Dead or Alive

2006 / Corey Yuen > I’m not sure if I should ever expect another Fong Sai-Yuk out of Yuen, but with The Transporter and now Dead or Alive, he’s slowly building up a reputation for directing some of the best no-nonsense martial arts/action flicks that are just great fun. The girls wear little clothing (although with smaller busts than their video game counterparts would suggest), there’s enough plot to advance the story and Eric Roberts is the bad guy. What more could you want? Oh: There’s also beach volleyball. Just the ticket for attention deficit.
