Tsui Hark and Ching Siu-ting spin this adventure yarn inspired by old Hollywood adventure serials. Set in the 1930s when China's last emperor Puyi allies himself with the invading Japanese army, the film centers on aged though wily Dr. Choy (Dean Shek) vows to lend his experience and his medical expertise to the resistance. He teams up with the luckless Lieutenant Mang (Paul Chu Kong) whose ragtag army needs all the help it can get. After a hair-raising encounter with spy WO-1 (Fennie Yuen), the force decide to take out a chemical weapons factory located deep in Japanese held Manchuria and run by the evil Masa (Tony Leung Kar-fai) and legendary secret agent Yoshiko Kawashima (Joyce Godenzi). Corey Yuen and Jacky Cheung also star. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Following up on his 1989 masterpiece The Killer, superstar action director John Woo directs this emotionally wrenching look at three friends waylaid in war-torn Vietnam. Set in 1967, when clashes between leftists protesting British rule and the police were tearing the colony apart, the film opens with Frank (Jacky Cheung Hok-yau) offering the deed to his parents' home as collateral to a loan shark, so that he can pay for his buddy Ben's (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) wedding party. Unfortunately, Frank is ambushed by a thug named Ringo and his associates who make off with the money. Ben and Frank vow revenge and end up accidentally killing the guy. Wanted by both the law and the triads, Frank, Ben, and their pal Paul (Waise Lee Chi-hung) head for Vietnam with a case of fake Rolexes and dreams of making a quick buck. Immediately upon arrival, those dreams are dashed -- their wares are blown up in a tin-can military coup, they are almost shot by the South Vietnamese army, and their passports are seized. Though tempted to throw in the towel, Frank and Ben are convinced by Paul into joining forces with shady hit man named Luke (Simon Yam Tat-wah) to shake down club owner Leong (Lam Chung). The scheme goes horribly wrong, ending with the death of a beautiful drug-addled singer named Sally (Yolinda Yan Chi-sin) and our three heroes accused of being CIA agents in a North Vietnamese POW camp. Later, though, Frank saves Paul's live and get injured in the process, Paul can only think of financial gain and saving his own neck. He shoots Frank in the head when he fears his friend's cries of agony will tip off the Vietcong. Unfortunately, the bullet doesn't kill Frank, leaving him brain damaged, drug-addled, and in chronic pain. After Ben learns of Frank's condition, he confronts Paul who has since returned to Hong Kong to become a prominent businessman. John Woo was originally planning to make this film under the name A Better Tomorrow 3 until Tsui Hark took the franchise away from him, fashioning his own version. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi

Before he made his erotic cult classic Sex and Zen, Michael Mak Dong-kit directed this wacky teen comedy. Cannon (Raymond Wong Pak-ming) is an irascible door-to-door salesman who after a bizarre series of incidents winds up trapped on a deserted island with a group of beautiful girl scouts. Though their den mother (Teresa Carpio) instantly dislikes the guy, a few of the scouts -- Fanny (Fennie Yuen Kit-ying) May (May Lo Mei-mei) and Jane (Loletta Lee Lai-chun) in particular -- takes a shine to Cannon, helping him not freeze or starve on the islands harsh climate. Later, fearsome gorillas, famished crocodiles, carnivorous plants, pirates and drug runners all make life complicated for the castaways. ~ Jonathan Crow, Rovi
