okay...

[Guest sevenhooks]

Just thought I'd throw some titles out there and see what kind of reaction they get.

In the process of going through my DVD collection (an arduous task to say the least), I started with my HK "new wave" stuff.

Basically films from around 1983 or so until the early 90's.

Here's SOME of my faves (no way am I trying to complete), and in no particular order...

Peking Opera Blues

Project A

Police Story

Long Arm of the Law

Savior of the Soul

We're Going To Eat You

Eastern Condors

Righting Wrongs

On The Run

A Better Tomorrow

Bury Me High

Yes Madam

Mr. Vampire

Mr. Vampire 3

Swordsman 2

Kung Fu Cult Master

Chicken and Duck Talk

Stage Door Johnny

God of Gamblers

Paper Marriage

Where's Officer Tuba?

discuss...
