Kung Fu flicks, anyone?
If it's worth having, chances I got it. Here's a short lis of the best and craziest HK has to offer.

2002- Ghostbusters, Hong Kong style.
Avenging Fist- Blade Runner meets Fist of Fury.
Naked Weapon- young girls brought up to be assasins fight back!
Tokyo Raiders- kicks and comedy with Tony Leung.

Fourstarlaser.com or HKflix.com hav 'em all.

Bride With White Hair is pretty good.

Who Am I starring Jackie Chan is great, love the car stunt work.

Tokyo Raiders! I've actually seen that on. If I recall there were a lot of cool James Bond style gadgets. I was fun. The Ghostbusters does sound interesting. Tokyo Raiders is definately worth checking out, so if the others are of similar quality, I'll have to look 'em up.

2002 is the name of a human/ghost team that works undercover for the police to handle 'otherworldly' events the police in general cannot deal with. There's lots of lightshow and good ole' wire-fu with a really engaging story centered around one cop who is destined to die for the team, and how he copes.
One of my top 20 of all time (I buy into the sentimental stuff, though).

I didn't go to listing all of Jackie's work 'cause I figgered he's pretty well known now and all, and BTW Who Am I happens to be my favourite!
And if you like the car stunts in that, check out Thunderbolt! Heavily undercranked, but awsome nontheless.

And yeah, Bride with White Hair is a classic, but I was going for newer stuff people might not have seen yet.

The ones I listed above are all that good (or better), and get this: I just got Seoul Raiders, the sequel, and it'a almost as good (and definitly worth buying if really liked the first).

Kung Fu Hustle is the latest, biggest movie from HK. Word is that it's great, but the dvd won't be out for a few weeks. When it's available, I'm gettin' it!

I also should have listed Hot War and Silverhawk above.
Hot War is about VR Kung Fu training (it was made just before Matrix) and the detrimental and tragic effects to one participant. Pulls out your heart, then STOMPS on it(figurativly).
Silverhawk is Michelle Yeoh doing the Batman-type thing in a tight silver body suit

She keeps the shiny side up.

I'll have to see if Netflix has it.

I love anything Jackie Chan, most especially his older films.

Jackie Chan's Project A was great

Although Enter the Dragon will always be my favorite.

Enter the Dragon has that fierce, electric quality that will never be duplicated.
That's one reason to like Chan, he didn't try for that. He's hiself.

Not really HongKong but
Hero, with Jet Li and Zhang Ziyi is excellent and very beautiful. Need to watch it again.
Not Kung Fu, but Raise the Red Lantern is very good.

Needleseye, you need to get the Chinese dvd of Hero, the US version washed out the color and edited it a little bit.
Also try to get your hands on a copy The Road Home, IMHO THE best HK film ever made! No Kung Fu, just a simple story of the meaning of true love.

OK I'll get looking for that and the The Road Home.
Thanks

In the chinese version, the yellow is so yellow, it (almost) makes you think the color setting on your tv is too high!
Don't forget tissues for Road Home.

Well back when John Woo worked from Hong-Kong his movies absolutely Rocked!!!

These should really be looked at if you enjoy action flicks with mind blowing stunts, and slick action editing.

The Killer, Hard Boiled and a Better Tomorrow. There's another one about a trio of cat burglars but I can't remember the title. That was ace!!!! Anyone seen it?

In a way I remember thinking it was more enjoyable than the others - perhaps not better, but it ambled along with less overall seriousness, which sometimes makes it more fun to sit through... Still if you have the chance it's a good n'
