I'm on the thing but will be active on the bird until I am not. Happy to follow and reconnect with you here. Especially you. I'll check in from time to time.

Late-60s Shaw pulp at its most fun. A spy caper, with pop-art sets, and Tina Chin Fei dual role via Fantômas-style masks. Light, fast, SHORT, playful, and packed with colour. TEMPTRESS OF A THOUSAND FACES is a strange, stylish little gem that deserves more eyes on it.

Cinema City’s first film is such an odd one. John Woo doing a full Chaplin homage, Dean Shek as theTramp, undercranked gags and skit-like setups. Amusing, sometimes tiring, but fully committed. Somehow LAUGHING TIMES still pulled in 5M and set the path to Aces Go Places etc.

Small local VHS pickup today. Dreadnaught joins the Made in Hong Kong collection, and Hitman in the Hand of Buddha is the Mandarin, subtitled full-screen version. I’ve seen the shorter widescreen cut, so I don’t mind going back to a cropped one.

Not a pleasant case, but a thorough deep dive into the crime, and how theatrical and DTV releases explored (or exploited) it.

Your monthly podcast is coming this weekend, and it's a deeply unpleasant one as This Week In Sleaze does a deep dive on a vile true crime. It involves Lee, Sir. The film. Not the crime.

One of the first wave of Golden Harvest films, THE ANGRY RIVER (1971, dir. Wong Fung) is a genre trip: rare herb quest, sword duels, fire rivers, even monsters. Angela Mao debuts with intensity and emotion. Sammo and Han Ying-Chieh deliver a gnarly, gory final act.

The great Tatsuya Nakadai has passed away at 92. Star of Harakiri, The Sword of Doom, Ran, and, of course, Hong Kong’s The Wicked City. One of the last giants of Japanese cinema’s golden era.

Everyone’s unboxing their shiny new 4Ks of Hard Boiled, Peking Opera Blues, and City on Fire… Meanwhile, I’ve got tapes for you. Swarms of them. Including Hard Boiled 2 (naughty, naughty retitle, Eastern Heroes 😆).

Rewatched One-Armed Swordsman from Arrow’s Shawscope Vol. 3. A landmark of Hong Kong cinema, not just for its action, but its heart. A wounded man learns the martial world can destroy as much as it honors. It's carried through pain, grace, and blood, by Wang Yu and Chang Cheh.

It’s Halloween and I will celebrate by going on mic, solo, for one of those blu ray boutique label audio commentary disc thingies.

Po-Chih Leong’s Hong Kong 1941 finds power in restraint. Less spectacle, more humanity, friendship, loyalty, survival under siege. Chow Yun-Fat’s quiet, magnetic charisma and Leong’s realism turn this modest wartime drama into one of the 80s’ most affecting Hong Kong films.

Ringo Lam’s The Adventurers, filmed on a global scale, plays like a warm-up for Hollywood: big scope, little to no soul. A messy shoot, rewrites, and delays didn’t help, but the problem runs deeper. Lam’s realism flickers early, then fades. He got better when he came home again.

Happy to support re-issues like this one from Eureka, even if my old VCD viewing already told me this was minor stuff. SHAOLIN BOXERS is a brisk 78-min Golden Harvest pickup. Competent, occasionally lively, but pure filler from the post-Bruce Lee product era.

The only review of a certain film on @letterboxd.social is mine. I choose to believe that makes me a pioneer, not a weirdo.

Reviewing the first half of Eureka’s Exact Revenge set, The Eunuch comes from a fresh voice in Teddy Yip, delivering sharp revenge beats and fierce swordplay. Pai Ying, in Dragon Inn reprisal mode, doesn’t disappoint. A lean, confident slice of early-70s Shaw wuxia.
