We put on our sweet leather jackets, dangly earrings and pulled back the ponytails to go undercover this week… Hong Kong Style.

First we discuss the Ringo Lam film CITY ON FIRE… the inspiration for Reservoir Dogs… then move to INFERNAL AFFAIRS… the inspiration for The Departed!

Our double feature films this week share a couple themes in common… they are about French gentlemen hunting three men to get some revenge… and they explore the meaning of vengeance itself. Completely coincidental, I assure you, as we are just not that smart.

The first film reviewed is a 1975 eurocrime of sorts by the name of L’AGRESSION or Act of Aggression.

The second is Johnnie To’s 2009 film VENGEANCE

Music this week:
King Missile – Detachable Penis
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds – The Mercy Seat
EL-P – Deep Space 9mm

It’s time once again for your favorite show and mine, Silva & Gold!

This week we thought we were simply covering two films each with a group of four individuals wandering in a desert-like setting. What we discovered is that we had a double feature of two movies with characters earning some sort of redemption after a trial in the desert.

The first is one of Lucio Fulci’s few spaghetti westerns, the 1975 film Four of the Apocalypse starring Fabio Testi and Tomas Milian.

Then we discuss Johnnie To’s near-western from 2006 called Exiled. The Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnight Cinema covered this many moons ago. Alas, I cannot remember if they covered Four of the Apocalypse.

We also manage to talk about smelly balls, smelly breath, Fabio getting peed on, and Andre the Giant’s peculiar sex habits.

I’m confused too.
