Since the thing with the 4 just got announced, thought I’d catch up with the thing with the 3.

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.

Tsui Hark’s Knock Off getting an American release, with most of the 88 Films extras, but with added and much longer writer-interview. Likely only topic covered is how Michael Wong saved the movie.

Nam Nai-choi's Shaw Brothers actioner MEN FROM THE GUTTER is coming soon from Vinegar Syndrome. He wasn't just goo and gore in the vein Story Of Ricky. He knew genres, and this demonstrates it well.

Good option for US customers while Europeans should wait for Arrow to announce theirs. That’s the beauty of the Cinema City/Golden Princess deal going global.

Actually two commentaries on the go, at the same time. We sure can multitask.

Well, you should because the Filmark brand, despite using the same technique as IFD, is sometimes just a wee bit more special. Let's just say I don't think Godfrey or IFD had it in them to make Robo Vampire. A delightful film because so much of its footage was done by Filmark themselves.

How you crank them tracks out and at that rate, I'll never know, David. That is an impressive discipline. Even if we were in demand, we could likely only do 2-3 a year. Got two on the go now though, and that feels like a lot.

What if there was a Dean Shek movie where you didn’t want to throttle him, where you actually rooted for him as a battle-scarred hero? That’s The Raid (1991), from Tsui Hark & Ching Siu-tung.

Hear why Shek is the right fit as Uncle Choi in the latest episode of Podcast On Fire.

Off the top of my head, Godfrey essentially kept to these credits, other than his name:

Godfrey Hall
Benny Ho

The Filmark credits like Joe Livingstone, Edgar Jere are not real persons. Likely a combo of their in house talent like Tommy Cheng, Kong Do etc.

I've just come to the conclusion the internet will not correct these wrongs ever but we can all do our small part to inform and share with each other what is right and wrong.

First tell that something isn't Godfrey Ho: The Filmark logo. No Godfrey on that awesome Robo Vampire indeed.

A veteran of dramas & huangmei operas, Yueh Feng brings fresh eyes to wuxia’s revenge cycle in The Bells of Death (1968). Primal, bloody, and raw and proof that even in the twilight of his career he could match, even outdo, the new wave of wuxia films.

May I just say, Podcast on Fire is one of the best podcasts out there, maybe the best podcast about Hong Kong film. Comfort food for the soul. Sometimes I skip episodes because I want to see the movie first, but I am eternally grateful for Kenny and the crew of contributors. Get it in your ears.

A swift sequel to Temple of the Red Lotus, The Twin Swords expands Shaw’s new wuxia vision with faster swordplay, grisly violence, and the Red Lotus Temple’s ingenious trap-lair. Operatic melodrama dates it, but the mix of spectacle and gore keeps the trilogy’s momentum.
