Hong Kong film junk and other nonsense from a N.Y. gwailo
I didn't think these movies were excellent :( (but I never saw #3). My thought after watching #1 and #2 was: these are just a bunch of action scenes that they had to try to write a story around.
ReplyDeleteYes, some of the action is memorably awesome! But action without meaning is always second rate, to me...
Really? I enjoyed all 3 quite a bit. I am biased though. I feel that the majority of HK action is meaningless and it's just part of their film culture and is shoved into every genre imaginable to satisfy film goers.
