Member Phoenix Posted April 25, 2011 Member Share Posted April 25, 2011 You listed quite a few I'd mention, I haevn't seen these though: Red Fists Three Against the World (dull movie but it has one sick fight in there) Who's The Crook (didnt watch it with subs, but there is one great action piece at the end) Kung Fu Kids movies-I might have one of these Heroic Fight Mahjong Dragon All I can think of right now is Death Games but I think you've seen that?

Member odioustrident Posted April 25, 2011 Member Share Posted April 25, 2011 If you haven't seen Magic Crystal, License to Steal, Innocent Interloper or the Tiger on Beat films you should do that. If you liked Pom Pom and Hot Hot, give True Hero and Fox Hunter a look, both with Stephen Tung Wai gunplay in them. For Hong Kong Godfathers type action, maybe Bloody Brotherhood, Into the Fire and Drunken Eagle. Kung Fu Kids VI is some of the best new wave action ever done imo. Always worth looking for: Final Run Fun and Fury Oh Yes Sir Big Deal Blood Ritual Stone Age Warriors Inspector Wears Skirts I Live Hard Mistaken Identity Mighty Gambler Death Cage Young Kickboxer Widow Warriors Retreat of Godfather Scheming Wonders Mountain Warriors Marked for Murder Drugs Fighters Shadow Cop Super Lady Cop Phantom War Champion Operation Mission of Justice Nocturnal Demon Devil Hunters Kung Fu Student (Lo Rei) Lady Killer (the one with Chi Kuan Chun, have not seen the other) Sorry for the disorganized list, these are just films of varying quality that I can remember enjoying right now. Of course there is a lot more out there...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Phoenix Posted April 25, 2011 Member Share Posted April 25, 2011 Aargh you've reminded me I need to get Retreat Of The Godfather someday. Whatever happened to the release that was planned a few years back? Were the Kung Fu Kids films choreographed by the Death Games choreographer?

Member AlbertV Posted April 25, 2011 Member Share Posted April 25, 2011 CITY OF DARKNESS was another. While Donnie Yen got top billing, he was more of an extended cameo and the film's actual stars included KUNG FU KIDS' David Cho (Joh Haau-Foo) and Luo Lee. Collin Chou, Kim Penn, and Billy Chau were villains in the film. It was a Taiwanese thriller made in 1999. THE HUNTED HUNTER was a HK/Filipino modern that starred Yuen Biao and RED CLIFF's Zhang Fengyi in 1997. Biao played a framed up security officer in the Philippines who escapes and goes to HK to find the real killers. Chung Fat played one of the villain's henchmen.

Yes, Lam Man-Cheung choreographed the all but the second installment of KUNG FU KIDS (Wong Yiu choreographed the second film) and also did DEATH GAMES. He also directed CITY OF DARKNESS.
