Xiao zi ming da (1979)
Nice kung fu but not the classic I expected.
There is not much of an story. Only the usealy kung fu revenge plot, and, also quite common for these kind of movies very thin, characters. But what's even worse, there is a lot of very dumb and simple "humour" in the first hour of the film. After the first hour however the movie gets beter quikly! The last 30 minutes are just great fightscenes which make up for the disapointing first hour. And an absolute highpoint is ofcourse the last ficht in which Shao Long and Shao Ling team up to fight the contractkiller who killed Shao Long's father, this fight is staged in an old barn and reminded me a bit to the last fight in Once upon a time in China ! Only for kung fu fanatics I think.
Zombi Holocaust (1980)
Great fun!
OK, I saw some negative comments on this one so I had to made my own comment.
First of all, serious horror lovers don't have to read any further, go and watch Scream or something like that.
But everyone who liked movies as Zombie flesheaters, cannibal ferox or Burial ground should go and buy/rent this one as well! It's maybee not as strong as zombie fleseaters or cannibal ferox but it's a great laugh! With enough gore to keep you sattisfied. Also with some great actors (in this genre!) like Ian McCulloch and Peter O'Neal.
All the zombie and cannibal cliches you need!
Bak fat moh lui zyun (1993)
Great Hong Kong movie making!
The Bride with white hair is one of the best movies to come out of Hong Kong. The movie packed with great shots, lightning costumes and sets. Ofcourse you can tell the budget wasn't as high as you're average Hollywood movie but that only adds to this movies charm. There is enough story and good acting to please the mainstream audience and enough action and speed to satisfy the kung fu and action fans. Actualy I think you compare this one with the great Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!!! If you liked that one be sure to check this one out to. Ofcourse don't watch the dubbed print, go for the original one and won't be disapointed. There is also a sequel.
Siu Tai Gik (1984)
A bad Drunken Master ripp-off.
I loved Woo-ping's and Jackie Chan's Drunken Master, packed with some of the best fighting (especialy the drunken boxing) you will ever see on film. The only thing I didn't liked about that movie was the strange and simple humour. Well... Drunken Tai Chi is full of that! Stupid slapstick complete with the stupid sound effects that go along with that. Ok, there are some great fight scenes. Donnie Yen is one of the best kickers! But there is too many unapealing slapstick. And you will never forget the image of Donnie Yen dressed like a puppet BREAKDANCING!
And now for the biggest disapointment... THERE IS NO DRUNKEN BOXING! It's about a tai chi master that is drunk most of the time. If you want to see some drunken boxing see Drunken Master, Drunken Master 2!!! or even Jet Li's Last hero in China!
Devil's Prey (2001)
Complete waste of time and money!
I don't know why people actually liked this movie just for a bit? Maybe because of the big breasted teens? There is NO plot, almost nothing is happening and it drags on and on. I'm a big B-movie fan and I don't care if the acting or the fx are bad (sometimes it makes movies even more fun!) but nothing is happening in this movie. So AVOID this one! I warned you!
Mi ni te gong dui (1983)
One of the most entertaining Hong Kong movie ever made!
If you say this movie is horrible you obviously have absolute no sense of humor or you were expecting an Rumble in the Bronx kind of Jackie Chan movie, by all means this isn't! It's far more entertaining, it has everything a B-movie needs! There is a lot of action, adventure, kung fu an humor (humor soooo stupid that it becomes funy!). Jackie Chan only shows up to kick some amazon and nazi ass, and that's good so he can't spoil the fun!
If you want a nice evening with your friends, go see this one along with say Mr. Vampire! You have a fun night... guaranteed!!!
Jung wa ying hong (1999)
Not what I expected, but a great drama/action though.
Like most of the people I expected a wild action packed special effects loaded movie, well it isn't. But I'm not disappointed like all the others who wrote a comment here. It has more story than the average Hong Kong movie and the acting is also of a high standard. I agree that it could use some more action scenes, but the few action scenes look totally great! I don't know if it is historically correct (I don't think so) but what movies are?
If you want to see a good Hong Kong movie without the cheesy humor most of them have but with great acting and a nice story then give this one a try. It's not for all you kung fu action freaks although I think I'm one myself:)
Night of the Creeps (1986)
Nice college horror, reminds me of the Faculty!
Ok, it's not a fantastic movie but I enjoyed it though. I had seen this one when I was very young and I thought it was great then, and if yu watch a movie that impressed you as a kid it let's you down almost every time, but this one is actually very nice even now. I like the 80's college parts! And overal I had to think about the Faculty a lot! Some fx are pretty good and some are mediocre! If you're looking for a light horror with some college humor just give it a try!
Werewolf: Pilot (1987)
Boring!!!
I can remember only one good werewolf movie and that is An American Werewolf in London, all the other I have seen are all c**p. So is this one, it is so boring! Almost nothing happens and when something happens it's shown very brief. There is no tension whatever and the acting is very bad, it has a soap look! Avoid!!!
Frankenstein 2000 - Ritorno dalla morte (1992)
Extremely boring, avoid!
This movie is really boring, the most low budget B-horrormovies are pretty ok because there is something to laugh about, but in this movie nothing happens until after one hour or so!!
And just when you think the gore starts another disappointment kicks in, almost no gore! So why bother to watch? Only for hardcore collectors i think!
Lik wong (1991)
Great !!!! kicks every hollywood fighting movie ass!!!
We'll I didn't pay attention when I got hold of this one in the videostore, because when I got home I saw it wasn't subtitled!
But I watched it anyway, and I didn't understand a word but it was great!!! It's so over the top !!! The fx are very cheesy but great in their own kind of way!! I need to get this one dubbed or subtitled! If someone know movies similar to this one PLEASE E-MAIL ME the title!!
Zombie '90: Extreme Pestilence (1991)
Extreme low budget zombie gore.
Well, when I ordered this one I knew it was low budget, but I have never seen a movie like this. The quality is that of a normal home video. The English dubbing is terribly funny, I think the people that did it just made up some extra lines for fun! The effects are very gore and hilarious. The acting is so bad it's funny ! Just keep in mind that it is a very low budget zombie film and have a few laughs !
The Dead Next Door (1989)
Cool zombie film with good makeup and fx!
This one is pretty entertaining, there is almost no story but who needs a story in zombie movie. The fx and makeup are good, there is enough gore, lots of zombies, so what more do you want?
In the movie some people are watching Evil dead and a leader of a zombiesqaud is called Raimi, not very subtile is it.?) And on a wall on the background it says: Romero King. I wonder what inspired them to make this movie ? :)
Good brainless fun, horror/gore fans should watch it.
Le Cinquième Élément (1997)
An entertaining SFX sci-fi action comedy.
This is a very nice entertaining sci-fi movie, nothing more and nothing less. It has a lot of special effects, action and it's not so serious ( I think most people were expecting a serious movie I think ). I know the story is a bit thin, but it isn't irritating. This movie would appeal to non sci-fi fans to. I like the shootout on the cruise/spaceship, it's really over the top.
Day of the Dead (1985)
Very dark and hopeless moods in this Zombie cult movie!
Ok, the other two are better, what does't mean this one is crap. It has a very dark and hopeless mood, that's really done very well. It also looks very low budget, except for the very good and gory effects, and the music is terrible in my opinion. That it looks low budget isn't a bad thing either, this movies work best this way, could you imagine a zombie/splatter movie with top hollywood production quality, I don't think so. I gave it 8 out of 10 !
