A thread/general for discussing the output (both good and bad) of one of the best and most prolific action movie generators ever: 20th century Hong Kong.

What's your favorite action film from the golden era of Hong Kong cinema? Mine's gotta be 'Yes Madam!' The action choreography is some of the best of the era, the cast of characters is great, the comedy is actually funny, and for once the plot makes sense! I've never shown it to someone who hasn't enjoyed it. Also Michelle Yeoh is a total babe.

Oh, there's no doubt about that. Any actor who's been in both a great scifi flick and a movie with Jackie Chan is alright in my book. Hell, Rush Hour is a good movie. But it's not Hong Kong action. The fights are middling and it's mostly just buddy cop antics.

 

Yo OP, how about making this a Hong Kong Movie general. There's a lot more of Hong Kong movies outside action genre.

 

Good idea, I didn't know how busy this board would be so I made something a bit more specific than necessary. I hereby declare this to be a "Hong Kong Movie General". It is done. Post freely.
