Duluth would finally crack Ruddock less than a minute into the third period on a goal from Maria Rooth, a perennial Crimson killer. But that was all the Bulldogs could manage...
...Europe, ?ultra? films are separate and lesser industries; for Hong Kong movie people, the line between mainstream and murky backwater is blurrier. Actors like Anthony Wong, Simon Yam, Danny Lee and Kent Cheng shuttled with impunity from one category to the other.

That?s the only apt response to ?Red to Kill,? the masterpiece in the ITMFG collection - the killer vase among these grisly movie antiques. (The film is available in the U.S. on video...
