2017 Celebration

In this episode we celebrate the end of 2017 and the movies that got us through. We also discuss Tiger Cops, an Australian short TV/web series that pays homage to HK action movies of the 80's. Thanks for listening in 2017, we will be back with a regular episode in a week or so.

Drunken Monkey

Cowboys! Drugs! Corruption! And a new way to drink alcohol? The final directorial effort from the legendary Lau Kar-leung blends some impressive wirework-fu with some slightly cheesy 2003 era comedy (take a bow Wu Jing) and a rare showing from the underrated Shannon Yao. Does the Shaw Brothers first Kung Fu flick in 20 years cut the mustard or should it be thrown in the lake like a bunch of bananas? Tune in to find out!

Chocolate

No not the Johnny Depp romance from 2000 but the action film from Thailand. Directed by Prachya Pinkaew, of Ong Bak fame and starring JeeJa Yanin. Tells the heartwarming story of kid just looking out for her mum in trying circumstances. This involves breaking many peoples bones.

Shogun's Shadow

Goddamn its a samurai dirty dozen, how many of these films are there? This one is very macho and 80's, not much pathos here, amazing fights, sublime rock, possible harm to animals and so much fire!

Vampire Cleanup Dept
