If we told you Iron Thunder has a man drowning in his own blood, a person crushed under an exploding helicopter, and another man pulling a weird circuitry squid out of his brain, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a great movie. Unfortunately Iron Thunder is also almost 2 hours long so there's a LOT of filler (like the villain monologuing, a pointless sequence involving a desert militia, and a baffling sex scene that happens during a dangerous mission). Join us as we try to make any of this interesting as we wrap up our discussion on Iron Thunder. Thanks (?) to High and Low: A Kurosawa Podcast for the recommendation.

Special guest Spencer joins us from "High and Low: A Kurosawa Podcast" to discuss what is most assuredly NOT a Kurosawa film: a cheaply made chopsocky kung fu film from Taiwan. Join us as we answer the most pressing questions about this movie, such as: which costumes would RuPaul wear? Does the film meet the criteria for Six Degrees of Wu-Tang? And is this all really an allegory for a Chinese restaurant in Arizona? Don't wait nineteen years to find out! Listen to our review of Return of the Kung Fu Dragon!
