Member Graeme Noble Posted January 9, 2009 Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 List some of your favourite non-Kung Fu Shaw Brothers films. Here is my short list: KIDNAP - lo lieh can really act, and this hard hitting drama delivers on intensity and strong acting performances. MILLIONAIRE CHASE - fun musical with some nice comedy thrown in. lily ho looks as glamerous as ever, and this is entertainment delivered. ROLLS ROLLS I LOVE YOU - great comedy with some well planned out fun chase scenes. chin siu ho is great here in a non-fighting role. LETS MAKE LAUGH - fantastic funny comedy with kenny bee. great cameo from anita mui, and this is as good as the lucky stars but with depth.

Member KyFi Posted January 9, 2009 Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 I really loved The Enchanting Shadow. I thought it was a beautifiully filmed, slow-paced, very atmospheric, traditional Chinese ghost story. I imagine it would come across as a bit slow and non-scary to many, but it was right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member SamuraiDana Posted January 9, 2009 Member Share Posted January 9, 2009 THE BLUE AND THE BLACK PT. 1 (1966) - wartime melodrama DIAU CHARN (1958) - historical drama/Huangmei opera THE KINGDOM AND THE BEAUTY (1959) - historical romance/huangmei opera THE MAGNIFICENT CONCUBINE (1960) - powerful historical drama LOVE ETERNE (1963) - huangmei opera BLUE SKIES (1967) - musical drama HONG KONG RHAPSODY (1967) - musical THE ASSASSIN (1967) - a swordplay movie with minimal swordplay, more like a classic samurai film in its variation on the theme of "giri-ninjo" (duty vs. humanity). YOUNG PEOPLE (1972) - has some kung fu in it, but only at a college tournament. It's got musical numbers and an extensive basketball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
