"Actor: Leung"

• Saw Uncut | UMD | (01/09/2005) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Adam (Leigh Whannell) wakes up in a dank room across from Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) and the body of a guy who has blown his own brains out. Not a happy place, obviously, and it gets worse when both men realise that they've been chained and pitted against one another by an unseen but apparently omniscient maniac who's screwing with their psyches as payment for past sins. Director James Wan, who concocted this grimy distraction with screenwriter Whannell, has seen Seven and any number of other arty existential-psycho-cat-and-mouse thrillers, so he's provided Saw with a little flash, a little blood, and a lot of ways to distract you from the fact that it doesn't make a whole hell of a lot of sense. Wan and Whannell (who's not the most accomplished actor, either) pile on the plot twists, which after some initially novel ideas become increasingly juvenile. Elwes works hard but looks embarrassed, and the estimable Danny Glover suffers as the obsessed detective on the case. The denouement will probably surprise you, but it won't get you back the previous 98 minutes. --Steve Wiecking

• Last Hero In China | DVD | (25/10/2010) from £5.22   |  Saving you £4.77 (91.38%)   |  RRP £9.99

  In Last Hero in China, Jet Li reprises his role as Wong Fei-Hong, a legendary figure in China. Both a doctor and a teacher of martial arts, Wong has just moved his school in Canton, only to discover that the neighbouring house is a brothel. Though Wong's students are delighted and the earnest brothel master only wants to study with him, Wong feels he has lost face. But this becomes the least of his troubles: soon he's fighting a corrupt police chief, a temple of slave-trading monks, and a deafness-causing medicine sold to children--and that's just in the first hour. Last Hero in China is a grand melodrama, featuring exaggerated heroes and villains, goofy humour and hyperbolic kung fu action. The plot takes some hard-to-follow turns, but the action is so non-stop it hardly matters. The lion vs. centipede dance/fight has to be seen to be believed, to say nothing of the priest with a floating lotus chariot and a flying claw. Jet Li is in fine form, Gordon Liu (as the venal top cop) is maniacal and despicable, and the lovely Cheung Man plays an expert martial artist looking for her kidnapped sister. The character of Wong Fei-Hong also appears in the Once Upon a Time in China series (where he was first played by Li) and in Jackie Chan's Drunken Master movies. --Bret Fetzer

• Red Trousers - The Life Of The Hong Kong Stuntmen | DVD | (19/03/2007) from £12.99   |  Saving you £-7.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Part action film part documentary 'Red Trousers' explores the lives and careers of some of the world's most undervalued professionals: the stunt men and women that contribute so much to Hong Kong cinema. Director Robin Shou a familiar face from 'Mortal Kombat' explores the ups and downs of this risky business; while much stunt work around the world (particularly in Hollywood) is created via special effects and computer animation Hong Kong action films rely on the bravery and skills of actual people. Stunt men and women working in Hong Kong films may perform purer much more dangerous stunts than their American counterparts but they are sometimes treated more or less as props and all-too-often given little or no medical attention... Difficult situations life-threatening work and gruelling training (even during childhood) are just some of the darker aspects of stunt work that Shou is keen to highlight. While the perks of such a career are seemingly nonexistent the men and women here find great joy in knowing that some of the greatest moments in films would not exist without their artistic contributions. Winner of the Outstanding Achievement In Filmmaking Award at the 2003 Newport Beach Film Festival 'Red Trousers' features an illustrious list of contributors. In addition to the incomparable Sammo Hung Lau Kar-Leung (director of 'Drunken Monkey' and the Shaw Bros classic 'Spiritual Boxer') Asian cinema expert Mike Leeder (contemporary of Bey Logan) and stuntman Jude Poyer (stunt co-ordinator on Category III movies with Wong Jing & Clarence Ford) all make appearances.
