"Dedicated to the art of action and exploitation, Asian filmmakers have taken the West at gunpoint. From the martial arts magic of Jackie Chan to the heroic bloodshed of John Woo, from the somber charm of Chow-Yun Fat to the demented horror of Ho Menga, Asian Cult Cinema brings this fast, frenzied filmmaking to a brave new audience."
