Police Story 2
Med narkotikakongen Chu Tao bak lås og slå lever inspektør Chan og kjæresten hans et rolig og lykkelig liv. Men når Tao blir erklært dødssyk blir han sluppet ut fra fengsel for å få noen siste måneder i frihet. Plutselig står Chan overfor trusler fra to sider når han både må håndtere håndlangerne til Tao og et bombedrama i et kjøpesenter.
Shaolin Mantis
Liu Chia-liang is arguably the best martial arts film director of traditional style kung-fu action and was a pioneer in focusing on authentic martial arts techniques and training procedures in his films. This is why stars in his movies looked more like kung-fu experts rather than actors simply going through the motions. So although David Chiang had starred in over 40 films as a martial arts hero, in Shaolin Mantis, where he plays a man who learns martial arts from a praying mantis, then seeks revenge for his wife's death, the movie contains some of Chiang's best fight scenes ever. By casting his brothers Liu Chia-yung and Gordon Liu Chia-hui into the mix, Liu further ensures that the pugilistic mayhem will be even more outstanding.
The 36th Chamber of Shaolin
Etter at den unge Liu Yu-te unnslipper en massakre på sine ledsagere, mester og far av det tyranniske regimet, søker han tilflukt i et mystisk kloster. Under Shaolin-mesterens strenge øyne trener han utrettelig for å passere gjennom de 35 kamrene i Shaolin. Men for å hevne seg på morderne må han sette opp et nytt 36. kammer.
Executioners From Shaolin
Film lovers and critics went out of their way to praise this Liu Chia-liang version of the Shaolin destruction and revenge epic. Many called it the preeminent kung-fu director’s best and certainly his greatest on the theme of history, martial arts, and family. Little wonder, since, beyond the Shaolin story, it also shows how Liu’s own family style of kung-fu, Hung Fist, was created. There are unforgettable sequences throughout, highlighted by Hung Hsi-kuan (the mighty Chen Kuan-tai) and Fang Yung-chun’s (the wonderful Lily Li) wedding night … where the lovers inexorably test their Tiger and Crane kung-fu styles in a symbolic treatment of a couple’s power struggles. Almost equally unforgettable are the training sequences and a full three titanic confrontations with the White-Browed Hermit (the impressive Lo Lieh), betrayer of the Temple. The critics were right: Liu has out-done himself…as usual!
