Fist of Legend - Jet Li, Chin Siu Ho, Yasuaki Kurata, Billy Chow
5/5

An intense piece, possibly Jet's ultimate best film. Though he uses a wire or two during the fights to get himself way up in the air, it's awesome nonetheless and it detracts none from the MA content. His fights against Ho, Kurata, and Chow are all very impressive and only get better and longer as he goes along. Against Chow in the dojo is the best one, lasting a whopping 10 minutes long and not losing any attention in the process. Amazing. Kurata is still in great shape and puts on his own show.



Fist Power - Chiu Man Cheuk, Lau Ka Wing, Chang Pei Pei, Wai Ying Hung, Anthony Wong
1/5

A good example of talent wasted. Chiu fights Ka Wing in a small spar because they are father and son, and Ka Wing fights someone else (who must be famous, but I dunno who) at the end which is also impressive, but other than this NOTHING is really worth watching here. Horrible camerawork, bad editing, and bad choreography. Don't bother unless it's free.



Forbidden Arsenal - Cynthia Khan, Robin Shou, Too Shu Chun, Waise Lee, Gary Chau
2.5/5

Mostly bland kickboxing until the end when Shou gets a minute long fight against Khan and Too Shu Chun. Nothing memorable other than that and a cool looking wall flip by Shu Chun.



Full Alert - Lau Ching Wan, Francis Ng

4/5

An intense movie with adrenaline and fear all throughout. Sparse action, but you feel like you're there for all of it. One more point would go for an extra scene, but still, I'd give this a 5/5 if I were rating it based on the movie altogether.
