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. It's an episode that will give you The Glow, whatever the hell The Glow is.If you want to help us get our squeaky-voiced girlfriends a spot on a local VJ's show, you can donate to our Patreon where you'll get a bonus episode of this show every month, plus weekly written reviews of The Twilight Zone, Doctor Who and The X-Files.

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.

Producida por los legendarios estudios Shaw Brothers en 1983, esta cinta hongkonesa no es solo una película: es una experiencia sensorial cargada de misticismo budista, venganza, magia negra, monjes guerreros, cadáveres flotantes, insectos viscosos, hechicería, y escenas que no se borran fácilmente de la memoria.

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.

Die glotzenden Zimbelaffen Lea, Micha und Janno machen sich auf eine neue Reise rund um die Filmwelt und schauen sich in der neuen Connection "Monks around the world" an, wie und warum es verschiedenste Mönche auf die große Leinwand geschafft haben. In dieser Episode geht es in den fernen Osten, nach Hong Kong. Dort, wo einst die Shaw Brothers das knallharte Filmgeschäft beherrschten, brachten es so manche Menschen zu einiger Bekanntheit - entsprechendes Talent vorausgesetzt. Letzteres hat Stephen Chow ganz sicher, wie er unter anderem mit "Liebesgrüße aus Peking" und dem Welthit "Kung Fu Hustle" unter beweis stellte. Heute soll aber um mittlerweile gratis bei Netzkino verfügbaren "Shaolin Soccer" gehen, bei dem Chow in Personalunion als Hauptdarsteller, Regisseur, Drehbuchautor, Produzent und Actionchoreograph strahlen durfte.

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.

「香港電影史導論 Podcast第六集」討論大網 有關這系列的Podcast, 詳情請看這裡。 第六集「嘉禾的出現及自由競爭下1970年代影業的興旺」 討論大網: 1970年開始時,擁有影城和院線,製作量龐大的邵氏兄弟公司好像一個絕不可能被打倒的影壇巨人,結果它卻製造出自己的強大敵人,那就是從邵氏公司的管理人員鄒文懷。鄒在邵氏因方逸華主政而離開組織嘉禾公司,它發掘了李小龍,承接了國泰公司的片廠,組織了院線,再由許冠文喜劇屢破票房紀錄。嘉禾由一家資金短絀的公司發展成足以與邵氏分庭抗禮的國際有名的大公司,並成為1980至1990香港電影的中流砥柱,可說是一個傳奇。除了嘉禾,1970年代在不同時期都有一些獨立電影公司在票房上創出佳績,為影業帶來新風,包括思遠、繽繽,這都與香港影業自由競爭脫不了干系。 在這第六集的podcast, 我們一共分開三節,在第三節,我們討論了以下內容:七十年代香港電影與台灣電影的關係如何?為何可以說是歷史上最緊密的時期?隨著粵語片停產,台灣電影進入香港市場,哪些作品受到了歡迎?許多台灣電影人來到香港註冊開公司,並在香港進行電影後期製作,原因是什麼?為什麼香港在這個年代的後期製作會受益於台灣電影的湧入?台灣電影在香港是如何沒落的?這與香港在自由氣氛下爆發的創作力有何關係?香港在自由的環境下,如何超越台灣影人的作品? 「南下影人」在七十年代還有發展嗎?香港電影業界與外國(主要是美國)電影業界有哪些聯繫?雙方自六十年代開始交流後對香港電影製作有什麼影響?七十年代,不少片場倒閉,取而代之的是租借器材公司,例如沙龍,為什麼會出現這種現象?對電影業有什麼貢獻?--------- Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 6 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 6: “The Emergence of Golden Harvest and the Flourishing of the Film Industry in the 1970s Under Free Competition" At the start of the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Company, with its studios and cinema chains and a massive production volume, seemed like an invincible giant in the film industry. However, it created its formidable competitor: Raymond Chow, a former Shaw Brothers executive. Chow left the company due to disagreements with Mona Fong's management and founded Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest discovered Bruce Lee, took over Cathay Organization's studios, and established its cinema chain. The success of Michael Hui's comedies repeatedly broke box office records. Golden Harvest evolved from a financially struggling company into an internationally renowned giant capable of rivaling Shaw Brothers. It became a pillar of Hong Kong cinema from the 1980s to the 1990s, embodying a legendary success story. In addition to Golden Harvest, several independent film companies achieved significant box office success during the 1970s, bringing fresh ideas to the industry. These included companies like Seasonal Film Corporation and Bo Ho Film Company, which thrived due to the free competition in Hong Kong's film industry. In this sixth episode of the podcast, we divided our discussion into three segments. In the third segment, we covered the following topics:How were Hong Kong and Taiwanese films related in the 1970s, and why can this period be considered the closest in history?With the cessation of Cantonese films, Taiwanese films entered the Hong Kong market. Which works were well-received?Why did many Taiwanese filmmakers come to Hong Kong to register companies and conduct post-production work there? Why did Hong Kong's post-production industry benefit from the influx of Taiwanese films during this period?How did Taiwanese films decline in Hong Kong, and how is this related to the creative explosion in Hong Kong's free atmosphere? How did Hong Kong surpass Taiwanese filmmakers' works in a free environment?Did "Filmmakers from Mainland China" continue to develop in the 1970s?What connections existed between Hong Kong's film and foreign (mainly American) film industries? What impact did their interactions since the 1960s have on Hong Kong film production?In the 1970s, many film studios closed down and were replaced by equipment rental companies, such as Salon. Why did this phenomenon occur, and what contributions did it make to the film industry? ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

Outline of Introduction to Hong Kong Film Industry Podcast Part 6 About this series of podcasts, please check here. Episode 6: “The Emergence of Golden Harvest and the Flourishing of the Film Industry in the 1970s Under Free Competition" At the start of the 1970s, the Shaw Brothers Company, with its studios and cinema chains and a massive production volume, seemed like an invincible giant in the film industry. However, it created its formidable competitor: Raymond Chow, a former Shaw Brothers executive. Chow left the company due to disagreements with Mona Fong's management and founded Golden Harvest. Golden Harvest discovered Bruce Lee, took over Cathay Organization's studios, and established its cinema chain. The success of Michael Hui's comedies repeatedly broke box office records. Golden Harvest evolved from a financially struggling company into an internationally renowned giant capable of rivaling Shaw Brothers. It became a pillar of Hong Kong cinema from the 1980s to the 1990s, embodying a legendary success story. In addition to Golden Harvest, several independent film companies achieved significant box office success during the 1970s, bringing fresh ideas to the industry. These included companies like Seasonal Film Corporation and Bo Ho Film Company, which thrived due to the free competition in Hong Kong's film industry. In this sixth episode of the podcast, we divided our discussion into three segments. In the second segment, we covered the following topics: How did Golden Harvest overcome the difficulties following Bruce Lee's sudden death?In the 1970s, Hong Kong society transitioned from traditional to modern, with the film industry reflecting this social change. How did Golden Harvest surpass Shaw Brothers during this transformation?Golden Harvest had many stars. How significant were the influences of Sammo Hung, Michael Hui, John Woo, and Jackie Chan?What are comedy kung fu films? What are some famous works, and how did they influence "Kung Fu Panda"?How did comedy kung fu films help Cantonese-language movies become mainstream in Hong Kong?Besides Golden Harvest, many independent film production companies emerged in the 1970s. Who were involved, and what works did they produce? ****************** Follow the hosts: Kay Ho's Instagram: @kayho1430 Po Fung's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/flash1030/ This episode is part of the "Preserve Yesterday - Back to Lee Theatre VR" project, which was a collaboration with the Hong Kong XR Museum.

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.

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.
This week's pick is the 1976 Shaw Brothers goofy horror/revenge movie Oily Maniac. A crippled man uses black magic to transform himself into an oil monster that deals out violent justice to bad people.
It's 1978, so don your bell bottoms and get groovy, baby, because we're into the old school Shaw Brothers and the Five Deadly Venoms!

This week's pick is the bonkers 1983 Shaw Brothers film Holy Flame of the Martial World. A brother and sister seek vengeance for the death of their parents through using the mythical yin/yang Holy Flame kung-fu technique. Featuring Golden Snake Boy, snake bladder induced finger lasers, and the deadly Ghostly Laugh!

From Chile to Mexico to Hollywood - and back again - Marko Zaror's incredible rise in the action world reached a new crescendo in 2023. Known as the 'Latin Dragon', Marko's scene-stealing performance as the main heavy, Chidi, in Chad Stahelski's masterpiece, 'John Wick: Chapter 4', saw him duel on-screen with fight legends Hiroyuki Sanada, Donnie Yen and Keanu Reeves; meanwhile, back in his home country of Chile, he reunited with his childhood friend - the filmmaker Ernesto Díaz Espinoza - to produce and star in their fifth indie action film together, the deeply personal 'The Fist of the Condor'. Now capable of shifting between key roles in huge productions and making his own movies the way he wants them to be made, Zaror has reached a sweet-spot in his career - but it has not been an easy journey with plenty of bumps along the way. At one point, he even considered retiring from the film industry altogether, and training to become a professional MMA fighter, until a timely conversation with Robert Rodriguez convinced him otherwise. He has since gone on to work with Rodriguez in many film and TV projects, including 'Machete Kills', 'From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series', and 'Alita: Battle Angel'. In this conversation, Marko explores his roots as a Bruce Lee-obsessed kid in Chile with a dream of making it in the movies, to eventually ripping up the screen in one of the biggest - and best - action franchises in Hollywood history.LINKSMarko Zaror on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1047252/Marko Zaror on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markozaror/Marko Zaror on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markozaroroficialMarko Zaror profile on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/ProfileMarkoZaror'Fist of the Condor' trailer: https://youtu.be/x53EpE12AsY'Fist of the Condor' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/FistOfTheCondor2023'John Wick: Chapter 4' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/JohnWickChapter4KFMG'Kiltro' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/Kiltro2006Our not-so-comprehensive list of fight-centric action films released in 2023: https://bit.ly/KFMGPodEOYShow2023PartOneSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by 'Five Deadly Rebels', a kung fu sci-fi scripted podcast from DimensionGate, available now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and anywhere you get your podcasts.

One is an illegal immigrant on the run from a ruthless Hong Kong gangster. The other, a struggling student from Taiwan just trying to make his father proud. Their paths cross in the most unlikely of circumstances, but together they must survive the mean streets of…. CHINATOWN! That's right, this week we are taking a look at the 1977 Shaw Brothers Kung Fu classic, ‘Chinatown Kid'. Directed by genre pioneer Chang Cheh, and starring one of the biggest superstars of the era, Alexander Fu Sheng, this gripping tale of struggle, brotherhood, and revenge, delivers plenty of hard-hitting action, as well as a surprising amount of social commentary as well. Today's episode is extra long as we spend a good 30 minutes trying to dissect how many different versions/edits there are of this film, and how the plot completely changes depending on which version you watch! We also take a look at the amazing Kung Fu battles, the thematic elements which make it a surprising entry in the long list of Hong Kong migration films, as well the interesting and tragic career of Alexander Fu Sheng. Don't forget to subscribe, download, like, and share with your friends! Thanks again for the continued support and we hope you enjoy!
It's time to dive back into the Shaw Brothers cinematic treasure chest, this time for the sci-fi action film “The Super Inframan” starring Danny Lee and a whole bunch of monsters and stylish costumes. (originally published 12/03/2021)See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
