• The Killer Meteors | Blu Ray | (06/06/2022) from £12.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Not to be confused with a science fiction disaster movie, KILLER METEORS is a wuxia style martial arts feature that brings two legends of the screen, JIMMY WANG YU and JACKIE CHAN together in an explosive Kung Fu cult classic. Known as Killer Meteors, local hero Mei Xing He (Jimmy Wang Yu) is invincible due to his ˜secret weapon'. However, when his services are sought by another powerful figure, Hua Wu Bin (Jackie Chan), he finds himself drawn into the deadliest challenge of his life. From the golden age of Kung Fu features, this epic movie delivers a killer plot peppered with high flying, quick as lightning fight scenes.

• Shaolin vs Lama | DVD | (25/07/2005) from £12.98   |  Saving you £-6.99 (N/A%)   |  RRP £5.99

  Originally made in 1983, Shaolin vs Lama is an example of the kung fu movie at its most cultish. The story is largely unimportant but concerns Yu Ting and his search for a kung fu master, a search that leads him into conflict with the Flying Eagle gang and their leader, Golden Wheel Lama. This is as far as it goes plotwise, not that that really matters. The focus of the film is, of course, the fight sequences and breathtaking they are too, though the whole film is given unmistakable aura of campness by its comical English dubbing. Still, it would be churlish to argue with the glowing recommendation of the Wu Tang Clan's Rza (a man who knows his kung fu stuff) of Shaolin vs Lama as one of the giants of the genre. On the DVD: filmed in a rather basic manner, Shaolin vs Lama is a colourful visual experience but not one that particularly shines on DVD. The 2.0 Dolby Digital sound gives the fight sequences an added bite but, as is so often the case, the potential of the format is frustratingly underused. There is no attempt to provide any sort of background to the film or the kung fu genre in general, instead leaving us with scene selection and the original theatrical trailer. --Phil Udell
