What's your favorite action film from the golden era of Hong Kong cinema? Mine's gotta be 'Yes Madam!' The action choreography is some of the best of the era, the cast of characters is great, the comedy is actually funny, and for once the plot makes sense! I've never shown it to someone who hasn't enjoyed it. Also Michelle Yeoh is a total babe.

Oh, there's no doubt about that. Any actor who's been in both a great scifi flick and a movie with Jackie Chan is alright in my book. Hell, Rush Hour is a good movie. But it's not Hong Kong action. The fights are middling and it's mostly just buddy cop antics.

Yo OP, how about making this a Hong Kong Movie general. There's a lot more of Hong Kong movies outside action genre.

Good idea, I didn't know how busy this board would be so I made something a bit more specific than necessary. I hereby declare this to be a "Hong Kong Movie General". It is done. Post freely.

A general thread for Hong Kong cinema would be good too. There's a lot more here than action movies and other shlocky pieces. I highly recommend Fallen Angels to anyone who hasn't seen it already. Sometimes I feel Wong Kar Wai gets too much attention compared to more niche HK filmmakers. I just can't think up of one right now.
