Hey there, movie fans! Welcome back to your favorite podcast about Hollywood's biggest bombs. This month, Not A Bomb is examining some of 2023's biggest box office disasters and critically lambasted films! Buckle up because we've got a treasure trove of cinematic calamities to dissect and explore!In this week's episode, we're thrilled to have Action Film Historian Brandon Brentley on the show! Brandon has worked with numerous distribution companies on their Hong Kong releases, such as Criterion, 88 Films, Shout Factory, Eureka, and Arrow Video. Yes, he's been providing commentary on the best of Hong Kong's cinematic fury and he's kind of a big deal! Once again, we get to talk about Jackie Chan, one of greatest stuntmen of all time in one of his most self-reflective, personal films - Ride On. Marketed as a “Jackie Chan comedy with horse-fu,” Ride On barely made a splash in the domestic box-office and was pretty much ignored in the international market. We think it's safe to say 2 out of the 3 hosts had a profound reaction to the film.Ride On is directed by Larry Yang and stars Jackie Chan, Lui Haocun, Guo Qilin, Wu Jing, Joey Young, Yu Rongguang, Andy On, and Shi Yanneng. If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com or Contact Us - here.

Hello everyone, welcome back to another movie review and today, we'll be discussing... *sighs* Meg 2: The Trench (AKA DEFINITELY everyone's most anticipated movie of the summer!). I was not a fan of the first The Meg so I wasn't exactly chomping at the bits (*wink*) to go see this sequel. Admittedly though, the trailers for this made it look way more self-aware and bonkers fun than the previous one which was just taking itself weirdly seriously for a movie with such bad dialogue. However, the lack of press screenings and low initial reviews definitely did not amp my excitement. I've now seen the film and it's time to review it, and I will answer whether or not this one is "better" than the first one. Enjoy! Meg 2: The Trench: Directed by: Ben Wheatley Screenplay by: Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber and Dean Georgaris Screen Story by: Dean Georgaris and Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber Based on the Novel "The Trench" by Steve Alten Produced by: Belle Avery, Lorenzo di Bonaventura Executive Producers: Cate Adams, Randy Greenberg, Erik Howsam, Ruigang Li, Gerald R.

American propaganda cinema is great, don't get me wrong. But don't you ever want some variety? That's where Wolf Warrior 2 comes in, a proudly nationalistic, pro-Chinese Communist Party action flick!

This week we tackle our first Wu Jing film and what was once the highest grossing movie in Chinese history. We discuss the "country" of Africa, ask "Just how racist is this film?" and ponder the career of Frank Grillo and just how often he's been a good guy. I express my theory about how this movie should have been made in 1988, Cyrus slips into Randy Savage mode to accept a Street Fighter 6 challenge and Devan confesses to enjoying what might be a universally shitty candy. Lots of fun was had on this one! Enjoy!

SCOTT ADKINS, star of the new action movie ONE SHOT, hitting theaters November 5th.With a huge fanbase and 12+ Million followers, multi-hyphenate Scott Adkins is a skilled actor and one of the best martial artists in the world. Mr. Adkins will next be seen in ONE SHOT opposite Ryan Phillippe and Ashley Greene on November 5TH. Other upcoming films include his highly anticipated role in JOHN WICK: CHAPTER 4 opposite Keanu Reeves, CASTLE FALLS, the directorial debut of Dolph Lundgren, DAY SHIFT opposite Jamie Foxx, Karla Souza & Dave Franco.Last year, Scott starred alongside Donnie Yen in the latest installment of the hit Chinese Box office Franchise, IP MAN, which exceeded expectations by grossing more than Star Wars. Scott also starred alongside Wu Jing in the Chinese action film THE WOLF WARRIOR which grossed over $90 million USD in China alone.Scott can also be seen in top projects such as Kathryn Bigelow's ZERO DARK 30 for Sony, AMERICAN ASSASSIN for CBS Films, the Marvel/Disney feature DOCTOR STRANGE, the comedic-spy thriller GRIMSBY for Paramount, THE EXPENDABLES 2, CRIMINAL, LEGACY OF LIES & SEIZED for Lionsgate, DEAD RECKONING opposite K.J. Alpha, THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM, among many others.ABOUT ONE SHOT, IN THEATERS AND ON DEMAND NOVEMBER 5thWhile one-shot films are not a new concept, the first being Hitchcock's Rope (1948), the technique has had a renaissance in recent years, most notably with Oscar Award Winning 1917. Films shot to look as if they are done in one consecutive shot are difficult to film, but films shot in one shot and in real time are a whole other ball game. ONE SHOT uses this technique to create an action film like no other. As you watch the film you are barreling through the twists, turns and explosions right alongside the characters.

时隔四月！爱趣英文开启限时招募！跟着卡卡老师，来一场英文蜕变之旅公号：卡卡课堂 吴京又被“逼捐”？道德绑架英语怎么说？电影《长津湖》持续热映中截至2021年10月11日，《长津湖》票房超40亿。然而谁能想到，在这种情况下，主演吴京竟然被一些人“盯”上了……近日，有网友发帖称，《长津湖》大卖，吴京应该将收益全部捐出来支援国家建设。帖文称，吴京“做爱国生意”“吃爱国红利”。随后，网上甚至开始流传一份“倡议书”，称《长津湖》主演吴京及剧组应将全部票房收入捐给志愿者老兵。不过，多数网友都批评这种所谓“倡议”根本就是“道德绑架”。说起“道德绑架”，我们该如何用英文来表达呢？难道是按字面意思直接翻译成：moral kidnapping吗？其实如果我们和咱中国小伙伴讨论这个词的话，这么翻译肯定是能理解的。因为moral就是“道德”，而kidnapping则有“绑架”的意思。但是，要按这么翻译的话，其实我们忽视了一个问题：kidnapping的确是“绑架”的意思，但在英文中，它仅仅指的是“动作上的绑架”。而“道德绑架”则是“心理上的或者说非肢体动作上的绑架行为”，所以，如果用kidnapping就有些牵强了。那我们应该怎么用英语来表达“道德绑架”呢？第一种：guilt-tripping [ɡɪlt ˈtrɪpɪŋ]guilt表示“愧疚”。而tripping的原形是trip，有绊倒或使…产生幻觉，可做动词，可以做名词。guilt-tripping意为明明自己没做错事，却有一种莫名的负罪感，所以我们将其意译为：道德绑架第二种：emotional blackmail [ɪˈmoʊʃənl ˈblækmeɪl]情感敲诈; 情感讹诈; 情绪勒索;我们都知道，emotional是“情感；情绪”的意思，而blackmail有“绑架；勒索”的含义。看一下牛津词典的解释：所以，这个词组的意思就很好理解啦，和“道德绑架”的意思是一样的~We can't let them practice this emotional blackmail on Wu Jing.我们不能听任他们对吴京实施道德绑架。另外，虽然“道德绑架”没有专有名词的说法，但这里我们可以联想一下“站在道德制高点来绑架他人”。“道德至高点”是有固定的英文表达的：moral high groundWithin a year, the US had lost the moral high ground.但不出一年，美国就失去了道德高地。利用道德绑架他人，本质是一种网络暴力。那“网络暴力”我们应该如何用英文来表达呢？在英文中，是有关于“网络暴力”的专业释义的：cyber-violence/bully其中，cyber是形容词，指的是“与计算机或网络有关的...”，后面的violence/bully都有“暴力”的意思。It is possible to cyber-bully someone even if they stay at their homes.即使有些人呆在家里，也有可能对别人施加网络暴力。但是话说回来，《长津湖》真心是一部高水平，叫好又叫座的电影。光是看片花，我都已经泪流满面了。Have you seen the movie Battle at Lake Changjin? What do you think about it?I'm looking forward to your post.

Mike and Mr. One Perfect Headshot himself, Alex Rallo tackle Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior, the mega blockbuster franchise that saw Scott's return to China. Scott drops by to talk about working with Wu for the first time. Alex's Twitter China Power Podcast

Natalie and Cherrie discuss the highest grossing movie ever in China's box office - Wolf Warrior 2,  a patriotic action blockbuster. Started as a passion project by director, co-writer, co-producer and Wolf Warrior himself -Wu Jing, the movie's success came as a surprise to him and everyone else. It came at the right time. China's nationalist propaganda is becoming more and more aggressive. Through this movie, we see China's image to its own people, and China through the world's eyes. Aside from many of its flaws and the re-enacting of the white (now Chinese) savior narrative,  we can say that it's a very entertaining movie. Follow along in fictional Africa and see how Wolf Warrior carries China and the world on his shoulders. Let us know what you think!

You could say it was Jackie Chan that first brought together the Manila-based martial arts power couple, Sarah Chang and Vincent Soberano. They first met at the Jackie Chan Stuntman Training Centre; a huge complex in Tianjin, used by people from all over the world to train in the martial arts and make it in the movies. Vincent - a former professional fighter and pioneer of mixed martial arts in China, who helped to train the country's first UFC fighters - helped to design the facility; and in 2016, in walked Sarah Chang - actor, producer, fight choreographer, and five-time USA national wushu team member - training for a role in a movie. While she was there, she befriended the stunt coordinator, Sam Hargrave, who ended up using her to double Celina Jade in Wu Jing's action blockbuster, Wolf Warrior II. Vincent and Sarah connected over their passion for martial arts, and their drive to portray authentic fighting styles in the movies. But it wasn't until their work on the action horror, Blood Hunters - filmed in the Philippines - that the two decided to leave Beijing and move to Manila full-time, where they have since started a family, set up their own production company, and produced a string of films together, as well as working on their own projects. Their other films together include the tournament movie, The Trigonal, and the soon-to-be-released, Circle of Bones. Vincent and Sarah discuss the challenges they face making martial arts films in the Philippines, which is still an uphill struggle despite the international success of similarly 'hyper-local' fight films made elsewhere in Asia. They also share tips on how they are remaining busy (and sane) during the coronavirus lockdown. Blood Hunters: Rise of the Hybrids is out now on digital platforms including Amazon, Vimeo on Demand, FlixFling, Vudu and Fandango, courtesy of DarkCoast.

Cette semaine, le podcast STEROIDS va faire un tour du côté de la Chine pour évoquer le plus gros carton local, à savoir WOLF WARRIOR 2 de et avec Wu Jing. Et autant dire que c’est du gros niveau, question film de bourrins ! Un super guerrier des forces spéciales chinoises tente de retrouver un semblant de paix au coeur de l’Afrique, avant de devoir reprendre du service pour défendre la veuve et l’orphelin. Sur cette trame très simple, Wu Jing (et sa batterie de réalisateurs consultants) brode une suite un peu plus décomplexée que le film original, il faut dire très très mauvais et chiant. Bref, WOLF WARRIOR 2, c’est quand même du bon gros cinéma d’action dégénéré qui n’hésite jamais à en faire des caisses, et ce n’est pas pour déplaire à Yannick Dahan et Stéphane Moïssakis, si on en croit leurs dires dans ce podcast tout aussi Continue Reading

It's Double Feature Time!  Isaac has an uncanny ability to come up with thematic cinema pairings and this episode is the first case we make to the public that displays this power. In 1985, Chuck Norris and Cannon Films gave America the blue jean clad one man army it needed to fight off Russian invaders.  Invasion U.S.A. typified the rouge individualist mentality of a Reagan/Bush America and came out at the height of Mr. Norris' box office powers. One year after Missing in Action and one year before Delta Force. In 2017, Wu Jing produced, starred, wrote and directed Wolf Warrior 2.  While most viewers in the USA are unaware of this film, it made more at the worldwide box office than Thor: Ragnarock, Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 2 and Wonder Woman.  Wu's special forces soldier in exile gave the world a hypermasculine Chinese action hero unlike anything we've seen before.

Jared and Theo are back In the Studio to talk about Wu Jing's sequel to his war action movie, Wolf Warrior. A movie that, funnily enough, was far more critically and fan-praised than its predecessor.0

ESWS 237 - East Screen: WU KONG & WOLF WARRIOR 2 Hong Kong Cinema Podcast Podcast episode 237 - East Screen: WU KONG & WOLF WARRIOR 2 2 On this episode we talk some Busan Festival news, John Woo's MANHUNT and a new cinema report in Hong Kong. Then Kevin takes us through a reimagined Monkey King tale in Derek Kwok's WU KONG [悟空傳] and I take a look at Wu Jing's breakout blockbuster WOLF WARRIOR 2 [戰狼 II ].

Wolf Warriors 2 is the movie sensation of the summer in China, taking in over a record $630 million in box office receipts. The movie is so popular that is now the first non-Hollywood film to ever break in to the top 100 highest grossing releases. Set in a fictitious African country, Wolf Warriors 2 depicts a former Chinese special forces operative in an active war zone to rescue a group of Chinese compatriots and locals from a posse of blood-thirsty Western mercenaries. Marital arts star Wu Jing directed and stars in the movie as the lead character Leng Feng who blows up pretty much everything in his way as he rescues the innocent and kills the bad guys.  Wolf Warriors 2 is more than just an action movie, it also highlights a rising level of patriotic identity in China that now extends internationally. The film's tag line "whoever offends China will be hunted down no matter how far away they are” embodies this new assertive globalist message that China's interests extend far beyond its own borders and that when challenged, Beijing will respond to protect its people and interests overseas. Moviegoers have long been accustomed to watching these kinds of films coming from the United States, whether it's the nationalism portrayed in Top Gun or the lone soldier seeking justice that was the Rambo series, but this is an entirely experience seeing it in distinctly Chinese context. In this edition of the China in Africa Podcast, Eric & Cobus discuss why Wolf Warriror 2 is so important both to understand Chinese popular opinion of Africa but also to gain an insight into a more muscular Chinese worldview. Join the discussion. Have you seen Wolf Warrior 2? If so, what did you think? Exciting? Offensive? A bit of both? Let us know what your opinions.

Hur vill du få dö, om du får välja? Många äldre har ett behov av att prata om döden. Men deras funderingar fångas inte alltid upp av till exempel vårdpersonal. De äldre blir också sällan tillfrågade om sina önskningar inför döden, visar ny forskning. Nu jobbar forskare på konkreta sätt att ta upp de här frågorna med äldre och sjuka. Veckomagasinet tar också upp nya försök med konstgjorda hornhinnor, neandertalarnas mystiska grottaktivitet och träffar forskaren som ger råd till komikerserien Big Bang Theory. Vi träffar också synskadade flöjtisten Wu Jing som får spela i en orkester och känna av dirigenten via ny teknik.Programledare är Lena Nordlund.

With Mike on vacation his week Sean is joined by Seattle Screen Scene writer Melissa Tamminga to discuss Edward Yang's long sought after 1990 epic A Brighter Summer Day, which has just recently been released by the Criterion Collection, and Soi Cheang's action film SPL 2: A Time for Consequences, starring Tony Jaa and Wu Jing, which will be released here in the US as Kill Zone 2 in a couple of weeks. They also pick their essential Violent Youth films, take a look ahead to what's coming soon to Seattle (and Bellingham) Screens and talk about Prince's classic 1984 film Purple Rain.

China's movie market has been expanding for some time now. A year ago, people were feeling slightly regrettable when total annual box office income failed to pass the 30 billion yuan threshold. This year by December 3rd, a 40 billion yuan record has been set and China's home-made movies account for nearly 60% of the total. Above all, China's 3D fantasy adventure film "Monster Hunt" became the country's highest-grossing film in July, beating international box office powerhouse "Furious 7".In the year 2015, China's movie industry not only achieved gratifying income figures, they've also made progress in an all-around manner.First and foremost, infrastructure building continues to generate exciting results, bringing the total number of cinema screens in the country to somewhere near 31,000. Currently the overall attendance rate stays around 15%, but the surplus seats stand ready to accommodate box office explosions, which are happening on a more regular basis in recent years.Most of the new facilities are being built in smaller cities or townships, where a new cinema attracts more moviegoers on average than a new cineplex in downtown Beijing. The increase in their number is also tipping the balance in China's movie market. While previously the urban dwellers footed almost all the bills, now small town young adults are empowered to change the way movies are made in this country.A typical example is how youth-centric stories are giving way to comedies. Suddenly China's storywriters have waken up to the possibility that maybe in the small cities, not every young man has lost the love of his life when the girl immigrate to a foreign country, and not every woman can bask in the favor of her young, handsome billionaire of a boss - when that does happen it is usually a middle-aged man, short and rotund and married with kids. Petty sentiment and fake melancholy have no currency among the small city dwellers, who simply want to enjoy some hearty laugher after a day's hard work.For that reason, comedy is the safest of all genres in which filmmakers are willing to invest their resources. Actor-turned-director Xu Zheng, who has kept impeccable track records in both roles, staged an ambitious comeback in "Lost in Hong Kong," which made the list of Top 3 earners, despite fierce competition from another comedy film and this year's No. 5 earner "Goodbye Mr. Loser."The favor of small town young adults propelled more titles to make headlines which otherwise could have remained obscure among the hundreds of low-budget stories cobbled up by amateur filmmakers. Chief among them is "Wolf Warriors," directed by actor Wu Jing. Mr. Wu is a talented martial artist and has a face not half bad, somehow his career as an actor never seem to take off. His first film in the director's chair depicts a hunt for foreign spies and features note-worthy action sequences, but the film's undisguised demonstration of patriotism follows the narrative of the past century. The stylish young men loitering in Beijing's Sanlitun will frown upon it, but they couldn't stop the film from causing a moderately big bang in the market.The potential and appetite of small town young adults therefore appeared on the radar of Chinese filmmakers, who didn't bother to figure out what this sizable group of consumers want the most. Their standard approach is to build on something that has already stood the test. "Dior's Man" is a popular show inspired by Germany sketch comedy "Knallerfrauen" and is streamed exclusively on China's video portals. Despite content that some may consider vulgar, it is nonetheless a well executed and creative show. So when the same crew came up with a film project "Jian Bing Man," they rocked the market by grossing more than 1.1 billion yuan.The source of inspiration is not limited to video content. Best-selling cartoon novel "Go Away Mr. Tumor" about a cartoonist's fight against cancer has warmed many hearts over the years, now a movie of the same name has been made starring actress Bai Baihe and actor Daniel Wu. Strictly speaking, the engineered story is not perfect, but it carries every bit of the late cartoonist's creative genius and optimistic spirit and should be considered a worthy tribute to the girl who offered a valuable message to every willing listener.Perhaps the most convincing example is to be found in the novel "Ghost Blows out the Light," a story about tomb-raiders so popular among Chinese internet users that two film adaptations have been made and screened this year. "Mojin - The Lost Legend" premiered in late December and is still going strong in the box office towards the end of the year. This adaptation boasts an A-list cast and spectacular setting that recreates the mysterious atmosphere described in the original story. While this adaption by Director Wuershan is considered the more successful of the two in narrative and in box office income, Director Lu Chuan's interpretation is more monumental in a different sense.Indeed, Lu Chuan's "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" represents the highest grade of visual effect in Chinese films, up to the standard of Hollywood blockbuster films. The long shots bring up the striking beauty of a desert setting, much like "Mad Max: Fury Road." And the animated beasts would have been even more "flawless" if only the actors and actresses he hired were less green.The level of visually enhanced spectacle in "Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe" is only matched by that in Tsui Hark's "The Taking of Tiger Mountain," where a Chinese soldier in the 1940s braved the same amount of make-believe bullets and explosions as Steve Rogers in Marvel's Captain America. Behold, it is China's own superhero story!And we have to talk about the animation film "Monkey King: Hero is back" when we talk about special effects. This tight-budget animation was only possible to achieve a 956 million yuan income because director Tian Xiaopeng insisted on quality control. Throughout the meagerly-funded seven-year project many crew members turned their backs and walked away, but the director's persistence led to the birth of the best Chinese animation film in decades. Many moviegoers, overwhelmed by its lively imagery, volunteered to promote the film in their friendly circles, but its portrayal of a fierce warrior who has it powers in check is the most impressive interpretation of the classic text.But the year 2015 is not just about the small city young adults, the market demand and the box office ranking. Filmmakers focused on expressing their own ideas are also getting their voices heard. Taiwan director Hou Hsiao-hsien's martial arts film “The Assassin” was honored with a Best Director title at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival. His efforts created a chance for willing viewers to live a story written by Tang Dynasty novelists. There is no way of knowing if the film speaks the truth about Tang Dynasty people's lives, but it certainly feels like reading the novels.Another director devoted to self-expression is Jia Zhangke, who seems quite obsessed with the place he was born, most of his stories happen in a small town named Fenyang in Central China's Shanxi Province. In "Mountains May Depart," Mr. Jia ventured outside his familiar territory into a wider space-time reality and sought to capture the unspeakable loneliness that haunts people unblessed with love. Jia's command of every single element in his narrative is unmatched by hardly any of his Chinese peers, but his step outside familiar terrain did not land as smoothly as one would expect from someone of his talent and calibre.The last entry is my personal favorite. "The Master" is Xu Haofeng's third attempt at self-expression. The lost world of martial artists is a recurring theme in Xu Haofeng's stories, Wang Kar Wai tried to adapt it in "The Grand Master" and ended up showing off his cinematographer's skills, Chen Kaige tried to adapt it in "Monk Comes Down the Mountain" and ended up discrediting himself and his cast members, no one understands the quaint mindset of Xu Haofeng's characters better than Xu Haofeng himself, and this time he's learnt some new tricks to avoid boring his viewers. The realist fighting style and snappy pacing proved an effective formula on modern moviegoers.Movies such as "The Assassin," "Mountains May Depart" and "The Master" don't get a lot of time slots in the schedule books, because they are much too quiet to induce laughter. A pessimist would loath the dominance of small town young adults and a rampant profit-seeking culture in the movie industry, but in 2015 Chinese filmmakers have come a long way to improve their products in various aspects, in time the viewers will surely follow suit and cultivate their own tastes, we only need to take it one step at a time.

So if we know those three, the Chinese must know a lot more, right?Well, while they could maybe add Donnie Yen, Wu Jing, and Kung Fu Panda to the list, when it comes to Beijingers busting a few Kung Fu moves, forget it! That's definitely a myth.According to legend, Chinese martial arts originated over 4000 years ago. One of the earliest mentions of Shaolin Kung Fu is from the 7th century when it was used to defend the Shaolin Monastery.Today, many forms of Chinese Kung Fu are based on northern and southern styles, the first emphasizing powerful kicks and jumps and the second arm strength and fancy footwork.

Director Cheang Pou-soi and writer Jill Leung weave an elaborate labyrinth of multiple narratives to paint a bleak picture of a dog-eat-dog underworld in "SPL2: A Time for Consequences." At times hard to stomach but mostly riveting, the action thriller offers a wide range of spectacular imagery culminating in the clash of top martial artists from Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Thailand.For a film that boasts an international cast and setting, SPL2 exhibits an exceptionally indigenous Chinese flavour. An undercover policeman struggling with drug addiction, a prison guard with a leukaemia-afflicted daughter, a ruthless organ trafficker in dire need of a heart replacement, everyone is somehow connected in an enclosed community of "Jianghu," where extraordinary personalities find no escape from their destiny.Thailand action star Tony Jaa plays the loving father and prison guard. His quest to locate a bone marrow donor for his ailing daughter coincides with disturbing developments at his workplace. At one point the cure is close at hand, but little does he know he will need to risk his own life for his daughter's salvation. In SPL2 Tony Jaa's uncommon moves constitute an eye opener for Chinese viewers.Mainland Chinese Kung Fu star Wu Jing found a career breakthrough after his adventurous investment in "Wolf Warriors" turned out in his favour. His extended exposure here as an undercover police fighting for redemption greatly boosts his presence and may even propel him into super-stardom. His technique merges the styles of Jet Li and Donnie Yen which is at the same time expressive and realistic.Perhaps the biggest winner is Chinese actor Zhang Jin, who won the Best Supporting Actor at the 33rd Hong Kong Film Awards for his role in Wong Kar Wai's martial arts drama "The Grandmaster." Here he appears as a prison warden awaiting retribution, whose immaculate wardrobe matches his simple, slashing moves. With a face as fair as a modern office worker and adequate acting skills, Zhang could pose a serious challenge to Wu Jing's ascension, what he needs is the versatility to adapt his styles to the fleeting tastes of Chinese Kung Fu fans.Surely the actors also owe their success to writer Jill Leung and action director Li Chung-chi who arrange multiple occasions for them to showcase their skills. From gun fight to prison riot to slaughterhouse rampage or simple one-on-one duels, the action stars collide, change sides, form new alliances and collide again, creating impressive spectacles on all scales.More impressive is the use of parallel narrative. Many key developments in the story are often screened simultaneously to heighten the sense of destiny and/or irony, which in itself is a powerful tool to glue together the numerous episodes of fighting scenes.Despite the artistic failure in 2014 fantasy film "The Monkey King," director Cheang Pou-soi is well known for the distinctly dark and hopeless mood in his previous movies. In "SPL2: A Time for Consequences" he offers a pessimism of the most ambitious kind that trumps the unaccountable heroism in a "Transformers" movie, although his unique traits are still all over the piece to infect sensitive viewers.
