This is the best HELLOWEEN album, a classic metal album that orientated a vast ammount of bands that followed. It has creativity, great lyrics, great solos, great vocals, great drumming. After this, nothing was the same for Helloween..

Only album I like more is "Master of Puppets". This one has it all - speed, harmonies, rythyms, pop sounds - a breath of fresh air from the other poser bands.

I should have just built the thing myself. The adapter was broken and extremely fragile otherwise when I received it. After a bit of soldering, it worked reasonably well.

I AM A SHCOOL TEACHER AND I SHOW THIS TO MY HUMANITIES STUDENTS WHO ARE REQUIRED TO WRITE AN DISSEMINATION AND RESEARCH PAPER ON THIS HIGHLY DEVELOPED AND COMPLEX SUBJECT. THIS FILM IS PERFECT FOR SUCH PURPOSE. I SHOW THIS VIDEO AT ANY FUNCTIONS IN WHICH I HOST FOR IT STIRS UNSTOPPABLE DEBATE AND CONVERSATIONS. ALL THOSE WHO I KNOW HAVE SEEN THIS FILM HAS SEEN IT MULTIPLE TIMES. I EVEN KNOW A PERSON WHO EVEN KNOWS THE DIALOGUE WORD FOR WORD-VERBATIM DUE TO THE POETIC FLOW OF THE SCRIPT!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE AND EVERYONE WHO HAS SEEN IT THAT I KNOW OWNS TWO COPIES OF THIS CLASSIC AND MUST OWN VIDEO!!

'Shadow of China' has so much going for it: a multi-layered story involving mainland China and Hong Kong; the protagonist fleeing China and moving up in the world, yet still saddled with a dark past; the imminent take-over from the British....pity it is so amateurishly executed.John Lone and Vivian Wu are attractive leads, but the scripting and direction are poor, to say the least.The clumsy dialogue is played with lines delivered as if chiseled in stone, and there are next to no scenes that really pick up enough to make you forget the school-play-like staging.When a film makes you cringe each time a 'clever' line is spoken, something is very wrong.Some beautiful mood shots of cloud-draped Hong Kong appear from time to time, but that is far from enough to carry this one.This could have been a riveting, even explosive story (given the main character's background), but instead it becomes a casebook example of how not to write and direct a feature film.CH.

Shadow of China is about a Chinese revolutionary who escapes to Hong Kong. There he builds a financial empire. His dreams are threatened by exposure. A boring film. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER REVIEWS.
