7 Grandmasters


Legend of a Fighter


Bloodmoon


Kill a Mastermind (1979)

               Sun Chung's masterpiece that only very few fans know about.To me this is his most brutal,most action packed Wuxia compared to his other films like Avenging Eagle,Judgement of an Assassin,Human Lanterns,Rendezvous with Death.This movie has got to be focused on more villians than heroes as well.Another  reason this movie wasnt taken that serious is because the most known actor is Johny Wang Lung Wei.He plays the head chief of the Assassins.

Jade Tiger (1977)

Wrong Side of Town

 Wrong Side of Town is another low budget movie that suffers from bad acting,writing,bad choice of actors.
The film takes place in Louisiana.The dvd cover is exrtemely false advertising.Dave Bautista has about 3 or 4 scenes in the movie,and he is not the lead actor but supporting.Rob Van Dam is the protagonist.He is known for his wrestling career and other B movies he has made in the past like Superfights,Bloodmoon,Xfiles episode.
Ja rule has only one scene in the movie.His hiphop career as well as his acting career has also faded into obscurity.Omarion is also listed as well like he's a big part of the story.Not to spoil anything he also has one scene in the movie playing a thug.

 As far as the action is pretty descent.The Budget for this movie was 1,500,000 so you really cant blame it.It has some funny B rated scenes,language,hot chicks and some nice boobie shots.The fight scenes have some good Rock music so it went well in sync.Dave Bautista has a pretty good fight with an unknown martial artist thats half his size.His name is Marrece Crump.So far his career is looking good so far he's to star in the next Protector movie with Tony Jaa,so Kudos to him.

As for the storyline this is it:
Ex-Navy Seal Bobby Kalinowski lives a quiet, peaceful life as a landscape architect in an LA suburb with his wife Dawn and 16 year old daughter Brianna. Tonight they are invited out for an evening on the town by new neighbors clay and Elise Freeman to a happening club downtown. Little did they know that this would be the start of a life or death ordeal for the group. While at the club, Dawn is accosted by one of the club owners, Ethan Bordas. When Bobby intervenes and accidentally kills Ethan defending his wife, his enraged older brother, Seth, puts a one hundred thousand dollar bounty on his head. Now Bobby must escape LA while being pursued by every criminal, wise guy and thug in the city. Bobby decides to separate from his wife and neighbors and revert to his Navy Seal training to survive. To complicate matters, Seth has a corrupt police sergeant preventing Bobby from getting any help from the law.
