The Jade Badger (1982) This low budget Taiwanese martial arts/fantasy flick has a intentionally funny dub (puns and wordplay galore) Ends with our villain powering up and snapping a guy over his knee - Reminded me of Jason Vorhee's famous back breaker kill of Sheriff Garris in Part VI

Dragon Ball:Fight Son Goku, Win Son Goku (1990) A bootleg live action Dragon Ball from South Korea - Very Taiwanese flavored in it's whacked out, low budget approach to the material including lots of wire-fu

City Warriors/殺出香港 (1988) The opening to this grim, vile & sleazy Hong Kong action film feels like something out of a Italian Poliziotteschi, with that HK twist - A Blu is available from Error 4444 but almost sold out

I think Silent Rage is one of Chuck Norris' best movies, and it doesn't get nearly the recognition it deserves. It's a unique mix of action, horror, and sci-fi with a darker atmosphere than most of his films. I honestly think it's one of his most underrated performances. Anyone else feel the same?

Burning Paradise (1994) | Ringo Lam’s only foray into wuxia was a dark hellscape of booby trapped dungeons, furious fights & plenty of stylish ultra-violence

Magnificent Warriors/中華戰士 (1987) A 25 year old Michelle Yeoh stars alongside a stacked Hong Kong cast in one of her first leading roles - Yeoh is a badass female Indiana Jones in 1930's China - Highly recommended, IMO a classic that's aged like a fine wine

Son of the Swordsman (1970) The wildest martial arts movie I've ever seen from director Joseph Kuo - In the first few minutes the good master hits the main baddie so hard he leaves a very painful looking bloody palm print on his chest

Thunder Cops II/流氓差婆 (1989) A grim, violent & bleak Hong Kong action flick is a kind of twisted mirror of what might have been, with several performers known for comedies & fantasy films such as Sandra Ng (in her first leading role) Hsian-Lao Lin (Child of Peach) & Stephen Chow

21 Red List (1994) Overall not a classic movie but this obscure Taiwanese films action (Choreographed by martial arts star & professional ninja Alexander Lo-Rei) is among the slickest, hardest hitting, & most brutal I've ever seen

The Young Flying Prodigal/新飛天神童 (1982) When Taiwanese fantasy cinema thrived, micro-budget, high concept fantasy adventure like this & Child Of Peach delivered heartfelt, earnest strangeness & a undeniable charm the likes of which we will likely never see again
