Obsessed, The (1975) Review
Director: Mak Pang Chin Cast: Nora Miao, Kwan Sang, Ko Keung, Lee Keung, Guan Shan, Essie Lin Chia, Qin Han Running Time: 90 min. By Mighty Peking Man A newlywed couple’s (Kwan Sang and Nora Miao) relationship turns into a nightmare when they start to witness paranormal activity. A “spiritualist” (Ko Keung) is hired to investigate the strange phenomenon, and discovers a deep, dark secret within the marriage that’s bringing … Continue reading
Happy Together | aka Buenos Aires Affair (1997) Review
Director: Wong Kar Wai Producer: Chan Yee Gan Cast: Leslie Cheung, Tony Leung, Chang Chen, Shirley Gwan Suet Lai, Linda Wong Hing Ping Running Time: 97 min. By Woody Ignore your homophobia for an hour and a half and watch this film. It is a brilliant meditation on a failing relationship, and will definitely strike a chord with anyone who has been in a relationship nearing it’s end. “Happy Together” … Continue reading
Fallen Angels (1995) Review
Director: Wong Kar Wai Cast: Leon Lai Ming, Michelle Reis, Kaneshiro Takeshi, Charlie Young Choi Nei, Karen Mok Man Wai, Chan Man Lei, Chan Fai Hung, Benz Kong To Hoi, Saito Toru Running Time: 96 min. By Alexander “Fallen Angels,” Wong Kar-Wai’s follow-up to “Chungking Express,” is as stark a movie as “Chungking” is bright and airy. Notable, really, only for Takeshi Kaneshiro’s inspired performance as an amicable, mute “thug,” … Continue reading
Chungking Express (1994) Review
AKA: Chung King Express Director: Wong Kar Wai Writer: Wong Kar Wai Cast: Brigitte Lin, Kaneshiro Takeshi, Tony Leung Chiu Wai, Faye Wong, Valerie Chow Kar Ling Running Time: 102 min. By Lady Tequila Wong Kar-Wai’s Hong Kong is an offbeat, stylised, slow-motion blur of colours, sounds, tastes and smells which roll off the screen with the vividness of a dream. The ever-present, streaking neon of the city night is … Continue reading
Beast Stalker, The (2008) Review
AKA: Beaststalker Director: Dante Lam Writer: Jack Ng Cast: Nicholas Tse Ting Fung, Nick Cheung Ka Fai, Sherman Chung Shu Man, Derek Kwok Jing Hung, Ringo Chan Ka Leung, Joe Cheung Tung Cho Running Time: 111 min. By Mighty Peking Man I just realized it’s been years since I’ve seen a Dante Lam flick (last one I saw was 1998’s Beast Cops), let alone any Hong Kong movie. I have … Continue reading
Beast Cops (1998) Review
Director: Gordon Chan Co-director: Dante Lam Cast: Anthony Wong, Michael Wong, Stephanie Che Yuen Yuen, Kathy Chow, Sam Lee, Patrick Tam, Roy Cheung, Arthur Wong, Raven Choi, Michael Lui Running Time: 104 min. By Tequila Beast Cops, for me, was the best film out in 1998, just beating Milkyway’s fantastic and even more seedy The Longest Nite at the post. Why? Well, the acting (from award winners Anthony Wong and … Continue reading

Treasure Hunt | aka American Shaolin (1994) Review
Director: Jeff Lau Cast: Chow Yun Fat, Wu Chien Lien, Gordon Liu, Philip Kwok, Chin Han, Choi Yue, Roy Chiao, Michael Wong, Giorgio Pasotti, Jun Kunimura, Jeff Lau Running Time: 105 min. By Numskull “Lag.” Verb. To fall behind; to straggle; to fail to keep pace. In other words, to proceed at an inadequate rate. Treasure Hunt lags. Boy, does it EVER lag. It lags so much, it sets a … Continue reading
Twin Dragons (1992) Review
Director: Ringo Lam Co-director: Tsui Hark Cast: Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Nina Li Chi, Teddy Robin Kwan, Johnny Wang, Guy Lai Ying Chau, David Chiang, Jamie Luk Kim Ming, Kirk Wong Running Time: 100 min. By Numskull One thing you have to admit about Jackie Chan, whether you like him or not, is that he’s not afraid to admit it when one of his movies is a disappointment. Besides the … Continue reading

By Raging Gaijin “Thunderbolt” is the only Jackie Chan film from the 90’s that never saw wide release in the US, whether on DVD or at the theatre. … Continue reading
Sleepless Town | aka Fuyajo (1998) Review
Director: Lee Chi Ngai Cast: Kaneshiro Takeshi, Mirai Yamamoto, Lung Sihung, Eric Tsang, Kathy Chow, Seijun Suzuki Running Time: 122 min. By Alexander “Now it all makes sense,” says Kenichi, Takeshi Kaneshiro’s character near the end of the noir-ish thriller “Sleepless Town”. Well, not quite. This meandering, slick and very Wong Kar Wai-like film is so confusing, you’ll instantly ignore the deluge of plot twists amidst a huge cast of … Continue reading

All in the Family | aka It’s All in the Family (1975) Review
Director: Zhu Mu Writer: Yeung Hua Producer: Raymond Chow Cast: Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung Kam Bo, Dean Shek Tien, James Tien Chun, Tien Ni, Carter Wong Ka Tat Running Time: 97 min. By Vic Nguyen A Japanese girl’s dream film. If you want to see Jackie’s ass doing something other than for the purpose of comedy, this is the film to see. The plot has something to do with a … Continue reading
