Films for Friday 4

'Outlaw Brothers' Lovely 80's Hong Kong action film where everyone fights in Pringle style golf sweaters, smashing each other over the head with their giant mobile phones. Yukari Oshima is the bad ass style police woman tracking smugglers with the help of a car thief. At the end she gets to beat up loads of villainous white guys in some excellent fight scenes.
'Tiger on the Beat' starts out as a very comedy-style police drama but gets really vicious after half way. It's got Chow Yun Fat in it being cool and ends with a great chainsaw martial art battle to the death, need I say any more...
'Chinese Untouchables' is a very depressing film. It's more or less a remake of 'The Untouchables' but try and imagine that where the Al Capone character wins and rides off scot free into the sunset while all the good characters lie on the floor dying in a pool of blood. 'You can never win' he laughs as he walks happily off. I sometimes think I would like to see a film where the baddies win, but in the end they are just very grim when you watch one.

Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Biao - Dragons Forever

I watched this tonight for the first time in years. It has an awesome end battle in a warehouse which makes you feel very sorry for the stuntmen.

My copy is subtitled very oddly into English. The best bit is at the very end of the film where a reflective Sammo Hung turns to camera and says wisely 'And you thought I was gabby bag. Wake up kids!'

Could this be the best last line in cinema?
