'A' gai wak (1983)
different formula but doesn't use it much of it
Project A the classic No its another film I paid for which was likable and different but dull. Chan and his crew are old hong Kong coast guards mixed in a dull formula of military style training and arguing with loudmouth police who is lead by then Biro who is Chan's opponent yet become pirate fighters , Samoa hung is funny in this as a caring thief who adds to the films dullness the 3 do some martial arts and with objects which is inventive yet that the story loses its fights and fun and goes into a police , crime story with the same things seen in films such as police story. Don't get me wrong the film is fun with stunts and decent action shown including the team fighting the pi rte boss sang PO , its different and the music is a entertaining piece of period film but it isn't a film you can just love . I have the platinum edition with special features which are nothing but the actors talking about how films have lost there fame and for such a popular film paying for this dose not pay for anything really . Worth watching or buying for about a fiver not 20 pounds , the climax of the film is disappointing its just a fight which is shown in parts and its no fun 3 v one great opponent its just a rushed finale , get it if you want but so far Chan's films ain't done justice so. far and yes I'm collecting Chan's films in every best version possible and have not got far yet , I am getting a few then Biro and Samoa hung films to see if they are are gonna move me .I have the films the prodigal son and knockabout ready to view I'll have a say about them in a review as I paid 20 pounds for both normal hong Kong legends release it could have been platinum , or even a set of editions for this price , it amazes me how this person I know has many of these rare movies .
'A' gai wak 2 (1987)
They mad it sound great but it was dull
Project A2 the popular sequel to the dull but fun film project A. Not as good as one the story is nothing good and the humor was a bit lame . It does deliver many Jakie Chan stunts but ignores a more serious retro fighting film , the one I have is the hong Kong legends edition and its quality of viewing was not even decent I pages a bit for this and was let down by false advertising and I could have had the platinum edition but ya know it would have been higher in price . What action this film is loads of talking , some fun moments a different formula in a fashion. ,stunts and Jakie running and doing inventive things but misses martial arts . So its worth watching as it does have moments but for the rip off price its worth ignoring it , so its old and not good like back in 1987 but people seem to think its a classic but its not
Shi di chu ma (1980)
Jakie trademark and a scene of hapkido
Young master 1980 I got the platinum edition which is remastered well for a old film. Jakie is in a story of fighting against people in a martial art school with a hard master the film is traditional with semi realistic elements in it , Jakie gets involved with a rivalry clan who step by step threat the school of his , the film is funny as its a comedy and the fighting is not present only now and again .the young master is a dull film and takes on too much humor and less arts this could have been better if it was a classic but its same in its boring formula but the trademark of Jakie takes on several funny characters like yuan Biro which adds fun as the film doesn't get better then and Somme hung would make these films better . The scene which makes this a film to view is a one on one fight with hang in Sui who does some nice hapkido , this is the only fight of Jakie's so far that's a different and fun fight to watch but it isn't really great as Jakie takes inhuman punishment .The young master is only worth viewing for its funny scenes and the rare surprise of hapkido after all its nothing that's worth paying loads a money out for like I did its a pain to get these films and a pain to get the best versions and even to get them at a reasonable price .
Jui kuen (1978)
a old dated Chan film but entertaining
Drunken master 1979 is old and dated . It was disappointing since it has a reputation to be a Chan classic , it is no classic the performances by a the cast were OK and annoying for a martial art film it does deliver as Jakie and beggar Sui go through training and long term practice so Jakie can master the eight drunken gods a martial art style of drunk mortal fight art. So the comedy of drunken master was fun there are many gags and characters who fight Chan that result in an funny ending , it is annoying that the films quality in every aspect is bad but the film was a lot more fun in 1979 . So it has fun elements and decent effects and martial arts fights of the time but its dull .Jakie in the film plays a comic look on Chinese folk hero Wong fie hung that is boring and yet again he is called Freddie Wong shown in the subtitles .My review drunken master is half entertaining and half dull
a
Se ying diu sau (1978)
old and corny but likable
Snake in the eagles shadow 1978 came out before drunken master is a martial art film with the same cast . Jakie and y sou tine do training and hard martial art practice to make Jakie a hero to fight the eagle claw clan , centered in rural dark areas Jakie puts great drama as a orphan in a martial art school who is bullied by his dictator Dean sheik. The story is formulaic but fun all about traditional animal styles of Chinese arts , the training scenes and music is retro although a corny film its fun in parts the film suffers from a annoying badly quality film showing its age and its repetitive music but its fight scenes including a fight with Wang Jain Lea is disappointing and at the same time good to watch .This is no classic but it has its retro scenes the film misses comedy that would have made it better snake is not like drunken master but its from the same company which is considered Chan's fame of a star . A rare film to get in show and a dear price online its worth getting for collection.
Dou foh sin (2007)
no where near good
i was really disappointed with this flash point. I know it sounds good but its the same formulatic stuff that has been done a million times.a cop goes after 3 drug dealing brothers blah blah its so boring that even the intro is crap donnie yen hasn't made many films and they Arno fun either all these martial art films are the same unrealistic and hyped. Flashpoint is just bad the cop just goes after the gang andd. Events occur donnie kills em and thats it.the final fight is really bad it is unrealistic and the two people fighting take too much punishment the martial arts are the same shop sockey stuff and the wounds or bleeds are childlike realistic. I don't like it i don't like the martial arts i think there is no fun in this film i just think it is something that could of been classic but it aims at unrealism and cop struken storyline.flash point gets a 2
Rush Hour 2 (2001)
no its not worth watching nothings worth watching
No rush hour was extremely boring but 2 just sets the bar for a waste of a film once again the 2 fools produce no fun just silly jokes and real Borden its a mess i don't appreciate any positivity on this. I ts like any other sequel the same stuff but just more tripe 2 cops on the case whatever. Whatever martial art films no martial Aryn t films are rubbish. And the 3 red is rubbish even worse don't know why these films huh so don't watch its not worth it. are popular Beverie the people who like these are just as bad huh.people justing me whatevetvwhatevervwhatever whattevervwhateverbimbored with reviees borred with everything uwith there stupidity to films i hayer this bi hate it just listen to the truth
Rush Hour (1998)
hyped up awful. boring. typical. tripe
Huh rush hour is very boring all it is are two cops go after a crime syndicate.the film is tripe and has lame humor which is all i saw Chris tucker was awful and not even funny. The film had no martial arts in it and no action it is a worser version of lethal weapon i hate it the story was very dull and as I've said its a tripe film i don't Lister to the positive comments. These films disappoint me and Jakie Chan is another annoying character putting Chris and Chan together was the film has two sequels and they are worse than rush hour 1 absolute dreadful film i spit on it
just ponce. Don't watch it for gods sake.
Ong-bak 3 (2010)
bad but if made perfect probably could have been fun
Ong bak 3 has a story which suits me its not stupid the directing is bad and the film is rushed in many ways this also lacks action. Thre is one scene where assassins invade the thIs village and that scene could have been good as the music is excellent its about the thai culture and when there is the action i wished it was non stop because the odd mummify is humorous and the film is bad and badder but the music is good band as a film it is stylish and the climax is mixed with a dancing style.ong bak 3 needneeded more action more music. Style and it could have been fun but no and tony hads to try his best to entertain me.
Ong Bak 2 (2008)
awful and OK at times
Yes it has a good story ong bak. The beginning has some of the better fight scenes in better than warrior king. The characters are OK but tony jaa gives the best entertainment there is a martial art based story but its still not good as the script or the setting just didn't work. I t is filmed in a low budget way but it has style at time and some bone breaking in the fights but its not saving the film. There is not enough enjoyment not enough realism and some cgi which spoils it but it was than warrior king but still mostly bad than good. Ong bak 3 is to be reviewed that has badness written all over it but some thai culture odd good thai move. And excellent music bit cgi i haven't got any expectedness for tom yum goong 2
Tom yum goong (2005)
boring film
After the bad but decent ong bak this film with supposed excellent Acton scenes disappointed me. tony jaa hurts a lot of crime members when they steal his elephants. This plot is unique and the fights try to be good but they turned out to be not the worst these films are nothing special bur warrior king is the worst tony jaa film the Acton scenes especially the climax was far fetched and the setting is western so thees no Thai culture nor music. The characters are rubbish the comedy in this is stupidly boring a mess. this film is not appalling but bad i cant Even stand ti watch it even the stunts Arno enough Ti save it
Ong-Bak (2003)
on the line of decency
right its not a good film its decent. story's very well suited and the elements of Thai culture is pretty good the style mauy Thai is a fun martial art and tony jaa uses it good against a crime syndicate. The film is directed standardly with the budget that is not very good. highlights are the fight scenes and the fun music but at the level of dull altogether i think that to be a perfect martial art film it needs style but ong bak produces pretty annoying xharacters my resting. whatever.the other ong bak films are worse and the one that came out this year is not liked by many. warrior king was dull and i didn't like it much. once I've seen warrior king 2 il review it.
Serbuan maut (2011)
the raid is a hyped up disappointment although it has its moments
we all no the plot of the raid this review is on the film itself not on the story. the plot is perfect and a perfect martial art film is meant to be martial arts not a boring story like old boy which was awful the director of raid had to do his best with the films budget which wasn't high the music of the film is perfect the style penkap silat Indonesian martial art was good but when seeing the film the fight scenes wasn't new it was same as kung fu so the fight scenes were a flop too much involving and no fun thats the r raid this film is the typical swat team vs drug team in a building once i had seen it it was boring the character's were not very good only iko uwais and the scenes whet he-fights were the highlights. however the raid is boring it annoyed me that it just wasn't fun it was a serious film which was well portrayed but people are hyping it up the film is meant to be voilent its good seeing druggies getting killed bur people seem to complain about the violence well thats reality so this film had its moments with the end right scene but its highly far fetched but the climax is watchable thats it a film that find boring. And i here that the raid 2 is good this is what the raid 2 is its a film i don't have high ezpevtatipns on it. il review the raid 2. when i see it so to the other people whatever
Unlawful Entry (1992)
Awful stuff , a very stupid and waste of a picture.
Awful thriller , i don't care but amazon is to blame them idiots made me waste my time with this garbage by giving it star. But i don't bother im not wasting time again , this film is not interesting it is loaded with sexual acts and a creepy bad guy who stalks Kurt Russel and his wife and then it is just the two fighting over her, so the story is very stupid and the acting is not intriguing as the film is just tame for the revenge scenes and just , violent acts, a villain, cops on the go, Kurt Russel in the film that that could have been classic, this is not a 90s class film it is more like a film today , overrated for moderate threat and gun fights and blood.
Hard to Kill (1990)
Hard to kill is a terrible action film that fails to be good.
Awful this hard to kill action film was a waste of my time , for a start it does a annoying soundtrack some boring action that is so tame , and acting which fails to be good. Every bit of the plot is standard a group of hit men kill segal although he is still alive then he kills them , then when the action and revenge scenes come it is so tame , only a bit of blood and a group of tame shootouts and the typical , gun , fight , odd quote , just miss it. I think people just don't agree but they should because many others will hate this film and haaa they should make a good action film , this uggggg get the bin out . overrated 15 certificate for moderate violence.
Marked for Death (1990)
Marked for death is a waste of time , stupid as anuthing.
Marked for death , is corny , i don't care i hate this film it is a story about Jamaican drug fdealers ,, oouuggg horrible the accent and dialouge goes into a childish form , kids will love this garbage but as an action film it is a cartoon , the violence is tame and horrible because the film has no realistic fights the revenge action scenes ares simple , ohhhhh , shoot em up , no death that is good. Steven is a bad actor and in this mutters a stupid plot and just puts you off , i mean the actors and characters are in some kind of wannabe good film but is only for you cheesy corny film lovers . Avoid anyone who is good.Overrated 15 certificate for moderate violence and language.
Soldier (1998)
Soldier is a waste of good sets and action
Soldier 1998 review , OK this film is wated by not having good sets or good action , and this got really bad reviews and so i agree people can say what they want but this really is junk. Soildier kurt russel decives himself to takre part as a soildier based on mars in harsh training conditions , now he has several fights and gets dumped becauuse people don't want him as a soildier . Soildier has a dreadful plot and the special effects for set pieces are all cgi computer instalations and the action is just the usual boring tame stuff with no acceptations . Avoid this horrid junk food of filming time. Very ovverrated 15 certificate for some blood and violence .
Above the Law (1988)
NICO is a waste of film.
nico above the law 1988 review , so this is my opinion on this bad action flick , so if you like my opinion good but if you don't then people who want good action films will avoid this like i am going to do , do not watch any steven segal film , boring the nico story is boring and the acting is horrific and the action is so forgettable . Nico is a Vietnam prisionor investigator who reired from the missions and went up against a drug cartel for the war efforts , so nico is segal who is using a paper bag script , he hardly says anything and the film has them horrid pixels . Nico is loaded for bordem . Highly ovverrated 15 certificate for moderate violence and language , hope my review helped i just wasted my time with this garbage .
Tango & Cash (1989)
Got to love this classic kurt and satallone film.
Simple but guarantee to make you laugh and have an great film of a daft mindless view . Its so ridicoulsy enjoyable thats it is classic , the action better tha some others but we get average not a lot but if you want fun and another duo cop film from the 80s get this. I really recommend it it is a lot better than cobra , true lies , it gets 7.0 out of 10.0 good film/ tango and cash is escapism you will enjoy . Laughs and action good stuff . 15 certificate for strong violence , prison violence and sexual scenes and language . Clearly it gets 6.3 on this iv put my review to get people to watch and enjoy but it is my opinion and so but everyone can enjoy this . If i review something classic then you need to buy these films are simple modern ones are cgi paked and done using copying these are original class films.

Defiantly one of the most funny films ever , it is just class the acting is great the plot gives suspnce the picture sound is 80s gold and the picture is great the lethal weapon team are back to take down some bad butys this is one of the better ones of 80s . Every one can enjoy this duo in this film i watched it 5 times in a row at Christmas thats what you need to do buy now , it failes from outstanding but is brilliant and is very funny every time and to add the fun on joe pesci is a great actor and is in this extra fun buy its good . 8.o out of 10.0 not outstanding but great film .

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)
Lethal dentertainment pure dynamite
Jet li is in this what a great treat its brutal and bad but most of its great laughs and great action, this really makes most 90s action films rubbish but this its good every time . After a 3 great film of fun this was pleasant the characters thrill enjoyable dialoge is in and a fine character leo gets hes amazing . The opening said to me it was gonna be good and it was dynamite the fights are very well done mel and danny kill lots of bad guys but if you want more lethal fun buy its good . 8.0 out of 10.0 not brill but is good / packed with laughs , humour , acting and lethal dou entertainment this is for any person . This series really is a fine 4 films that is not the best but is one of the better films of the 80s and 90s . 18 certificate for graphic violence , fights , language / the 15 version is a censored version which contains more of strong violence and language .
Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
My opinion is that its classic 80s action with a great hero
Pure popcorn entertainment , i hope people enjoy this classic its got action , great revenge and a great hero stallone with lots of knife combat , the sounds and picture jump out like a masterpiece . The plot is going into present / day Vietnam where the one man war starts a revenge kill spree . With lots of 80s elements lots of good action and depth in the rambo feelings its an unnapreciated classic . So sit back with the family Christmas time or not do what i did watch this rewatchable action film it is utter thrilling . Stallone has done it hes made great entertainment . 9.0 out of 10.0 misses outstanding but it is great fun . s hould be 18n certificate for strong graphic violence , brutal torcher and brutal images , strong language .
Under Siege (1992)
Seagel at his best this film is a high tech laugh and pack of thrills .
Lets say this was a good seagel film a thriller and action its very cool in ways . The film was described as die hard on a battle ship no its not die hard is a bad boring film but this is very entertaining .This has thrills , and laughs lots of action which is bad getting killed so its a classic this is simple different 90s action that is very inventive if you want to watch go ahead its an seagal film everyone knows seagal hes just awesome .8.0 out of 10.0 / entertaining film / it does lack brilliance and brill acting although seagal is the highlighlight its still very underrated and great . 15 certificate clearly underrated this is a brutal action film the seagal action ids always brutal . should be 18 for strong brutal action violence , threat and language and some sexual scenes . 7 0ut of 10 for violence can be very bad to viewers . total explitict content 10 out of 100 so it gets little explitict content .
