  The Heroic Trio

  4.0
  Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Sci-Fi  •  Hong Kong

  Don’t think about it too much, just go along for the ride and bask in the beauty and talent of the incredible action scenes and the trio of leading ladies.

  Two Jolly Cops

  1.5
  Action, Comedy  •  Hong Kong

  ‘Two Jolly Cops’ starts with a modest spark, but pours a bucket of water on this immediately; what follows is ninety minutes of utter boredom.

  Ode To Gallantry

  3.5
  Action, Comedy, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  Perhaps not what one might be expecting from all those involved but nevertheless ‘Ode to Gallantry’ is another solid Cheh flick buoyed by a fantastic lead performance from Philip Kwok.

  In Between Loves

  2.0
  Comedy, Crime, Thriller  •  Hong Kong

  A partial remake of ‘Eyewitness’, the flawed, but diverting 1981 William Hurt/Sigourney Weaver thriller, ‘In Between Loves’ starts with promise only to quickly lose it all.

  Shaolin Boxers

  3.5
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  Frivolous of plot it may be but director Huang Ta makes up for the lack of narrative meat by stuffing the film with superb fight action.

  Crazy Nuts Of Kung Fu

  3.0
  Action, Comedy, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  The finale offers a solid conclusion to a production that has promise but never quite delivers on it – ‘Crazy Nuts of Kung Fu’ is never really the kung-fu buddy film you hope it will be.
