Cui hua kuang mo (1993)
Don Niam made this film almost a classic
This movie could have been one of Cynthia Rothrock best movie if it had better fight scenes,more complex theme and a good partner for Cynthia like Jeff Wincott or Richard Norton.Don Niam made an Oscar performance so i don't understand why he didn't have a good career as an actor.Cynthia Rothrock is passable, she could have been great if the director have been hired an very good martial arts choreographer for this movie.I was a Lil bit disappointed by Donna Jason because i wanted her to have a bigger part in this movie.All in all it was an entertaining movie with a very big performance of Don Niam who saved this movie from obscurity.I've seen the Chinese version of this movie called BLOODY MARY KILLER but it wasn't better than UNDEFEATABLE.It has though a great beginning with Cynthia Rothrock demonstration with weapon and has a short fight between Cynthia and Robin Shou at the middle of the movie.A friend of mine gave me a version of the movie that is like UNDEFEATABLE but has that 2 cuts from BLOODY MARY KILLER thrown in making it a better movie than UNDEFEATABLE.That version of the movie is the best and deserve a 6.5/10 in my opinion.However the movie have a limited cult film status but have gained notoriety in the late years
Tiger Claws (1992)
Pretty decent
Rothrock was the best in this with her fights,acting and outfit alongside with Bolo Yeung , but she wasn't the lead, Merhi was. The problem with that was, Rothrock had all the experience and was better equipped to lead a movie and at the end of the movie it was more than OK if Rothrock had been finished Bolo in a combat fight.If Jean-Claude van Damme or even Richard Norton had been the lead male in this movie then this film had been a classic.Jalal Merhi was very awful in this unfortunately but the movie was enjoyable enough though but would have been a lot better. So i recommend you this film and if you are a Cynthia Rothrock fan you'll not be disappointed.
