| RRP A group of five embark on a tour of Asia. During their first city stop they cruise through the traditional night market where they come upon a meat vendor who is apparently preparing to butcher a dog. Shocked and upset by this sight they move on to a local watering hole to forget about it. At the bar Mike and Darren play pool while Emily catches the eye of Miles a handsome Asian man sitting by himself and invites him to join their party. Mike accidentally spills his drink on a Triad Boss with his henchmen in tow. Mike is pinned up against the bar and the tension escalates! Miles defuses the situation as he apologizes to the Boss and persuades the tourists to move on as quickly as possible. They stumble upon an adult theater. Just as they are about to enter the theater Miles catches up and strongly discourages them against entering. Unknowingly the Triad Boss and his gang have followed them to the theater. Here the sadistic Boss entertains his fetish for voyeurism and human flesh with 'live feed' images from the VIP rooms and 'long pig' served up by his personal chef who we recognize as the Butcher from the Night Market. Mike and Sarah Linda Darren and Emily become prey to the Boss and his vicious thugs. Graphic and gruesome action packed scenes play out as the five tourists and Miles fight for their lives against the Boss and his executioners. Before the night is over few will survive and a shocking twist will leave you in disbelief.

| RRP Masterful Hong Kong action director John Woo (The Killer Face/Off) turns in this exciting and pyrotechnic tale of warring gangsters and shifting loyalties.

A stunning feast of hyperbolic action sequences (including a climactic sequence in an entire hospital taken hostage) Hard Boiled is a rare treat for fans of the action genre with sequences as thrilling and intense as any ever committed to film.

A Man Called Hero | DVD | (21/05/2001)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP An example of Hong Kong action cinema at its most mainstream, A Man Called Hero owes perhaps more to the films of Steven Segal than it does those of John Woo. The tale of a mythical hero who borders on the status of superhero, the film is stripped of any potential credibility by some of the most appalling dubbing ever seen at the cinema. While the original Chinese cast may inject the movie with passion, their American voice-over replacements obviously never made it past the sincere section of acting class. Each line is delivered with such false earnestness that the film sounds like a cross between Days of Our Lives and an episode of Pokémon. No cinematic cliché is left untouched, suggesting that this is not just a case of something lost in the translation but just a bad film... in anybody's language. The world-wide success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has proved that there is a huge market for original Eastern cinema, even more reason to avoid the pointless rehashing of the worst of Hollywood that A Man Called Hero undoubtedly is. --Phil Udell

Bart maintains his stranglehold through his unwitting enforcer Danny (Jet Li) who he has 'raised' since boyhood. Danny has been kept as a near-prisoner: trained to attack and if necessary kill. Danny knows little of life except the brutal existence that Bart has so cruelly fashioned for him. However when Danny has a chance encounter with the sightless piano tuner Sam (Morgan Freeman) he senses true kindness and compassion for the first time and experiences the transforming power of music. When a sudden gangland coup separates Danny from Bart and the gang Danny escapes the underworld. Taking refuge with Sam and his stepdaughter Victoria (Kerry Condon) Danny finds a family of sorts and a future... However the mob will not give up their prize asset so easily and Danny must soon call upon his skills once more to protect his family and bury his past. (Dir.

However in attempting to extort money from the hairdresser Sing unwittingly exposes the plump landlady her hen-pecked husband the camp tailor and rugged coolie as martial arts masters in hiding. Coming to the attention of the Axe gang who want to clear out the apartments Sing's actions have set off a relentless chain of events that brings the clans together in an explosive battle!

Bloodsport / Enter The Dragon | DVD | (08/09/2003)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP A well-oiled Jean-Claude Van Damme makes his starring debut in what may be one of the few kickboxing films to be based on a true story. The Muscles from Brussels plays Frank Dux, the first Westerner ever to win the extreme "whupfest" known as the Kumatai (a long-running, no-holds-barred fighting tournament in Hong Kong). While a bit deficient in the script department (to say the least), this undeniably exciting flick succeeds by letting Van Damme play to his strengths: namely, minimal acting and a lot of impossibly acrobatic splits while kicking people in the head. Bloodsport is a guilty-pleasure testosterone blast of the highest order, with a memorable villain (the massive Bolo Yeung from Enter the Dragon) and a multitude of well-choreographed fight scenes. An embarrassed-looking Forest Whitaker cameos as a hapless (and non-kickboxing) cop. --Andrew Wright

Jackie Chan - Project A | DVD | (13/06/2005)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP For people who've discovered Jackie Chan through his international hit Rush Hour and want to learn what his Hong Kong movies are like, Project A is an excellent place to start. Chan plays a sailor in 19th-century Hong Kong; pirates have been terrorizing the seas for months, and all efforts to combat them have been sabotaged by the corrupt chief of police and a criminal gang, who are in cahoots with the pirates. But the plot is hardly the point--a Jackie Chan movie is about astonishingly acrobatic action sequences and breathtaking stunts, and Project A has plenty. Of particular interest is a bicycle chase that is more suspenseful than any car chase you've ever seen. Chan is joined by Sammo Hung as a shifty con man who comes through when the chips are down. Project A also features Yuen Biao, a frequent costar in Chan's movies, who's yet another astounding martial artist. But what separates Jackie Chan movies from other kung fu flicks is his sense of humor; every fight scene is punctuated by something--a clever use of a prop or sudden reversal of your expectations--that will make you bark with laughter. Sometimes it's just so exquisitely choreographed that the entire movie seems to float on a cloud of giddy delight. Jackie Chan is often compared to the classic silent comedians for his grace and timing--he lives up to it. --Bret Fetzer

Kung Fu Hustle | UMD | (03/10/2005)
from £N/A
| Saving you £N/A (N/A%)
| RRP Movie-kinetics genius. Kung Fu Hustle takes the gleeful mayhem of Hong Kong action movies, the deadpan physical humor of silent comedies, and the sheer elasticity of Wile E. Coyote cartoons and fuses them into a spectacle that is simple in its joys and mind-boggling in its orchestration. A run-down slum has been poor but peaceful until a bunch of black-suited gangsters called the Axe Gang show up to cause trouble --and discover that, hidden among the humble poor, are three kung fu masters trying to live an ordinary life. But after these martial artists repulse the gang with their flying fists and feet, the gang leader hires a pair of assassins, whose arrival leads to the unveiling of more secrets, until both the screen and the audience are dizzy with hyperbolic fight artistry (choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping, who also choreographed MThe Matrix). Weaving through this escalating fury is a loudmouthed loser (writer/director/actor Stephen Chow) who suddenly finds himself having to live up to his bragging. Kung Fu Hustle more than lives up to the promise of Chow's previous film, Shaolin Soccer -- it's a movie made by an imagination unfettered by the laws of physics. Hugely entertaining. --Bret Fetzer
