Human Lanterns
6.6/10
This is it: one of the most talked about cult films ever made -- a maniacal masterpiece of the macabre, the martial arts, and the just plain weird. Shaw's first international star Lo Lieh stars as the insane swordsman who makes Chinese lamps from, yes, the skin of his enemies' sisters, mistresses, and wives. Although insanely conceived, it is beautifully filmed and unashamedly performed by a first rate cast of sexy starlets and kung-fu favorites.
Crocodile Fury
5.2/10
Witch Monica has the power to resurrect vampire that can destroy everything that exists on earth. The situation worsens when Monica starts working with Cooper, the master of the seas. Cooper sends man-eating crocodiles also capable of taking human form to create chaos. Only Jack, an honest man, can end the horrific killings. This Tomas Tang production steals a bunch of footage from the Thai film Krai Thong 2 (1985).
Devil's Dynamite
3.7/10
After spending ten years in prison Steven Cox has recently been released and his former colleagues will do anything to find out where he stashed his fortune. His former mistress now rules the underworld and she plays the various fractions against each other to maintain her power. One of the local drug lords has hired vampires to protect him and keep his drug smuggling business thriving. The vampires pop up around town as they, along with various other thugs, try to knock off Steven Cox and find the whereabouts to his gold. There is a stranger in town that dresses up like a space age super hero who aligns himself with Steven Cox as they take on together the corrupt underworld. A cut n paste movie that uses footage from The Stunning Gambling (Taiwan) and Giant of Casino (HK).
Pursuit of a Killer
5.6/10
This is one of those -"who did it" -murder movies put out by Shaw Brothers. In this one, a bunch of Mainlanders come to Hong Kong for a better life. Instead, these Mainlanders are jobless and wind up killing, robbing, and selling drugs for a Dai Lo. Tired of getting chicken scratch from their Dai Lo for all the work they've done, the Mainlanders (about 4 or 5) decide to do a big job for themselves by trying to rob a jewelry store. The heist goes awry with all the Mainlanders being apprehended by the HKRP. They all to go to jail and do their time and get discharged. Once out, the Mainlanders are getting "rubbed off" one by one and the HKRP do not have a clue. Luckily, one member, Yeh Hung (Lo Meng), of the Mainlander gang is still in jail who still has time. So, Inspector Wong (Jason Pai Piao) decides to cut Yeh Hung loose and let him walk the streets as bait to bring the killer out.
The Vampire Is Still Alive
3.7/10
A screenwriter working on a film script in an old haunted house unleashes an army of the undead including a robot-vampire and a Freddy Kruger-like creature with deadly scissorhands.
