    "Warriors Two" (directed and co-starring Sammo Hung) is a great- if flawed- kung fu flick, but it's only great as a kung fu flick. If you're aren't into the genre, you probably will spend more time hating on the script.

    "Crippled Avengers" is unusual because its reputation expands beyond being a quirky kung fu flick starring the Venom Mob. Its influence extend into other genres and the goofiness has lead some viewers to erroneously claim that it's a 'so bad, it's good' chop socky flick. The core concept is campy enough that the idea of legless, armless, blind and deaf people fighting almost overshadows its exceptional martial arts choreography.

    "The Five Deadly Venoms" boasts exceptional direction by Chang Cheh, ambitious writing by Kuang Ni (and Chang Cheh) and good martial arts action by the Venom Mob...I do find it strange, however, that I'm less enthusiastic in regards to the kung fu in this kung fu movie...even though I'm definitely a fan.

    “I Spit on Your Grave 2” might take place in a different country and might have made a few changes to the formula, but once again, it’s just a lot of raping and a lot of torturing. Eventually you’re doomed to become desensitized to the brutality and when that happens, the movie just becomes sort of boring…and I got used to it during the first 30 minutes…
  5. “Good Guys Wear Black (1978)” movie review.

    “Good Guys Wear Black”- which by the way, is an awesome title- was one of the first Chuck Norris vehicles that suffers from the same problems as most of Chuck's earlier films. But like “Breaker! Breaker!”, "A Force of One" and “The Octagon”, there is something oddly appealing about them. They're shoddily made, stiffly acted, poorly plotted and the fight scenes are few and certainly aren't on par with what Bruce Lee delivered 5-10 years earlier. Yet there's just something so alluring about them.
