Fung yu seung lau sing (1976)
An amazing heirarchy of martial-arts experts makes this film interesting.
It's not the best movie ever made, but I recommend this one for martial arts fans who watch their kung-fu for the fighting, and the characters, as I like to sometimes. There is this incredible heirarchy of experts, which gets more compelling as the movie goes on. From the three fighters in the beginning who are good enough to break rocks, to the best fighters in the world, we get a look at the whole gamut. Half of them seem to be better than any fighter from most other movies, and the other half amaze you with how much better than the rest of the people they are!
Most kung-fu movies have one or two really great fighters, and they end up fighting in the end. But this one has a dozen or so, and I really get excited when I think about just how bad these guys are.
Shakes the Clown (1991)
"Shakes" Epitomizes the Genre
A friend of mine once suggested that "Shakes the Clown"
was the "Gone with the Wind of alcoholic clown movies" and I am forced to concur with him! This movie is amazing; it has everything: romance, redemption, violence, humor, suspense: you name it! Not even Robin Williams can ruin this movie; it was destined for greatness...
