Do you like gladiator movies? War movies? Gangster movies? Kung fu movies? Swordfight movies? Alien invasion movies?

This is a community for any movie with a punch, a kick, a stab, a shot or an explosion, or preferably all of the above and plenty of 'em.

Everything from Armour of God to Zulu, from Above the Law to Zatoichi.

In the year 2043, an evil crime lord is trying to take over the world. Only one government official stands in his way, and plans to send him to prison. The General and his minions travel back to the year 1993 to kill the official before he has a chance to get into office. Future Cops Lung, Broom Man, Ti Man, and Ah-Sing hear of the evil plan and decide to travel back in time themselves to protect the official.

I think I'm in love! :D

Not just the YouTube trailer, but the IMDb one, too!

Strange things are afoot are the Eight-Twelve! Like a f%$king Nissan Sentra being picked up and thrown sideways through the window.

It's like hip-hop was at the time, before the lawyers got involved: sampling from as many different sources as you wanted and combining it all into one wonderful new creation, copyrights be damned!

And the cast! Peak 90s HK:

  • Andy Lau
  • Jackie Cheung
  • Aaron Kwok
  • Chingmy Yau
  • Simon Yam
  • Dennis Chan
  • Richard Ng
  • and more

Might have to adjust my ranking of time travel police movies. Sorry, Time Cop!
