Dian tang lang (1980)
One of the best
One of the best old school kung fu flicks ever. Watch for the "eating scene" at the end. You will not forget this flick! Lots of these action sequences are being co opted by new filmmakers (see: Matrix,Charlie's Angels, Crouching Tiger....) as if they are something new. These fight scenes have been around for some time in Chinese martial arts films, and this film is at the head of the class. Compares favorably to "Shaolin Vs. Ninja". EXCEPTIONAL!RIVETING!
American Playhouse: Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (1983)
bad film script+ bad video quality=DISASTER!
Back in the 80's, it wasn't a very good idea to shoot feature films on video tape. The problem was and to some extent still is, video makes anything look like a bad daytime soap opera. Besides an awful script, and a major career guffaw by Raul Julia, the video quality of this "feature" is abhorrent, irritating, and only makes the awful script that much more evident. The "Whiz-bang" computer special effects of the post-Tron, pre-Matrix era just don't cut it. My favorite scene is the "tension filled" chase through the "Turkish" neighborhood. Lights! Explosions! Bottom of the barrel acting! Poorly lit scenes!Ripping-off of the themes of Casablanca! Wait, why am I wasting my time reviewing this garbage! You have no reason to view this film, unless you're watching MST3K! Find something else to do kids, this is a sure fire trip to projectile vomiting! BARF!

Die Hard 2 (1990)
heads and shoulders above other terrorist flicks
When a film surpasses its predecessor, it's simply a work of commercial and artistic genius. Even more amazing is that now we know the studio didn't even want Willis to star in the first flick! Need I say more? Much better than the incoherent and unconnected part 3....I hear part 4 is in the works....
