Without a doubt, ‘A Kid From Tibet’ is a hugely enjoyable action comedy that is the perfect showcase for the multi-talented Yuen Biao.

It is a film that deserves to be watched by fans of all genres though and, alongside classics like ‘Come Drink With Me’, acts as a perfect portfolio for the late, great King Hu.

Chow Sing-Chi completists may want to seek it out, but everyone else should divert their attention to his many more accomplished films.

What puts it slightly above most is the charisma of a youthful Van Damme coupled with some decent action.

Jacob Cheung’s celebrated drama is that magical juxtaposition of gritty social commentary and absorbing character study that many lesser directors aspire to replicate.

Comic maestro Michael Hui scores a resounding hit with this fast-paced combination of mirth and mystery.

Chan and Hung continue to substantiate their legendary status in the cinematic hall of fame, but it is Yuen Biao who really steals the film.

‘Enter the Fat Dragon’ is a warm homage to the man who popularised martial arts cinema around the world.

The brief scenes that actually feature Lee’s original ‘Game Of Death’ footage only help to condemn the rest of this shambolic mess.

Possibly not for the Bruce Lee purists, but a fantastic old-school flick, which is, another must have.

As an introduction to the Hui brothers or Hong Kong comedy in general, this is a fine starting point.

Ultimately, it is Joe Don Baker that makes ‘Golden Needles’ worth tracking down; it’s by no means his best work, but he’s always great to watch.
