@Go_D_zilla @Gingerdome81 @TimesSqKungFu @BStre2snig @AndrewMGorham @wwgish Also i am only on "most" cause @frankiedjeng won't let me do "all" of them with him 😉

Yall sure seem to like my tweets about HK action films, martial arts movies etc I’m far from an expert. If you really want deep dive knowledge and recommendations consider following @TimesSqKungFu @BStre2snig and @AndrewMGorham. Along with a majority of “Action Twitter.”

@eno_erif Indeed. We bring that special moment in time up on the show. And the fact that she seemed to win every year for a while there :)

@PodcastOnFire The first recipient of the HKFA for Best Actress in 1982. Also, the 29th recipient in 2010 and 36th recipient in 2017. Not to Mention wins for the Best Supporting Actress Award in 2002, 2012, 2014 and 2015! 🫡

All hail Kara Hui, and she's coming to your podcast feed this weekend.

@Gingerdome81 @TimesSqKungFu @BStre2snig @AndrewMGorham Kudos for shouting out the community. If you're ever interested in deep dives on Hong Kong film on both podcasts and commentaries... Henlo. We are here and very nice

We’ve got the next run of deep dives lined up. Full breakdown is on our Facebook group if you want to see what’s coming.

The first of four Shaw Brothers Journey to the West films, The Monkey Goes West works best as a setup. Ho Meng-hua builds the fantasy world, gathers the travelers, and experiments with early special effects. One chapter runs long, but it’s a likeable first step on the road west.

I’ve got the Blues. The cure is Peking Opera. @ArrowFilmsVideo

It’s truly impressive how sharp Cinema City’s Cantonese, audience-friendly instincts were early on. With four films in the 1981 Top 10, Beware of Pickpockets landed at number 10 and is a surprisingly sharp assault of slapstick featuring one of Dean Shek’s funniest performances.

1980. The future Cinema City team tests the waters with audience-friendly Cantonese comedy in CRAZY CROOKS. Ultra low-budget, broad, occasionally visually clever, but exhausting over a full feature. Still, you can feel the first steps toward changing the game.

THE DELINQUENT (1973) carries little of the usual Chang Cheh DNA. Instead, it feels like him backing co-director Kuei Chih-hung as he steps forward with an on-location angry youth drama that turns brutal, feral, and shockingly violent.
