If there exists any film that truly epitomizes the guilty pleasure that is "Asian trash cinema," Clarence Fok's unforgettable Naked killer is surely it. Stylish, in your face and replete with enough eye-candy to render subtitles irrelevant, Asia's iniquitous 1992 export kicks more butt than Jackie Chan and leaves a far sexier impression.

Taking Aim at the Suburban Nightmare
It’s hard to imagine any film packing this much star-power successfully navigating beneath the mainstream Hollywood radar, but until its recent release on video The Big Hit languished in near-obscurity.
