Chow Yun-Fat - The Greatest of All Time |

Undoubtedly the best action movie there is. A touching story about friendship and loyalty with a ridiculously high body count and few of the most breath-taking action sequences you'll ever see.
Nosoki's rating:
When it comes to the terms of acting, Mabel Cheung's masterpiece is Chow Yun-Fat's finest moment. He shares perfect chemistry with his co-star Cherie Chung in this Hong Kong Film Awards winner.
Nosoki's rating:
Not that much of a Chow Yun-Fat movie, since he isn't at the center of things all the time. If you're only looking for a Chow Yun-Fat experience, you might want to pass this one. Still a visually stunning beautiful piece of art on its own behalf.
Nosoki's rating:
This completely insane comedy has you laughing for hours after the end credits.
Nosoki's rating:
Great action sequences, especially in the latter half.
Nosoki's rating:
The action is great and the movie focuses quite a lot on the plot and the characters in a way that is typical for Woo.
Nosoki's rating:
One of Chow's finest roles. The movie has some great acting, especially for a Hong Kong movie.
Nosoki's rating:
The cast could not be better here. Chow, Cora Miao and Cherie Chung all shine and really blow the viewer away.
Nosoki's rating:
Pretty normal humor for a Hong Kong comedy if you're used to fast editing and completely insane randomness. Has some pretty nice Chinese opera sequences and manages to be really funny.
Nosoki's rating:
Lots of insane humor and really breath-taking action sequences involving chainsaws.
Nosoki's rating:
Has this "in your face" cool attitude that is so over-the-top that it works. Ann Bridgewater's dance scenes are a joy.
Nosoki's rating:
Has perhaps the sickest humor in any Chow Yun-Fat movie so this one is greatly recommended. CYF jumps around in a pineapple suit.
Nosoki's rating:
A well-written drama where the murder of a friend creates a painful love triangle. The movie doesn't focus on the murder at all but on the characters and how they react to it. The movie has some great acting from Tony Leung and the female leads. Chow Yun-Fat's detective character is a bit out of place at first but he gets a lot better near the end.
Nosoki's rating:
This comedy has ghosts, werewolves, suicide humor and some things that you just can't figure out. Has some serious moments that actually play really well.
Nosoki's rating:
Interesting gambling sequences, completely retarded humor, solid action scenes and a Hong Kong all-star cast make the two hours fly by. Chow Yun-Fat as a penis cutter is one of the greatest things ever.
Nosoki's rating:
Pretty good acting and a great story carry this movie that was for some time the last one Chow made in Hong Kong.
Nosoki's rating:
A great sequel with good action and gambling scenes. Elvis Tsui's police captain character is hilarious, Chingmy Yau always a big plus and Tony Leung Ka Fai is AWESOME! The humor is as funny as in the first part.
Nosoki's rating:
Chow is only the story's narrator here, but the movie is great.
Nosoki's rating:
A nice action movie that gave Quentin Tarantino the idea for Reservoir Dogs. I must admit that Tarantino's vision is better in everything.
Nosoki's rating:
The first half isn't that good, but the movie is worth seeing for the end battle alone.
Nosoki's rating:
Has some really naïve drama that is actually quite funny because it doesn't work at all in the way it is supposed to. Has scenes where monks chase a running flower pot or whack a young child with a stick. Great fun.
Nosoki's rating:
Chow fights a cat man with a traffic light, so it isn't even possible to miss this one.
Nosoki's rating:
Has one of the most hilarious rape scenes in the history of cinema.
Nosoki's rating:
Great action, but otherwise pretty forgettable.
Nosoki's rating:
Has some great stunts and action. Look out for vans that really hit the stuntmen in action sequences.
Nosoki's rating:
The weakest of the trilogy but still pretty good. The ending has a powerful message and it's pretty obvious that Tsui Hark tried to do his Bullet in the Head here.
Nosoki's rating:
Is so awful that you'll become angry watching it, but has really insane robot humor and some extra goodies for people who hate Eric Tsang so it's hard to hate this movie.
Nosoki's rating:
Chow and his buddies steal tiger feces from the zoo to escape from their home. The movie also has a western chef named is Gay Wai who likes to squeeze men's asses. It's a shame that the movie is way too long because it gives really good laughs.
Nosoki's rating:
Has a great final battle and is worth buying because of it.
Nosoki's rating:
Pretty solid action movie but also a forgettable one.
Nosoki's rating:
Has potential for more but doesn't use all of it. Andy Lau's character doesn't get enough time on screen.
Nosoki's rating:
The first half is really boring but the end is pretty good.
Nosoki's rating:
Has a good story but some awful over-acting pretty much ruins it.
Nosoki's rating:
Nowhere near the first part. Chow's character has been pussified here and the absence of Tony Leung is noticeable.
Nosoki's rating:
The reason I think this is Chow's best Hollywood movie is that Mark Wahlberg doesn't annoy at all in this one. And that is a merit that should be glorified.
Nosoki's rating:
Chow and Foster are good, Tom Felton is awful. The movie is too long to be interesting all the time.
Nosoki's rating:
The beginning is pretty cool but I couldn't care less about the rest of the movie.
Nosoki's rating:
Bad humor and awful action scenes ruin the movie.
Nosoki's rating:
You'd expect CYF to star in this one since he takes up 40% of the DVD cover, but he is in this movie for about 2 minutes. Overall this is a boring and badly done HK-action with one interesting thing: One of those background goons from nearly all of Hong Kong movies of the 80s, Fui On-Shing, is in the leading role.
Nosoki's rating:
Chow Yun-Fat is no martial artist so he shouldn't have tried to be in a martial arts movie. A real waste of potential since the movie has Chow AND Cherie Chung.
Nosoki's rating:
Tries to be too Grand and is only boring. A real waste of Chow and Gong Li's talents.
Nosoki's rating:
Chow's part in this is only to be in some of the clips in the document. A real waste of time since it spoils some ending scenes from well known Hong Kong movies and doesn't actually give any information to the viewer.
