Book Reviews of Video Hound's Dragon: Asian Action & Cult Flicks

Book Review: I am so glad that I bought this book!
Summary: 5 Stars

I am so glad I own this book! It makes sense of an enormous subject, with humor and an excellent attention to detail. The reviews are great, and the numerous sidebars, from Who's Who in Fu (parts 1 thru 5) to The Ultraman Family, and from a Salute to Sammo Hung to an explanation of the Yuens, this book has it all. And at 900+ pages, it better! I also loved that there is a category index in the back, so that I can pick a theme, like Beggars, or Cyberpunks, or Old-School Kung Fu, and find titles that fit that theme. And the cast index is very helpful as well. The forward by Cynthia Rothrock is great - she tells some great stories from her career.

This is the book for any serious fan of Asian cinema, or anyone wanting to become a serious fan. The only drawback is that I may never leave the house again - I have bookmarked hundreds of movies in it that I want to watch!
