  Ghost Punting

  3.0
  Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Horror, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  Mercifully the ghost busting escapades do provide some laughter and come the final run Sammo Hung and Corey Yuen unleash some wicked fight action.

  Everything Under Control

  4.0
  Action, Comedy, Crime  •  Hong Kong

  ‘Everything Under Control’ brings together a few members of popular Cantopop group Mirror and the ever quirky Ivana Wong for a suitably amusing and defiantly odd Hong Kong comedy.

  Kill ‘Em All 2

  2.5
  Action, Crime, Martial Arts, Thriller  •  USA

  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

  2.0
  Action, Comedy, Martial Arts  •  China

  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

  4.0
  Action, Drama, Martial Arts, Thriller  •  Hong Kong

  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

  2.0
  Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Martial Arts  •  China, Hong Kong

  ‘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’.
