Guest C4 Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Hi there everyone. I was just wondering if you could reccomend some good Hong kong gunplay films. Ive been into them for a while now and have got all the bigger titles like the John Woo and Tsui Haark films, and was hoping you could help me dig a little deeper into this category of film. Cheers.

Guest Dragon Le Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 _Possible Spoilers_____ ____ ______ Rich and Famous and Tragic Hero are 2 early gunplay flicks that are sometimes overlooked. They make a great companion piece to Woo's A Better Tomorrow movies in true HK style. Woo does a mansion - Tragic Hero throws in a mansion 'and' a swimming pool Woo uses Grenades? - Tragic Hero uses 'rocket propelled' grenades.... Woo kills a brother (Leslie Cheung RIP) - Tragic Hero takes out an orphanage... Obvious cash-in aside, the 2 movies are a great homage, and far closer to the essence of hong kong gunplay movies that were circulating around the time.

Guest Markgway Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 I believe that MIA's UK DVD of TRAGIC HERO is a royal POS. I imagine that Mei Ah's is much better... but interlaced. Any confirms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator One Armed Boxer Posted July 22, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 22, 2013 On another note, I see a couple of posters on here mentioned 'City Warriors' as a recommendation....anyone have any more specific opinions on this one? I've contemplated picking it up a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member the moose Posted July 23, 2013 Member Share Posted July 23, 2013 A few other little gems worth a mention: To be number one, City war, The last blood (shamelessly marketed as hard boiled 2 in the UK), cheap killers, killers romance (really low budget but strong hearted), pom pom and hot hot, (Crap title,good action) curry and pepper and days of being dumb (these 2 gun-play comadies have the same director and themes, i would say DOBD is better than the more popular C&P though), fulltime killer is good and seems to pay homage to Woo style gun-play. Any other modern Johnny To thriller is good, but for gun action Exiled stands out. Been at least 5 years since I bought any of these movies I mentioned so not sure about their dvd or vcd availability. Checkout yesasia.com or dddhouse. maybe amazon or ebay if you feel lucky.

Member blue_skies Posted July 23, 2013 Member Share Posted July 23, 2013 Moose, I think you'll find a lot of the early posts allowed for guests. Some became members when you had to become a member to post and others never came back, in a posting capacity anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
