‘Cyrano Agency’ is a clever distillation of all of those sweeping moments that Korean love stories are known for.

A Japanese monster movie with a samurai twist, ‘Daimajin’ from 1966 is a slowburn film that is part period drama and part giant stone man Kaiju extravaganza.

Yuen Woo-Ping and his brothers fill the film with stunning ‘drunken’ conflicts and duels.

It might not appeal to everyone, especially traditional Shaw Brothers fans, but I’d still say it deserves a place in your collection.

Like the majority of Hideo Nakata’s work, ‘Dark Water’ proves to be more of a psychological entry into the genre rather than an all out gore-fest.

‘Dead Leaves’ is a fantastic injection of animated insanity that will leave your brain absolutely buzzing.

‘Deadend of Besiegers’ is 90 minutes of excellent entertainment featuring some brilliant wireworked fights and a rare chance to see Yu Rong Guang carry a film and play a hero.

It’s rough around the edges and doesn’t always keep the pace consistent, but it shows real promise that was never quite realised.

‘Death Duel’ is a bleak, nihilistic swordplay film that embodies all of the qualities that one expects from a Chor Yuen adaptation of a Gu Long story.

I could wax lyrical about the film for a while longer as ‘Death Grip’ really is great stuff from a director and team who know how to put a fight film together.

This is pulp noir action done right, the banter as sharp as the flying fists and Johnson wisely builds on the first film adding depth to French and Sue as their bond deepens.

Much like the first two Dee flicks, ‘The Four Heavenly Kings’ is an often breathless fantasy blockbuster that doesn’t skimp on the wuxia action, CGI wonderment and imaginative scenarios.
