Der Shawscope-Marathon geht weiter! Sebastian und Marco sprechen heute über "Ten Tigers from Kwangtung" aus dem Jahr 1980. Regisseur Chang Cheh dirigiert diesmal einen Allstar-Cast, angeführt von Ti Lung, Alexander Fu Sheng und dem Venom Mob, durch die Origin-Story der Zehn Tiger von Kanton, legendäre Volkshelden, die sich gegen die Übergriffe des Qing-Kaisers und seiner Beamten zur Wehr setzten. Zunächst werden einige Schüler der Zehn Tiger Opfer eines hinterhältigen Anschlags. Während sie überlegen, wer hinter dem Angriff stecken mag, erinnern sie sich an jene Zeit, als die Zehn Tiger das erste Mal zusammenkamen: Meister Li (Ti Lung) ist bei Tag ehrbarer Pfandleiher und Nacht einer der ärgsten Feinde der korrupten Regierung. Insgeheim nimmt er einen ehemaligen Beamten bei sich auf, der eine neue Revolution plant. Um das Leben des Strategen zu schützen, knüpft Li neue Freundschaften und trifft auf alte Feinde!

Una épica más cercana al peplum que al kung fu con traiciones familiares, lanzas a go-go y montones de soldados muertos. Que tengáis una feliz entrada al 2024.

Episode 84 (Chang Cheh: Grandmaster part 2) Continuing our trip through Chang Cheh’s career at the Shaw Brothers studio, Alec and Derek watch a trio of triad gangster films starring Kung fu stars David Chiang, Ti Lung and Chen Kuan-tai, beginning with 1970 film Vengeance a stylish and brutal revenge tale reminiscent of John Boorman’s neo-noir Point Blank. David Chiang plays Guan Xiao Lou a man with a single minded drive to avenge the people responsible for killing his brother and Peking Opera dance partner Ti Lung. Next up The Duel sees Ti Lung and David Chiang face off in a series of crosses and double crosses setting up a number of unhinged fight scenes that clearly foreshadow the mayhem of The Crazy 88. Concluding this episode with The Boxer from Shantung starring Kung Fu legend Chen Kuan-Tai in his first leading role as Ma Yongzhen a lowly laborer who climbs his way up the ranks from the gutter to triad gang leader only to be met with increasing bloodshed ending in one of the most spectacularly relentless battles in film history.Three ways to support this podcast:1.

Episode 83 (Chang Cheh: Grandmaster) Alec and Derek begin a journey through the career of one of the undisputed masters of action films and one of the greatest directors of the famous Shaw Brothers Studio, Chang Cheh. Beginning with the film that started it all 1967s The One-Armed Swordsman. Following the success of King Hu’s Wuxia classic Come Drink with Me, and taking influence from Rebel Without A Cause, Cheh and star (Jimmy) Wang Yu present a brooding teenaged swordfighter who’s coming of age is complicated by the need to kill a horde of trained killers while defending the very people who cut off his arm. With its vivid color palate and displays of graphic violence, The Shaw Brothers had their first million dollar smash hit, lighting the fuse for the Kung Fu craze of the 1970’s, ensuring Hong Kong cinemas would never be the same. Only four years later Cheh would reboot the idea with The New One-Armed Swordsman this time with stars David Chiang and Ti Lung (more about them later) and would amplify the melodrama and violence to dizzying heights creating a film even more memorable (and homoerotic) than its beloved predecessor. All of the films we will be discussing in this series are currently streaming on Amazon Prime and we encourage our listeners to watch along and share their thoughts!Three ways to support this podcast:1.

We continue our Martial Arts season with Rob's favourite decade (not just in terms of Martial Arts films, nor even in terms of films…just ever): the 90s. After some reviewing, we look at Jackie Chan's use of the world around him, the difference between Chan films and Bruce Lee vehicles, and the pleasingly anarchic quality that this movie has when it comes to other characters' involvement. Next Time Our next film in the Martial Arts season is a potentially genre-defying one: DISTRICT 13 (2004).

And finally, here's an article about the extraordinary cultural impact of one of Rob's recommendations this week.

Special Guests: Karen Fang, Kenneth E. Hall, Barna William DonovanGuest Co-Hosts: Beth AccomandoAfter a brief hiatus, The Projection Booth returns with a discussion of John Woo's A Better Tomorrow (1986). The film is seen as a hallmark of the “heroic bloodshed” subgenre of action films, doing for gunplay what a generation of Hong Kong films had done with swords.The film tells the tale of Ho (Ti Lung), a criminal whose younger brother, Kit (Leslie Cheung), is a police officer. He's betrayed by a fellow gangster (Waise Lee) and sent up the river. When he returns to Hong Kong he wants to stay on the right side of the law which is more difficult than it should be.The film speaks to loyalty, brotherhood, and put Chow Yun-Fat on the map as a bankable action star.Cinema Junkie's Beth Accomando and Mike wax fondly about the glory days of HK Cinema, twin brothers, strange sequels, and the true colors of a hero.

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.
On the occasion of its single showing in Seattle this week, Mike and Sean talk about John Woo's A Better Tomorrow, with Chow Yun-fat, Ti Lung and Leslie Cheung.

And they argue about Pixar's latest, Inside Out, celebrate Mel Brooks's birthday and make their picks for the Essential American Movie.
El cine wuxia y sus enrevesadas historias de espadachines sobrehumanos fue perdiendo importancia en los 70 a medida que se imponían historias más "terrenales" con maestros de kung fu menos psicotrónicos. Por suerte, el prolífico director Chu Yuan siguió facturando grandilocuentes épicas coloristas adaptando las novelas del famoso escritor asiático Gu Long.Y estas tenían su público ávido de confusas tramas de venganzas y armas sobrenaturales, por lo que el género estuvo a salvo aunque a menor escala. Víctor nos habla hoy de la que quizás sea la mejor película de género del director, The Magic Blade, en donde Ti Lung debe hacer una forzosa alianza con un espadachín rival (Lo Lieh) para impedir que un malvado maestro de los bajos fondos consiga un arma terrible de ridículo nombre.
Entramos en la década de los 70, unos años cruciales para el cine de artes marciales. Bruce Lee se convirtió en una mega estrella asiática, pero hubo otros dos grandes ídolos cinematográficos que se ganaron al público chino; Ti Lung y David Chiang. Los dos protagonizan la película de la que hablamos hoy, la sangrienta The Duel, realizada por el que suele considerarse el padrino del cine de acción de Hong Kong, el prolífico Chang Cheh. Una oda gangster a la venganza y a las puñaladas en general que es el origen de todo el heroic bloodshed que vendría quince años después de la mano de gente como John Woo. Disfruten de la masacre, hasta mañana!
