	British character actor Statham is latest star 'transported' into action genre
		It's an intriguing premise, and director (and legendary Hong Kong action choreographer) Cory Yuen starts off the movie with a promising bang as the Transporter's delivery of a band of Nice bank robbers turns into a blistering demolition derby on the Grand Corniche.
		Unfortunately, it's pretty much downhill from there as a cartel of international smugglers decides to rub out the Transporter and the movie turns into one long, numbing action sequence made up mostly of routine stuff Yuen has given us before.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- KISS ME KATE
		However, director George Sidney and choreographer Hermes Pan invigorated the MGM adaptation of KISS ME KATE with lively staging- some of which was intended for the film’s intended 3D showings.
		Because KISS ME KATE is a show within a show and primarily stage bound, there was a potential for the action to stagnate.
		Speaking of dancing, Hermes Pan’s choreography is uniformly excellent; plus for the film’s finale Pan allowed featured dancers Tommy Rall, Bobby Van and the legendary Bob Fosse to devise their own routines to showcase their particular dancing styles.

	Cheesy lines, overdone action in Transporter 2 - JAMAICAOBSERVER.COM
		Ironically, the original Transporter was directed by China's Corey Yuen, a martial arts expert, choreographer and actor, but the action sequences were not as over the top as in the sequel.
		Transporter 2 does not want for action, but it defies all laws of gravity and reason without the supportive background, as in The Matrix trilogy, that would justify such a suspension of disbelief.
		In films like these where bullets easily poke holes in the plot, it is the action that is supposed to save the day.

	Top 10 Best and Worst Shows on Primetime Network TV 2003-2004
		Joan is not rewarded for her faith and obedience, but she is allowed to see how her actions touch the lives of those around her.
		A handful of young hopefuls make it to the final stages of the contest where caustic producer Simon Cowell; '80s pop star and choreographer Paula Abdul; and music industry veteran Randy Jackson judge their performances and viewers at home decide who will advance and who will be eliminated.
		Disturbing plots included a case in which a nun accidentally kills an orphan and buries him anonymously in a field; an adult man who has his son bring young teenaged girls to the house so the father can rape them; and teenaged boys at a military school who murder the coach who molested them.

	[KFCC] Ong Bak Review
		As Hong Kong action cinema was in a state of flux, ONG BAK would go on to fill the vacuum and put Thai cinema on the map and in minds of martial arts fans around the world.
		In ONG BAK, “action is the drama” and Tony Jaa is the Laurence Olivier of martial arts action.
		The flick set off such frenzy that veteran Hong Kong action cinema star, Donnie Yen, choreographed the fight scenes in SPL as a response to ONG BAK.

	‘Kung Fu Hustle’ is a live-action cartoon - AT THE MOVIES - MSNBC.com
		Live-action stunts were overseen largely by Yuen Wo Ping, the choreographer behind action in “The Matrix” and “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.” Fight sequences lack the grace and style of those films; Chow and his collaborators instead go for mayhem and extreme knockouts.
		Stephen Chow’s “Kung Fu Hustle” is a live-action cartoon at heart, a breathless collection of madcap pratfalls and insane action that holds barely a trace of real emotion with which to connect.
		Through it all, Sing darts in and out of the action, blustering here and licking his wounds there as his betters on both sides knock him about.

	Yuen Biao : Little Brother, Big Star
		Hopefully, the future will be a lot brighter for Biao, as he has since worked as action choreographer on Jackie Chan's 'Shanghai Noon' as well as recently completing another collaboration with Sammo Hung in 'The Avenging Fist', which is expected to get a US release this summer.
		Starring in a number of quality movies such as action classic 'Righting Wrongs' with Cynthia Rothrock, 'Iceman Cometh' and the dramatic 'On The Run', as well as co-starring with Jet Li in 'Once Upon a Time in China'.
		The good times rolled until the completion in 1987 of 'Dragons Forever' where tension between the director Sammo and the star Jackie, coupled with Biao's desire to become a solo star, saw the brothers break up and have not worked as a trio since.

	Samurai Fiction (1998)
		Action Director(s): Eiji Takakura (samurai choreographer), Keiji Yamada (ninja choreographer)
		Yet, there is a fair amount of enjoyable ninja action and ample swordplay that is shot with clarity, a bit of humor, and little gimmickry.
		History may or may not remember SF as the film that once again made chambara a bankable film property in Japan in the new millennium, but it should at least be remembered as a film that put an entertaining and fresh face on an old genre.

	BLT - Movie/Media Forum
		Directed by Yuen Woo Ping, the action choreographer for such films as The Matrix and Black Mask; Iron Monkey is, in its basest terms, a Chinese version of Robin Hood.
		Look for Yen in the upcoming Blade 2 where he also served as action choreographer for the film.
		In fact, the film is also badly dubbed in a dialect of Chinese (Cantonese, I believe) from it’s original form, though it’s subtitled in English.

	The Transporter
		And Statham rocks, thanks to director Corey Yuen (So Close, Avenging Fist), an action legend in Hong Kong best known as a choreographer here.
		Statham certainly has the build and attitude of a bona fide action star.
		Granted, this is not saying much, since The Transporter is about as mindless and a little more enjoyable than most action films, still it is a nice change of pace.

	So Close
		So Close is directed by famed action choreographer Corey Yeun (The Transporter, The Enforcer) and has three hot Asian actresses Zhao Wei, Shu Qi and Karen Mok.
		The tempo of So Close makes it more engaging than most action films out there and at least when it comes to eye candy, this film has its fair share.
		Burt Bacharach's song (They Long to be) Close to you works extremley well with the action in this film.

	Crippled Avengers review
		It seems that Robert Tai (as chief action choreographer) was keen to show off the opera skills of his classmates and at times the final fight scene does seem like an acrobatics show.
		Where in his earlier works Chang Cheh spent more time exploring the characters and developing the story, it seemed that with the 'Venoms' he was content to let the action do the talking.

	Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews: Mr. Nice Guy
		There's some family stuff and a pair of cute kids but, this time out, the emphasis is less on humor than on action.
		In this, director Samo Hung and Chan's stunt choreographer Cho Wing have done a great job.
		Nice Guy features more action than the usual flick, reprises some classic Chan stunts and introduces some very dangerous looking bits, two of which involve very sharp metal objects and their ability to separate Jackie's Crown from his Jewels.

	Henshin!Online

	THE WOMEN OF SUGO
		For the action scenes of Sugo (co-directed by Dominic Zapata and Lore Reyes of Mulawin fame), Richard and co-stars were trained and coached by no less than international choreographer Wong Wai Fai, a Hong Kong national who was the action instructor/director of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Anna and the King and Bulletproof Monk.
		At 8:30 tonight, the new GMA adventure-love story series Sugo (dubbed as "adventu-serye") will have its premiere, featuring an all-star cast led by Richard Gutierrez in a dual role as twin brothers, separated at birth, who lead two warring tribes (Richard Gutierrez the Good Guy vs. Richard Gutierrez the Bad Guy, how about that?).
		Her stepping stone to Sugo was her guesting on Extra Challenge where she was host Paolo Bediones’ date.

	Dancing Times Magazine - October 2003
		Ek was born in Malmö, on April 18, 1945, the son of celebrated Swedish actor Anders Ek and of internationally acclaimed choreographer Birgit Cullberg, founder of the Cullberg Ballet.
		In She Was Black (1995), for instance, the action develops through a series of apparently disjointed choreographic images created while pondering on the lines of a satirical show, in which one actor, who claims to have spoken with God, describes the Supreme Creator by stating that “she was black”.
		For Ek, narrative is what provides the choreographer, the interpreters and the viewers with what he refers to as “magic doors”, which, not unlike those found in Alice in Wonderland, can take anywhere.

	92 Legendary La Rose Noire
		Choreographer Leung Siu Hung (the THIRD Tony Leung) retains that unique Hong Kong ability of making non-martial artists look confident during action scenes, with the finale standing out as a good example of short, sharp fighting fury.
		The comedy is often well observed and, surprisingly, there are a few moments of slick action.
		The wisest advice to offer anyone with regards to this films is that if you don't like preposterous comedy, '92 Legendary La Rose Noire' may not be a recommended movie to buy.

	'So Close' is so slick, so silly, so irresistible
		Shu Qi is the pinup of the pair, less an action hero than a model posed by director/action choreographer Cory Yuen ("Fong Sai Yuk," "Heroic Trio") to make the most of her long legs and perfect poise.
		Zhao broods as the little sister Sue, left behind to man the equipment (computer surveillance technology so powerful it verges on magic) and DJ the missions with her favorite tune, a cover of "Close to You" more syrupy than the Carpenters' original.
		"So Close" is the film "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle" dreams of being: sleek, silly, completely ridiculous and irresistible.
