Sing si lip yan (1993)
City Hunter!!!!
Wow... just wow. This movie had so much ridiculous comedy and action and managed to avoid being cheesy at all! First off...the main character was so awesome and so perfect for jackie that his character alone makes the movie great. This movie was so overwhelmingly hip and easy to get yourself into, that halfway through the movie i turned to my cat and yelled "KITTY HUNTER"! and scared the crap out of her.
The characters were also all really cool and you couldn't help but like them. At first i thought the card throwing dude was cheesy, but soon after i realized how impressively slick and suave he was. The two female agents were both very attractive and very different. Despite few speaking parts their characters were well developed by their actions. The bad guy who worked out in a thong, fought like ken from street fighter, and looked like shawn michaels was really cool and i was disappointed that he didn't get more screen time then he did. The dude that was hitting on jackie's assistant was hilarious. Jackies assistant reminded me too much of his girlfriend from the police story series though, and the rich man's daughter didn't really get too developed or do too much.
The action was excellent and the humor was laugh out-loud funny. I have to highly recommend this film for fans of jackie, action, comedy, and hot Asian chicks.
Hard Target (1993)
Hard Target is the movie...
Hard target is the movie to show all those Van Damme Haters. "Van Damme sux and cant act," my friends always say whenever i bring up one of his movies. Pop hard target into the DVD player and make them eat their words.
How Hard Target has an overall rating of under 6 is astonishing to me. This movie is at least a 6 as a stand alone film, its a 7 for an action flick, and at LEAST an 8 for a Van-Damn film. This movie reminds me of the much-hated, yet mind-numbingly "Hard ass"(just like van damme's character is told he is in the movie Cyborg)film Last man Standing. Both films are GREAT action movies, good stand alone films, with good casting. Both are also hated by most.
Hard Target has more style and sass crammed into it then all 3 MI movies, die hard 2, XXX, and suburban commando combined. If it wasn't for that god forsaken accent then this movie would be #9 right after pulp fiction on the IMDb best 250 movies of all time.
I highly recommend this film. If you like this and are looking for other excellent JCVD films, check out Sudden Death, The quest, Kickboxer, bloodsport, lionheart, and the much more recent wake of death. Last man standing is another goodie that you shouldn't dare to pass up.
