finished watching Heaven and Hell 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Crazier than a sackful of flying monkeys, Chang Cheh gives us a gorgeously-shot, mind-blowingly absurd fantasy moving through Heaven, Hell & Earth.

finished watching Cinema of Vengeance 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
Fascinating (for us fans) documentary on the history & development of Hong Kong martial arts & action films, featuring interviews with the people who make the magic happen. And lots of great clips from movies! (Which I have put into a collection here:

I'm sure watched this on VHS in the 90s. Rewatched in #KungFuSat #WatchParty on Mastodon.
finished watching Black Belt Jones 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Loved the fashions and especially the car wash final battle!
Watched in #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon.
finished watching Street Wars 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
A two-part episode from the TV show True Justice (2011-2012) marketed as a straight-to-DVD movie in some countries.
I went into it expecting crap and I was not disappointed!
Watched in #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon, whose denizens & jokes made it bearable!
finished watching Silent Rage 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑
A sub-Carpenteresque scifi-horror, not great but Chuck does manage to emote and is fully manscaped. Not enough martial arts.
Watched in #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon.

finished watching An Eye for an Eye 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
As an action fan, I've seen some real dreck. But this was actually a pretty well made thriller.
Sure it has its fair share of tropes, the fights aren't the most impressive I've seen, and I saw the twist coming a mile off, but it was coherent and well-paced and kept me engaged. After having just seen Norris in Slaughter in San Francisco and Lee in Starship Invasions, An Eye for An Eye was a relief!
(NB brief but delightful hamming from Stuart Pankin.)
Missed watching it in #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon, caught up with it later.
finished watching Top Dog 🌕🌑🌑🌑🌑
Top Dog? Bottom of the barrel!
Watched in the #KungFuSat watch party on Mastodon.
finished watching The Paper Tigers 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
Kung fu dramedy that avoids the usual tropes and actually develops characters!

Terrible acting, clichéd lines, derivative plot but some impressive fighting.

Join us for BUDDHIST FIST & TIGER CLAWS (1982) w/ a region-free print https://youtu.be/2s0nKfViFKU (1 hr 22 min).
PS 🚨 IMDB lies: this is NOT available on Tubi. THAT film is Buddhist Fist (1981) by YUEN Woo-ping. Completely different -- and likely better -- movie.
I've found an English-dubbed (thanks very little #VaughanSavidge ) #GodfreyHo movie (don't hate me) with non-Shaw opening credits that'll shatter your eardrums 🎺
You've been warned😂
