Been watching a lot of these on Netflix recently and need some recommendations. What I've seen so far: Drug War The Good, the Bad, and the Weird The Man From Nowhere both The Raid movies Man of Tai Chi Infernal Affairs Oldboy Stuff I have in the queue: Red Cliff Ong-Bak Lady Vengeance Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Kundo Outrage and Beyond Outrage Most of these are Korean, I guess? Anyway, need more like this stuff. I have Netflix and Amazon Prime, so preferably stuff that's on either of those services. |

You might dig Snowpiercer. It's a South Korean produced sci-fi action movie with both Asian and Anglo actors. |

I've seen it, actually. I know opinions are divisive, but I liked it until I started thinking about it. So I stopped doing that. Best way to watch it is to just watch it without trying to pick it apart at the same time, I think. Throwing out a general recommendation for Red Cliff. Awesome movie. Apparently the version on Netflix isn't even the whole movie either. |

It's not an instant classic or anything, but I enjoyed it once I decided I didn't care that the premise is pretty stupid. |

I, too, have seen most on the list. I would highly recommend 'sympathy for lady vengeance'. while it is not an all out action movie, it is creepy little story with a great twist. good luck. |

Sha Po Lang (Killzone). Has Donnie Yen, and Sammo Hung. It's pretty badass. Crying Fist. Not an action movie, but it has the star of Old Boy in it. And it's a boxing movie of sorts. Great movie, and the boxing match at the end is great. A Bittersweet Life. About a cocky, young, gangster that pisses off the wrong guy, gets punished, and then goes after him. Ong Bak 2. More of the same as the first one. |
