We're tapping the O.G. Shaw Brothers well for another classic this week as we cover The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter. We talk New Year's Eve stuff and debut a new segment before heading to the 2 Fast 2 Furious Minute (23:05) to spend a LOT of time parsing out where people live in 2F2F. Then, we avenge our families as we break down The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter (42:00). We wonder: Is Gordon Liu the G.O.A.T.? We talk about the unexpected and sad twist behind the scenes, the amazing (and unexpected) fights in the movie, and how it's really all about family. Plus, Joe explains why this is the squishiest movie he's ever seen. Email us: family@cageclub.me Visit our Patreon page at patreon.com/2fast2forever.  Show your support at the 2 Fast 2 Forever shop!

In this episode we tackle the strange and hilarious adventures of Orlando, the man who was until he wasn’t, and the strange gender explorations of the last 400 years of English rule. Also, a ton of great questions. leading to one of our beefier episodes!The VoIP Life about movie watching and criticism that we made free for everyone! https://www.patreon.com/posts/33203905Listener Shoumik sent in a list of Hong Kong movies that they recommend people check out! We haven’t vetted these, but hey, if you’re looking for suggestions this seems like a solid place to start. Thanks for the list!Kung Fu – Martial arts movies that are (broadly) set in the real world Knockabout (1979) – Before he became a breakout superstar, Jackie Chan was part of a trio with two other great martial arts performers, Yuen Baio and Sammo Hung. This movie is a showcase for Baio’s particular elegance Wheels on Meals (1984) – The trio worked together on several movies and this is one of my favorites because the back half is kinda Lupin III-ish Eight Diagram Pole Fighter (1984) – Gives you a great appreciation for how many stunts can be done with long sticks Once Upon a Time in China (1991) – A big historical epic, but with Jet Li in cool fightsWuxia – Martial arts movies with fantasy elements, often set in historic China Come Drink with Me (1966) – Director King Hu’s breakout hit has everything you could want from a movie, basically Intimate Confessions of a Chinese Courtesan (1972) – What if a wuxia was also a ‘90s erotic thriller? Strange and nasty, but very good Green Snake (1993) – A classic Chinese fable but retold by the hugely influential Tsui Hark, who loves Looney Tunes humor and slightly subversive political themes Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon (2000) – Arguably the most famous martial arts movie ever is a big po-faced prestige production, but it’s also a love letter to the genre and surprisingly good Goodbye Dragon Inn (2003) – An art house movie only vaguely about watching martial arts movies, but it’s great!Crime – there are many good crime movies from Hong Kong, here are some of them My Heart Is That Eternal Rose (1989) – A very pretty detour by Patrick Tam, whose entire career was basically about making strange riffs on well-known genres Fallen Angels (1995) – A subplot of Wong Kar-Wai’s breakout international hit Chungking Express got turned into this darker, but just as kinetic little off-shoot Infernal Affairs (2002) – The meat and potatoes of a Hong Kong crime movie - good action with a Buddhist theme that I’m not well read enough to actually unpackJohnnie To and Milkyway – The prolific director has (by my count) the most straight bangers of any filmmaker since the turn of the century The Mission (1999) – To’s stock in trade – a simple crime movie, but with a better understanding of blocking and geometry than most action scenes in a couple of decades Fat Choi Spirit (2002) – A mahjong sports movie with super dramatic crane shots Exiled (2006) – All the assassins sent to kill each other end up having dinner, which is the essential vibe of all good bro movies Accident (2009) – An assassin who makes his hits look like accidents begins to suspect he’s the next target Romancing in Thin Air (2012) – One of To’s (several) great romance moviesMiscellaneous The Love Eterne (1963) – Alongside its martial arts flicks, Shaw Brothers was also very famous for its Huangmei Opera musicals. This is one of the best known 20 30 40 (2004) – What a Hong Kong ‘indie’ movie looks like, directed by Sylvia Chang A Simple Life (2011) – A family drama about the position of a live-in maid by director Ann Hui Chinese Odyssey 2002 (2002) – Hong Kong comedy is kinda hard to translate because it’s so pun-based, but this Prince and the Pauper-like story about cross-dressing romance comes across pretty wellSend us any email questions and comments about the movies we cover or movies in general to podcast@abnormalmapping.com!
