    2.0/5

    Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

    3.5/5

    N/A

    The Rebel (2008)

    " A hard-biting martial arts and gunplay actioner from Vietnam ... a fast-moving and genuinely thrilling experience filled with visceral fighting action."

    Rotten
    2.5/5

    N/A

    Slaughter in the Snow (1973)

    " Possesses none of the charm of Zatoichi and little of the outrageousness of Lone Wolf and Cub ... is lacking in focus and momentum."

    300 (2007)

    " This is death and war as ancient poets might have imagined it, glorious and provocative ... 300 is a powerhouse actioner."

    1.5/5

    N/A

    Invisible Target (2007)

    " Sluggish, overlong Hong Kong action movie from NEW POLICE STORY director Benny Chan can be summed up in two words, epic misfire."

    N/A

    Dirty Kung Fu (1978)

    " A great showcase for the comic talents of Wong Yue and the fighting talents of Wilson Tong ... a solid kung fu comedy."

    2.5/5

    N/A

    Slice of Death (1978)

    " Low-budget knockoff of about every other movie covering the destruction of Shaolin Temple gains points for its solid casting but suffers in most other areas."

    Kung Fu Panda (2008)

    " Fighting action is as dynamic and creative as any live-action wire-fu match by Yuen Woo-ping while the story is a refreshingly simple tale."
