POPULARITY
Some people keep promises. Some people watch good movies. I did neither this week and let my intrusive thoughts convince me to watch Desert Monster (China, 2022) on Hi-Yah, a self-important monster flick that tries to deny it's B-movie bonnafides. Thankfully, Grady watched a good movie, Oddity (Ireland, 2024) on Shudder, a chilling blend of creepy house and Jewish folklore. We mourn the impromptu passing of Melissa, who was abducted and devoured by flying meatballs. Also, was Little Nicky a good movie or a great movie?
Did "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" need kung fu? Does an off-the-wall zombie plot twist need the B-movie treatment, or can it work in a serious movie? What do the top men at Tubi think of your genetics? This week, we get wild with Water Monster (China, 2019) on Hi-Yah and get amnesia with Die Alone (Canada & USA, 2024) on Tubi. We also play around with My Test Tubi and highlight fantasy horror, spooky nuns and mid-life crises dropping on VOD.

What do you mean, what kind of a place is it? Why, it's a Top Secret Lab, on the human side of the wall, in the world of zombies, can't you tell? MUSIC SOUND computer and lab noises LANDON [on TV] I'm Landon Frost, and tonight on "the Z word," we'll take a behind the scenes look at how zombies are used in the manufacture of your dog's kibble. FRED How can they feed zombies to dogs? JUNE Ambulates make the food - prepare it. It's illegal to terminate them without "just cause." FRED As opposed to "just cuz"? [laughs] JUNE Hah. That's what "the Z word" is about - exposing the ways zombies are exploited. LANDON [TV] You'll be watching this series throughout the holidays, and I'll be tucked up at home with my family. JUNE He's always busy. Hardly ever gets to see them. FRED Oh, boo-hoo. This Frost guy gets to fly all over the world, cussing on TV, and making zillions of dollars, and he wants sympathy? JUNE Don't forget taking his shirt off... [chuckle] But he's also a romantic - always talking about how he misses his wife Pamela. FRED So? He could retire. JUNE Helping improve "life" for ambulates is like a crusade for him. SOUND DOOR OPENS, CUTTING HER OFF FRED [muttered exclamation] Oh shit! SOUND CHAIR SQUEAK, SCRAMBLE LANDON [TV] I'll be meeting my wife in secret at‑‑ SOUND SWITCH, TV OFF DILL [coming in talking] We should be able to improve the bottom line. CHAMBERS AND not expose Tammuz to any more... liability. We are just starting to get back to where we were before Mrs. Skray's... DILL Unfortunate accident? CHAMBERS [grim] Breakdown. DILL Ah. CHAMBERS I need your personal guarantee this won't come back to bite us in the butt. DILL If it does, my butt will have your back. CHAMBERS What? DILL uh... nothing. Dr. Plasmus is expecting us. CHAMBERS Plasmus? What kind of a name is that? DILL Dunno. I only know results, and the good doctor facilitated the "crickets". Look what they've done to help us get back in good odor over the last 18 months. CHAMBERS [favorably impressed] MMmm. DILL And now - [announcing] Project Top Hat! SOUND DOOR OPENS SOUND MUSIC SCENE CHANGE TV DUDE [ON TV] Do you ever have behavior problems with your ambulates? ZOMBIE Grr. OLD LADY [pleased] Cricket! TV DUDE Do they sometimes seem to have a mind of their own? ZOMBIE2 [weird noise] MAN [smug] Cricket. TV DUDE Would you ever have them in the house without it? WOMAN Around my kids? Forget it! KIDS Just CRICKET! TV DUDE Yes, Cricket, the "behavioral reminder" Implant that reminds zombies to toe the line. TV DUDE [quiet, rushed] Results may vary. Some side effects may occur. No guarantee of bodily safety is implied or express in the sale of this product. Not available in all areas. [up] Get Cricket today! Brought to you by your friends at Tammuz Corporation. SOUND MUSIC SOUND WALKING, DOOR SWOOSHES OPEN SOUND ZAPS and SQUISHY NOISES PLASMUS You're early. DILL Uh, no. It's - um - six? PLASMUS It is? Hmm. Well, just let me finish this, and-- SOUND BIG ZAP CHAMBERS What are you working on? PLASMUS Shh! DILL [hushed] Sorry, the doc doesn't multitask. CHAMBERS What? SOUND ONE FINAL ZAP PLASMUS Done. He means I do not work and talk. When you have worked directly in as many brains as I have, you begin to value each function for its own worth, and not merely as a gestalt whole. CHAMBERS Uh, right. So are you ready to gestalted [get started] now? DILL Gestalt isn't-- CHAMBERS I KNOW. PLASMUS It was a bit of a joke? [small dry chuckle] Am I right? CHAMBERS Yeah. PLASMUS I thought as much. I fear that the humor seat of my own brain has probably been left a wee bit underdeveloped. Oh well. Could be MUCH worse. I could have an atrophied hippocampus! [laughs riotously] DILL Uh, yeah. [toady laugh] CHAMBERS That would be unfortunate, indeed. PLASMUS [stops laughing suddenly] But you are not here for pleasantries. You are here to see what I have wrought! CHAMBERS Aha! So that's the smell in here. PLASMUS What? CHAMBERS Rot? PLASMUS [laughs] MUSIC SCENE CHANGE to TV LANDON What the fuck do you think you're doing? You can't have rats in any ambulate work area, you moronic lavat'ry brush! They may not decay, but can still be damaged - do you want to be the one providing your workforce with replacement parts every time rats gnaw a bit off? Or perhaps rats are the only protein going in to your fucking kibble? SOUND MUSIC DILL So now the doctor will demonstrate--? [hint] PLASMUS Have you forgotten the name again? DILL [uncomfortable] No. no, I just was giving you a chance to - you know - take the glory. PLASMUS You should have warned me. [sigh] It is project top hat for a very simple reason-- SOUND METAL CLANK CHAMBERS It looks like a top hat. Original. DILL And what does it do...? [hinting] PLASMUS Stop doing that. DILL Sorry. PLASMUS [launching into lecture mode] The ambulate workforce is sturdy, capable - albeit slow - and cheap, since all they require is chum, unlike human workers who not only need food, shelter, sleep, etc., but also WANT things. DILL [muttered] Zombies want things too. That's part of the problem. PLASMUS Shush. It is this volition which is the only real drawback to the use of ambulates for many sorts of work - and which gives rise to the various debates over ambulate sentience, and to use an inexact phrase - over their "personhood". CHAMBERS None of this is news. PLASMUS I am setting it up. So if there was a way to mix the useful qualities of the ambulate with the mindless diligence of, say, a computer, wouldn't that improve their value? CHAMBERS [interested] Yessss.... DILL Of course. PLASMUS So this mechanism will do that - replacing the corpse's brain with a limited function computer, only able to obey commands. CHAMBERS You specify "Corpse"? PLASMUS [pleased] Ah, you caught that. [chuckles] Much like the pre-edict abortion debates, this idealization of ambulates leads to the nasty question of when, precisely, one goes from human, to dead human, to ambulate. DILL You've seen the courtroom reality shows. MUSIC COURT REPORT We'll catch the plaintiff as she leaves. Missus Feinman, Missus Feinman? How do you feel about the jury's ruling? MISSUS Act of god, my eye! My husband had a very clear "do not reanimate" clause in his will - but that doctor failed to catch him at the exact moment to remove the head and prevent reanimation, and now he's stuck. MISTER [zombie moan] MISSUS I can't even have him decently put down, what with the iffy legal status of zombies. [sniffles] COURT REPORT [bland] You have our sympathy, I'm sure. In just a moment, we'll speak to the doctor and his attorney. MUSIC PLASMUS So we must catch them in that window - that tiny "between states" period when we can still legally treat them as objects. CHAMBERS And--? PLASMUS Remove the head. Once the head is gone, the body may yet convert, but does not move, as it has little sensory input to motivate it. CHAMBERS You remove the head? [Slowly gets it] And then you do - oh - ohhhh. The Top Hat. PLASMUS I see you are a quick thinker, Mr. Senior executive. Yes. The unit replaces the so-called "mind", by which we truly mean the physical brain, giving the animated carcass sensory input, all the while leaving complete control with the human controller. CHAMBERS Can the body re-animate, without the head? PLASMUS Do you know how the ambi-twist works? CHAMBERS The what? DILL [muttered] The T virus. PLASMUS No, no! That is a trademarked name and cannot be used without possible reprisal! DILL Sorry! That's what most people [call it]. PLASMUS I don't want to hear it! Besides, the ambi-twist does not make ravenous beasts. Animates are gentle. Like kittens. MUSIC COMMERCIAL AMB GROCERY SHOPPING SUSY Gee, mommy, Rolf pushes the cart real well, don't he? MOMMY That reminds me! We need to pick up some chum! ROLF [eager zombie noise] SUSY He knows THAT word! ANNOUNCER Of course he does, but can he tell the difference between Champion Chum and the bargain brand? MOMMY Is there a difference? ANNOUNCER Just ask Rolf! ROLF [sticky zombie eating noises] SUSY [laughing] Oh Rolf! ANNOUNCER Every zombie, every day, chooses Champion brand chum! MUSIC CHAMBERS They're tame enough with the cricket. If they were naturally docile, we wouldn't need it. PLASMUS And with the top hat, there will be no need for the cricket. Let me show you. SOUND CAGE OPENS CHAMBERS [horrified reaction] Oh! DILL ugh [bland] PLASMUS This stray dog was humanely euthanized, and the top hat was immediately attached-- SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK PLASMUS We had to use a fairly large dog, so the top hat unit wouldn't overbalance it. It was designed for a human frame-- SOUND COMMOTION OUTSIDE PLASMUS What is this? SOUND DOOR SLAMS OPEN JACKIE All of you! Over by the wall! [to june and fred] Get in there! FRED Right, of course. JUNE Excuse me. Just - um - going through. CHAMBERS Who the devil are you? JACKIE I'm the one with the gun! And I said over by the wall! DILL She means it. Move it! Move it move it move it.... PLASMUS But the dog-- SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK SOUND GUN SHOT INTO CEILING JACKIE And don't get any funny ideas. I'm not alone. CHAMBERS [reasonable and placating] Tell us what you want. JACKIE [almost a yell] I want you all over by that wall! SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK DILL Already here! JUNE Me too! PLASMUS Allow me to-- [take the dog] JACKIE Leave that poor thing! SOUND COMPUTERIZED BARK JACKIE That is exactly the kind of horrid monster we're here to put an end to. PLASMUS Ah. Activists. [chuckling] CHAMBERS Don't mock the woman with the gun! PLASMUS Oh. Of course. JACKIE And what's behind here? PLASMUS No! Don't! It's not ready yet! CHAMBERS What IS it? SOUND CURTAIN OPENS JACKIE Mother of god! MUSIC SCENE CHANGE, AND then WUSSY POPSTAR I know all of you have heard and most of you have enjoyed my hit single "walking away with my heart" about the plight of the ambulate. ZOMBIE [pathetic moan] POPSTAR Too many of these poor once-human creatures are abused, neglected, and sometimes even abandoned to fend for themselves - forced to sell their bodies, bit by horrible bit, for the chum they need to survive. Can't you spare just a little - the price of a cup of coffee - to help? MUSIC CHAMBERS Just tell us your demands, and let's get on with this. JACKIE [horrified] What have you done to this man? PLASMUS It is not a man. It is a corpse. JACKIE It's moving. PLASMUS There's no one there. As you can see, the computer has taken the place of its entire head, thus removing all chance of-- CHAMBERS [hissed, annoyed] You didn't say you'd already done this to a human - [correcting himself] a human corpse, that is. PLASMUS I simply hadn't got to that part of the presentation, yet. JACKIE [distracted and horrified] But why? FRED Hi-YAH! SOUND THUMP, SCUFFLE DILL Wow. SOUND GUN GOES OFF DILL Stay back! JUNE [indecisive but encouraging] Get her, Fred! SOUND SCUFFLE ENDS FRED Got her. PLASMUS Can I have her as a specimen? JACKIE You can't do that to me! PLASMUS Of course we could. We simply record that you died in an attack on our security, and your corpse will be ...recycled. JACKIE NO! CHAMBERS That's a bit much, isn't it? PLASMUS [quiet] Drat. [up] Heh-heh. Of course. Just a bit of - intimidation. Hah. Hah. DILL Right. PLASMUS What this young lady doesn't seem to understand is that there are many people who don't wish to return as a shambling, slow, and stupid ambulate. Many would rather know that their mind - their "soul" - had been allowed to pass on. JACKIE How the hell do you think you're doing that? PLASMUS Cutting off the head. The body is still useful - as you can see. It can be of service to the living. JACKIE The soul isn't in the brain. The soul is - the soul. It will stay around no matter what. PLASMUS [derisive laugh] MUSIC SOUND PARTY! BRANDON And we're here on the dead side with the new years crowd! They start a week early, since they know it'll take 'em that long to arrive! Whoo! ARIA And the hottest thing this year is head swaps! BRANDON [prompting, not really questioning] Head swaps, Aria? ARIA That's right, Brandon! You know how zombies can cut off and attach body parts? They recently discovered that they can swap heads! They say it's totally the ultimate! BRANDON Unless they sew it on backwards! Man, that would be a pain in the ass! ARIA Yeah, but at least you could see your ass! BOTH [LAUGH] MUSIC CHAMBERS Where's security when you need them? JUNE I just called them, sir. Apparently, they've had a number of ...insurrections. DILL Must be how she slipped by. JACKIE You won't get anything from me! PLASMUS I suppose you two will have to take her to the security office for detention. FRED Gotcha. JUNE Oh, me? Oh all right. SOUND SHE CROSSES JUNE What was it she was looking at, anyway? [horrified gasp!] PLASMUS What's wrong? JUNE [too quick, very nervous] Nothing! I just thought it - he - it - moved. PLASMUS Nonsense. I haven't even woken the unit yet. Get along. JUNE [still nervous] Yes, yes of course! Come on! FRED What's wrong? JUNE [growl] Post traumatic stress! Get moving! SOUND THEY LEAVE PLASMUS Some people simply cannot handle pressure. Come have a look at my human automaton. CHAMBERS [slightly suspicious] He looks ... fresh. DILL Nice physique! CHAMBERS You didn't - uh - kill him, did you, doc? PLASMUS [laughs flatly] No. He was killed in a car wreck, this afternoon. His legs sustained some damage, but mostly superficial, and his head was completely severed. CHAMBERS How did you get him so quickly? The notice to the family won't even go through-- PLASMUS [pissed] I could not wait for petty family concerns when this perfect specimen fell into my very lap! And he is perfect! DILL Ew. PLASMUS So I snatched him out of the hospital upstairs. Besides. He is an organ donor. MUSIC INSURANCE Do you wonder about your insurance coverage? Concerned that you may some day cease to be human, and therefore void your policy? We here at Practical Undead National Trust can fix that for you. For only a few dollars a day, you, too, can have coverage that extends beyond the expiration of the body. MUSIC SOUND HALLWAY, DOOR SHUTS, FOOTSTEPS FRED Whew. Should we go back, do you think? JUNE [still bothered] I - I don't know. FRED OK, what's going on? JUNE Oh, Fred! This is horrible! FRED It was just a gun. I don't think she would have shot either of us anyway. JUNE Not that. FRED Then what? JUNE That body back in the lab? That perfectly sculpted torso? Did you see that tattoo on the shoulder? FRED Not my type. Sorry. JUNE [very important and horrible] THAT was‑‑ [cut off with a gasp] SOUND DOOR OPENS MUSIC LANDON [outside, loud over background noise] You would think this was a prime place for ambulates - garbage reclamation. SOUND CRUNCHING EQUIPMENT LANDON They don't mind bad smells, can't catch diseases -- and yet, most of the workers hired on at this particular municipal tip don't stay. Let's find out why. MUSIC CHAMBERS [gritted teeth] What do we do if there's a lawsuit? PLASMUS [shrug] If they push it, there is an incinerator in the basement, and as long as we first remove the computer unit, the organic evidence could be reduced to ashes in a matter of hours. CHAMBERS [annoyed, but not knowing] Do you even know who this person - corpse - is? PLASMUS [shrug] I read the driver's license. Why? DILL [confident] We'll fabricate records. Show it was cremated by mistake. Apologize. Give the widow some ashes and a check. CHAMBERS Sounds like you've done this before. DILL [smug] Things... happen. MUSIC BOB Come on down to Big Bob's bob-o-rama for the finest in pre-owed ambulates! We have 'em all from this big brute for heavy lifting-- ZOMBIE [deep moan] BOB To this hot little number, [hinting] nice for in-house work. GIRL ZOMBIE [sexy moan?] BOB Come on down this weekend, and my own gramma, an ambulate herself, will be here with her special milk and cookies! Trade-ins are always given full greybook value. MUSIC NURSE I'm so sorry. There's been a little mixup. He's... um... missing. PAMELA [low snarl] As god is my witness, if my husband's body turns up somewhere - anywhere - on a celebrity zombie show, I will personally sue you, the hospital, Tammuz, and anyone else our lawyers can think of! NURSE But I-- DOCTOR What seems to be the problem? PAMELA Are you the person I should be screaming at? DOCTOR Well, I don't know about that-- PAMELA Then you best point me at the right one, since some screaming is well overdue. DOCTOR Just tell me - calmly - what this is about. NURSE It's her husband. PAMELA My husband's BODY, you mean! [starting to move from anger into tears] I was informed of his accident, that he was declared [suppressed sob] dead at the scene, and when I come to claim him... [deep breath, furious snarl] He's missing. NURSE I'm sure it's just a paperwork snafu. PAMELA AND I know how some of you bastards are about selling celebrity corpses! Don't think you can pull that crap on me! DOCTOR Celebrity? What was -uh, is - your husband's name? MUSIC SOUND ZOMBIE MOAN LANDON This fucking pisses me off no end - look at that poor bastard. SOUND ZOMBIE MOAN LANDON Look at this hand. Three fingers gone, from a bloody hazardous environment. [up] They may not be human any more, but you sons-of-bitches still have to look after these beggars! MUSIC JUNE Landon Frost! FRED What? JUNE I swear it was! It's the snowflake on his shoulder. He got it for his wife! FRED Oh. That can't be good. Should we ... tell them? JUNE Well...he IS dead. Nothing'll change that. SOUND DOOR OPENS, MANY FEET COME STORMING IN PAMELA I already have Landon's private security at all your exits, and will personally go through each and every room until I find him - so you might as well hand him over. DOCTOR But, but.. PAMELA First, you are taking Big bill, here, and I down to your bloody incinerator -and don't try to tell me you don't have one. DOCTOR Why? PAMELA So no one has access to destroy the [falters] the ...evidence. SOUND DOOR OPENS, THEY PASS OUT AGAIN FRED Is that--? JUNE [fatalistic] Oh boy! MUSIC LECTURER We must stop treating ambulates as objects and start treating them as people - people very nearly like you and me. With a bit of practice, anyone can speak clearly and slowly enough for a zombie to pick up on it. SOUND ZOMBIE MOAN LECTURER If we could only follow the moans and groans of a group of zombies, I'm sure complete and fascinating conversations are going on, right under our disinterested human noses. MUSIC DILL [on phone] So soon? Well, I guess we move on to plan B. [pause] She is? [upset] oh. SOUND PHONE DOWN CHAMBERS What is it? DILL I - they-- PLASMUS Quiet, please! Time to turn it on!

LANDON [computer noise, not quite speech] DILL Ohhhh boy. CHAMBERS Does that thing make it able to talk? LANDON [machine, more gobbledygook] PLASMUS Ambulates have always been able to talk. They simply operate on a much slower scale than we do. It is something about the brain synapses, the ambi-twist simply cannot get them back to normal speed. DILL [prompt] They're how much slower than humans? PLASMUS I said not to do that. DILL I was just asking,. Really. PLASMUS They operate somewhere between 20 and 50% slower than humans. That is why they have to be spoken to slowly. LANDON [machine] Fuck you! PLASMUS [chuckles] Or not. DILL [gasp] Is it supposed to do that? CHAMBERS I thought you said that removing the head should negate the personality. PLASMUS I'm sure it is just something programmed in. My computer expert has quite a sense of humor. LANDON [machine] What the hell is going on? PLASMUS [worried now] Or... not. DILL This was supposed to make it docile! CHAMBERS At least the thing is tied down. SOUND RIP OF RESTRAINTS PLASMUS [frightened] Or... not! MUSIC TEACHER Turn to page 40. The chapter on the ambi-twist. Amy, will you start? [grade school students, who read more or less well] AMY The ambi-twist was a genetic modification first pioneered by Tammuz Corporation. BOBBY With the best of intentions, this benevolent corporation was trying to help people. CORA To overcome the issues with tissue rejection and make transplants one hundred percent successful. DESMOND But the ambi-twist went a bit awry. [after a pause] ELLIE [whispered] You have to read more. DESMOND nuh-uh. Not my fault it's a short sentence. ELLIE Fine! [ahem] The ambi-twist altered the genetic makeup of the intended cells, yes, but it did not stop there, instead running amok through the entire body and giving the cells a life of their own. FRANK Most of the population now carries the ambi-twist virus, which has little to no effect on them ... during their lifetime. DESMOND [spooky noise] ooo-OO-oo EVERYONE [joking zombie groans] MUSIC NOTE LANDON IS COMPUTERIZED FROM HERE ON OUT LANDON Why so gob-smacked? Where the fuck am I? SOUND THUMP GETTING OUT OF BED, FOOTSTEPS PLASMUS This is very bad. DILL It's coming over. Let me guess, it can see and hear through the computer unit too? PLASMUS [wry] Of course. What use is a unit that bumps into walls and can't follow orders? LANDON Is anyone planning to answer me? CHAMBERS Look, you. You've died and are now property. Just lay back and shut up. DILL Oh boy. LANDON No, you look here, you lump of festering dog turd! If I were dead, and I don't believe it for a minute - I have very specific contingencies in my will. PLASMUS [chuckles] Speaking of contingencies-- SOUND SHOTGUN RACKING PLASMUS I would call this experiment a conditional success. SOUND SHOTGUN BLAST MUSIC HUSHED MC And the ambulate "Gracie's darling" is now approaching the steps. This is a level three hazard, since it typically takes an ambulate several tries. Oh! She's on the first step! Very nicely corrected a stumble and managed to stick the second step. Ah, but she's faltering -- Momentum can only carry one SO far, and this is where balance truly comes into play. [gareth bowley] MUSIC SOUND DOOR SLAMS SHUT CHAMBERS Holy cow! PLASMUS [gleeful] Did you see how fast it was? DILL You mean when it walked off with your shotgun? I thought we were done for! CHAMBERS Looked like it nearly took your hand off, too. PLASMUS [dismissive] It's broken, It's fine. [up] We must follow it! CHAMBERS Get security on all the doors! DILL On it. PLASMUS Try not to hurt it! CHAMBERS Belay that order. Take that thing down at all costs. And definitely before it leaves the building! MUSIC SURVIVALIST1 I don't care how many times they take this feed down and report me - I ain't gonna stand by and let them goddamn walking dead take over. Since every one of us as dies turns into one of them, ain't no way we can keep ahead unless we thin the herd a bit. SURVIVALIST2 Hell yeah. Now on the chart behind me, you see a human-- SURVIVALIST1 or zombie-- SURVIVALIST2 right, "or zombie," body with various areas marked in red. Those are your standard targets, right there. The head is, of course, the primary, since the bastards won't stop walking without that being gone.

JUNE He wanted - Landon wanted for him to stand in a human court for trial. FRED He said something about rotting in hell, but his accent was getting really thick. JUNE He was crying! FRED He's a computer. I mean, the voice, at least, is computerized. Why would it get choked up? INTERVIEWER [to camera] Even now, Chambers is standing trial for the murder of Mrs. Pamela Frost.

New episode alert! We're back! FINALLY! We apologize about the long hiatus, but both Gavin and I had a ton of cool stuff going on the past few weeks (including hanging out together and training with our sensei Peter "Sugarfoot" Cunningham) which had us a little preoccupied. However, we have a special new episode where we catch you up on everything that's been going on, including a New Beverly double Kung Fu screening, Gavin meeting one of his childhood heroes and most importantly, the movie we are discussing, the masterpiece that is ‘Raging Fire'. The final film of iconic Hong Kong director Benny Chan, this epic action picture starring Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse is one of the best Hong Kong action pictures in recent memory, chock-full of stellar shoot outs and phenomenal martial arts sequences. Hard hitting, brutal and furiously paced, this cops and robbers heist thriller is certain to keep you on the edge of your seat. I was so blown away, that I went to see it TWICE in theaters.

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.

HI-YAH!!!!! Get your black belt on and your roundhouse kicks ready as The Last Action Heroes delve into the seedy under belly of Hong Kong to infiltrate the dangerous mixed martial arts tournament of Kumite in BLOODSPORT! Follow Ray JESPson, Senso DANaka, Chong LEON and BJORN Claude Van Damme as they fight to survive their way through the 1988 martial arts classic that made 'The Muscles From Brussels' Jean Claude Van Damme a bonefide action star. Taking on the (allegedly) true story of Franx Dux for his first major film, Van Damme goes AWOL from his armed forces unit and travels to Hong Kong to fight in honour of his Sensei and father figure in the secretive and deadly fighting tournament known as the Kumite. His experiences there will test his skills to the limit as he fights his way through a throng (I said throng!) of world class fighters, forges the bonds of brotherhood and makes a very dangerous enemy in the form of last seasons Kumite winner, a walking tank who has been known to kill his opponents for fun.In this bloody and bruised episode we delve into everything that makes this movie an 80's action staple from the bone-crunchingly awesome fight choreography and sweat soaked cinematography of the arena to the amazingly bad acting and highly questionable authenticity of the films true events. We also discover just what it takes to be able to make a cup of tea blindfolded! Will this be OK USA! or as cheesy as on old pair of gym shorts?
