Member Tex Killer Posted July 14, 2014 Member Share Posted July 14, 2014 As far as I am aware of, I have only "men from the gutter" and "danger has two faces". "On the wrong track" is in my shopping list... How about murderer pursues? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cold Bishop Posted July 14, 2014 Member Share Posted July 14, 2014 Hong Kong Godfather is a must. One of the launching points of the Heroic Bloodshed genre. This Man Is Dangerous is also pretty good, if not quite as accomplished. I liked Murderer Pursues, but I feel both The Informer and particularly Mobfix Patrol to be better. They're not Shaw, but Alex Cheung's Cops and Robbers and Man on the Brink are much more strongly representative of what New Wave crime cinema was all about. Brothers from the Walled City isn't as good as MftG, due to some obvious censor tinkering, but its worth a look if you liked that film. Hua Shan did his Triad trilogy - Brotherhood, To Kill a Jaguar, The Brothers - which straddle the line between bashers and straight-up gangster films. If you're looking at pre-New Wave stuff, Sun Chung's The Drug Connection and Kuei Chih-Hung's The Delinquent are both essential. I'm also a huge fan of Cheng Kang's Kidnap which is all the more remarkable that it plays it straight, mostly eschewing kung-fu/action. I would love to see the MIA Bank-Busters, which sounds pretty groundbreaking for its era, but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jackie Fhan Posted July 17, 2014 Member Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hello, good list I believe. I have seen a couple of those movies, however I am hoping when you list movies would it be ok to ask to include dates? Sometimes movies are a little hard to find in their engilsh name and it would be great to have a few extra clues if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Morgoth Bauglir Posted July 18, 2014 Member Share Posted July 18, 2014 I don't think this one fits but I'm gonna throw in Iron Chain Assassin. And I might as well recommend What Price Honesty too. You can't go wrong with those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Tex Killer Posted July 20, 2014 Author Member Share Posted July 20, 2014 I don't think this one fits but I'm gonna throw in Iron Chain Assassin. And I might as well recommend What Price Honesty too. You can't go wrong with those. I have both of those, iron chain assassin AKA convict killer is very good:bigsmile:. What price honesty still in plastic. Own also HK godfather, the delinguent, to kill a jaguar and kidnap. Last of 2 I have watched, HK and delinquent still in towers unsealed...Informer I have on vcd, very good movie. Thx cold, brotherhood and mobfix are on their way to me.. How about mercenaries from hong kong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShawAngela Posted July 20, 2014 Member Share Posted July 20, 2014 Sun Chien and Pai Piao are excellent in What price honesty. Hong Kong godfather is very good, Beardy and Norman Tsui are excellent in it. The delinquent is also very good, with Wong Chung as lead (if I'm not mistaken, I watched it a while ago...). Mercenaries from Hong Kong is a very good action movie and Liu Yung is excellent in Brotherhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Cold Bishop Posted July 20, 2014 Member Share Posted July 20, 2014 I've avoided mentioning any period/overtly martial-arts stuff, but if we're going down that road (and What Price Honesty? is a great film) get thee to Duel for Gold pronto, which is a straight-up hard-boiled film noir in disguise as a wuxia.
