The man...the legend...the icon...Cyrus, is back! He dives back into the Fu for Thought foray to discuss Lau Kar Leung's comedic classic, DIRTY HO. I've avoided showing this one to Devan for years because I thought the "shenanigans" would annoy her. Well, she's finally seen it. Did she love it? Hate it? On this episode, we dicuss the concept of "covert fights," we wonder "What are the 7 Agonies all about?" and Devan expresses her dislike for the "killer cowbell." Later, we answer listener questions. Including whether we'd fight our parents in their prime and if Gordon Liu is an underrated actor. Enjoy!

Die letzte Folge des aktuellen Shawscope-Marathons! Heiko, Marco und Sebastian nehmen sich extra viel Zeit um über das Shaw-Revival aus dem Jahr 1993 zu sprechen. Regisseur Johnnie To liefert ein melodramatisches Remake zu Chang Chehs "Disciples of Shaolin" (1975) ab. Lau Kar-Leung inszeniert die schwindelerregenden Kampfsequenzen! Der bettelarme, barfüßige Fung-Yiu (Aaron Kwok) ist auf der Suche nach Duan (Ti Lung) einem Verbündeten seines verstorbenen Vaters, der ihm eine letzte Botschaft übergeben soll. Duan ist als Angestellter einer Weberei untergetaucht, die von der Färberin Siu-Kwan (Maggie Cheung) betrieben wird. Leider hat ein bösartiger Unternehmer (Kenneth Tsang) aus den Reihen der Mandschu die Augen auf die Weberei geworfen und so sehen sich Fung-Yiu und Duan verstrickt in tödliche Intrigen, die nicht nur die Arbeiter bedroht, sondern die ganze Stadt in Korruption und Gewalt versinken lässt.

Der Shawscope-Marathon geht weiter! Heiko, Marco und Sebastian sprechen heute über einen der letzten Filme der Shaw Studios, der gleich zwei besondere Meilensteine dokumentiert: Lau Kar-Leung durfte an Originalschauplätzen der Volksrepublik drehen, unter anderem im Shaolin Kloster, in der Verbotenen Stadt und an der Großen Mauer. Regisseur Lau nimmt für die Shaw Studios den Faden der in der Volksrepublik produzierten ersten zwei "Shaolin Tempel"-Filme auf, die Jet Li als Schauspieler (allerdigs in jeweils unterschiedlichen Rollen) etablierten. Lin Zhi-Ming (Jet Li) wächst als Waisenkind im nördlichen Shaolin-Kloster auf, doch nach vielen Jahren bietet sich ihm endlich eine Chance, um Rache zu üben für den Tod seiner Familie: Der böse General He Suo feiert Geburtstag. Doch nicht nur Zhi-Ming trachtet nach dem Leben des Demagogen und bald sieht er sich unverhofft im Bunde mit der Kämpferin Si-Ma und Chao Wei, einem Mönch der südlichen Shaolin.

We're back after a brief hiatus with another geographically centered mini-series, this time focused on the movies of Hong Kong! And to kick it off, Nick is finally making good on his longstanding threat to talk Shaw Bros: it's Lau Kar-Leung's THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN (1978)!36th Chamber is an enormous tentpole in kung fu film, and one of the first post-Bruce Lee HK movies to break through to international audiences. We're probing into what made it so influential, how it established training tropes, and we opine on why it's a perfect introduction to the genre.We're also talking about Lau Kar-Leung's approach to martial arts as a self-improvement tool, Gordon Liu and Shaw Bros' outsized impact outside of the kung fu world, and the Kill Bill siren. And yes, we mention Bruce Lee.But who are the Shaw Bros exactly? Nick's here with a quick rundown of their history and how there's literally a place called Movietown. We also determine what chambers would absolutely wreck us personally.Next time: we're agreeing with Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock in Corey Yuen's YES MADAM (1985)!

Dirty Ho is a 1979 Hong Kong martial arts comedy film directed by Lau Kar-leung and starring Gordon Liu and Wong Yue. Prince Master Wang loves himself some wine and jewels. But when Wang takes a trip to the floating brothel he crosses paths with the a troublesome jewel thief, Dirty Ho, and things start getting a little kung-fu crazy. Come get a little dirty with us and listen to this episode of The Clueless Critic and get to know some Dirty Ho.

Bonus review of the two Kara Hui vehicles, Lau directed. Lighter and easier to watch, it is too bad Lau did not get to direct more of these.

Der Shawscope-Marathon geht weiter! Marco, Heiko und Sebastian sprechen heute über den dritten und letzten Teil der "36th Chamber"-Trilogie von Lau Kar-Leung. Sieben Jahre nach dem ersten Film wird diesmal die Geschichte des legendären Volkshelden Fong Sai-Yuk erzählt, der als Kung-Fu-Wunderkind zwar jeder Herausforderung gewachsen, allerdings nicht die hellste Kerze am Baum ist. Als er es sich an seiner Schule nicht nur mit seinen Lehrern sondern auch mit den garstigen mandschurischen Inspektoren verscherzt, muss Sai-Yuk gemeinsam mit seinen zwei Brüdern im Shaolin Tempel untertauchen. In der 36. Kammer nimmt sich Abt San De (wieder Gordon Liu) des unverbesserlichen Jungen an. Ob er ihn auf den rechten Weg bringen kann? Auch die Mandschu-Beamten haben Sai-Yuk auf dem Kieker - und mit ihm die Schüler der 36. Kammer der Shaolin. mehr von:  Marco Felici | Letterboxd | Facebook | Instagram Heiko Baro | Sebastian Kempke | Letterboxd| https://linktr.ee/buddelfisch Emails könnt ihr uns an filmkammer@buddelfisch.de senden Hört die Filmkammer auf Apple Podcasts, auf Spotify und anchor.fm Music: "Kung Fu Warriors" von Tim Donovan , lizensiert via Envato Mix von Sebastian Kempke --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/filmkammer/message

We are Cyrus-less this week but Devan and I have a good ol' fashioned chinwag about Lau Kar Leung's Tiger and Crane classic, Executioners from Shaolin. I question the mechanics of the pressure point training dummy, Devan confesses that she didn't know the villain was Pai Mei and we both ask, "Is the final fight scene really any good?" Later, we have fun with listener questions and discuss Thanksgiving food, tattoos and much more. Enjoy!

Bonus episode review covering Lau's Mad Monkey Kung Fu. This one moves away from Gordon Liu and features the super athletic Hsiao Ho.

Der Shawscope-Marathon geht weiter! Marco, Heiko und Sebastian sprechen heute über den zweiten Teil der "36th Chamber"-Trilogie von Lau Kar-Leung. Zwei Jahre nach dem ersten Film ist Hauptdarsteller Gordon Liu zurück und darf nach dem Melodrama des Vorgängers diesmal seine Comedy-Skills unter Beweis stellen. Als leichtfüßige Hommage an den ersten Teil gedacht erzählt "Return to the 36th Chamber" vom Herumtreiber Renjie (Liu), der sich als Mönch San De des Shaolin Klosters ausgibt, zunächst um Almosen zu erbetteln, dann aber um dem regierungstreuen Chef einer Färberei eines auszuwischen, der seine Angestellten ausbeutet. Als der Plan nach hinten losgeht, schleicht sich Renjie als Adapt ins Shaolin Kloster, um Kung Fu zu lernen, wird aber vom echten Mönch San De (diesmal nicht Gordon Liu) zum Dienst als Gerüstbauer verdonnert. Ob er dabei zufällig wichtige Lektionen in Sachen Kung-Fu und Selbstbeherrschung erlernt? mehr von:  Marco Felici | Letterboxd | Facebook | Instagram Heiko Baro | Sebastian Kempke | Letterboxd| https://linktr.ee/buddelfisch Emails könnt ihr uns an filmkammer@buddelfisch.de senden Hört die Filmkammer auf Apple Podcasts und Spotify  Music: "Kung Fu Warriors" von Tim Donovan , lizensiert via Envato Mix von Sebastian Kempke "Filmkammer Theme" (Abspann) Mix von Sebastian Kempke --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/filmkammer/message

We finally wrap our Lau Kar Leung project, with a summary of where he sits in the historical canon and how he helped to change the martial arts genre forever. I then put his work into rough tiers, include a few non Lau recommended directed efforts to watch.

Easily the heaviest film we've covered in the Lau Kar Leung project and very much an atypical Lau Kar Leung film and can be seen as an elegy towards the Shaw Brothers studio, which would shut down the following year. This film is based off of Chinese folklore in the Song dynasty and features great performances and perhaps my favorite fight in the entire Lau Kar Leung filmography.

One of Lau Kar Leung's favorite films and easily one of hist underrated, Martial Club is a great martial arts film that and has one of the greatest fights of all time between Wang Lung Wai and Gordon Liu.

This episode we review one of the most impressively choreographed films of all time, Dirty He. Dirty He has a much different performance from Gordon Liu and shows the director's range and ability to create incredibly elegant, wonderful fights with very simple devices and tricks.

With around 170 Martial Arts choreography credits, Lau Kar Leung is arguably the most influential and greatest martial arts choreographer of all time. Due to his martial arts background, the amount of details and intricacies he brought a unique and varied choreography to nearly every film he directed. In this episode I discuss his choreography in his directorial body of work and some of my favorite fights. https://letterboxd.com/director/lau-kar-leung-2/ Send us an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠zafilm2film⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or tweet us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/zafilm2film⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ !

After the hit that was Executioners from Shaolin, Lau Kar Leung followed it up with an even greater success, and perhaps his most iconic film, The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. Featuring likely the greatest training and second act in martial arts film history, this is a must watch for everyone.

Der Shawscope-Marathon geht weiter! Marco, Heiko und Sebastian sprechen heute über den legendären Film "The 36th Chamber of Shaolin" (1978) von Lau Kar-Leung. In den frühen Jahren der Qing-Dynastie herrschen die Beamten der Mandschu-Regierung mit harter Hand über die Bevölkerung. In einem kleinen Küstenort lässt sich ein junger Mann (Gordon Liu) auf einen folgenschweren Pakt mit Rebellen ein. Als die Verschwörung auffliegt, werden sein Lehrmeister, seine Mitschüler und seine Familie ermordet. Mit letzter Kraft sucht er Zuflucht im Shaolin-Tempel. Seine Hoffnung: Shaolin Kung-Fu zu meistern und dann in die Heimat zurückzukehren, um den unterdrückten Menschen die geheimen Künste zu lehren. Doch die Äbte des Klosters verweigern jegliche Einmischung in weltliche Belange.

In this episode we cover the key themes Lau Kar Leung would return to throughout his career. Due to his background as a martial artist, he was much more interested in the passing of Martial Arts knowledge down and different cultural aspects than his contemporaries inside the Shaw Brothers. While many of these aspects became genre tropes, his work still stands out for more than just the choreography. https://letterboxd.com/director/lau-kar-leung-2/ Send us an email at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠zafilm2film⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or tweet us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/zafilm2film⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ !

This episode I review the first film in our series, Executioners from Shaolin. Released in 1977, starring Chen Kuan Tai this is Lau's 3rd film and features a Chinese folk hero, Hong Xiguan that is in Lau's Martial Arts lineage. It also serves an important bridge between Lau's choreography work in Chang Cheh's Shaolin cycle and his own directorial output. Featuring an all time great villain performance from Lo Lieh.

This week we celebrate Shawtember and delve back into the directorial filmography of Lau Kar Leung with SHAOLIN MANTIS (1978). Devan elaborates on how it's definitely a film of two halves, Shaun tries to explore the film's themes and both end up disappointed by Gordon Liu's very insubstantial cameo. Later on, Devan blows Shaun's mind with a speech about "shapes versus weapons." Then it's on to the usual listener questions and all that good stuff. Enjoy!

New episode alert! This week, Gavin and I are tackling one of the greatest Kung Fu movies of all time. YES, we have said this before, but this is truly one of the masterpieces of old school Kung Fu Cinema- ‘Martial Club' (1981). Directed by Kung Fu visionary Lau Kar Leung, and starring the iconic Gordon Liu as Chinese folk hero Wong Fei Hung, this master class in martial arts filmmaking has all the elements of an all-time classic, and it doesn't disappoint! With an emphasis on 武德 or “martial arts ethics”, this picture showcases not only the physical aspects of Chinese martial arts, but also the honor and morals that go along with it. You've got North vs. South, kicks vs. fists, righteous vs. dishonest-this along with ferocious fight scenes from start to finish, and an opening lion dance sequence that has to be seen to be believed, and ‘Martial Club' delivers one heck of a ride! To add to all of that, you've got some of the most technical Kung Fu choreography ever displayed on screen, which is why it's easy to see why ‘Martial Club' might just be the pinnacle of Kung Fu cinema! Don't forget to subscribe, download, like, and share with your friends! Thanks again for the continued support and we hope you enjoy!

Marco, Heiko und Sebastian sprechen in der finalen Folge des Shawscope Marathons über "Dirty Ho" (1978) von Lau Kar-Leung. Während der Qing Dynastie reist der elfte Prinz (Gordon Liu), Sohn des mandschurischen Kaisers, in das schöne Kanton um sich an Kunst, Musik und gutem Wein zu erfreuen. Dort begegnet er dem jungen Herumtreiber Ho (Wong Yue), der sich nicht für gute Manieren sondern nur für Geld interessiert. Doch der Prinz findet Gefallen am Bettelknaben, und als Auftragsmörder aus der Hauptstadt auftauchen, entschließt sich der Prinz, Ho mit allen Mitteln in der Kampfkunst zu unterweisen, um an seiner Seite die tödliche Verschwörung aufzudecken. Nach dem Film schnacken die drei über ihre Favoriten aus den 13 gesichteten Klassikern des Shawscope-Marathons und darüber, ob Chang Cheh oder Lau Kar-Leung die Goldmedaille für progressives Filmschaffen gebührt!

Marco und Sebastian sprechen heute über "Heroes of the Easts" (1978) von Lau Kar-Leung. Shanghai in den frühen 1930ern: Ah Tao, ein junger Mann aus gutem Hause ist der Tochter eines japanischen Geschäftsmannes versprochen, mit der er schon als Kind viel zeit verbracht hat. Eine anfängliche Widerborstigkeit gegenüber der Idee, sich vorschreiben zu lassen, wen er heiraten solle, verfliegt schnell, als er die nunmehr erwachsene Schönheit wiedersieht! Die junge Ehefrau Yumiko hat ein sehr gesundes Selbstbewusstsein und trainiert täglich eine Reihe japanischer Kampfkünste - zuletzt sogar die geheime Kunst des Ninjutsu. Schnell entzweien sich die Beiden an der Frage, ob nun chinesische oder japanische Kampfkünste die überlegeneren sind. Und der Streit eskaliert, als der Wettkampf acht japanische Meister ihrer jeweiligen Disziplin auf den Plan ruft und Ah Tao jedem von ihnen die Stirn bieten muss.

We know, we know. The title. Beyond that, you get a cracking martial arts comedy with Lau Kar Leung, Gordon Liu, and Lo Lieh at the top of their games. This film launched an offshoot of lighthearted but still action packed kung fu movies. Another classic from the iconic Shaw Brothers studio. We take a deep dive into it, and Dom kicks some science right off the top of the dome. It's impressive stuff.

The Drunken Boxing Podcast #028 This month's guest is the one and only Mark Houghton. Originally from England, Mark moved to Malaysia at a young age to pursue his dream of learning Chinese martial arts. His fate found him then going to Hong Kong to study under the great Lau Kar Leung and Mark became a well known action stuntman within the Hong Kong film industry. He has worked on over 40 movies alongside some of the greatest action stars on films including the Legend of the Drunken Master and Knock Off. Mark is not only unique being a westerner working in this field, but also for being Lau Kar Leung's formal and chief disciple.

Lau Kar Leung and Gordon Liu bring you this 1978 Shaw Brothers Classic...Heroes of the East. Some couple arguments can lead to broken crockery - but this couple's arguments leads to international battle of Shaolin vs. Ninja's!

This week we head back to Shaw Brothers to watch another Lau Kar Leung classic. Does the final fight still hold up? Is it one of the top ten martial arts movies of all time? As well as chatting all things kung fu, we discuss the etymology of genitals, our potential WWE tag team and which celebrities we'd like to work with if we were in  the movie industry. It's a fun one!

Formed way back in the days of silent film, two of the four Shaw brothers (Run Run and Runme to be precise) turned an unspectacular business concern into the greatest of all Asian action film companies!   Rivaled only much later (and to a far lesser degree) by Raymond Chow's Golden Harvest, Shaw productions were known for their revolving casts, stunning sets and costumerie and over the top mixtures of myth, fantasy and horror with some fairly grounded martial arts technique, with both barehanded and exotic weapons fighting coming into play! From core directors like horror experts Ho Meng Hua, Chih-Hung Kuei and the gothic-leaning swordplay of Chor Yuen, we'll proceed to the true masters of the genre, graceful fight coordinator cum director Lau Kar-Leung and the incomparable father of heroic bloodshed, Chang Cheh! Join us as we talk everything from Wang Yu and David Chiang to Ti Lung and the Venoms, only here on Weird Scenes! Week 26 Flying Fists and Shining Swords - speaking of Shaw Bros.    

Cambiamos de década pero no de productora; Shaw Brothers facturó otra película para cine en 2003, esta vez a cargo de unos de sus realizadores más célebres, el venerable Lau Kar-Leung, que se une al por aquel entonces en alza Jacky Wu Jing para revisitar uno de sus estilos de artes marciales predilectos; el del mono. Pese a todo, el director se reservó el coprotagonismo junto a las nuevas estrellas para demostrar que aún le quedaba fuerza y agilidad pese a sus casi -por aquel entonces- setenta años. Víctor nos habla hoy de esta mezcla entre artes marciales, comedia y pseudowestern. Hasta mañana!

La primera mitad de los noventa en el cine de artes marciales de Hong Kong se vio dominada por un regreso a los clichés clásicos del cine de kung fu y wuxia, pero elevados a centésima potencia. Los luchadores que desafían las leyes de la física serán la norma y las tramas ambientadas en el pasado casi obligatorias. Operación escorpión entra dentro de esos cánones con una historia de un joven estudiante interpretado por el stuntman Chin Kar-Lok y su aprendizaje de la mano de dos excéntricos maestros interpretados por el gigantón Frankie Chin y un clásico de este cine como Lau Kar-Leung. Pero inevitablemente es el sorprendente Kim Won-Jin el que se lleva las ovaciones como el villano que da nombre a la película, que realiza unas proezas atléticas difíciles de creer. Nos vemos mañana!

1984 suele ser considerado el año final del ciclo del cine de kung fu clásico. Aunque todavía habría películas "de época" unos años después, es un buen barómetro ya que Jackie Chan había empezado a romper moldes con Los piratas del mar de China y un año después protagonizaría Armas invencibles. Pero volvamos al old school con uno de sus más notables representantes, el venerable Lau Kar-Leung, que con esta película realizó una especie de "canto de cisne" del género, ya que se trata de una aventura trágica cuyo pesimismo logró filtrarse más allá de las cámaras. Uno de sus protagonistas, Alexander Fu Sheng, ídolo del estudio Shaw Brothers, murió en un accidente automovilístico durante el rodaje y sus escenas tuvieron que ser adaptadas para el metraje final. Víctor nos habla hoy de esta oscura y sangrienta película. Hasta mañana!
