‘One Arm Hero’ has its moments, though they don’t help the finished production achieve anything more than the entertaining.

Despite the tantalising title, this flick has nothing to do with John Woo’s genre defining classics but is rather a cheap cash in from the relentless Wong Jing conveyor belt.

All of the fun clashes with wacky opponents are noticeably absent, and the film feels like a much more run-of-the-mill low budget actioner.

Despite its laudable aims, ‘Shanghai Fever’ suffers from its mixed messages and a confusion over what the film’s intention is.

This is a crapfest of epic proportions that should be avoided at all costs. It is a stain on the ‘Street Fighter’ name.

Even though the flick looks the part and is fun for fans, it just never seems to be as exciting as it could and should of been.

‘The Bodyguard From Beijing’ had the potential to be remembered as a classic action film, but Corey Yuen has failed miserably compared to his other wonderful classics.

‘The Crow’ is an excellently constructed and heartfelt action movie that contains a brilliant central performance.

Anyone hoping for an exciting big-budget version of the well-known character will be sorely disappointed by this merely functional cinematic rendition.

What saves this generally poor B-movie from complete obscurity are the numerous well crafted stunt and fight sequences scattered throughout the film.

There’s little to recommend this uncomfortable kung fu comedy so don’t be in any hurry to watch it.

Despite ‘The Lovers’ undoubted quality, it proves to be short of the magic that it often hints at. Parts of this film therefore prove to be greater than it as a whole.
