I'm on the thing but will be active on the bird until I am not. Happy to follow and reconnect with you here. Especially you. I'll check in from time to time.
The great Tatsuya Nakadai has passed away at 92. Star of Harakiri, The Sword of Doom, Ran, and, of course, Hong Kong’s The Wicked City. One of the last giants of Japanese cinema’s golden era.

Everyone’s unboxing their shiny new 4Ks of Hard Boiled, Peking Opera Blues, and City on Fire… Meanwhile, I’ve got tapes for you. Swarms of them. Including Hard Boiled 2 (naughty, naughty retitle, Eastern Heroes 😆).

Rewatched One-Armed Swordsman from Arrow’s Shawscope Vol. 3. A landmark of Hong Kong cinema, not just for its action, but its heart. A wounded man learns the martial world can destroy as much as it honors. It's carried through pain, grace, and blood, by Wang Yu and Chang Cheh.

Po-Chih Leong’s Hong Kong 1941 finds power in restraint. Less spectacle, more humanity, friendship, loyalty, survival under siege. Chow Yun-Fat’s quiet, magnetic charisma and Leong’s realism turn this modest wartime drama into one of the 80s’ most affecting Hong Kong films.

A quick state-of-the-podcast update: we’re going monthly. The episodes are getting deeper, the research heavier, and naps are now officially part of production.

Ringo Lam’s The Adventurers, filmed on a global scale, plays like a warm-up for Hollywood: big scope, little to no soul. A messy shoot, rewrites, and delays didn’t help, but the problem runs deeper. Lam’s realism flickers early, then fades. He got better when he came home again.

Happy to support re-issues like this one from Eureka, even if my old VCD viewing already told me this was minor stuff. SHAOLIN BOXERS is a brisk 78-min Golden Harvest pickup. Competent, occasionally lively, but pure filler from the post-Bruce Lee product era.

The only review of a certain film on @letterboxd.social is mine. I choose to believe that makes me a pioneer, not a weirdo.

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.

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.
