Shanghai Express is one of the more unique of all the Hong Kong action films from this period. Great action and comedy deftly blend and Dirty Ho can be rented on Youtube, or you can pick up an English dub DVD available on Amazon. Great fight scenes are assured with any Lau Kar-Leung production but Dirty Ho has some choice scenes including Liu posing as an antique dealer bouting (ever so subtly) with a prince while the two parry and exchange attacks while discussing the merits of a Tang Dynasty Jade carving. I’ve been twiddling my thumbs for years waiting for a Dragon Dynasty release of this seminal film from masters Lau Kar-Leung, and Gordon Liu (of 36th Chamber fame) and prayers are gone on unanswered.ĭirty Ho is another great martial arts adventure comedy from the eminent duo Lau Kar Leung and Gordon Liu and demands to be seen by any self-respecting kung fu fanatic. The movie is extremely hard to come by unless you don’t mind dropping $80.00 on Amazon, but the movie can be seen in its entirety on Youtube. Pedicab Driver is one of his best titles as actor/director. For many good reasons, he’s a great fighter, wonderful choreographer, superlative actor, and above all a terrific director. Sammo Hung will appear quite a bit on this list, as he should. Directed and starring Sammo Hung, Pedicab Driver is a great vehicle for the seasoned luminary of the Hong Kong movie business, and this is one of his many great movies.Īside from the famous fight between Sammo Lau-Kar-Leung there’s also a wonderfully weird Star Wars homage where two rival pedicab drivers duke it out with florescent bulbs with light saber sound effects and all. Pedicab driver is famous among kung fu fans for two good reasons, one of those being a legendary fight scene between Sammo Hung and kung fu guru Lau Kar Leung, the other reason being it’s a great movie. Occasionally frustrating, but always rewarding when you stumble across a new title that for some reason or another that has gone unnoticed. Hong Kong was a major contender in the market of international cinema, and the bulk of these pictures were martial arts/wuxia movies. One of the great, and occasionally frustrating aspects of kung fu movies is just how many productions there are.
