  Legend Of The Eight Samurai

  3.0
  Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, History, Martial Arts, Romance  •  Japan

  It just takes a while to get going with too much wandering around, the leads randomly and conveniently bumping into everyone, and their romance clogging up too much of the runtime.

  Black Dragon River

  2.5
  Action, Martial Arts  •  South Korea

  There is a degree of drama in this story of redemption but it’s not constructed with any great care and can hardly make up for the lack of sparkle in the choreography.

  Ghost Punting

  3.0
  Action, Comedy, Fantasy, Horror, Martial Arts  •  Hong Kong

  Mercifully the ghost busting escapades do provide some laughter and come the final run Sammo Hung and Corey Yuen unleash some wicked fight action.

  Everything Under Control

  4.0
  Action, Comedy, Crime  •  Hong Kong

  ‘Everything Under Control’ brings together a few members of popular Cantopop group Mirror and the ever quirky Ivana Wong for a suitably amusing and defiantly odd Hong Kong comedy.

  Kill ‘Em All 2

  2.5
  Action, Crime, Martial Arts, Thriller  •  USA

  The original ‘Kill ‘Em All’ was no great shakes, and this belated sequel only slightly improves on the first film thanks to some nice location work and a modicum of half decent action.

  Panda Plan

  2.0
  Action, Comedy, Martial Arts  •  China

  The fight action is apologetic, the comedy forced and the complete package a grave disservice to the young audience it was obviously intended for.
