Bodyguard, The (2024) Review
In 2024 director Qin Pengfei seemed to be channelling the work ethic of Chang Cheh at his most productive, cranking out an impressive 6 productions spanning everything from period kung-fu flick, to wuxia styled swordplay, to contemporary actioner. It’s hardly a surprise that in the following year he’d take a break, before returning in 2026 with Wings of Dread, offering up the enticing prospect of Ashton Chen versus Iko Uwais. … Continue reading

Black Storm (2024) Review
When China’s now ubiquitous web-movie scene first appeared in the mid-2010’s, it would be a hard sell to believe that such productions would eventually lead to a resurgence of the contemporary setting martial arts movie.

Wings of Dread (2026) Review
Back when I was first getting into HK action cinema I watched the 1986 classic Royal Warriors (and still own the Universe DVD to this day!), a highlight of which sees Michelle Yeoh and Hiroyuki Sanada take on Chan Wai-Man and a bunch of hijackers on a plane. A masterpiece of close quarters choreography, I’d always thought what a cool idea it would be to set a whole kung-fu movie … Continue reading

The Sin Trade (2026) Review
Director: Siyu Cheng Cast: Ashton Chen, Lin Fengchao, Wang Zhen Er, Michael Mao, Liu Yitong, Rui Xiu Running Time: 98 min. By Paul Bramhall An unexpected phenomena occurred in the 2020’s that I’d dare say won’t be fully appreciated until we have enough hindsight to look back on them – the Chinese streaming industry (or web movies as they’re known locally) elevated its action genre offerings to a level that … Continue reading
Saint of Gamblers, The (1995) Review
Director: Wong Jing Cast: Eric Kot, Chingmy Yau, Ben Lam, Ng Man Tat, Diana Pang Dang, Shing Fui On, Ashton Chen, Bobby Yip, Nat Chan Pak Cheung, Hui Si Man, Pauline Yeung, Donnie Yen, Corey Yuen Kwai, Andy Cheng Kai-Chung Running Time: 96 min. By Paul Bramhall While the Hong Kong gambling movie has been around for several decades, chances are if you ask someone to name one of them, the default answer will be the 1989 classic God … Continue reading
