Using the “Donnie Yen” clause in the podcast bylaws, the boys are starting the new year talking about 2021's Hong Kong police/action film - Raging Fire. This is Benny Chan's final directorial film before his passing in 2020 and feels like a throwback to classic Hong Kong cinema of the 80's and 90's. Raging Fire is the story of a righteous cop who must cross paths with his former protégé. Both Troy and Brad think this is one of the best action films from last year, if not the last 5 years, and recommend you seek it out immediately.To kick off the podcast, the guys talk about their holiday break and some of the films they watched. Additionally, Troy explains the reason why there are seven production companies on this film and the difficulties working within the Chinese government. Oh, and obviously, the boys guy-crush over Donnie Yen for a solid hour.Raging Fire is directed by Benny Chan and stars Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, and Qin Lan.If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com.

If you're familiar with Hong Kong action films you're no stranger to the work of Benny Chan. Chan's catalogue is nothing short of iconic; in large part due to the unbelievably high risk action. Think Jackie Chan's Who Am I?, Fist of Fury (1995), and A New Police Story. Raging Fire, the director's final project before losing his battle with cancer, offers the kind of action and violence with a few notable action sequence hat-tips mixed in to cement its place in the genre. Raging Fire is absolutely every thing you hope for in a heroic bloodshed action film. Yen plays Cheung Sung-pong a cop more interested in catching bad guys that advancing through the ranks. Pong hates corruption but walks a thin line when it comes to what he's willing to do to close a case. Don't expect him to wait for a warranted but do expect him to turn down a bribe. What starts out as a sting to bring a drug kingpin in turns into a blood bath; leaving most of the task force dead or in critical condition. Sh The hunt for this band of criminals leads to a reckoning. Because this crew made up of ex-cops turned criminals; led by his former protégé Yau Kong-nog (Nicolas Tse). Nog is a man with a plan. He and his band of ruthless assassins-for-hire have no intention of letting Pong or anyone else stop the. If the plot's a little on the nose, don't worry Tse and Yen's performances infuse these characters with charisma and edge.  In what's clearly an ode to heroic bloodshed stories, a genre invented in Hong Kong, Chan's written a story revolving around duty, honor, revenge and redemption. Only in his hands, those themes aren't as restrictive as these tropes tend to be. It's a meditation on fate, split-second decisions, and feelings of guilt, loss of faith, and hopelessness. So don't expect Raging Fire to hold your hand as these hardened men work through their existential crisis with their fists. The devil's in the details - and the flashbacks - even the adrenaline-fueled emotional highs and lows aid in character development. Because Chan grounds Nog's thirst for vengeance in the kind of moral conflict that blurs the lines of right and wrong in interesting ways. By the midway point, you may just find yourself hoping Ngo somehow finds vindication (before Shan brings it all crashing down that is). And that's a good thing.  Yen and Tse Carry the Day Chan twists friends-to-enemies melodrama into the perfect vehicle for a heist/revenge thriller. Led by two of Hong Kong's finest, Donnie Yen (Mulan, Ip Man series) and Nicolas Tse (Shaolin, New Police Story), this simple cops versus robbers narrative morphs into a kinetic, yet emotionally nuanced, plot driven by death-defying action choreography. If you've missed bare-knuckle brawls, with a side of lightening fast knife work, shoot outs and epic car chases then push Raging Fire to the top of your watchlist.  Although it likely signals the end of an era, Raging Fire is one hell of an epilogue.  Listen and Kriss and I dig into the themes, homages and action of Raging Fire. Have no fear, we keep it spoiler-free. This one you really need to see for yourself.  Raging Fire screened August 10th during the 2021 Fantasia International Film Festival.

Mike and Robb do a quick review of the late great Benny Chan's Raging Fire, their pick for the best action film of 2021 Robb's review on UAMC Where to find Robb

In this short episode for once, we talk about the late Benny Chan's final film starring Donnie Yen and Nicolas Tse.

One of the best summer actioners. Raging Fire stars Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, Qin Lan, Simon Yam, Ray Lui, Ben Yuen, Ben Lam, Ken Lo, Carlos Chan, Patrick Tam, Kenny Wong, Jeano Ho, Angus Yeung, and more. Music by Nicolas Errera. Cinematography by Yuen Man Fung. Written and Directed by Benny Chan.

When Philip Ng burst onto the scene in his 2014 leading-man debut, 'Once Upon a Time in Shanghai' - co-starring Sammo Hung and with fight choreography by Yuen Woo-ping - followed by his turn as Bruce Lee in the 2016 Hollywood biopic, 'Birth of the Dragon', the kung fu movie world was introduced to a wonderful new talent. In reality, of course, Philip's story of overnight success could not have been further from the truth. Since the early 2000s - when Philip decided to leave his home in Chicago to pursue a career in Hong Kong action cinema - he had been working tirelessly both in front and behind the camera, developing his skills as an action director and actor. He has become a leading light in a new generation of Hong Kong actors adept at sharing the screen with everyone from Donnie Yen to Simon Yam, Jackie Chan to Louis Koo, and working with directors as diverse as Ringo Lam, Stephen Fung, Benny Chan and Wong Jing. His 2019 martial arts film, 'Undercover Punch and Gun' - which is out now in North America courtesy of Well Go USA - is a love letter to the sort of Hong Kong action comedies he grew up watching in the 1980s and 90s. It sees him reunite with his long-time buddies and frequent collaborators, Andy On and Van Ness Wu. As well as being a fight-filled homage to the golden age of Hong Kong action movies, the film is equally dedicated to the three actors' friendship, which first started back in 2003 on the tournament movie, 'Star Runner'. Listen as Philip discusses his journey from an aspiring young martial artist into a fully fledged kung fu film star - and the ups and downs he has experienced along the way.

Trois mois que nous n'avons plus pris le micro, trois mois pour explorer les confins de l'univers à la recherche de la réponse à LA question : sommes-nous seuls ? Une question à laquelle de nombreux films ont déjà donné une réponse sans équivoque : des Sélénites du VOYAGE DANS LA LUNE de Georges Méliès aux Naavi d'AVATAR de James Cameron en passant par le terrible Klaatu du JOUR OÙ LA TERRE S'ARRÊTA de Robert Wise ou encore le mindfuck final de 2001 L'ODYSSÉE DE L'ESPACE, la réponse apportée par les cinéastes est généralement positive. Cela s'explique certainement par le fait qu'il est plus facile, et surtout plus impressionnant de filmer la présence que l'absence d'une forme de vie extraterrestre. Mais comme le disait ce bon vieil Arthur C. Clarke : « Il existe deux possibilités : soit nous sommes seuls dans l'univers, soit nous ne le sommes pas. Ces deux possibilités sont équitablement terrifiantes. » À l'occasion de la sortie de THE VAST OF NIGHT sur Amazon Prime, premier film impressionnante d'Andrew Patterson, nous avons décidé de nous intéresser à plusieurs films qui misent davantage sur la question que sur la réponse : CONTACT de Robert Zemeckis, SIGNS de M. Night Shyamalan et AD ASTRA de James Gray. --- LE FILM D'ACTUALITÉ (00:02:34) THE VAST OF NIGHT, Andrew Patterson --- LA THÉMATIQUE APPROFONDIE (00:37:30) Les films de premier contact, ou pas CONTACT, Robert Zemeckis, 1997 (00:31:40) SIGNES, M.

When ex-US Marine and martial arts instructor Chris Collins took his Wing Chun pupils to see the film Ip Man 3 in 2015, he joked that he would be appearing in the next film in the Ip Man series - if another sequel was ever made. Fast-forward several months and Chris is sitting in front of director Wilson Yip, who is offering him a role in the fourth and final instalment of the hit kung fu movie series starring Donnie Yen. Chris, who plays one of the villains in the film, says his rapid rise in the Hong Kong film industry is because of his intense focus and determination to achieve his goals, honed after serving nine years in the US Marine Corps. As a combat specialist, Chris toured the globe learning the fighting arts from some of the world's toughest martial artists, using this knowledge to inform the marine training programme. He still teaches martial arts to this day from his base in Hong Kong and his satellite schools around the world, instructing in mostly boxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, Filipino weapons systems and Wing Chun. It was his role as a fight trainer, stunt performer and choreographer which eventually saw him befriend and work with some of the Hong Kong film industry's top talent. On this episode, listen to Chris share his fascinating life story; from being the bullied son of Chinese-American parents growing up in a predominantly white neighbourhood in Ohio and Florida, to joining the army and fighting in some of the US military's most intense conflicts. We also discuss his love of Hong Kong, and how the movies saved him after he stepped away from the competitive fighting circuit; a career decision which has seen him work with the likes of Tony Jaa and Sammo Hung in 2017's Paradox, and Donnie Yen and Scott Adkins in 2019's Ip Man 4. We also highlight his many upcoming projects, one of which is Benny Chan's Raging Fire, which also stars Donnie Yen. Ip Man 4 will be released on 20 December in China and 25 December in the USA, courtesy of Well Go USA. Find out more about Chris Collins via the links below.
