Back on schedule this week as we review a couple films from legendary Hong Kong martial arts filmmaker/actor/fight choreographer Lau Kar-leung who passed away on June 25, 2013.

We decided on two better known films, slightly different from one another but both showcasing his incredible talent at putting martial arts on the screen.

First we discuss EIGHT DIAGRAM POLE FIGHTER, perhaps a pinnacle in the genre at its time for kung fu films and the Shaw Bros.

Then we dive into a film from a couple years earlier which branched out a bit from the norm… MY YOUNG AUNTIE from 1981

Mr. Lau will be missed

Music this week
Ministry –  Over The Shoulder
The Black Rose Phantoms – Two Graves Deep

The Oily Maniac Jay waited very patiently for us to cover his criminal cocks double feature, apparently forgetting Dr. Zom’s thoughts on similar Japanese pink films from an earlier episode. Well, I hope his wait has paid off!

First we review RAPE! 13th HOUR, a Roman Porno from director Yasuharu Hasebe once again. The name really says a lot… But is there something more?

This week we take a look at a couple films as examples of the legendary Shaw Bros. studio leaving Hong Kong and making some joint productions with multiple genres. I don’t even know if that was proper english

First we review what may just be a Red Sun rip-off, but was at least an attempt at kung-fu meeting a spaghetti western with THE STRANGER AND THE GUNFIGHTER.

Then we cover kung-fu horror as Shaw meets Hammer with THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES

The Walkmen – The Rat

We originally were going to do a bald jerks double, but found our two stars, Kurtwood Smith and Michael Ironside, were not quite bald at this point AND were far more creepy than they were just jerks…

So you get reviews of FORTRESS from 1992, also starring Christopher Lambert, and SCANNERS from 1981!

And the usual rambling and farts and nonsense

After much begging and pleading by our most prolific celebrity feedsacker, we decided to finally cover a couple Sly films. While we weren’t quite ready to jump to Magnificent Bastard status, (and as ol Russ was given this honor last week), we did find a tenuous link between two early-80s Sly flicks… him with a blonde!

The first film reviewed is NIGHTHAWKS… a smaller film with Rutger Hauer that fell between the now behemoths Rocky 2 and First Blood. Then we confront the harder to find romantic(?) comedy RHINESTONE with Dolly Parton.
