Double Edge | aka American Dragons (1998) Review
Director: Ralph Hemecker Cast: Michael Biehn, Park Joong-hoon, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Don Stark, Byron Mann Running Time: 91 min. By Mighty Peking Man Double Edge is one of those titles you’d see at your local video rental store and say: “Oh God…what the hell is this, another straight-to-video piece of shit?” or “Who the hell is that asian guy standing next to Michael Biehn, a wannabe Jackie Chan?” Well, I can’t … Continue reading

Victim (1999) Review
Director: Ringo Lam Cast: Tony Leung Ka-Fai, Lau Ching-wan, Amy Kwok, Hui Siu Hung, Emily Kwan, Ma Tak Chung Running Time: 100 min. By Mighty Peking Man Ringo Lam steps into the horror-genre with this wickedly-dark film starring Lau Ching-wan and Tony Leung Ka-Fai.

Full Contact (1992) Review
Director: Ringo Lam Writer: Nam Yin Cast: Chow Yun-fat, Simon Yam, Anthony Wong, Ann Bridewater, Bonnie Fu, Chan Chi Leung Running Time: 99 min. By Joe909 Finally, after reading about it for years, I got to see Full Contact. To say the least, it’s a movie experience.

AKA: The Defector Director: Billy Tang Cast: Jet Li, Dick Wei, Stephen Chow Sing Chi, Nina Li Chi, Steven Ho, Mark Williams Running Time: 98 min. By JJ Hatfield Viewed as a film, “Dragon Fight” is not very good. However, all is not lost if you are a Jet Li fan, or fond of martial arts films.
