jiao and Lam Suet more than make up the numbers. Not only that, in...

Given the huge success of “Ip Man”, it was inevitable that audiences would soon be hit not only by an official sequel, but by all manner of spinoffs. And so, fast on the heels of “Ip Man 2” comes “The Legend is Born – Ip Man”, a prequel charting the early years of the Wing Chun grandmaster to be. Thankfully, the reins were handed to Herman Yau, surely one of Hong Kong’s best and most underappreciated directors, known for consistently churning out works of quality. Although the idea of an Ip Man film without the inimitable Donnie Yen may be cause for concern, stepping into his shoes is the talented To Yue Hong, the youngest ever martial arts champion from Hong Kong. Backing him are a returning Sammo Hung and Fan Siu Wong, along with franchise newcomers Yuen Biao, Huang Yi, Bernice Liu, Rose Chan, Xu Jiao, and the ever reliable Lam Suet.

Property developer turned film maker Dennis Law continues his onslaught on Hong Kong cinemas with another genre outing in “Bad Blood”. As with his former outing “Fatal Move”, the triad thriller sees him working with acclaimed cinematographer Herman Yau and action choreographer Li Chung Chi, and reunites him with cast members and industry veterans Simon Yam, Eddie Cheung, Pinky Cheung, and Lam Suet.

When a triad boss is executed by Mainland authorities for attempting to smuggle counterfeiting copperplates into Hong Kong, his triad society is thrown into disarray. His vast fortune is left to his two adult children, Audrey (Bernice Liu) and Jason (Lai Lok Yi), but his triad brothers, especially Funky (Simon Yam), insist the money belongs to the gang. Meanwhile, Calf (Andy On), the facially scarred son of a prostitute, is plotting his own revenge against the gang, together with his mute protégé, Dumby (Jiang Lu Xia from Coweb). But even as the different parties begin to put their deadly plans into effect, all is not what is seems and not everybody is who they appear to be.
