Invasion of the Neptune Men (1961)
Nov 3, 2008Alien Invasion/Japanese Space Opera
A Japanese SF film with Sonny Chiba as superhero fighting off alien invaders. This has a tatty cheapness that takes it well and truly places into bad movie territory.

The Storm Riders (1998)
Sep 24, 1999Flying Swordsmen Fantasy
A solid variant on the Hong Kong flying swordsman genre that contains some epic plotting This is the point where the Wu Xia film discovered CGI effects
The Legend of the Flying Swordsman (2000)
Feb 2, 2001Hong Kong Swordsmen Fantasy
A forgettable entry in Hong Kong's Wu Xia cycle that suffers from an overly confusing plot and crucially much in the way of flying swordplay
