Hong Kong Cinema

Blab about your favorite or not so favorite HK films here.

I really want to watch the movie Reservoir Dogs ripped off, City On Fire. I have probably seen every John Woo/Chow Yun-Fat movie so seeing Chow in another highly regarded hk crime film sounds like the new logical step for me. I am not sure if the sequels are any good. I also hear God of Gamblers is another good Chow flick.

Let's See:

Hardboiled
The Killer
A Better Tomorrow
Drunken Master
Drunken Master 2/Legend of Drunken Master
Police Story
Ip Man
Ip Man 2
God of Cookery
Kung-Fu Hustle
Shaolin Soccer

And, that's about as much as I know about HK cinema. I really need to watch more movies from there.
