Can que (1978)
This is not really RETURN OF THE FIVE DEADLY VENOMS
Any serious fan knows this as either CRIPPLED AVENGERS or MORTAL COMBAT. We need to find some better artwork to associate the image more correctly. It's actually a pretty good film, featuring some amazing action sequences and everybody's favorite 70s visual tropes (zooms, extreme close-ups, etc.). It was recently re released on DVD as part of the Shaw Brothers collection. The plot's a classic with the four heroes all being crippled in one way or another by a Manchu (?) warlord, and the foursome learning to work together despite their handicaps to fight back. Faces and style will be familiar to fans of the 5 Deadly Venoms as it's by the same director and features much of the same cast.
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)
Almost redeems the others....
THIS is the ONE movie that should have been made as a prequel to the classic trilogy. The single best opening shot in the series opens into an eye-popping space battle that delivers action, gravitas and even humor within its opening five minutes. Things seem tightened up -- even just the shot scale is more intimate than previous prequels. Performances are better and the VFX artists keep improving on Yoda (it makes me WANT them to go back to the previous 2 prequels and digitally enhance him). Oh yes, and I think I even CARED about Anakin in this one (though still not so much about his forbidden romance with Padme). I think it is a bit difficult to go all out and say it's a home run, but I'll take this triple over any of Lucas's previous fouls with the prequels.
Jing zhuang nan xiong nan di (1997)
wacky Spoof of Wong kar wai
You'll probably laugh, but you might not have gotten the object of satire by reading the subtitles, which is why I have provided this summary. I'm pretty sure Wong Jing was involved in this -- in fact one of the characters is Wong Jing as a young man. If you are a die hard Wong Kar Wai fan, you will laugh when you watch this film.
"Those Were the days" speculates on what would happen if a hot international art house director (a.k.a. WKW) were transported back in time to the 1960s Hong Kong film industry. Highlights include: WKW meets Wong Jing as a child and profoundly influences career; WKW attempts to make his kind of films with the resources, talent, and expectations of 1960s HK filmmakers, and a lot of other Hong Kong /Wong Jing style zaniness.
