Inizio timidamente questa nuova rubrica delle Recensioni CaRfatiche Podcast. Di tanto in tanto, sceglierò qualche titolo da cui è stato tratto un remake e, sempre in maniera molto leggera, vedrò di fare qualche confronto e riflessione su entrambe le pellicole.Partiamo da un originale e un remake che portano la firma dello stesso regista, ovvero John Woo.La storia è sempre quella di un abile killer che tenta di rimediare al fatto di aver provocato la cecità ad una vittima collaterale, durante una sua missione. Il confronto, in questo caso è abbastanza impietoso e già l'atmosfera orientale dell'originale è molto al di sopra della frenesia e laccatura americana del remake, senza contare la straordinaria interpretazione offerta da Chow Yun - Fat.Voi li avete visti entrambi? E quale avete preferito?Parliamone assieme...intanto, buon ascolto.
Die glotzenden Zimbelaffen Lea, Micha und Janno machen sich auf eine neue Reise rund um die Filmwelt und schauen sich in der neuen Connection "Monks around the world" an, wie und warum es verschiedenste Mönche auf die große Leinwand geschafft haben. In dieser Episode geht es gemeinsam mit Chow Yun Fat und Seann William Scott nach New York, um dort gemeinsam eine magische Schriftrolle vor fiese Nazis zu schützen. Fernöstliche Kampfkunst trifft auf die rohen Straßen der US-Metropole und wird zum Schauplatz einer Entscheidungsschlacht von Gut und Böse. Intro und Outro stammen von Wolf Music, zu finden auf Soundcloud.com
In this episode of the show, we are beginning what will be our February mini-survey of the cinema of Antoine Fuqua, which also coincides with Black History Month celebrated in America and Canada. And we begin this journey with a conversation about his debut feature The Replacement Killers. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about the way this movie attempts to transplant Hong Kong action movies into a Hollywood setting, the likely influence of John Woo on the production and on the star power of Chow Yun-Fat. We also talk about what Antoine Fuqua brings to the table, Mira Sorvino's True Romance vibes and the many bombastic moments The Replacement Killers is filled with. Tune in and enjoy!

Les biopics de chanteurs, c'est désormais un peu comme la fashion week : on ne sait jamais vraiment quand ça s'arrête. Après ceux d'Amy Winehouse et de Bob Marley au printemps, en attendant ceux, plus intrigants, de Pharrell Williams, en lego ou de Robbie Williams incarné par… un singe en images de synthèse (!!!), voici celui de Charles Aznavour. Ce n'est rien de dire que l'on était intrigué par Grand Corps Malade et Mehdi Idir, jusque-là dépositaires de bonnes comédies sociales, aux commandes de ce projet. Et plus encore par Tahar Rahim, casté pour incarner l'auteur-interprète de "La Bohème" ou "Emmenez-moi". Malgré un maquillage un brin envahissant, comment pourtant ne pas clamer "vient voir le comédien" devant son impressionnante performance caméléon ? À l'inverse, la mise en scène, dans un même registre que La Môme, modèle clairement visé, souffre parfois d'un côté tape-à-l'œil. Sans doute pour éviter de regarder un peu trop près les raccourcis d'un scénario occultant nombre de moments clés de la vie d'Aznavour. Heureusement, c'est au profit d'une idée centrale, elle judicieuse, quand Monsieur Aznavour descelle un minimum une statue du commandeur de la chanson française par le portrait d'un homme avide de succès, quitte à y sacrifier sa vie de famille. Pas de quoi faire un film "formi-formi-formidable" – en dépit d'un casting de rôles secondaires, notamment Marie-Julie Baup, géniale en Edith Piaf qui lui l'est - mais au moins un biopic qui sort un minimum des clous pour ne pas être qu'une séance de karaoké.John Woo, lui y est retourné avec un auto-remake de The Killer. Le film qui avait fait connaître au monde entier le réalisateur hong-kongais est donc revu et corrigé 35 ans plus tard. Nathalie Emmanuel y reprend le rôle de tueur à gage tourmenté rendu iconique par Chow Yun Fat et Omar Sy celui du flic lui courant après. Woo pensait peut-être boucler la boucle en venant tourner à Paris ce remake d'un film originel en partie sous influence du Samouraï, le classique de Jean-Pierre Melville. Encore aurait-il fallu que cette nouvelle mouture ne soit pas sabrée par un scénario réduisant ses personnages à des caricatures, amplifiées par un casting unis dans un cabotinage digne d'un épisode de Capitaine Marleau. Il subsiste un savoir-faire dans les scènes d'action ou certains effets signatures de Woo, d'une vision romantique du Bien et du Mal ou un lâcher de colombes au ralenti. Rien qui n'évite cependant l'impression, d'être cette fois-ci pris pour des pigeons.Monsieur Aznavour/The Killer. En salles le 23 octobre
His 1989 film "The Killer" is a cult classic of Hong Kong action cinema, featuring John Woo's dynamic style as a filmmaker and highlighting Chow Yun-Fat's charisma as its protagonist. Woo has now revisited the film for a 21st-century audience, shifting the action to Paris and putting Nathalie Emmanuel in the leading role, a femme fatale with a strong sense of remorse. We caught up with cast at the film's Paris premiere, where Omar Sy told us more about playing the good cop and doing his own stunts. We also get the latest from the El Gouna Film Festival in Egypt, as FRANCE 24's Lyana Saleh explains how the geopolitical context is affecting the event.
This week, we are talking about our return to the New Beverly Cinema for a double dose of Hong Kong action madness! Starting off with a Chow Yun-Fat heroic bloodshed entry with ‘City War', and followed by an action adventure epic in ‘The Legend of Wisely', listen in as we break down these two super fun films and all of our usual activities that go along with these bad ass screenings at Tarantino's New Beverly Cinema!

On this episode we check out the latest film from John Woo, The Killer, the 2024 remake of his 1989 classic action film, moving the action from Hong Kong to Paris with Nathalie Emmanuel taking the Chow Yun Fat role of a hitman with a heart of gold. Does the film do enough to justify a remake? And does a John Woo film automatically equal good pop in today's pop culture landscape?What's Popping? - Vietnam, Culinary Class Wars, FootballFollow our hosts:Marvin Yueh - @marvinyuehJess Ju - @jessjutweetsHanh Nguyen - @hanhonymousFollow the show and engage with us at @goodpopclubPart of the Potluck Podcast CollectiveProduced by HappyEcstatic MediaMentioned in this episode:Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations.

PODDLOVET är förbi! Efter en besynnerligt lång sommarpaus är pojkarna tillbaka bakom mikrofonerna. Mogna och hungriga. Och filmerna är lika gamla som förr. I det första avsnittet av höstsäsongen tar sig podden an martial arts romantiken i CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON (2000). En megaklassiker av Ang Lee prydd med 10 oscarsnomineringar. Haij-jah! Och på något sätt får 96-06 podcast också denna period-film jämförbar med Österbottens historia på 90-talet. Allt är ju precis som i Vasa, också Chow Yun Fat och Michelle Yeoh har väl rötterna i the old country. I övriga nyheter så har Tage blivit häpen under bricklunchen medan Joel har upplevt en semi-besvikelse i bio-stolen. Så. Välkommen action-hösten. Och du hittar oss på alla sedvanliga kanaler och ring om du vill nåt.
What do, a story of the struggle to reclaim a magic sword in ancient China, and the origin of a master of Martial Arts who must battle his Father, have in common?

EPISODE #417-- We return to our roots with the Hong Kong schlock fest THE SEVENTH CURSE (1986). Directed by the same maniac that made RIKI-O: THE STORY OF RICKY and staring Chow Yun Fat (barely), it's a wild one. Not quite Indiana Jones and not quite a martial arts movie. It's a melange of madness that you just have to see to believe. We also talk about the original MAD MAX (1979), Ford's THE SEARCHER (1956), LILO & STITCH (2002), Edward Zwick's THE LAST SAMURAI (2003), and, once again, we talk about Akira Kurosawa's RAN (1985).

It's hard to believe 1989 was 35 years ago. Damn...we's old. Aaaaaaaanyway, this movie still holds up and has all the John Woo-isms that we've come to know and love. Doves everywhere, endless ammunition in handguns, Mexican standoffs left and right...it's glorious. If you think so too, then this film review and talk through is for YOU.Consider subscribing to our podcast! It really helps us to get into more people's heads...literally. If you can leave us a 5-star review at iTunes or on Amazon or something (anywhere, actually, would be just dandy), that would make us completely love you until Chow Yun Fat runs out of bullets.

Es wird Zeit, dass im Nachtprogramm endlich einmal über den Mann gesprochen wird, dessen Art und Weise der Actioninszenierung stilbildend für viele teure und billige Actionfilme der Neunziger und frühen Nullerjahre wirkte. Die Rede ist von John Woo, und wir fackeln gar nicht lange sonder beginnen unser Gespräch über den "Meister der Zerstörung" sogleich mit seinem legendären Ballerfest "Hard Boiled" aus dem Jahre 1992, bekanntermaßen sein letzter Hongkong-Film. Da wird nostalgisch geschwelgt, die Coolness sowohl von Chow Yun-Fat als auch Tony Leung gewürdigt und bewundert, über die viele Action gemeckert,..., Moment, was? Nun, man lasse sich überraschen! Und da wir Filme gerne im Doppelpack besprechen, schieben wir gleich noch "Just Heroes" von 1989 hinterher, der hierzulande mit einiger Verspätung als "Hard Boiled 2" in die Videotheken kam. Ein idiotischer Einfall, fürwahr, für uns jedoch ein Zeichen, dem wir gerne folgten. Nun also viel Spaß, Bühne frei, es wird geballert!

He was soon writing screenplays for, among others, Phoenix Pictures, TNT, MTV Films, Castle Rock Entertainment, ABC, NBC, CBS, Warner Brothers, Sony Pictures and Disney. He has developed screenplays for Matthew McConaughey, Nicolas Cage, Barry Sonnenfeld, Chow-Yun Fat and many others. WINCHESTER, the film he co-wrote starring Helen Mirren and Jason Clarke, about the infamous Winchester Mystery House, opened nationwide in 2018. His eighth film, THE QUEEN MARY will release in August 2023 and DADDY'S GIRL for XYZ Films will shoot later this year (WGA strike willing.)

Join us as we celebrate Halloween with a review of a little known Golden Harvest cult horror film: The Seventh Curse (1986). Loosely based on the popular Dr. Yuen series of Chinese novels about a globe trotting wealthy doctor, versed in the martial arts, and his confrontations with the supernatural, this highly entertaining adventure film from director Lam Ngai Kai (best known for the infamous Story of Ricky) features a talented cast of Hong Kong stars such as Chin-Sui Ho, Chow Yun-Fat, and Maggie Cheung; however, the real star of the show is arguably the picture's wild, thrill a minute, never ending spectacle, in which truly anything goes -- over the top martial arts and exciting gun play, anxiety inducing stunt work and cool creature effects, and a vast assortment of pulp adventure and horror tropes, from exotic locales, alluring damsels, trashy nudity, and insensitive stereotypes, to deadly blood cults, ancient curses, child sacrifices, and HR Giger inspired monsters -- anything goes so long as it entertains!

Our bud Travis joins us to talk FIVE movies that hit DVD in March 2002! We chat Jet Li's THE ONE, Oliver Stone's NIXON, David Mamet's HEIST, Chow Yun-Fat and Mira Sorvino in THE REPLACEMENT KILLERS, and the Paul Walker trucker movie JOY RIDE.
“To repress one's feelings only makes them stronger.” We watched Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with our friend Nikolas Romero this week and our backs hurt just watching these stunts. Suffice it to say that we've been obsessed with Michelle Yeoh for over two decades and this movie is a huge reason why. She's been having a moment with her Best Actress Oscar win, but we've been on board this whole time. Chow Yun-Fat may be playing the greatest swordsman in China but its Yeoh and Ziyi Zhang's characters who walk away with the entire movie. Jen (Zhang) and Shu Lien (Yeoh) are really schooling us on gender roles in traditional society and their fight scenes are some of best we've seen. We also live for Jen's scorned master Jade Fox (Pei Pei Cheng), flying in and out of fight scenes like a wicked witch. Martial Arts movies may traidionally be a male dominated genre, but Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon shows it doesn't have to be that way.

Hansal Mehta joins us for a chat on two of his early films, Dil Pe Mat Le Yaar and Chhal. One's a black comedy about end of innocence. The other's a sharp action drama centered around betrayal.

Countdown #429 Why break down the best ten films from individual countries on a whole continent when you can group them all together and kill many birds with one stone?

This week, Michelle Yeoh reunites with TOMORROW NEVER DIES director Roger Spottiswoode in 2008's THE CHILDREN OF HUANG SHI, a historical drama depicting a time period that we've covered pretty extensively on this podcast in the past. Yeoh plays a supporting role in the story of reporter George Hogg alongside Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Radha Mitchell, and Chow Yun-Fat!
In 1992, the Hong Kong crime-thriller Hard Boiled was released internationally and blew the minds of audiences everywhere. The film established actor Chow Yun-Fat as a worldwide star and director John Woo as an absolute master of cinematic action. We discuss Hard Boiled's influence on American moviemakers, the electric performance by Fat playing a Dirty Harry-styled cop, the film's somewhat fraught production, and other movies in the gun fu subgenre such as The Killer, Equilibrium, and John Wick. We also debate Hard Boiled's legacy against the long and vast canon of action films.
Claude really wanted to call this episode "Girls Kicking Ass," but he chickened out and didn't try to talk Sean into changing it, so "Female Thieves" it was and "Female Thieves" it remained. (Yes, we've used a few of Claude's titles, and Sean is kind enough not to roll his eyes too hard as he acquiesces.) But the fact is, the girls do kick ass in these two films, and they don't even bother taking names, 'cause that's just going to slow them down in their pursuit of whatever they're pursuing. And while both of these films involve women and their capers, it's interesting to see that they have vastly different approaches to them, based on circumstance and motivation. To that end, we begin with 2000's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It's directed by Ang Lee and stars Chow Yun Fat and Michelle Yeoh. The film is a highly-stylized Wuxia film whose action sequences are simultaneously tough to believe and breathtakingly beautiful. In part 2, we'll jump to 2018 and Widows, directed by Steve McQueen. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wordsandmovies/support
This is not hyperbole: Margaret Cho is so mother for this. "This" means appearing on Las Cultch with Matt & Bowen in a true time of need. The three friends and Fire Island co-stars discuss bouncing back from a breakup, dick as a metaphor for love and romance, and whether sex actually helps as a coping mechanism in life. Also, Margaret's dog Lucia (whose presence is like medicine), the POWER of Pedro Pascal, the POWER of Chow Yun Fat, and the POWER of John Travolta (at least at one point. All this, The Grammys, Beyoncé, Olivia Newton John's Bad Sandy transformation, hagsploitation, "The Hillsong Aesthetic", Reese & Ashton's awkward press tour, Tiffany Pollard, Monique as host of Charm School, Robyn Dixon's latest flop, The Cut's Etiquette Rules, The Geneva Convention and recent Madonna discourse.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, a patron pick by Pete, is a visual and audible treat. A sweeping epic about love, loyalty, lust and oppression, and a genre-defining Hollywood game-changer when it came to bringing Chinese wuxia martial arts films over to Western audiences. From terrific performances by Chow Yun Fat, Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Ziyi, to stunning cinematography and outstanding fight choreography, it's a movie that truly has something for everyone. Despite critical and commercial acclaim in the west, it wasn't well received everywhere though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmOYLyIiL1g (Laura Suen analyses the fight scene between Yu Jen and Yu Shu Lien in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) I would love to hear your thoughts on Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon !

On this episode of X-Ray Vision, Jason Concepcion and Rosie Knight go verse-jumping with Michelle Yeoh! First in Previously On (3:14), Jason and Rosie discuss the news that Warner Bros. is hitting pause on upcoming projects with Ezra Miller, theorize about the latest Ms. Marvel and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness trailers, and recap episode two of the Disney+ limited series Moon Knight. In the Airlock (41:44), they dive deep (deeeep) into the A24 film Everything Everywhere All at Once (in theaters now!) and the masterful ways EEAO plays with genre, offers thrills, laughs, and heart, explores mental health, and, of course, celebrates its iconic cast (James Hong anyone!?). Then, in the Hive Mind (1:01:45), Jason and Rosie are joined by the Daniels, the writer/director duo behind Everything Everywhere All at Once, to discuss the multiverse as a story tool to explore morality, the brilliance of Hong Kong cinema, how the film pulled off its incredible stunt work, and the importance of telling inter-generational Asian-American stories. In Nerd Out (1:37:19) a listener pitches us on the creative comics partnership between Jeff Lemire & Andrea Sorrentino and in the Endgame (1:41:07), Jason and Rosie offer Hong Kong movie recommendations for before or after you see EEAO.
