Asian Action Cast

Sammo Hung’s self-directed and self-starring 1989 tragi-ballad, Pedicab Driver, mixes young love and heartbreak with the biggest bone crunching Hong Kong action choreography on film. Featuring Sammo’s trademark all-star ensemble cast, this is as good as old school action cinema gets.

The crew watch the 1977 cult psychedelic horror comedy House, directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. Not a huge amount of action in this one, barring some crazy stuff pulled off by best girl Kung Fu.

But it's Halloween and it's a goddamned classic that a number of us hadn't seen.

New time we will be back to the usual fisticuffs.

The AAC crew take a trip through space and time via 1992's The Cat. One of the many "Wisely" films based on the writings of Hong Kong novelist Ni Kuang. Waise Lee stars as our hero 'Wisely' (naturally!) who befriends the mysterious Alien played by mega idol Gloria Yip.

Are black cats bad luck? Can the 'aliens' find their way back home? Do dogs know kung fu? How many people die in this movie? Join us and find out!

Jet Li and Jackie Cheung turn up the heat in a High Risk game of cat and mouse with a devious mastermind, in a desperate move to avoid total Meltdown. Wong Jing’s 1995 blockbuster thinly veiled Die-Hard clone and Jackie Chan critique is pure octane!

Takuma Tsurugi - a name of infamy that strikes both fear and spontaneous arousal in whoever he touches and leaves you wanting more. In honour of the enigmatic and irrepressable Shinichi Sonny Chiba we salute his memory. Forever preserved in Shigergiro Ozawa's 1974 masterpiece, The Street Fighter. Clash! Killer Fist!

We watch the Battousai rise become a legend of the Meji Restoration, fall in love, grow a Daikon, then fight a bunch of ninjas. The last movie in live action adaptations of Rurouni Kenshin it’s also a prequel, so a good place to start if you want to get into the series. Directed by Keishi Ōtomo and starring Takeru Satoh.

This 2020 Teddy Chan directed fantasy flick stars Henry Lau and Peter Ho. A hero on an epic quest, with action and drama!

Lau Kar Leung and Gordon Liu bring you this 1978 Shaw Brothers Classic...Heroes of the East. Some couple arguments can lead to broken crockery - but this couple's arguments leads to international battle of Shaolin vs. Ninja's!

Japan's 1988 cult mega hit CYBER NINJA slashes his way into the Asian Action Cast. Not man, not machine, but all Ninja - it's what happens if Star Wars had a baby with Ninja Scroll and Power Rangers combined, but, like, 1000% better.

Sammo Hung's 1987 blockbuster vietnam war piece takes Hong Kong action to the jungles of Thailand. Starring almost every notable Yuen bro. (with only one notable exception); and, the late, great Killing Fields oscar winner Dr. Haing Samnang Nor himself.
