I'm a huge Sammo fan and have been for years. Not only is he a fine actor, action director and stunt man, but he also produces films too. He was the producer of the first "Mr Vampire" film and was connected with many of the following films in the series. He went to the same Peking Opera Schoool as Jackie Chan. His "Encounters Of The Spooky Kind" was resposnible for a whole glut of supernatural films. One of the biggest problems with Sammo's films is that many are not available at all outside of Asia (Thank goodness for the Internet.) , and some are not even available there anymore. It's a shame because he jumps so well between genres that there is something for everyone in his films.

Gigantor, if you have seen "SPL" and enjoyed it, you should also like "Fatal Move". It's in a similar vein.
