Summary: Beware The Arena Titles
Review: I have to get the word out there to warn the public about these arena titles. They are trying to bank off of the American Success of John Woo, Chow Yun Fat and Jet Li. Let me review them in a few steps. #1. Some of the titles aren't even John Woo or Chow Yun Fat films. The one called 'Hong Kong Corruptor' (banking off the success of the Corruptor), is actually an Alan Tam film entitled 'Return Engagement' (a better tomorrow ripoff) with an unrelated Chow Yun Fat scene from another film pointlessly edited in. This one 'Hong Kong Face Off' (key words FACE OFF), i cannot place. I know John Woo's filmography and I can't place this one (if anyone can tell me the real title, please mail me). John Woo's directorial debut 'Hand Of Death' was released on Arena home video as 'Strike Of Death', and banks more on the apperance of Jackie Chan (only a minor character in the film, but takes over the cover of the box). so all in all, point #1- the films don't really match. #2- Extremely poor quality. I purchased 'Strike Of Death, and master copy it was from must have been warped. The picture quality was horrbile. Another one I bought 'Shanghai Killer' was a HK tv movie called 'The Bund'. this one was just cheesy tv fare, with nothing good but the laughs. Another was an early CYF film called 'Blodd money' under another title, which had subtitles, but the film was a pan and scan version, so the subtitles were totally chopped off throughout the whole film, leaving it indecipherable. The only one purchased that was decent quality and a fun movie to own was under the Arena title 'Killers Two', which was pawning itself off as a sequel to the killer (how?). It is actually a very early 80's film called 'Heroic Cops', with a stickly thin Yun-Fat, and Danny lee sporting flare pants and horrid haircuts. This film is only good for unintentional laughs, and the Cantonese Version of 'Stayin' Alive"! All in all, Beware these Arena Titles. I stopped buying them. It's better to get the HK version.
