A
great Hong Kong horror movie with well choreographed action
and a theme song by the film's star, Leslie Cheung.

Hong Kong's answer to Ultraman starring
a young Danny Lee as the hero. A definite guilty pleasure.
So bad it's good.

Sammo Hung directed this classically-styled,
politically-charged actioner starring Ti Lung and Cynthia
Khan. The fight choreography ranks among Sammo's best.

Shaw Bros. classic. See my review. |

A guilty pleasure Jackie Chan vehicle. Flawed,
but also entertaining on many levels.

The second best of the "Three Brothers"
collaborations. Contains a fantastic rematch from Wheels on
Meals between Jackie Chan and Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez.

Danny Lee is the cop and Anthony Wong is the
triad he's chasing. This film has excellent character development
and an uncompromising ending. See my review. |

Great triad/cop drama with great acting by
Anthony Wong. The final scenes where he gets drunk and goes
on a rampage are among his best work ever. See my review. |

The first and best of the series. Yuen Biao
steals the show. Tsui Hark is the man!

The funniest of the "Three Brothers"
collaborations. Each brother is given a chance to shine. There
are some great fight scenes including a legendary bout between
Jackie and Benny 'The Jet' Urquidez.
