Die erste Folge des dritten Shawscope-Marathons! Marco und Sebastian sprechen über DEN Shaw Brothers Film, der den Kurs des legendären Hong Kong Filmstudios bis zu seinem Ende nachhaltig prägen sollte. Chang Cheh definierte Action und Drama neu und entfachte beim Publikum einen unersättlichen Appetit für Melodrama, Martial-Arts und reichlich Filmblut! In „The One-Armed Swordsman“ wächst der junge Fang Gang (Jimmy Wang Yu) bei seinem Ziehvater, dem legendären Meister Qi, auf, doch da er nur der Sohn eines Leibwächters ist, verachten ihn seine Mitschüler - darunter die hochnäsige Tochter des Hauses. Bei einer Auseinandersetzung verliert Fang Gang seinen rechten Arm - und seinen Lebensmut. Als ihn die Bäuerin Xiao-Man aufnimmt, fasst er neuen Lebensmut. Doch bald schon zieht ein kalter Schatten der Gewalt über den Landstrich: Der Long-Armed Devil und seine Kohorten planen, Meister Qi und alle seine Adepten zu töten. Nun muss Fang Gang neue Techniken lernen, um seinen Ziehvater zu schützen und dabei seinen ehrlichen Wunsch nach Frieden nicht aus den Augen verlieren.Weitere Links zu unseren Websites und Social Mediahttps://linktr.ee/filmkammerEmails könnt ihr uns an filmkammer@buddelfisch.de sendenHört die Filmkammer überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第六集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第六集「嘉禾的出現及自由競爭下1970年代影業的興旺」 討論大網： 1970年開始時，擁有影城和院線，製作量龐大的邵氏兄弟公司好像一個絕不可能被打倒的影壇巨人，結果它卻製造出自己的強大敵人，那就是從邵氏公司的管理人員鄒文懷。鄒在邵氏因方逸華主政而離開組織嘉禾公司，它發掘了李小龍，承接了國泰公司的片廠，組織了院線，再由許冠文喜劇屢破票房紀錄。嘉禾由一家資金短絀的公司發展成足以與邵氏分庭抗禮的國際有名的大公司，並成為1980至1990香港電影的中流砥柱，可說是一個傳奇。除了嘉禾，1970年代在不同時期都有一些獨立電影公司在票房上創出佳績，為影業帶來新風，包括思遠、繽繽，這都與香港影業自由競爭脫不了干系。 在這第六集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，在第一節，我們討論了以下內容：嘉禾成立的背景，主人的背景是什麼？話事鄒文懷從邵氏帶走了些什麼人？出走的原因又是什麼？張徹本伴隨鄒氏出走，但最後為什麼沒有呢？李小龍這一名巨星的出現，是如何拯救了嘉禾呢？功夫片自李小龍出現後成賣座電影，跟從前的武俠電影有什麼分別呢？何謂真正的功夫片？嘉禾衛星公司是什麼？嘉禾是如何利用省減成本開支呢？ --------- Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 6 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 6: “The Emergence of Golden Harvest and the Flourishing of the Film Industry in the 1970s Under Free Competition" At the start of the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Company, with its studios and cinema chains and a massive production volume, seemed like an invincible giant in the film industry. However, it created its formidable competitor: Raymond Chow, a former Shaw Brothers executive. Chow left the company due to disagreements with Mona Fong's management and founded Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest discovered Bruce Lee, took over Cathay Organization's studios, and established its cinema chain. The success of Michael Hui's comedies repeatedly broke box office records. Golden Harvest evolved from a financially struggling company into an internationally renowned giant capable of rivaling Shaw Brothers. It became a pillar of Hong Kong cinema from the 1980s to the 1990s, embodying a legendary success story. In addition to Golden Harvest, several independent film companies achieved significant box office success during the 1970s, bringing fresh ideas to the industry. These included companies like Seasonal Film Corporation and Bo Ho Film Company, which thrived due to the free competition in Hong Kong's film industry. In this sixth episode of the podcast, we divided our discussion into three segments. In the first segment, we covered the following topics: The background of Golden Harvest's establishment: What is the background of its founders? What personnel did Raymond Chow take with him from Shaw Brothers? What were the reasons for the departure?Chang Cheh initially planned to leave with Raymond Chow but ultimately did not—why was that?How did the emergence of the superstar Bruce Lee save Golden Harvest?How did kung fu films become box office hits after Bruce Lee's appearance, and how did they differ from the earlier wuxia films?What defines a true kung fu film?What was Golden Harvest's satellite company, and how did Golden Harvest utilize it to reduce costs? ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

Con este podcast recupero una de mis tradiciones anuales como es ver una película de artes marciales añeja el día 31 de diciembre. Y que mejor que ver una de las clásicas colaboraciones del "Triángulo de hierro" del director Chang Cheh junto a sus dos actores fetiche, David Chiang y Ti Lung. Una épica más cercana al peplum que al kung fu con traiciones familiares, lanzas a go-go y montones de soldados muertos. Que tengáis una feliz entrada al 2024.
「香港電影史導論 Podcast第五集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第五集「香港電影在1960年代的變遷」 討論大網： 1960年代的香港影業基本上延續1950年代，主要的導演和編劇都是1950年代初已入行的一批，創作觀念上改變不大。但1960年代香港的經濟已擺脫1950年代的貧困局面而進入小康。粵語片方面，類型也就由淒慘的文藝片逐漸轉向「小康之家式」中產小夫妻喜劇以至歌頌自食其力的「工廠妹萬歲」電影，也有關心下一代會否學壞的青春片，並由此出現陳寶珠、蕭芳芳的影迷熱潮。國語片方面，經濟成長也造就一種追求個性解放的心態，造就了張徹以陽剛為號召的武俠片，從而把香港電影以至中國電影的女明星主導的傳統徹底改變。 在這第五集的podcast， 我們一共分開三節，每節的主題如下： 5.1 60年代香港電影產業的總體特色、以及重點討論了三種粵語流行電影類型, 包括武俠片、小夫妻喜劇、青春歌舞電影。 5.2 60年代流行的張徹的國語武俠電影如何範式轉移影響日後的香港電影，另外我們也重點討論了楚原和龍剛的電影 5.3 60年代電影產業的一些特有現象，以及六七暴動和無線電視廣播對香港電影的影響，及至最後香港粵語片停產的原因。 Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 5 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 5: “Changes in Hong Kong Cinema in the 1960s” The 1960s for the Hong Kong film industry was, for the most part, a continuation of the 1950s. Many key directors and screenwriters of the era had their origins rooted in the group that emerged in the 1950s; as such, creative theories in regard to filmmaking changed little during this time. However, during the 1960s, Hong Kong's economy had begun to break off from the economically impoverished state of the 1950s, entering instead into a relative period of prosperity. For Cantonese cinema, tragic art films were gradually replaced by “Family Style” middle-class and young family comedies. These films celebrated the self-supported “Factory Girl” and youth films that focused on the worry of a new generation that might be led astray. These gave rise to then-upcoming stars like Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-Fong, who had fervent film fanbases. As for Mandarin Films, their economic growth created an attitude of pursuing individual freedom, leading to Chang Cheh's use of Wuxia films to appeal to masculine audiences—completely changing the tradition of female movie stars dominating Hong Kong and even Chinese Cinema. In this fifth episode of the podcast, we have three segments, each focusing on the following topics; 5.1 The overall characteristics of the Hong Kong film industry in the 1960s, with a specific focus on discussing three popular Cantonese film genres, including martial arts films, romantic comedies featuring married couples, and youth musical films. 5.2 How the paradigm shift in popular Chang Cheh's Mandarin martial arts films of the 1960s influenced subsequent Hong Kong films. Additionally, there is a specific emphasis on discussing the films of directors Cheung Po Kin (Chu Yuan) and Lung Kong. 5.3 Some unique phenomena in the 1960s film industry, the impact of the six-seven riots and wireless TV broadcasting on Hong Kong cinema, and finally, the reasons for the cessation of Hong Kong Cantonese films. ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

One is an illegal immigrant on the run from a ruthless Hong Kong gangster. The other, a struggling student from Taiwan just trying to make his father proud. Their paths cross in the most unlikely of circumstances, but together they must survive the mean streets of…. CHINATOWN! That's right, this week we are taking a look at the 1977 Shaw Brothers Kung Fu classic, ‘Chinatown Kid'. Directed by genre pioneer Chang Cheh, and starring one of the biggest superstars of the era, Alexander Fu Sheng, this gripping tale of struggle, brotherhood, and revenge, delivers plenty of hard-hitting action, as well as a surprising amount of social commentary as well. Today's episode is extra long as we spend a good 30 minutes trying to dissect how many different versions/edits there are of this film, and how the plot completely changes depending on which version you watch! We also take a look at the amazing Kung Fu battles, the thematic elements which make it a surprising entry in the long list of Hong Kong migration films, as well the interesting and tragic career of Alexander Fu Sheng. Don't forget to subscribe, download, like, and share with your friends! Thanks again for the continued support and we hope you enjoy!

It's Shawtember, baby! This week heading back to the land of Chang Cheh and the Venom Mob as we talking 1978's Crippled Avengers. Listen as we try desperately to sidestep the political incorrectness of Chiang Sheng's character's ailment. We ask "What do those rings on those swords do?" and Devan reveals that she doesn't care for the Venoms' empty handed fight scenes. Pure blasphemy. Later, we get into listener questions. You get to hear about how I'd slap Kevin Smith and Cyrus tries to mime a sex act on an audio podcast.
Die zwei furchtlosen Schwertkämpfer des Nachtprogramms wetzen noch einmal die Klingen und begeben sich sodann auf einen Streifzug in die Vergangenheit, weiter zurück als je zuvor, nicht nur in die 70er Jahre, sondern sogar in die ausklingenden 60er, die Blütezeit des sogenannten "Easterns", die Hochzeit der legendären "Shaw Brothers". Während Sergej damit weitestgehend Neuland betritt, muss Martin heraus finden, ob seine profunden Kenntnisse des jüngeren Hongkong-Kinos auch hier von Nutzen sind. Natürlich wird in der Geschichte des Studios herum gestochert, eigene Erfahrungen heran gezogen werden, im Zentrum sollen aber zwei Filme des wohl profiliertesten Regisseurs der Hongkonger Filmfabrik, Chang Cheh, stehen, beide aus der gleichen Schaffensperiode des Meisters, beide mit den gleichen Hauptdarstellern: "Die Todespagode des gelben Tigers" und "Das Schwert des gelben Tigers", international bekannt als "Have Sword, Will Travel" und "The New One-Armed Swordsman". Findet mit den Kämpen vom Nachtprogramm heraus, ob man trotz der Ähnlichkeiten beide Filme gesehen haben muss, ob vielleicht auch einer von beiden reicht oder ob das alles sowieso veralteter Schnee von Vorvorgestern ist, der getrost dem Vergessen anheim fallen darf!

Our intrepid trio stay within the realm of Romance Of The Three Kingdoms, to cover sone non-Shaw cinematic adaptations of that material, including the last of Chang Cheh.
We're back after a bit of a hiatus! On today's show, Re-Gor and Patsy discuss the Shaw Brothers film Sword Stained with Royal Blood from 1981 and the spaghetti western The Mercenary from 1968. In Sword Stained with Royal Blood havoc breaks out when a warrior on the run uncovers a sword, training manual, treasure map and a secret message on the body of a deceased master. The Mercenary concerns Sergei Kowalski (Franco Nero), a mercenary only out for himself and a few dollars, who joins up with a Mexican peasant-turned-revolutionary, Paco Roman (Tony Musante) -- when the price is right. No longer content to toil for the rich and powerful, Roman plans to bring a new order to Mexico by force with his small ragtag group. While Roman and Kowalski are outnumbered facing the Mexican army, they also have to contend with Curly (Jack Palance), a vengeful killer out for blood. Join us for a fun discussion!

Great cinematography and fighting as always, and we had a hilarious time dissecting this film! In the 5-Man Army, Peter Graves stars as a man who puts a team together for an almost impossible mission of robbing gold from a heavily guarded train. Bud Spencer co-stars and it's great seeing these guys team up!! So check out these great films and come back for our discussion!

Happy holidays, everyone! 'Tis the season for merriment, goodwill to your fellow man, and watching people beat the living hell out of each other, or at least it is on “Physical Media Isn't Dead, It Just Smells Funny.” There's something in the air within the world of physical distribution. It seems that the time has come for balletic martial arts and high-octane action films to get their time to shine. On this month's episode, we have three labels and all of them have brought some of the greatest films featuring fast and furious fists and a symphony of squibs. New to the round-up this month we have 88 Films US, a label that specializes in martial arts films from the golden age of the medium. Their contribution is the workers' rights-infused Shaw Brothers film directed by legend Chang Cheh, Disciples of Shaolin, starring the charismatic Alexander Fu Sheng. Kino Lorber doubles down this month with Mei-Chun Chang's follow-up to the thoroughly entertaining Dynasty with Revenge of the Shogun Women, another collaboration with the 3-D Film Archive and their initiative to seemingly bring you eye-popping action whenever they can. Kino Lorber has also decided to grace us with an HD and 4K release of John Woo's American debut film, the 1993 film Hard Target, starring Jean Claude Van Damme's mullet and Wilford Brimley's Cajun accent (along with Jean Claude Van Damme and Wilford Brimley). For such an occasion I had the opportunity to sit down with CMCL PhD candidate and all-around lovely person Jessie Balzer to discuss what makes Jean Claude Van Damme compelling and just what is going on with Lance Henrikson's physical performance in this film. Finally, for my pick of the month, I swing back around to Criterion's November release of the staggering Once Upon a Time in China: The Complete Films boxset -- a must-own for anyone even vaguely interested in exploring the world of Hong Kong action cinema. Limber up and get ready for a month of grace, violence, and doves making welcome appearances into the frame. You can read the rest of the reviews over at the IU Cinema blog
Patsy and I return to our regular format as we delve back into the Venom films and a Bud Spencer film! First up is The Rebel Intruders from 1980. Three refugees become sworn brothers during a war. One (Kuo Chui/Philip Kwok) works in a whore house, one (Chiang Sheng) in a gambling house, and the other (Lo Mang) in a martial arts school. They become embroiled in the war and are betrayed by one's mentor. And in Today We Kil, Tomorrow We Die! (1968) Brett Halsey stars as a Django lookalike who goes on the warpath to avenge the death of his wife. Bud Spencer teams up with him, this time without Terence Hill! The film was co-written by Dario Argento, and we discuss his influence that can clearly be seen in this movie! Patsy the Angry Nerd and his podcasts can be found at throwdownthursdaypodcast.com.

This episode is not going to be our usual one in which we take a deep dive first into a Shaw Brothers film, then a Spaghetti Western movie. This episode is a primer intended for new listeners, as well as helping current listeners bone up on their Shaw and Spaghetti movies, or even to maybe clarify things that weren't clear before. Patsy and I are joined by two experts on both Shaw and Spaghetti: John Grace from Midnight Movie Cowboys and a man known only as Sevenhooks! We discuss actors, directors, and writers that we've only talked about on the show so far, but there will be some mention of ones that we didn't. We had such an enjoyable and informative conversation that it was well over three and a half hours! Therefore, we've split it into two parts, for your enjoyment! We also revisit the first four movies covered in Episode 1 & 2, since Patsy was not present for those: 5 Deadly Venoms, Stranger and the Gunfighter, Crippled Avengers, and Django! Even if you're a long time listener, you won't want to miss this one because there is a lot of information imparted here that we haven't discussed on the show before! Enjoy!

We continue to dive further into the Venom Mob films of the Shaw Brothers, and Terence Hill's Spaghetti Western legacy. The Venoms films are hitting their stride like a well oiled machine, and Terence Hill gives a similar performance to that of the character Trinity, but is so good at it that it leaves you wanting more! Patsy the Angry nerd and I had a lot of fun covering today's films. This episode we discuss The Flag of Iron (1980) - When the virtuous Iron Flag Clan are ambushed by the Eagle Clan, the Flags' leader is assassinated by a paid killer known as the Spearman, the eldest brother Chao Feng becomes the head of the Flags. However, the Eagles' leader is also killed in the melee and the remainder of the Eagle clan go to the police about the death of their leader – forcing the police to at least appear to take action. To save the Flag clan, brother Lo takes the fall and agrees to go into exile. Upon learning that the Flags have taken over the Eagles and are perhaps more corrupt than the Eagles ever were, Lo vows to return home along with some help, and fix things once and for all. And we discussed the Spaghetti Western, My Name is Nobody (1973), starring the aforementioned Terence Hill and instead of Bud Spencer, this time he's teamed with the legendary Hollywood icon, Henry Fonda! Fonda plays an aging gunslinger who is just looking to retire until he meets Hill who is just referred to as “Nobody” and worships the oldster. Nobody explains that Beauregard (Fonda) can't just fade away into obscurity, but needs to go out in style! Surprisingly, this was an idea by Sergio Leone, (who also produced it) and is a comedy. We go into great depth on this film, peeling away the layers of another picture that attempts to “deconstruct” the Spaghetti Western genre...this time by the guy who practically invented it! The Flag of Iron DVD can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/FlagOfIronDVD My Name is Nobody is currently streaming on Amazon Prime (as of 6/10/21).

On today's episode, Patsy the Angry Nerd and I discuss a couple of really good ones: 2 Champions of Shaolin from the Shaw Brothers, and the Spaghetti Western, Trinity is Still My Name with Terence Hill and Bud Spencer. In Champions, Two young warriors from the Ming loyalist Shaolin Clan are engaged in a deadly secret mission that could bring down the Qing empire. The Venoms are back except for Philip Kwok who sat this one out, but helped with the fight choreography. In Trinity, Bambino tries to teach his brother Trinity how to become an outlaw, but the two wind up saving a pioneer family and breaking up an arms ring instead. This movie is hilarious and a must see! We also get into some discussion about the Drive-In Super Monster Rama, as well as some correspondence, so check it out! Trinity is Still My Name is available on Amazon Prime.

The parallels between Shaw Brothers films and Spaghetti Westerns continues to amaze us! Through no conscious intent, both films we cover on today's episode delve into religion as a major theme throughout. In the Shaw Brothers film, Shaolin Hellgate (aka Heaven and Hell - 1980) guest starring The Venoms, we find a psychedelic mashup of a bunch of things, but to simplify it, it's like West Side Story meets Dante's Inferno! It's a crazy trip through Heaven, Earth, and Hell and Patsy and I had fun scratching our heads trying to figure it out! Lee Yi Min stars as one of Heaven's guards exiled to Earth for helping a couple elope, and ends up in Hell where he must gather a team of honest wrongdoers (as opposed to evildoers) so they can fight their way out of Hell. On the Spaghetti Western side, since we've covered Terence Hill and Bud Spencer's first trilogy, we not dive into their next two films, starting with They Call me Trinity (1970). Hill and Spencer are excellent in what is undoubtedly one of the best Spaghetti Westerns we've covered so far! Terence Hill stars as a lazy, unorthodox gunfighter and Bud Spencer plays his portly, horse-thieving brother. Together, they must defend a Mormon settlement from a land-grabbing Major, a Mexican bandit, and their henchmen! A fun, if offbeat, double feature! As of this posting, They Call Me Trinity is on Amazon Prime. Shaolin Hellgate (aka Heaven and Hell) is available at: https://classickungfumovies.com/products/heaven-and-hell-a-k-a-shaolin-hell-gate-1979?_pos=1&_sid=ca2d10b39&_ss=r (The East Meets the West is in no way affiliated with Amazon Prime or classickungfumovies.com) Patsy the Angry Nerd and his podcasts can be found at throwdownthursdaypodcast.com.

On today's episode, Patsy the Angry Nerd and I discuss the Shaw Brothers film, Shaolin Daredevils (aka The Daredevils) from 1979 another Chang Cheh directed film which once again unites all of the Venom Mob, and the Spaghetti Western, Boot Hill (1969) – the third in the trilogy directed by Guiseppe Colizzi and Starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer who reprise their roles as Cat and Hutch. Through no purposeful planning, we are finding more and more similarities between Spaghetti Westerns and Shaw Brothers films! Both of today's movies involve acrobatics of some kind – performance by the Venom Mob as they attempt to get revenge for one of their fallen brothers, and through the circus performers that are at the heart of Boot Hill. So if you can find these films and watch them before listening to this episode, we heartily recommend it. As of this posting, Boot Hill is on Amazon Prime. But do not be fooled by Prime's listing of Shaolin Daredevils under the simple title, Daredevils. The only authentic version of the film in question was found available at: https://classickungfumovies.com/products/daredevils-of-kung-fu-aka-the-daredevils-1979?_pos=1&_sid=f9b8d2684&_ss=r (The East Meets the West is in no way affiliated with Amazon Prime or classickungfumovies.com) Patsy the Angry Nerd and his podcasts can be found at throwdownthursdaypodcast.com.

On today's episode, Patsy the Angry Nerd and I cover the Shaw Brothers film, The Magnificent Ruffians from 1979, once again uniting all of the Venom Mob; and Ace High from 1968, the sequel to God Forgives...I don't, starring Terence Hill and Bud Spencer who reprise their roles as Cat and Hutch. In Magnificent Ruffians, a cruel Kung-Fu Master, living in the early 20th century, when Kung-Fu warriors became scarce due to modern weaponry, lures 4 Kung Fu masters to his house so that he can trick them into killing his rival, then ultimately killing them! A fast paced, fun movie! In Ace High, Cat and Hutch return and tangle with the wily Eli Wallach (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly), who has stolen their money that they acquired in the first film, and is giving it away while on his own path of vengeance upon the men who framed him for murder 15 years prior. Patsy and I had some great belly laughs as we discussed these films, and we hope you find this episode entertaining and informative!

As we delve further into Shaw Brothers films and Spaghetti Western movies, Patsy the Angry Nerd and I realize that we are still just barely scratching the surface. Our films this episode are Shaolin Rescuers (aka Avenging Warriors of Shaolin) from 1979, and the Spaghetti Western, God Forgives...I Don't! from 1967. God Forgives...I Don't! is the first teaming of Terence Hill and Bud Spencer; a co-starring relationship that the two would have for several years, as their on-screen chemistry is so amazing! After a train is robbed of its payroll, a card-shark and insurance investigator team up to retrieve the money from the evil bandits who keep it hidden at a secret location near the Mexican border. We are definitely looking forward to discussing more films that this silver screen team appears in! Shaolin Rescuers concerns two friends who long to leave their humdrum lives and become heroes. They get embroiled in a battle with a WuTan warlord and his squad of villains, while being helped by a Kung Fu student, and a rebel. Of the Venom Mob films we've covered so far, this is perhaps the most action-packed movie we've seen! Amazing stunts, acrobatics and martial arts fights make this one definitely worth seeking out!

Wènhòu péngyǒu! (Greetings friends!) We've got a fun episode for you, and it's the last episode of 2020! Re-Gor and Patsy the Angry Nerd take the year out with a bang as they cover the Shaw Brothers film, Masked Avengers from 1981 and the spaghetti western, The Return of Ringo from 1965! In the first feature, a gang of masked evildoers terrorize the countryside and it's up to a band of heroes to take them down! The second is the sequel to “A Pistol for Ringo” and is a very different and much darker tale than the first one! As we examine the Masked Avengers, we delve a little deeper into Phillip Kwok's career, and discuss what are referred to as the 2nd Tier Venoms – they were usually actors who played a supporting Villain with Lu Feng, and appeared in many of the Venom Mob movies. The 2nd Tier Venoms who appear in Masked Avengers are as follows: Chu Ko – who played Liang Yung here. Chin Siu-Ho – who played Chang Chung (as Hsiao Hau Chien) here. Wang Li – who played Fong Su Kwong here. We will discuss more 2nd Tier Venoms as they show up in future films. Patsy the Angry Nerd and his podcasts can be found at throwdownthursdaypodcast.com. As always, please leave us a great review at iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you download your podcasts, so others can find the show!

Howdy Pardners! It's time once again for an episode of The East Meets the West! In this episode, Patsy the Angry Nerd and I cover the Shaw Brothers film, The Kid with the Golden Arm (1979), and the Spaghetti Western flick, A Pistol for Ringo (1965)! The Venom Mob are in top form here, once again directed by Chang Cheh, but it is sadly the last time all 5 Venoms would star in together - Sun Chien, Lo Meng, Kuo Chue (Phillip Kwok), Lu Feng and Wei Bai. This was due to the fact that Wei Bai had health issues. The plot revolves around a group of warriors who must protect some much needed gold that is headed to a famine-ridden area of ancient China, but they must face the dreaded Chi Sa gang and their leader Golden Arm who is nigh invulnerable! In A Pistol for Ringo, the eponymous gunslinger must infiltrate a group of bad guys who have taken a family and their servants hostage, before they end up killing them all! For those who are keeping track of the Shaw Brothers actors, we've listed the Venom Mob here and the characters they played in previous films: Lu Feng - Silver Spear here (Pao Siao Tung/Bao Shanxiong in Invincible Shaolin, #1 Centipede in 5 Venoms and Dao Chang (School friend of Tu Tin-To) in Crippled Avengers) Wei Pai - Swordsman Li Qing Ming here (Mai Feng in Invincible Shaolin, #2 Snake in 5 Venoms) Sun Chien - Yang Hu Yun here (Hsu Fong/Xu Fang in Invincible Shaolin, #3 Scorpion in 5 Venoms and Ah-Kuei (LEGS) in Crippled Avengers) Phillip Kwok (aka Kuo Chui) - Sheriff Hai To here (Ho Yen Wu/He Yingwu in Invincible Shaolin, #4 Lizard in 5 Venoms and Lin Wing, aka BLIND in Crippled Avengers) Lo Meng - Golden Arm Kid here, (Ho Ming Pao/Zhangcheng in Invincible Shaolin, #5 Toad in 5 Venoms and Wei Jia-Jie (DEAF and DUMB) in Crippled Avengers) Chiang Sheng - Short Axe Fang Shih here, (Chun Fei/Yang Zhongfei in Invincible Shaolin, The Student in 5 Venoms and Wang Yi (IDIOT) in Crippled Avengers) Patsy the Angry Nerd and his podcasts can be found at throwdownthursdaypodcast.com.

We're back! After a ridiculous hiatus, The East Meets the West returns on a regular basis, with Patsy the Angry Nerd! This episode we cover the another Chang Cheh directed Shaw Brothers film, Invincible Shaolin (1978), also starring the Venom Mob! Our second feature covered is the 1967 Lee Van Cleef picture, Death Rides a Horse! Patsy and I had great fun exploring these movies, in particular because he's never seen a Spaghetti Western or Shaw Brothers film! If you haven't either, it's never too late! Check out The East Meets the West and listen to what you've been missing! For those playing along at home, here is the list of actors, followed by the character they played here, the character they played in 5 Venoms, and if they were in Crippled Avengers, the character they played there: Lu Feng - played Pao Siao Tung/Bao Shanxiong here (#1 Centipede in 5 Venoms and Dao Chang (School friend of Tu Tin-To) in Crippled Avengers) Wei Pai - played Mai Feng here (#2 Snake in 5 venoms) Sun Chien - played Hsu Fong/Xu Fang here (#3 Scorpion in 5 Venoms and Ah-Kuei (LEGS) in Crippled Avengers) Phillip Kwok (aka Kuo Chui) - played Ho Yen Wu/He Yingwu (#4 Lizard in 5 Venoms and Lin Wing, aka BLIND in Crippled Avengers) Lo Mang - played Ho Ming Pao/Zhangcheng here (#5 Toad in 5 Venoms and Wei Jia-Jie (DEAF and DUMB) in Crippled Avengers) Chiang Sheng - played Chun Fei/Yang Zhongfei here (The Student in 5 Venoms and Wang Yi (IDIOT) in Crippled Avengers) Patsy the Angry Nerd and his podcasts can be found at throwdownthursdaypodcast.com.
