Summary: This movie made me want to asphyxiate on my own vomit.
Review: ... This movie was a glorified hack using so many trite plot elements that it made me want to drown myself in my commode. Every scene in the film made me wonder how long the script writer actually spent pondering the complexity of the screenplay. This movie was totally pitiful in many respects. Yes, the actual filming and special effects were decent, but as many others said, the "martial arts" scenes were extremely lacking in complexity and diversity. This seems like it was a movie cranked out really fast to get a bunch of famous HK actors in it to make a quick buck. If you have any dignity and self-worth, don't even think twice about renting this movie. If you buy it, you deserve to be silenced by a firing squad. Although, if you need something to get your bile flowing, maybe to expel some toxic waste you swallowed by accident, you might find this film very useful. Thank you and goodnight.

Summary: Totally dissapointing
Review: This movie has received rave reviews from almost every reviewer on multiple different HK cinema websites. It is also one of the poorest movies I have ever seen. My hands literally shook with anticipation when I saw The Storm Riders at my local video store. I had heard so much about it and when I saw that Sonny Chiba was one of the actors, I nearly lost it. Needless to say, I was quite saddened by this trashy CGI laden attempt at a martial arts flick. I thoroughly enjoyed "A Man Called Hero" which also starred Ekin Cheng because the CGI effects really enhanced the film and helped create a surreal and fascinating enviroment. In this movie the effects are so overused there technically isn't even a single fight sequence in the entire thing. Every encounter involves merely shooting strange energy balls and putting up magical shields and a whole bunch of other nonsense. Not one martial arts technique was used and even if you don't look at it as a kung fu movie, it's still terrible.

Summary: Crouching what???
Review: First off your not gonna get any crouching tiger hidden dragon references from me because other than the 4 or five great fighting sequences i didnt care for a love story, im sorry thats just me. For my money Iron monkey was a better movie and Storm riders tops the both of them. The fight scenes were plentifull and the story was just right for my taste the only problem i had was i didnt get a chance to see this movie in the theaters with the sounds blairing off the walls.

Summary: i was surprsied...
Review: alright.....Ekin Cheng is one of my favorite actor along with Chow Yun Fat, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and etc. but this movie was like too much( not in a bad way tho).the title is FungWun, which literally means wind and cloud.
Woon ( Aron Kwok) is one of those hardcore guyz that dont really show his feelings, but he's soft inside. fung( ekin cheng)....i really dont get his character in the movie but hez nice.
and there's christy( forgot her name in movie). ( if uve seen the duel, Ekin and Christy comes out as couple) who's in love with Fung and Woon. and there's one more character that uses fist. i was surprised at some of the fight sequences....they were like playing computer games...but some were very creative and crazy.
i say watch it for some acting and some action and creativity. check out duel, lil better 'real' lookin fight sequences.

Summary: Kung Fu + Anime + Star Wars = Storm Riders
Review: Storm Riders is a high-voltage martial arts epic fantasy that took a lot of risks and gambles with its special effects. The bet paid off - characters fly, shoot power balls, swing flaming swords at dragons, and rip off their own limbs. By Hollywood standards, the effects are mediocre, but don't let that discourage you,it looks great.
The Street Fighter Sonny Chiba is Conquer, lord of someting or other. He, you guessed it, conquers the land with his forcefully adopted sons Wind and Cloud. (He killed their parents because of a prophecy, etc.) Wind and Cloud feud over Conquer's daughter and split the clan. There's more, but I'll stop here. High energy anime style action throughout.
I loved this movie for its creative special effects and non-stop action. Sonny Chiba's voice is deep and resonating, he sounds great as the evil villian, a clear derivative of Darth Vader. A box office record holder in Hong Kong, Storm Riders is a real treat.

Summary: don't say you have not been warned
Review: This films is all about style and no substance. All the talented actors are wasted on something on cameos and all the pretty faces are on the screen doing absolutly nothing but showing off.
Only exception is Sonny Chiba, who is trying to give this heartless piece of celluloid some soul. I recommend only to the fans of Aaron Kwok & Ekin Cheng.

Summary: AWESOME MOVIE!!!
Review: This movie was actually a early Valentine's Day gift for my husband. We both had not seen it before, but have read a lot of good reviews on it. We watched it last night and we absolutely LOVED IT!! I think it was the BOOOMMMB movie and we love how they worked in the Anime look on some parts of the movie, but more so in the beginning and the end. Just AWESOME fighting scene's and we loved everything about it. A MUST SEE for all you martial art fans out there!!! =)

Summary: recommend for all
Review: This was an excellent moie to watch. Especially the actors who partrayed their characters to an extent of showing how real it felt as they would pursue or rather fulfill their own destiny. I really enjoyed he special effects as well and the great actors and also the director and producer who made this film. it's a very inspirational film that would make you feel the pain and sorrow that was being confronted by the character. You should really watch this movie

Summary: Pretty good
Review: This film is pretty good, the action is well done, and the special effects are good. This being said they tended to overuse the special effects. The last fight is really pretty boring with all three guys just shooting light out of thier hands, no real hand to hand combat at the end was kind of disapointing. This movie is very well put togeather, it has a good story, good special effects and the action is good as well. Overall I like this film just wish it had a little more hand to hand fighting and a little less colors shooting out of everyone's hands. People have said that the two main characters are too pretty but I believe they pull off their roles nicely as Wind and Cloud. I recomend this movie, but there are better Hong Kong action movies, like Iron Monkey, Tai Chi Master, and the Once upon a time in China series, also Fire Dragon and Dragon Inn these are all better films.

Summary: watch out mortal kombat
Review: This is a very good movie. If you like Anime and Kung-fu flicks, chances are you will like Storm Riders. The story was put together real well, you care about the characters, and the special effects are top notch.
