Extreme Crisis (1998) Review
Director: Bruce Law Cast: Julian Cheung, Theresa Lee, Shu Qi, Kenya Sawada, Wong Yat Fei, Spencer Lam Running Time: 95 min. By Tequila Imagine The Rock on acid…that is the only way I can describe this movie. I was expecting a clone of The Rock from the reviews and my expectations were pretty low – this film is pretty much just crap acting and a bunch of explosions on the … Continue reading
Snake of June, A (2002) Review
Director: Shinya Tsukamoto Cast: Asuka Kurosawa, Yuji Kohtari, Shinya Tsukamoto, Masato Tsujioka, Susumu Terajima Running Time: 77 min. By Raging Gaijin It’s no secret that the Japanese people are repressed. And we all know that when a society represses its deepest, darkest urges, they don’t actually go away. No, they remain just below the surface and ready to break through at any moment. Or at the very least they’re filtered … Continue reading

By Mairosu After Yojimbo proved to be a huge commercial hit, messrs Kurosawa and Mifune teamed up for another humorous caper about the wisecracking nameless ronin, and this time with equal success.

Born to Defend | aka Final Fight (1990) Review
AKA: Born to Defense Director: Jet Li Cast: Jet Li, Paulo Tocha, Cho Wing, Dean Harrington, Mark King, Deon Lam Dik On, Dan Mintz Running Time: 90 min. By Numskull Jet Li’s directorial debut is better than some of his other films with more accomplished and recognized directors, but don’t be too quick to chalk that up to an abundance of talent on his part. When “some of his other … Continue reading

By Slaxor The Killing Machine is a fun little Chiba flick. Probably one of my favorites of his and much much better then the overrated chore to sit through that is The Street Fighter. In the movie, Sonny Chiba very loosely portrays … Continue reading
