Red Wolf - Kenny Ho, Ngai Sing, Christy Cheung, Elaine Lui
5/5

A great modern piece directed by Yuen Wo Ping that takes place on a cruise ship. Though not heavy on fights, what's there is extremely impressive, much like Drunken Tai Chi, except this is all kickboxing. Kenny Ho is great, and his finale with Ngai Sing is very impressive, though his match with the superkicker is better.



Red Zone - Kenneth Lo, Yu Rong Guang, Kenny Ho, Lester Chan
5/5

Though the action is sparse in this, it's so good that I can't help but give a generous rating. All the cast (except Lester) perform as though they were straight out of Beijing Wu Shu or something. Kenneth Lo has a great fight with 3 men in his house which puts it in my mind as one of the best 1 on many fights ever. Guang and Kenny Ho have their moments too.



Righting Wrongs - Yuen Biao, Melvin Wong
5/5

One of Yuen Biao's best performances. He does all kinds of stunts, like hanging from an airplane, parachuting, lots of falls, plenty of fighting, and a kick that puts all other kicks to shame where he does a corkscrew followed by a kick. Cynthia Rothrock comes in second place because Biao is so likable, and he looks better. Still acrobatic too. The last fight between him and Melvin Wong is impressive with good stunts (Wong has a double for those) and well choreographed fistwork.



Romeo Must Die - Jet Li, Russell Wong, Aaliyah
2/5

These 2 points go to Jet Li. The big guy is funny in it, but other than that this movie is just another movie. Jet can do some mean fighting with those zip ties and a belt. Other than that there's nothing worthwhile except for Jet getting really mad at the end against Russell Wong, who is a total fake. The guy can't throw a good punch.



Rumble in the Bronx - Jackie Chan, others
3/5

Jackie's recent entrance into the US market. It's not stellar, but Jackie did some good stunts, plus a decent fight against a room full of guys and he uses props pretty well. The end has good stunts. No good 1 on 1 fighting though, at all. This isn't really a HK movie in my eyes. Still ok.
