Kill ‘Em All 2
The original ‘Kill ‘Em All’ was no great shakes, and this belated sequel only slightly improves on the first film thanks to some nice location work and a modicum of half decent action.
-
Panda Plan
The fight action is apologetic, the comedy forced and the complete package a grave disservice to the young audience it was obviously intended for.
-
Black Cat II
While the original was essentially a remake of Luc Besson’s ‘La Femme Nikita’, ‘Black Cat II’ is more a straightforward action flick, with a little bit of ‘Terminator’ thrown in.
-
A Legend
‘A Legend’ was a sequel nobody asked for, a follow-up to the woeful ‘Kung Fu Yoga’ which I only now realise was intended as a sequel to ‘The Myth’.
-
Black Cat
Jade Leung’s impressively committed performance and the always dependable Simon Yam elevate the low budget nature of the flick making it an entertaining romp.
-
Tai Chi Chun
There are some excellent action scenes here and though the choreography gets a little too familiar, it does throw in a few unusual moves.
