Podcasts about shaw brothers

In this episode, we kick off the new year with our first proper film. We felt it was time to circle back to the much-beloved 80s to revisit one of the first directors we geeked out over on this podcast. So join us as we check out William Friedkin's over the top epic To Live and Die in L.A. from 1985. Jason unpacks the mastery on hand during the film's production, and Dustin shares his initial impressions, having surprisingly never seen the flick before. But before all that, we dish on what we've been watching in 2026 so far, and that includes more Shaw Brothers antics and a pair of questionable found-footage horror movies. And so much more!

A new series where I sit down with a guest and talk about a 1983 horror film and horror in 1983 as a whole. The guest this time around Ryan Smith - Long time Hong Kong film fan and expert. Recently he recorded a commentary track with previous guests Art Ettinger and Bruce Holecheck for the Vinegar Syndrome release of Her Vengeance. He has had numerous guest spots on podcasts as well.

In this engaging episode, Payal speaks with Mr. Richard Chan, who shares memories of growing up along Petain Road in a large family of eleven siblings raised by two mothers. Living in a modest SIT flat, Richard recalls the closeness of family life, sleeping on the balcony during humid nights and walking miles to school each day. He paints a lively picture of the neighborhood's food culture, from the famous char kway teow hawker who fried noodles while seated due to polio, to the aroma of dishes wrapped in opeh leaves. Richard also takes us back to the days of New World Amusement Park, owned by the Shaw Brothers, where bumper cars, shooting galleries, and open-air cinemas brought joy to many. Through his storytelling, Richard beautifully captures the warmth, resilience, and everyday magic of Singapore's past.[Lumina Vitae,Light of Life,Melting Pot Series, Podcast,The Bloom Fund,Stories of Singapore,Heritage ReimaginedCommunity Through Art,Singapore Stories]#LuminaVitae #MeltingPotSeries #TheBloomFund #SingaporeStories #CommunityArt #TheBloomFund #SingaporeHeritage #AIMeetsMemory #IntergenerationalStories #NHB Hosted on Acast.

There is some more from Dan Curtis, a giant snake and one of Robert Altman's more obscure oddities. Lionsgate alone has one of the great making of documentaries of all time, Kevin Smith's hilarious riff on religion and faith plus the film that makes Tarantino lash out on The Hunger Games. There are grandiose collections from the Shaw Brothers and the first name of mainstreamed erotica.

On Episode 186 of Floating Through Film, we're continuing our annual horror month! Week #3's picks were made by Blake and he picked two very different kinds of horror movies, starting with the 1982 Shaw Brothers film, Human Lanterns, followed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa's 1997 horror classic, Cure (53:58).  We hope you enjoy! Episode Next Week: Horror Month Week 4 (Pieces + I Saw the Tv Glow) Music:- Intro: created by Richie - Break: Cure (https://www.youtube.com/watchv=D_XKJe1_w58)- Outro: Cure (https://www.youtube.com/watchv=D_XKJe1_w58) Hosts: Luke Seay (LB: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/seayluke/⁠, Twitter: https://x.com/luke67s⁠)Blake Tourville (LB: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/blaketourville/⁠, Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/vladethepoker⁠)Dany Joshuva (LB: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/djoshuva/⁠, Twitter: ⁠https://x.com/grindingthefilm⁠) Podcast Links:Spotify and Apple: ⁠https://linktr.ee/floatingthroughfilm⁠Letterboxd: ⁠https://letterboxd.com/floatingfilm/⁠Email: floatingthroughfilm@gmail.com

The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires (1974) was chosen by Dave, and it's a wild blend of classic British gothic horror and Hong Kong martial arts cinema, a true oddity even by Hammer Films standards. By the early 1970s, Hammer was struggling to keep its brand of horror relevant, as audience tastes shifted toward more modern and visceral scares. Looking to revive interest in their iconic Dracula franchise, the studio teamed up with Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers, who were at the height of their popularity in the kung fu boom. The result was an ambitious Anglo-Chinese co-production that brought together Hammer regulars like Peter Cushing and a full roster of Shaw Brothers talent, hoping to merge Eastern action with Western horror spectacle.The production was shot largely at the Shaw Brothers' studios in Hong Kong, with additional second-unit work in England. Directed by Hammer veteran Roy Ward Baker, with martial arts choreography overseen by Shaw Brothers action specialists, the film was one of Hammer's most visually adventurous projects, complete with elaborate sets, ornate costumes, and an energetic fusion of filmmaking styles. However, cultural and creative differences between the two studios led to a somewhat chaotic production. Despite its uneven tone and limited success at the box office, the film has since developed a cult following, celebrated for its eccentric charm and its experimental East-meets-West ambition.If you enjoy the show, we have a Patreon, so become a supporter ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryFrom the misty mountains of Transylvania, to the deadly temples of the Far East, evil has a new address.When the curse of Dracula reaches across continents, only one man can stop the rise of the undead, Professor Van Helsing!

Episode 96 - Pack your bags because we are headed back to China as the ninjas take on the Shaolin monks. This week's main feature is the Ninja vs Shaolin (1983). This one is more kung fu than ninja and the ninjas are not portrayed very favorably. It once again features Japanese in China as the Japanese employ ninjas and other schemes to try and take over a Shaolin Temple. It is pretty ridiculous and low budget but it has some great martial arts. We had a lot of fun discussing this, and Brian and Marco spent some time discussing the supplemental: 5 Elements Ninja, a Shaw Brothers production. Tune in next week as we cover some anime and watch Ninja Scroll (1993).email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com

In the forty-eighth episode of Season 11: The Son of Cult Flicks, Kyle is joined by actors Ben McGinley and Nick Earl to discuss the high-fantasy blend of genre, from the American western to the Shaw Brothers kung-fu epics, in John Carpenter's unapologetically wild immersion into action hero tropes, the power of community, and a commentary on the fear of the unknown in the cult sensation Big Trouble in Little China (1986).

Shawgust is here once again, our annual foray in the world of Shaw Brothers horror movies. This episode we discuss Sex Beyond the Grave, which is not a salacious as the title suggests, but is a rape-revenge and gambling PSA film by way of Poltergeist (that description will make sense once you watch it. The film is currently available in a box set from Imprint, Shaw Shock Vol. 1.Next episode: Hell Has No Boundary (1982) https://ok.ru/video/4357734861449Join our discord! https://discord.gg/F8WsTzE9qtFollow this podcast on Instagram @unsunghorrors.Follow Lance on Instagram and Letterboxd @lschibiLance's shop: https://lanceschibi.bigcartel.com/Follow Erica on Letterboxd or Instagram @hexmassacreLogo by Cody SchibiPart of Someone's Favorite Productions Podcast Network:  https://linktr.ee/someonesfavoriteproductions

It is a light week for physical media but that does not mean there aren't some heavy hitters. Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski are here to catch you up including a pair of grim anti-war films from Kon Ichikawa. There is a whole new batch of martial arts films from the Shaw Brothers. Peter Weir's dad-movie maritime epic gets an upgrade as does a great starring vehicle for David Dastmalchian. They talk about Sam Peckinpah's song-inspired Hal Needham film and the 40th anniversary of a John Cusack teen classic. Though few films will compare to the majesty of a masterpiece among masterpieces from Billy Wilder that belongs on every movie lover's shelf.3:45 - Criterion (Fires on the Plain 4K, The Burmese Harp 4K)10:23 – Shout Factory (Shaw Brothers Classics: Volume Seven)13:32 - Disney (Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (4K Steelbook))23:55 - Paramount (Sunset Boulevard (4K), Better Off Dead (4K))51:06 - IFC (Late Night with the Devil (4K Steelbook))1:13:57 - Kino (Convoy (4K))1:13:57 – New Theatrical Title On Blu-ray (Friendship)1:15:09 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCASTBe sure to check outChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.

Video games and movies seem like a perfect fit. For whatever reasons, adaptations done in either direction do not seem to work so well. Over the past few years, there have been a number of familiar horror franchises turned into games. They have been multiplayer affairs with limited shelf life. What makes the Hellraiser video game different?We really enjoyed In a Violent Nature. It was unique, had some great kills, and had an excellent big bad. It left itself open for a sequel, but is that a good thing? Can a movie shot in this style sustain a franchise or should it be left alone? We talk about the next installment and talk about our reservations.Shaw Studios is responsible for some of the most influential and well-regarded kung-fu movies of all time. Even those who have never seen any of their films are likely familiar with names like Five Deadly Venoms and The 36th Chamber of Shaolin. The Battle Wizard definitely belongs on that list.Awesome martial arts fights. A villain with extending metal legs that can break rock. Limb cutting lasers. A protagonist that eats exotic animals. The Battle Wizard has it all and then some. And in between all the wackiness it has a surprisingly well written will they/won't they love story that will gross you out until it warms your heart.Terrestrial has a lot going for it. Its director helmed Hot Tub Time Machine and co-wrote Grosse Pointe Blank and High Fidelity. The cast includes Jermaine Fowler and Pauline Chalamet. The premise is a fan favorite that has been used in screwball comedies and sitcoms. So, what happened?The writing is surprisingly dodgy. There is a science fiction aspect that does nothing to the story but seems like it is supposed to be something very important. Even worse, the characters are very poorly done. Most tellingly, Terrestrial goes out of its way to turn the main character into an awful person that is impossible to get behind. Which makes the movie impossible to enjoy.

On Episode 18, Pete & Seb discuss a classic Shaw Brothers grindhouse kung fu double bill that played the Times Square in July of 1979. First Ti Lung and David Chiang star in DUEL OF THE IRON FIST a bloody kung fu gangster mashup from Chang Cheh, Then Gordon Liu must pass through the tricky obstacle filled 36 chambers of shaolin in Lau Kar Leung's MASTER KILLER.

Berry Gordy founded perhaps the most famous independent record label in history - Motown - co-wrote some of the most enduring hits of the soul genre and dated Diana Ross. Yet he still had an unfulfilled ambition to... produce a martial arts movie? Apparently yes, and The Last Dragon was the result. A peculiar blend of kung-fu thrills, slapstick comedy, music-industry melodrama and charmingly naïve romance, you may be surprised at how well it all works.This week, Graham is joined - for the first time in too long! - by The Geek Show's Ben to discuss this extremely odd and thoroughly charming movie, along with the Wu-Tang Clan's love of Shaw Brothers samples, star Vanity's thoughts on Madonna, the unexpected early appearance by a very notable character actor, and so much more.

Wir nehmen euch in dieser Folge zurück in eine Zeit, in der Männer mit langen Zöpfen und weißen Augenbrauen durch die Luft flogen, jeder Schlag mit einem kreativen Soundeffekt untermalt wurde und nahezu alle Filme in einem Wu-Tang-Song gesampelt wurden. Doch wer glaubt, dass die Shaw Brothers nur Martial Arts Filme produziert haben, der hat die Rechnung ohne fliegende Köpfe, Skelettdämonen und Hündchen gemacht.

King Hu is one of China's most influential filmmakers, famous for his historical martial arts films which helped to popularise the wuxia (‘martial chivalry') genre in the 1960s and 70s with classic films like 'Come Drink with Me' (1966), 'Dragon Inn' (1967), and 'A Touch of Zen' (1971) - the latter of which he received the Technical Grand Prize at the 1975 Cannes Film Festival. His work has inspired directors ranging from Tsui Hark to Ang Lee, Zhang Yimou to Quentin Tarantino, and since his death in 1997 at the age of 64, organisations like the King Hu Foundation have continued to promote and champion his work. As a result, much of his exquisite output is now readily available around the world in lovingly restored digital formats. To discuss the life and work of this extraordinary filmmaker, we welcome two King Hu Foundation board members: Michael Berry, Director of the Center for Chinese Studies at UCLA, who is also a Professor of Contemporary Chinese Cultural Studies; and the filmmaker, Céline Zen, a Chinese-born, France-based producer and director. We discuss the early life of the Beijing-born auteur who was forced into exile in Hong Kong after the Chinese Communist Revolution, and his journey from artist to actor, writer, and director, becoming one of the biggest talents at new Shaw Brothers production company before his relocation to Taiwan. We discuss the meaning of 'wuxia'; his influences - from his love of calligraphy to Ming dynasty history and the Chinese Opera - and how, despite his critical praise, his films were not always successful in their day, and the toll this took on his work in later life. A huge thank you to Audrey Edwards at the King Hu Foundation for her help in organising this episode.LINKSKing Hu Foundation website: https://kinghufoundationusa.org/King Hu Foundation on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kinghufoundation/ Michael Berry's website: https://michael-berry.com/ Michael Berry on the UCLA website: https://www.alc.ucla.edu/person/michael-berry/ Michael Berry on Douban: http://site.douban.com/108600/Michael Berry on Weibo: https://weibo.com/bairuiwenMichael Berry on X: https://x.com/BairuiwenMichael Berry on ClubHouse: http://clubhousedb.com/user/bairuiwen Buy Michael Berry's books on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Michael-Berry/author/B001HCVQQWCéline Zen on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/celine-zen-7a6570195/Céline Zen on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4508435/Trailer for Céline Zen's 'Vous êtes jeunes, vous êtes beaux' (2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vIOOeqph08A tribute to King Hu: https://youtu.be/rGueQmyN_kMKung Fu Movie Guide Podcast - 'Dragon Inn' special - Live in Lewes with Katrina Durden: https://bit.ly/KFMGPodKatrinaDurdenLiveBuy King Hu films on Blu-ray in the UK from 88 Films and Eureka Entertainment: 'Come Drink with Me' (https://88-films.myshopify.com/products/come-drink-with-me-88-asia-24), 'Dragon Inn' (https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/dragon-inn/), 'A Touch of Zen' (https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/a-touch-of-zen/), 'The Fate of Lee Khan' (https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/the-fate-of-lee-khan/), 'The Valiant Ones' (https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/the-valiant-ones/), 'Raining in the Mountain' (https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/raining-in-the-mountain-kong-shan-ling-yu/), 'Legend of the Mountain' (https://eurekavideo.co.uk/movie/legend-of-the-mountain/).King Hu profile on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/KingHuProfile 'Dragon Inn' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/DragonGateInn'A Touch of Zen' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/ATouchOfZen Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of the podcast, Phillip goes solo to talk about 1972 Shaw Brothers movie The Water Margin, starring David Chiang, Lung Ti, and directed by Cheh Chang. This movie is a slow burn but has some cool stuff in. There are alot of names to keep track of but it's a good time. Phillip starts the show by giving the general information about the movie with some extra facts thrown in. Then he skips listener opinions from Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook, because there aren't any. Phillip then walks us through the story of the film. He then talks about what he thought Tarantino might have liked or used in a film. Phillip then rates the movie on a 1 to 5 scale. Then he lets you know whether he would buy it, rent it, or find it for free. It's then time for Phil's Film Favorite of the Week; Sinners (2025) (5 stars.) Then Phillip lets you know what's coming up next week on the podcast. Come back on May 2nd when Phillip will be joined once again by "The Vern" from Cinema Recall Podcast to discuss 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It should be a fun time. Thanks for listening.

Vamos allá de nuevo con una de terror de la Shaw Brothers, y encima de Kuei Chi-Hung, del que ya hablé el año pasado. Corpse Mania es un curioso intento de colar elementos de giallo en una peli de HK, pero no os preocupeis, encontrareis los habituales gusanos y cosas desdagradables, y en general mucha necrofilia. Agh.

Ramlee and the Shaw Brothers' film industry, blending classic opera with the cinematic flair and vibrant culture of the era. Featuring a talented double cast, the performances promise a visual and auditory feast, and we find out all about it from conductor Dr Bernard Tan, and tenor Tan Chee Shen.

On this weeks episode of the podcast we return to both Shaw Brothers and Shaolin to unravel the murder mystery of SHAOLIN INTRUDERS. We ask Devan whether she's changed her mind on Shaolin films, Cyrus surprises us all and, as always, I gush over what I think is an unheralded classic. With all its weapon fights, does Devan absolutely love this one? Later, I give the other two some solid "Would you rather?" questions and we chat about weird dreams (I take it to a dark place!). Enjoy!

We take on Monkey Man with Martin House Brewing's Gorilla Blood and really like one of them. Our film pairing is perfect: Mad Monkey Kung Fu (1979), our first time with Shaw Brothers kung fu....with a beer that smells 'like a butthole.' You kind of have to listen now.  Hear this week's After Hours bonus episode at: http://www.patreon.com/beerandamoviepodcast

We talk about the Hammer and Shaw Brothers co-production, The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires. 

As the Month of Pete winds down we are both relieved and saddened to see it go. With movies like HK: The Forbidden Superhero, we can only pray it can't get worse but then shocks us as he introduces films that are so much fun we can't contain ourselves. Right out the gate, he hits us with 7th Curse, which is a legit classic but then ends the month with a movie that so wholly encompasses our childhood that it feels like a smack across the face with a big rubber nostalgia d!ck. Hmmm.. maybe I should rethink my metaphor. Josh from The Evil Deaths podcasts joins us this week as Pete selected Super Inframan and we are over the moon.  The Shaw Brothers movie studio out of Hong Kong is beloved by all who even passively enjoy the kung fu genre but the magic of this film is that it blends ridiculous martial arts camp seamlessly with Japanese tokusatsu. What's tokusatsu? Just think Power Rangers and you know exactly both what I mean and what you're getting into.  Don't think too hard about this film. Just enjoy.

A psychotic craftsman pits two rival Kung-Fu masters against each other while designing special lanterns from a disturbing source.
