Genre: Martial Arts

The choreography is refreshing and innovative though the storyline is badly developed and cannot fall back on well-written characters.

Yuen Woo Ping weaves more choreographed magic into the narrative and allows the entire cast to show what they can do.

A poor script, uninvolving direction and some tepid fight scenes combine to test even the most forgiving viewer’s patience.

‘Duel To The Death’ is ostentatious proof director Ching Siu Tung is not someone merely told where to put the camera.

Fun if frivolous, ‘Dynamite Warrior’ is not the best of its kind but worthwhile for the awesome combat.

‘Eagle’s Claw’ is a reminder of Lee Tso-Nam’s ability to take a potentially pedestrian storyline and fill it with shades of intrigue throughout.

‘Eastern Condors’ is a mind blowing mix of kung fu and wartime combat that will have you hooked from start to finish.

Martial arts, magic and bizarre creatures are blended together seamlessly, with expert direction.

‘Enter the Dragon’ is a campy and extremely entertaining action romp that is successful because of two important ingredients – Bruce Lee and Martial Arts.

This is an excellent action flick in the vein of Yuen Kwai’s 80’s actioners such as ‘Yes, Madam’ and ‘Righting Wrongs’ and is certainly a class above more recent efforts from the HK action circuit.

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

Most of the film’s jokes are lame and the plot would be familiar to those who have seen more than a couple of 80s’ Hong Kong movies.
