The Untold Story 2
The Untold Story 2 (1998)
Loved It.
3 October 2003
As a diehard Anthony Wong fanboy i knew id love this. Wong plays officer lazyboots, a bumbling cop who always seems to lose his gun (a staple of the asian "bumbling cop" for more proof see ichi the killer) He however has a keen sence on intuition and when his best mates wifes cousin comes to town things start to go haywire.

A few cool sex scenes, limited but pleasurable amount of gore but overall sence of fun makes this a great little flick id recommend to genre fans all over.

The Dead and the Deadly
The Dead and the Deadly (1982)
wow (spoilers)
28 September 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Being the bias Sammo Hung loving hippy i am, i can do nothing but heap praise on this little gem. Sammo plays Wah Li (i know this by looking it up, my subtitles only refer to him as "fatboy") Wah Li is a generous loyal friend to all and decides to look into the murder of his friend Ma Lun Chio (Wu Ma like whOa!) when he smells something fishy. Ma Lun Chio has hatched a plan with a woman and her " villainous " cohort to fake his death and devide his inheritance among the three of them. The woman substitutes as his wife as an heir is needed for the forture to be collect.

Supernatural hijinx ensues as Sammo and Lam Ching Ying (playing and older, less dignified but ten times more loveable sifu then he will in the "vampire" series) work with Ma Lun Chio to avenge his death.

My cousin who is ten and i had and absolute laugh fest during the scene where Wu Ma is tormenting a now stubborn Sammo into helping him. A real feel good movie experience. The ending must be seen to be believed. I wish beyond words HK films were still being made like this. Sammo needs to revive the ghost kung fu comedys he does so well.

8/10

Facial tics and furious kicks.

Its no joke, this movie is INSANE.

Hong Kongs most underated talent Yuen Biao and Hong Kongs greatest talent and my personal favorite Sammo Hung team up for some memorable scenes. The training montage is the best i have ever laid eyes on Yuen does back flips, kip ups, cartwheels, sommersaults and a plethora of other superhuman feats.... WHILE SKIPPING! Another act that had my jaw on the floor was Yuen Biao doing strait legged backwards tumbles with sharpend bamboo splints strapped to the back of his legs. Must be seen to be belived.

10/10 An often overlooked classic.

Guilty pleasure..
1 September 2002
i was about 5 when i saw it and i watched it religiously. I always dug critter movies and i have been looking for this movie ever since. I loved it and thought they were crazy little sadistic bundles of joy.. I look it up here and its about the lowest rated horror flick, which means one thing... the movie really DID kick ass.
