Dip huet seung hung (1989)
quite possibly one of the greatest action films ever!
I remember renting this one night and falling in love with it. The plot was very well done and the characters were fleshed out nicely. It's one of those films that you really care what is going to happen to them next. Other than that, the action scenes were just incredible. They will take your breath away, honest. This is highly recommended to everyone! See this instead of any of the copycat films made after it.
Midnight Eye: Gokû (1989)
a great addition to Kawajiri's list of good animes
*contains minor spoilers*
I happened to see this one night on a movie channel. I'm glad that I did or else I would have missed out on a great anime! I was already a fan of Kawajiri so I knew that I would be happy about this. Goku Midnight Eye contained the usual Kawajiri spectacular action and violence. But unfortunately, it had the use of misogyny that Kawajiri is known for. But it was actually lighter compared to other works of Kawajiri(Ninja Scroll and Wicked City for example). That's not to say that his films are bad. This was just an all around cool anime. It's about a private investigator who is given powers by an unknown character to fight crime in the futre. The animation was well done and lacked those ridiculous character designs found in most anime(another cliche included in Kawajiri animes). I recommend this film to Kawajiri fans in particular, anime fans, or anyone who enjoys good fun and science fiction.
PS. If you liked this anime I recommend Ninja Scroll and Wicked City!
