A good guide is if he kicks someone in the film then its crap :-)

One thing that can be said for him is that he made a pretty much useless martial art (Akido) and make it loo very effective on film..
Yeh it was all downhill after Under Siege. Once he stopped really fucking people up breaking bones n' shit his films just become pretty dull at were just like 99% of action flicks. The "megaviolence" you spoke of is what really made me a fan of his films.

The Glimmer Man wasn't to bad and was probably the last decent flick he did.

I still watch his films and get a kick outta them but usually because of the unintentional laughs they bring.
