THE BOXER'S OMEN / MO (1983) Hay películas que desafían la lógica, que cruzan la línea entre lo absurdo y lo sagrado, entre lo grotesco y lo sublime. Películas que parecen haber sido concebidas en un delirio febril... y sin embargo, ahí están. Hoy, en este episodio, nos sumergimos en una de las joyas más extrañas, extremas y fascinantes del cine de culto oriental: The Boxer's Omen. 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. Te invitamos a abrir esa caja A cruzar la puerta del templo. Y a enfrentar el destino que aguarda en lo más profundo de The Boxer's Omen. En esta ocasión dos mienbros de nuestro equipo se enfrentan por primera vez con el secreto más profundo de The Boxer's Omen. Sesión Videoclub nos permite viajar en el tiempo y disfrutar de aquellos días en los que nos reuníamos con amigos para ver películas de videoclub.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
