A hard R rated adaptation of "Death Troopers" directed by Takashi Miike... adapted by me.

(But that one cameo... altered)

Mayhaps, one day I shall be again.

🎶 Taiwan is what it means to be young! 🎶

Sure as hell SEEMS like it's "INSPIRED" by STREETS OF FIRE.

(The title is SEVEN WOLVES)
Taiwan made a STREETS OF FIRE rip-off!?

By the director of Jackie Chan's FANTASY MISSION FORCE!

Share a reliable character actor

I may be pushing the definition, but Borgnine leapt to mind.
Sweet, salty, silly or savage - He ALWAYS brought his game.

I saw Udo onstage during a 1-night-only showing of IRON SKY.

I don't know if he was tipsy or that was simply how he always went through life.

But it told me that A) I wanted to party w/him, B) I could NOT handle partying with him, and C) he should introduce EVERY MOVIE!

He begins like a performer, rises like a prophet, and concludes like a teacher.

This is the most brilliant political statement made by any artist in history.

Taken from 'In Search Of Tomorrow'
(2022), a five hour documentary on 80s sci fi. Well worth renting.
Peter Hyams' love for Connery is evident here.

Just sharing this again...I'm like 30 subscribers away from my goal for 2025 (free & paid). With losing my part-time job, I'd love to be able to focus on what I love while I figure out the rest. Any shares/subs would very much be appreciated. Thanks. 🖤
Anyway, in the wake of the job loss news, I just wanted to share my site because I’d love to get up to 365 subscribers for the year (free & paid) & if you dig what I do, maybe you’ll want to upgrade your subscription someday: from-the-desk-of-the-horror-chick.ghost.io
