It’s fun. Just please don’t expect The Killer. This is late era John Woo who’s very different from Hard Boiled era John Woo. But it’s still a good time if you don’t compare.

When Donnie Yen finally hangs up being an actor, I can see him having a much better late-stage career than Jackie Chan.
Jackie is making fluff for a quick paycheck. I think Donnie will continue to direct great action films. He just needs to find the right talent.

Is this on a streaming platform yet? I’ve been eager to give it a spin.

When it comes to the number of fights, yes. The Prosecutor is much, MUCH better though.

I’m a classy man. A gentleman some might say.
But I’d be lying if I said I’m content with the lack of non-bot titties on Bluesky.
Where are all the fiery biscuits? Am I following the wrong people?

I watched THE PROSECUTOR (2025) last night. Easily Donnie Yen’s finest work as a director. I absolutely loved it.
Do NOT go in expecting Flashpoint or Raging Fire. This is a legal thriller with a few action sequences. The action is amazing though. It feels fresh and more age appropriate for Donnie.

None of them are in the Shawscope sets.

Yes!! Welcome to the cool kid club! Hard Boiled is universally loved and I understand why but The Killer just has something extra about it. It’s the atmosphere of the film.
Plus, the church shootout is my favourite shootout of all time.

@fuforthought.bsky.social i came across your profile in some movie accounts to follow someone put together. Seen your headline The Killer is Bette then Hard Boiled. Yes!! They say Hard Boiled is best action flick ever, but I’ve always like The Killer more. I thought I was the only one.

I’m afraid I don’t. Not a big gamer.

The Prosecutor is now showing near me but it’s at a really shitty theater where the “youth” hang out.
Last thing I want is to be surrounded by a gaggle of teen wankers talking over the film.
Will teenage knob heads see “Donnie Yen” and buy tickets? Or not? Decisions, decisions.

I finally got around to making a video on my top 10 action films of 2024.
It’s missing some universally loved films like The Beekeeper but I’m really happy with it.

If you care to watch the vid…

I decided to finally buy Audition today. I don’t actually know if I’ve ever seen it. I mean, I know the twist and I’ve seen the really gruesome bit but I don’t actually know what happens in the film. I don’t really know the plot.

Has anyone got a totally legal copy of Pantyhose Hero they want to totally legally upload and totally legally send to me?

Video evidence of my cat expressing her distaste for Sammo Hung films.
Maybe she’s more of a Jimmy Wang Yu gal.

Reading the Wikipedia page is pretty much the same thing right?

I preferred Terrifier 2’s gore but part 3 is the best overall film, I think. Part 2 is crueler.

Fu for Thought @fuforthought.bsky.social · Jan 6

I was not a fan. I think it’s because I don’t have nostalgia for it. I didn’t grow up with it. As a film, it’s pretty awful.

I’v been promising myself to watch these for years but I’ve just never gotten around to it.
I’m kicking off 2025 right by finally getting to them.

Be forewarned - it’s a goofy comedy and not a flat out action film. It does have very good action though.

That’s a lot of barrels right there.
