The Beasts (1980) IMO one of the best CAT III horror films ever - Last House On The Left meets Deliverance & The Hills Have Eyes - The beautiful countryside & island setting are a stark contrast to the brutal & grim nature of this cult classic
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 3d ago
The 3-D Army (1989) "A evil Taoist hunchback, a 4-year-old hopping vampire/jiangshi known as "Zomby", off-road unicycling, possessed wall scrolls, bubble-blowing harlequin demons on swing sets, gallons of urine, all the flying heads, synthesized farting and laser beams a boy could ever ask for."

Woman Killers Rampage (1993) By far the best part of this Hong Kong cult obscurity is Sophia M. Crawford (The original Buffy the Vampire Slayer stuntwoman) randomly appearing for the finale alongside Japanese bodybuilder Michiko Nishiwaki, as a Taoist ghost buster!

5 Element Ninjas (1982) Sampler - From 1967's classic One-Armed Swordsman to 1982's wild 5 Element Ninjas, director Chang Cheh's stylized ultra violence helped pave the way for Hong Kong films to come
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 11d ago
Black Cat 2 (1991) "Scientists install a micro chip, called Black Cat, inside the brain of a violence prone girl named Catherine in an attempt to refine and control her fits of rage. Their plan is to turn her into the perfect government secret agent killing machine."
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 13d ago
Princess Madam (1989) One of Godfrey Ho's better films is part buddy cop, part heroic bloodshed & sees Moon Lee & Sharon Yeung kicking ass in one explosive action set-piece after another with familiar faces like Nishiwaki, Mark Houghton & Mike Abbott
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 13d ago
The Beheaded 1000 (1993) "Nonstop lighting effects, green-screened beheadings, a imp puppet, a kaiju-sized spirit, castration, a cgi dragon, cannibal meat buns, and a dope sequence with glowing green ghost spiders that sound like King Ghidorah."
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 16d ago
Green Snake (1993) "Wuxia fantasy sees two polar opposite snake goddesses attempting to learn what it is to be human - Beyond being a visual powerhouse, this is director Tsui Hark still in his prime, wielding two of Hong Kong's best actresses of their time to great effect - Maggie Cheung & Joey Wong
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 16d ago
Monkey War : New Pilgrims to the West (1982) From Chen Chun-Liang, director of rip off film Dragon Ball The Magic Begins & Child of Peach comes classic Chinese folklore done with low budget b-movie sensibilities
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 17d ago
Na Cha and the Seven Devils (1973) "The immortal Na-Cha shakes free seven magical peaches from a mystic tree in Heaven and they turn the animals who eat them down on Earth into horrible monsters. Now Na Cha and his brothers have been decreed only 10 days in which to clean up their mess on Earth."
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 19d ago
The Twelve Fairies (1990) Starring Peach Boy herself, Lin Hsiao-Lu - "A demon-master tries to defeat a young priestess who induces archetypal forces in the Chinese zodiac, the twelve animals in the form of her companions. There are monsters, spells, kung-fu, and costumes galore."
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 20d ago
Friendly Shock (1988) Taiwanese nightmare fuel... for the kiddies! Essentially a close E.T derivative but instead of befriending an alien our kids live n' learn alongside a frightening mushroom creature with a young child's face(?!)
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 20d ago
Thunderclap (1984) High energy Shaw Brothers martial arts madness - "100% my kind of nonsense. Leung plays a guy who eats a magic pigeon, gets struck by lightning, and somehow this succession of events enables him to fly and shoot electricity out of his hands like Raiden from Mortal Kombat."
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 22d ago
Child Of Peach (1987) There's something magical about Taiwan's martial arts/fantasy films covering the legend of Momotarō/Peach Boy, a super-powered child born from a peach, here played by Hsiao-Lao Lin
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 22d ago
Magic Of Spell (1988) More Taiwanese fantasy/martial arts insanity with "Peach Boy" herself, the incredibly entertaining Hsiao-Lao Lin

Why did the Shaw Brothers never make any adaptation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Esp when they were making countless film treatments of the other 4 Classic Chinese Novels during the 60s and 70s?
Having just watched a Shaw Brother movie of Water Margin and I have seen one of their Journey to the West and Dream of the Red Chamber treatments a while back. Which I didn't know they had multiple films made from the latter two which I only discovered today looking at Wikipedia.
What I have noticed from googling online and searching on Wikipedia is that a cinematic interpretation of Romance of the Three Kingdoms was never made by Shaw Bros.
Which I have to ask why? Considering the three other of the four classic novels of China have been made multiple times on films during the Shaw Brother's peak in 1960-1980?
Sure Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a much grander epic story but considering they managed to remake Journey to the West multiple times, I can't see why they couldn't make an effective condensed script of Three Kingdoms which their multiple Dream of the Red Chamber and Water Margin adaptations managed to do!

Angel Terminator (1992) A classic Hong Kong girls with guns flick packed to the gills with familiar faces - The sequel is even better!
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 25d ago
Mission Of Condor (1991) One of Hong Kong's many girls with guns films - Worth it just for Moon Lee vs Drunken Master 2's Ken Lo in a hard hitting finale action sequence (Set in a warehouse, of course)
r/HKMovies • u/LiquidNuke • 27d ago
Deadful Melody (1994) Taiwanese actress Brigitte Lin should have starred in the classic Maxell cassette tapes "Blown Away" ad, because her screen presence will blow your ass into a mist of little meat giblets - Hard hitting Hong Kong wuxia flavored martial arts fantasy

A Book Of Heroes (1986) Taiwan's premiere female fight talent of her time Loretta Yang Hui-shan (Thrilling Bloody Sword, Challenge of the Lady Ninja) & Japan's Yukari Oshima team up for some absolute top shelf action that's sadly stranded on Laserdisc
