Cast Member: Carina Lau

A zippy, expertly performed romantic comedy with an abundance of style and quality, ‘La Brassiere’ is a pleasant surprise.

Entertaining in parts with a game cast on good form but frustratingly uneven and unsatisfying a film as a whole, ‘Let the Bullets Fly’ lays on the political subtext but forgets to have fun with it.

If nothing else, this film goes to show how a lack of good material can sometimes be covered over by an excellent cast.

‘Naughty Boys’ should only be viewed for one reason – the action. All other aspects of the film fall flat on their face.

‘Now You See Love… Now You Don’t’ is engrossing and eventually quite touching.

It was impossible to match the original classic, but Chan pulled out all of the stops to make sure he gave it his best.

Not the best example of heroic bloodshed from the golden age but an entertaining footnote in the careers of heavy hitters Chow Yun-Fat and Andy Lau, and certainly worth checking out for completists.

‘Rose, Rose I Love You’ is less of a straight lampoon of 60s Hong Kong cinema and more of a genuine attempt to harness the spiritedness of the original.

With a startling visual style and innovative action aplenty, ‘Saviour Of The Soul’ ranks among the very best of the Hong Kong fantasy genre.

A simple and fast moving story about a tough female cops, is told with style, if not great direction, by Yuen Kwai.

‘Carry on Wuxia’ it may be, but in execution and energy ‘The Eagle Shooting Heroes’ is the most polished in-joke ever made.

‘Tragic Hero’ goes harder than its predecessor, jettisoning much of the overwrought drama and focusing on revenge mayhem and improved action.
