Even worse then the last kumite which says it all

Curious to see what you pick, many people don't understand the different strands of HK cinema (Wuxia and Kung Fu) let alone the Fu sub-genres. FYI, the only films that I'd say partly qualify as Heroic Bloodshed that have any Fu quotient are A Bloody Fight (1988) and Tiger On Beat (1987). As a categorisation "Basher" simply refers to the non-descript nature of the action, the focus is on brutality, not stylisation (often coinciding with somewhat darker narrative material). A prime example of a Basher is one of my personal favourites - The Bloody Fists (Directed by the legendary Ng See Yuen) starring the ever-awesome Chen Sing and Chen Kuan Tai. No long description required :) On a side note, I never rated Joseph Kuo that highly as a Filmmaker, he's passable/competent at best IMO. Now, Lee Tso Nam - there's somebody who REALLY deserves a box set of his own. I don't agree with assessment of ETD, it was inevitable that Lee would make a "big" movie irrespective of the success of FFoD. Numerous studio execs had caught on to Lee's profitability in Asia as well as his popularity Stateside through The Green Hornet. Factor in the emergence of various Martial Arts in the States, it was always going to happen. The trouble with the real Bruce Lee story is that there's so much nonsense out there (including Dragon The Bruce Lee Story - a film I love tbh) that have misinformed too many people and too many talking heads have spouted nonsense to sell a story (which ends up becoming the official narrative lmao). I once heard an "expert" claim on a commentary track that the Nunchaku Ping Pong clip of "Bruce" was legit - I almost died of laughter but sadly I've heard several reactors/RUclips Reviewers parrot this nonsense lmao. Fist of Fury is too stylised to be a Basher IMO.

The only good blood sport is the first one 2 & 3 weren’t good either

I dedicate my comment that I love this movie to the loving memory of my fucking patience.

I wouldn't even start it. 😅

Double Dragon never got made right. It was to much for the kiddies. They should have made it bad ass like fight club.

I love Deep Dives! Going to bookmark this for when i have a day off to watch. Did you ever think of breaking it up in 8-10 parts?

😂😂

Need a longer outro to help your watch time algorithm 😮

Full disclosure, I really couldn’t finish this movie. I sat through half of it and then gave up. I just made this video for laughs.

It’s sucks

middle of the road? this movie is worse than anything uwe boll has ever crapped out.

As a kid, I loved it. I also never managed to get to level 3 on the arcade version of the game. I think I only rewatched it once as adult. Yea it's mainly for children back in the day.

Nicely done brother! And some good points there for sure. And thanks for having me!

Always lked rumble has a lot to offer edge on your seat the bit jacky whips angelo Always cracks me up all the best sir

While I think this film has aged badly (then again, it’s more like a product of its time. Pure 90’e cheese!), I do think it’s entertaining. It’s a shame there’s no big throw down at the end but it has this sense of fun throughout, that makes it very easy to watch. I don’t mind this cut. It’s light and breezy. I would like to see the HK cut though.

Fun(?) Fact? The realtor at the beginning of the movie starred with Cheng Pei Pei in 'Come Drink with Me' in 1966 and The Shadow Whip in 1971. Solid 90's Jackie Chan.... A Tier: Supercop and Drunken Master II B Tier: Who Am I? and Rumble in the Bronx C Tier: Mr. Nice Guy, Rush Hour.

super fun Jackie flick - maybe one day we’ll get a proper blu-ray release!

I seen this on video 2001 loved the choreography weirdness all the best

Happy early birthday. I remember watching Double Dragon as a kid. I played the games too

Happy birthday buddy and double dragon is very cool brings back memories

I have not seen this one but I have seen Taoist Drunkard which I’m super excited about getting its release soon!

Where did you get the posters from? I collect shaw brothers films

Nice job guys ❤

Nicely done brother 👊 and thanks for the invite to collab!

Nice glad you got your set - looking forward to diving into mine soon!

Good discussion. I ordered the boxset. I grew up in 70s and 80s with the Bruce exploitation films. One I'm trying to find it's title is one where one of the bad guy was modeled after Chuck Norris from return of the dragon where he has sideburns and a silk shirt and always takes of his sun glasses before he fights. Trying to find it to watch. That's all my vague memory is of it is the bad guy taking off his sun glasses before beating someone up.

You made me excited for these and I've already got them. Shaz and I are looking forward to hearing what you have to say about Casino Raiders - a particular favourite of ours (there are 2 sequels,Casino Raiders 2 directed by Johnnie To and the true sequel, No Risk No Gain, directed by Taylor Wong). As always brother, great job 👍

nice - i picked up Swordsman - Chess Boxing also!

That Swordsman of All Swordsmen release was great. I mainly got it for Chess Boxing but the main feature was actually a very good swordplay movie

heard it

Kaleb's Cribs hype! Thanks for the tour :-)

I enjoyed this peek behind the curtain. You are always so easy to listen to. Love the fan that Amber made for you. P.s Shaz's favourite super hero is also Superman! ❤

just curious but shouldn’t the longer samurai sword be placed on the bottom? seems kinda upside down to me 😂

This is super fun, Kaleb! Thanks for giving us a behind the scenes peek at the lair. 👊🏼👍🏼

Hey...if you can, do an episode on The Victim!!

Great video Kaleb, watching this video may make me buy the Bruceplotation boxset, I love what you & Leon are doing to promote Hong Kong cinema.

This was a lot of fun to watch today!

I just found the podcast late last year and enjoyed it. Thanks for your work!

Good luck dude - personal life and work come before this silly thing called YT!

I did like Bruce Le's Enter The Game Of Death that is a good movie. I also like The Clones Of Bruce Lee especially when Dragon Lee fought Bolo from Enter the dragon.

Hi Kaleb. Great video. Another fantastic collaboration too. You and Jason did a great job here. You do realise though that it's going to make a bigger hole in my wallet ❤
