It is a true genre-defining classic that will go down in Hong Kong cinema history as one of the greats.

Coming with a boatload of deserved hype, ‘Godzilla Minus One’ really does live up to the love that has been showered upon it.

John Woo allowed his imagination and cinematic showmanship full flight in ‘Hard Boiled’, strapping his trademark visuals and themes to an RPG and launching them into orbit.

‘Hero’ has shown that an exquisitely photographed film does not always have to be a case of style over substance.

For those prepared for difficult material and subject matter it is a stylish, gripping example of fearless, maverick cinema.

Chang Cheh weaves intrigue into the plot along with a clear sense of humanity and even humour.

Anyone who appreciates quality choreography, well executed fight sequences and a well told story will love this and will definitely want to own it!

‘Kill Bill: Volume 1’ is a great tribute to Asian action cinema that mixes Tarantino’s stylised violence with some top Yuen Woo-Ping choreography.

Tsukamoto proves that he can stand with the filmic legends as he proudly represents a unique sense of style in a densely populated medium.

This film could be recommended alone for it’s exceptional fight action, but as you’d expect from this cast there’s much more on offer.

A seemingly simple set-up is given verve, Hitchcockian tension, and extra depth via nerve shredding direction and having the two leads both deaf and mute.

Jackie openly admits that this film was intended to answer the critics who saw him as just an action star/director. What an answer it proved to be!
