  • Once Upon A Time In China 3 (1993)
    Review preview for Once Upon A Time In China 3

    What you're watching the film for is the fighting scenes, and they don't disappoint.

  • Seven Swords (2005)
    Review preview for Seven Swords

    There is undoubtedly a need, if not a demand, for action movies in our society, but ones as skilfully shot and put together as Seven Swords infuriate as much as they delight.

    A 17th century band of swordsmen defend villagers from murderous gang
  • The Swordsman (1990)
    Review preview for The Swordsman

    It can be hard to keep tabs on the various characters and factions and their relationships with one another... but this is perhaps part and parcel of the process of adapting any multi-volume fantasy epic.

    Keith Hennessey Brown · 3 out of 5
    Martial arts action extravaganza in the style of the Hong Kong greats.
  • Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain (1983)
    Review preview for Zu Warriors From The Magic Mountain

    It's not that Zu Warriors lacks substance, rather its message - 'The new generation must step up to take the place of the old' - and similar obvious, if true, homilies tend to be obscured by the flying swordsmen, pyrotechnics and other FX work.

    Keith Hennessey Brown · 4 out of 5
    Martial arts fantasy set in Fifth Century China.
