With the written word, it's probably impossible to give readers a true impression of this film -- but here's a try. A slightly hefty (yet often scantily-clad) female gunfighter seeks vengeance against a gang of Poliester-wearing and pompadour-sporting villains, of course, taking frequent breaks to do some energetic dancing in elaborate musical numbers. Made with equal parts; over-acting, violence and general tackiness, this is one wildly entertaining Indian western. |

Snake worshiping women are in charge of a mountain tribe, where a curse is placed on any man who leaves his wife and doesn't return. One victim's stomach swells, and when it's cut open, snakes/ leeches and centipedes pour out. As a side note, what makes this film so notorious is the demented extra who eats a number of live animals on camera -- an activity he reportedly enjoyed in real life, as well. The English-dubbed version of this film is called, Succubare. There are overlaying Korean subtitles over the burned-in English subtitles -- making the English subs sometimes difficult to read.

Wonderful Shaw Brothers wuxia / mystery film with a great cast, including Lo Lieh, Tony Liu, Shih Szu and Ti Lung -- here playing a variation of Clint Eastwood's Man with No Name. It all concerns the anniversary of a bloodbath where a heroic fighter and his clan were wiped out. The seven murderers suspect that the victim's son will arrive seeking vengeance. However, they have no idea what he looks like, so they therefore round up all the strangers in town with murder on their minds. This is another winner by my favorite director, Chu Yuan. |

To protect her lover from the demon, Ms. Mui pushes him away -- but he continues to seek her out. A sorceress called "The Pet Lady" becomes involved.

Andy Lau returns in this comedic sequel, this time starring with lovely Rosamund Kwan. Unlike the first film, Saviour of the Soul 2 is an all-out Airplane-style farce. We find Andy Lau on a beautiful, snow-covered mountain, perfecting his martial arts technique. A number of people show up, all of whom seem to be seeking some elusive, 'Virgin Ice.' Lots of fun. |

In this Cantonese version, the film follows two concurrent story lines. In one, we follow the adventures of Dr. Wai -- an Indiana Jones style explorer -- and his quest for a mystical artifact that has the power to control the world. The second plot line concerns a writer of the 'Dr. Wai' story, who works through his personal problems through his writing. Very entertaining fantasy / adventure with Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan. |

Award winning sex/comedy/fantasy film deals with a man's obsession with sex. He seeks to learn from a powerful sex-sifu, but the master says the guy's penis is too small. This leads to a demented doctor, who performs an unusual transplant. I won't spoil the surprise, but as a hint -- the donor finished third in the Kentucky Derby. The transplant scene is a classic, but there's also plenty of category-III sex to fill in the dull spots. |

This bizarre fantasy has tons of nudity, androgynous demons, and more. |
