Movies starring James Hong

Flower Drum Song (1961)

133 mins     Comedy, Musical, Romance      

I am pretty sure that if anyone decided to remake 1961 musical "Flower Drum Song" the story would be completely rewritten because by today's political correct standards this is a movie full of offensive stereotypes. It's mean...

Blade Runner (1982)

117 mins     Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

When it comes to movies there are some genres I love and some which I just like and as a rule sci-fi is one that I just like. Maybe because as I child I wasn't a huge reader, maybe it was that I was happy with "Star Wars" and...

Missing in Action (1984)

101 mins     Action , Adventure , Drama      

As shells goes off around them Colonel Braddock and a soldier run through a jungle and when one of them shoots the enemy the other gives a nod and a big thumbs up. It is so cheesy it is ridiculous but in a strange way isn't t...

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

99 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

I am probably in the minority when it comes to John Carpenter's "Big Trouble in Little China" because whilst it's entertaining with its rollercoaster ride of action, adventure and comedy I also find it a little dull. The trou...

The Golden Child (1986)

94 mins     Action , Adventure , Comedy      

The thing about "The Golden Child" is that if you approach it expecting a mystical adventure movie first and a comedy second you are going to end up disappointed. Because in reality "The Golden Child" is a comedy and one whic...

Revenge of the Nerds II: Nerds in Paradise (1987)

98 mins     Comedy      

When I reviewed "Revenge of the Nerds" I mentioned that despite the familiarity of the storyline it was still entertaining. What I should have also mentioned is that "Revenge of the Nerds" was fun with some clever humour wher...

Black Widow (1987)

102 mins     Crime, Thriller      

Back in the late 80s when I first watched "Black Widow" it seemed so good, an erotic thriller with a sexy woman seducing and killing men. Heck I was a teenager and to be honest the eroticism, Theresa Russell getting naked and...

Tango & Cash (1989)

104 mins     Action , Comedy, Crime      

It maybe a cliche but sometimes less is more and directors Andrey Konchalovskiy and Albert Magnoli should have followed that advice when it comes to "Tango & Cash". You see "Tango & Cash" is a good movie, okay so it's a run o...

Wayne's World 2 (1993)

95 mins     Comedy      

Wayne's World 2 - Wayen has women trouble whilst a visit in a dream from Jim Morrison leads him to set up Wayne Stock...

The Secret Agent Club: Hulk Hogan stars as a secret spy who ends up captured by the bad guys and needs his son and his friends to save him...

Totally Awesome (2006)

93 mins     Comedy, TV Movie      

So the pitch is that VH1 stumbled upon a movie which was made back in 1986 but due to the production company going bankrupt went undiscovered for 20 years. The reality is "Totally Awesome" is a spoof of 80s movies, picking st...

Balls of Fury (2007)

87 mins     Comedy, Sport      

It makes me wonder what sort of mind can come up with the idea of taking "Enter the Dragon" and "Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story" as well as elements of "The Karate Kid" and turning them into a movie about Ping Pong. It's an insa...

An Accidental Christmas (2007)

90 mins     Comedy, Family, Romance, TV Movie      

Movie Review - An Accidental Christmas (2007) Cynthia Gibb and David Millbern star as a separated couple whose kids try to get them back together during a Christmas break at the beach house...

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

104 mins     Drama, Sci-Fi, Thriller      

I had only seen the 1951 version of sci-fi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still" once when I watched the remake, but it left an impression on me as it wasn't just sci-fi nonsense, it had a message about mankind and peace. I...

Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)

91 mins     Action , Adventure , Animation      

I was pleasantly surprised by the first "Kung Fu Panda" but that didn't stop me feeling sceptical about a sequel as so many animations ends up churning out inferior sequels because a young audience is easier to please. Fortun...

Trinity Goodheart (2011)

90 mins     Drama, TV Movie      

Movie Review - Trinity Goodheart (2011) Erica Gluck stars as 12 year old Trinity who decides she needs to reunite her fragmented family but finds it easier said than done...

Safe (2012)

94 mins     Action , Crime, Thriller      

I hope the synopsis to "Safe" makes sense and that you can see it is not that complicated as you won't think that is the case when you start watching. Writer and director Boaz Yakin chooses to start the movie with a disjointe...

The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone (2013)

97 mins     Adventure , Family, Fantasy      

I remember back at the start of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" a scene featuring River Phoenix as young Indy being chased through a train. In a way "The Lost Medallion: The Adventures of Billy Stone" could have worked w...
