Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung and Jackie Chan are headed to Barcelona, Spain in the 1984 action-comedy spectacular WHEELS ON MEALS, featuring Jackie and Yuen as food truck operators and Sammo as a hapless detective. Of course, we also get a pickpocket damsel in distress (Lola Forner), shenanigans in a mental hospital, car chases, foot chases and one of the best martial arts fights EVER between Jackie and kickboxer Benny "The Jet" Urquidez. We dive into the background and even spend some time chatting about Jackie Chan VIDEO GAMES. Lots to discuss, so let's get to it!

For the second of our four live podcasts - co-hosted by the 'Life of Action' author, Mike Fury - we welcome back the British stunt coordinator and former Hong Kong stuntman, Jude Poyer. Jude's first appearance was on Episode 48 back in 2019. Now, in 2025, he is the action director behind Xavier Gens' violent French brawler, 'Farang' (aka 'Mayhem!'), and Gareth Evans' lauded co-collaborator, having worked with 'The Raid' director on his landmark UK crime series, 'Gangs of London', and the eagerly-awaited Netflix production, 'Havoc', starring Tom Hardy. In this wide-ranging conversation, Jude unveils his secret to coordinating a great action sequence, what it feels like to be kicked in the face by Yuen Biao, the difference between working in Hong Kong and the UK, and why he thinks Gareth Evans might be one of the best action filmmakers working in the industry today.This episode was recorded live at the Ultimate Picture Palace in Oxford, UK, on 12 November 2024, following a screening of the crazy Hong Kong superhero film, 'The Heroic Trio' (1993), directed by Johnnie To, produced by Tony Ching Siu-tung, and starring Michelle Yeoh, Anita Mui and Maggie Cheung. Screening as part of the British Film Institute's Art of Action season - in association with the Independent Cinema Office and Film Hub South East - we also discuss the film and its impact, as well as sharing our thoughts on the lasting legacy of the 'golden age' of Hong Kong action cinema.LINKSJude Poyer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reelpowerstunts/Jude Poyer on X: https://twitter.com/ReelPowerStuntsJude Poyer on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReelPowerStuntsJude Poyer's website: http://www.reelpowerstunts.com/ Jude Poyer on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0694706/Jude Poyer on Kung Fu Movie Guide Podcast, Episode 48: http://kungfumovieguide.com/kfmg-podcast-s04-episode-48-jude-poyer/ Mike Fury on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/themikefury/Mike Fury's website: https://www.mikefury.net/'The Heroic Trio' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: http://kungfumovieguide.com/the-heroic-trio/ 'The Heroic Trio' trailer: https://youtu.be/zhrYrExHi2s Buy 'The Heroic Trio' on Blu-ray: https://www.criterion.com/boxsets/7155-the-heroic-trio-executionersVisit the Ultimate Picture Palace in Oxford: https://uppcinema.com/ Learn more about the BFI's Art of Action season: https://www.bfi.org.uk/art-actionA huge thank you to Independent Cinema Office (https://www.independentcinemaoffice.org.uk/) and Film Hub South East (https://www.independentcinemaoffice.org.uk/film-hub-south-east/) Hosted on Acast.

A seismic shift in Hong Kong filmmaking occurs on this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS with the release of the legendary action-comedy PROJECT A in 1983. Directed by (and - of course - starring) Jackie Chan, alongside his Peking Opera classmates Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, it's a raucous, often hilarious and stunt filled thrill ride packed with pirates, pratfalls and one infamous fall from a clock tower that has to be seen to be believed. It changed filmmaking forever and sent Jackie's already ascending star into the stratosphere. But does it hold up? Let's check it out! The post Episode 251 – We Do Our Own Stunts – Project A (1983) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Dragons Forever (Chinese: 飛龍猛將) is a 1988 Hong Kong martial arts action comedy film directed by Sammo Hung, who also starred in the film, and co-directed by Corey Yuen. The film co-stars Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Pauline Yeung, Deannie Yip, Yuen Wah, Roy Chiao, and Crystal Kwok. It is the last film in which Hung, Chan and Biao all appeared in together, as later Chan subsequently focused on his solo film career.[3] In the film, a lawyer is hired to discover information that would destroy a fishery owner's reputation, and undermine her legal case against a chemical factory. The lawyer employs two agents to help his cause without informing them of their respective roles in the scheme, resulting in hostile relationships between the agents. The lawyer and his agents turn against their employers when they learn that the factory is a front for the production of narcotics. That's just from Wikipedia cuz I'm in a rush.

CUT THE CRAP! We're post-American excursion and post-Lo Wei scraps and things are about to POP OFF with the first of the Five Lucky Stars series WINNERS & SINNERS starring Sammo Hung, Richard Ng, Charlie Chin, Stanley Fung and John Shum. Oh, and Jackie Chan is here as well, reconnecting with his "big brother" (and Yuen Biao in a tiny part) for the first time in years and transitioning to martial arts/comedy hybrids with higher production values and bigger stunts. This one might lean a bit TOO heavily on the comedy, but you get roller skating stunts, car stunts, and some dynamite action to whet your appetite for what's to come. Enjoy!  The post Episode 241 – We Do Our Own Stunts – Winners & Sinners (1983) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

Ben and Kevin are back with another episode of The Searchers podcast, and they're returning to the Jackie Chan well and finally covering a Jackie Chan movie. If you've been following the pod, you know these two love Jackie and his movies, especially the ones from the 80s. Wheels on Meals (1984) happens to be one of their favorites, so prepare yourself for a kick-ass episode on everything Jackie, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. The Searchers settle which dub of the movie you should be watching first with a detailed look at the music tracks on each version. Kevin spills the beans with a first-time-told story about how he saw Sammo in real life. Also, two big announcements up front. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed making it.

Knockabout (1979) synopsis: “Two brothers and small time crooks Yipao and Taipao convince a martial arts expert to take them on as students, completely oblivious to his sordid past.”Starring: Yuen Biao, Ka-Yan Leung, Chia-Yung Liu, and Karl MakaDirector: Sammo HungThis week on Podcasting After Dark, Zak and Corey review the kung-fu cult classic, Knockabout! A truly jaw-dropping piece of cinema from the mind of Sammo Hung, and it's Yuen Biao's first leading role. Also, Knockabout is Zak and Corey's first true “karate man” movie on PAD, as Eddie Murphy would say in Trading Places lol! I mean, yes, they covered Hard Target and Cyborg, but this is on a whole other level, martial arts wise.A huge THANK YOU to Paulette for selecting Knockabout for us to review via our Patreon page!

Una vez más nos juntamos frente a los micros, en un “Lunes de Videoclub”, para desgranar y analizar una película de las que vale muy mucho la pena rescatar de la estantería de los 80. “Los Supercamorristas” (1984) es una coproducción entre España y China, rodada en Barcelona, y protagonizada, entre otros, por un jovencísimo Jackie Chan, bajo la dirección de su colega Sammo Hung y con la aparición de algunos rostros españoles tan curiosos como Pepe Sancho o Lola Forner. Interpretaciones exageradas, bromas toscas y burdas, slapstick, ambientes urbanos y decorados exóticos, un guion deslavazado, persecuciones trepidantes, mamporros y piruetas, una sexualidad casi naif y unas coreografías apabullantes, dan como resultado un explosivo cóctel Molotov que, a día de hoy, sigue teniendo alguna de las escenas de lucha mejor consideradas de la historia. Y no es una exageración. Y es que Benny Urquídez y Keith Vitali fueron unos rivales algo más que dignos para “los tres dragones” (Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan y Yuen Biao), repartiendo leches tan bien como las encajaron. En esta tarde-noche de lunes, contextualizamos esta película, situándola en la Barcelona de la época, analizamos la trayectoria de este variopinto y maravilloso grupo conocido como Lucky Stars, desde sus inicios en la escuela de ópera de Honk Kong, y nos divertimos recordando algunas escenas y anécdotas de rodaje. “Los Supercamorristas” tuvo un tremendo éxito en su momento, y originó que en España se nombraran a otras producciones del mismo trío protagonista, como “secuelas” apócrifas, sin tener nada que ver con la original. A pesar de ello, hoy día se considera una película “menor” en diferentes círculos, por lo que es de justicia reivindicarla y volver a visionarla. Así, aunque se le puede achacar un cierto regusto añejo o incluso un toque casi ridículo en algunos gags, alejados de nuestro estilo de humor occidental, desde luego nadie puede negar que es una película para disfrutar. Para desarrollar todos estos temas contamos, una vez más, con la inestimable ayuda de alguien que no sólo comparte nuestra afición por la película, sino que incluso la vive, literalmente, pues habita cerca de algunas de las localizaciones usadas en el film. Por supuesto, nos referimos a Israel Gordon, podcaster amigo y cinéfilo de armas tomar. Y es que su pericia era imprescindible para encauzar la alocada verborrea de mono borracho a la sombra de un platanero azul que padece en ocasiones Óscar Cabrera. Por su parte, Juan Pablo Molina, coreógrafo experto de las ondas, que realiza fintas y volteretas increíbles, micrófono en mano, dirige este programa. Esperamos que sea de vuestro agrado, queridos remakers, y que nos dejéis algunos comentarios y opiniones en redes.

It's the ancient and the contemporary. The traditional and the modern. The ultimate representation of good vs. evil. When two warriors from the Ming dynasty are catapulted 300 years into the future- one a righteous man of honor, the other a sociopathic predator- they must navigate a present day Hong Kong, while simultaneously trying to find their way back to the past. With a stoic leading man performance from genre favorite Yuen Biao, and an absolutely terrifying villainous turn from Yuen Wah, ‘The Iceman Cometh' is an entertaining, genre-melding entry from the golden era of 1980's Hong Kong cinema. With hints of classic martial arts cinema, as well as a Neo-noir landscape reminiscent of techno thrillers of the era, this unique picture manages to overcome some of its narrative shortcomings through its stunning visuals. Throw in a great supporting performance from the always lovely Maggie Cheung, and ‘The Iceman Cometh' delivers on all fronts! If you prefer to see our lovely faces, the YouTube video for the episode will be out Friday! Don't forget to subscribe, download, like, and share with your friends!

Summer break is over, and kids are going back to school. On this week's episode of The Searchers, we review Painted Faces which is about children going to a very different and difficult school in Hong Kong during the 1960s to train for Peking Opera. Those children included Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, and Yuen Biao. After covering Jackie Chan on episode 2 of the podcast, we're excited to finally be making our way back to Hong Kong cinema with this one. The first couple minutes is an interview clip of Sammo Hung talking about how he ended up at a Peking Opera school. Submit your mailbags to us at thesearcherspodcast@gmail.com. Please rate us a 5/5, and review us on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen to us. Thank you! If you did in the past month, we'll address on the next episode... Follow us on Letterboxd.com if you'd like to see what we've recently watched and to read our individual movie reviews!

The criminally unknown film, Dreadnaught, is one of Master Yuen Woo Ping's most underrated films. An ensemble cast with a young Yuen Biao taking the everyman role, everyone from Bryan Leung's Foon to Yuen Shun-Yi's truly unhinged villain White Tiger just chew up every scene they're in.The legendary Kwan Tak-Hing's Wong Fei Hung delights in all the right ways and very wisely and sparingly used for great effect, around which the simmering slasher type thriller on the loose story revolves.The film is liberally sprinkled with incredible fight scenes from fun to life threatening and characters who are genuinely funny, loveable and loathsome. If you've seen it you already know, if you're a fan of golden age martial arts cinema and you haven't then do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this film, epic romp!

“THEY ARE THE BAD GUYS, WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS. UNDERSTAND?“On this week's episode of Retro Grade Podcast, we talk about a film from a genre we have never covered before. We talk about the 1983 Hong Kong Wuxia classic Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain, directed by Hong Kong New Wave filmmaker Tsui Hark, starring Yuen Biao, Adam Cheng, Corey Yuen, Brigitte Lin, Moon Lee, Damian Lau, Mang Hoi, and Sammo Hung. We begin by talking about the story, breaking it down by what we thought of the characters, comedy, the philosophy depicted by the use of the Dual Swords, and whether there can be a connection between the story on screen with the real-life history of Hong Kong under rule of differing governments and how the film can be interpreted as a call for unity. We talk about the depiction of the elders and masters in the film, and how their inability to enact real change has thrown the world into conflict that the new generation must find a resolution for. From there we get into the technical side of the film, from it's impressive use of wire work during the fight scenes, to the in-camera techniques that were used to achieve the amazing choreography, to the film's very dated visual effects (though ambitious may not have aged as well.) But the film's editing becomes a larger focus in the episode, breaking down how the fast-paced editing helps the film, but also might be hindering it when compared to other wuxia films. Lastly, we go into the multiple versions that exist of the film, calling into question whether Tsui Hark ever got the version of the film he wanted. We breakdown the elements that go into a wuxia film, and how well Zu Warriors follows it, and go briefly go into the history of the Hong Kong New Wave cinema, and how Zu Warriors was a huge success for the movement but also a source of inspiration for future filmmakers. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this special episode of Retro Grade Podcast!Music is from Triune Digital and audio clips pulled from movies we will be reviewing in other episodes.Artwork by @jannelle_o

Not only that, it was a rare first time viewing for the both of us! I am talking about the 1990 action epic, ‘Licence to Steal.'

With fist fights galore, cat and mouse games of master thieves, and an eclectic cast of characters that have to be seen to be believed, this movie has a little something for everyone to enjoy! With a highly captivating opening Kendo battle, and not one, but TWO jaw-dropping final fight scenes, this one will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish! We want to thank the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures for putting on this amazing evening of films as part of their moth long tribute to Sammo Hung!

On a landmark episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS, Jackie Chan has signed a huge contract with Golden Harvest which promises creative and financial freedom, and he kicks things off with the 1980 kung-fu comedy THE YOUNG MASTER! While at the same time his old boss Lo Wei wants his now-bankable star back and is willing to work with Triads to make it happen. UH OH! It's a perilous time in Jackie's career and will soon push him off to America for a while, but in the meantime we can enjoy this enormously entertaining, fight-filled film which features Yuen Biao, Tuen Fend, Hwang In-Shik, and Shih Kien! CHECK IT OUT! The post Episode 171 – We Do Our Own Stunts – The Young Master (1980) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

In honour of the great Richard Ng, we dive in to one of his most popular roles as Sandy in Sammo Hung's sketchy 1985 comedy, Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Stars. Richard's trademark expressive face and physical comedy are sprinkled throughout this uneven action comedy. With more stars than the milky way, it somehow still delivers on all fronts for kinetic action putting behemoths Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, Dick Wei, Andy Lau, Richard Norton, Yasuaki Kurata, Chung Fat, Sibelle Hu and many others in wonderfully choreographed and intricate fight scenes against their respective stunt teams, who also probably saw many stars with the head shots they took.Featuring what has to be the most star-studded cameo laden closing scene in Hong Kong movie history (George Lam?! David Chiang?!) this 80's time capsule film is worth tracking down for the nostalgia hit alone. Grab a pizza and a beverage and dig in!

"Yuen Biao plays Jason Chan, a lawyer angry at the way the law seems to protect the bad guys. He decides to take the law into his own hands when a key witness and his entire family are murdered. But Cindy Si is soon on his case and it all spirals into a situation only a few will survive."

Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao are back together in 1984's "Wheels on Meals" Carbarpodcast.com 

New episode alert and our first entry of 2023! This week we are tackling one of the greatest martial arts films of all time- ‘Dragons Forever'! Starring the three dragons (Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung & Yuen Biao) this was the final film the Kung Fu trinity would appear in together, after nearly a decade of highly successful collaborations under the Golden Harvest banner. Directed by Sammo Hung and legendary fight choreographer Cory Yuen, this fight-filled, fantastic, ferocious fest of feet and fists features some of the greatest fight sequences ever filmed! With Jackie Chan vs. Benny “the Jet” part deux, a comical scuffle between the dragon trio themselves, and a finale that has to be seen to be believed, ‘Dragons Forever' puts itself up there as one of the most fun and highly energetic pieces of Hong Kong cinema to ever be produced. Listen in as Gavin and I deep dive into our personal experiences with the film, what makes us come back to it again and again, and why we think you should all go out and get yourself a copy of this film ASAP- particularly the 88 Films special edition blu-ray! Don't forget to subscribe, download, and share with your friends! Thanks again for the continued support and we hope you enjoy! Happy New Year and here is to a prosperous and peaceful 2023!

In this week's episode, Devan, Cyrus and I right some wrongs and watch Yuen Biao's modern classic. We discuss the infamous stunt doubles, Cyrus admits that Cynthia Rothrock could take him in the fight and we posit that maybe this film would be better without Corey Yuen on screen. Later we discuss all manner of listener questions but we tackle the toughest one we've ever had: "What makes a Christmas film a Christmas film?" Cyrus also ponders what he'd do if Devan and I approached him about some bedroom shenanigans. Things get wild.

Elwood and Stephen look at the Jackie Chan classic Wheels on Meals as he once more teams up with Yuen Biao as friends operating a food fan in Barcelona only to find themselves mixed up with a profession thief Sylvia while being assisted by Sammo Hung's private detective Moby as the trio soon find themselves pitted against a ruthless gang. We also look at the legendry showdown against Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, the incredible stunt work and fight sequences aswell as were it charts in Chan's legacy.

It was a screening of 1972's 'Five Fingers of Death' (aka 'King Boxer') that would transform the life of Robert "Bobby" Samuels. At that time, he could not have foreseen that he would go on to become the first African American member of the Hong Kong Stuntman Association, a star of martial arts action cinema, a Hung Gar expert training under kung fu master and actor, Chiu Chi-ling, and a close personal friend of Sammo Hung - one of the biggest names in kung fu movies. Bobby's story is one of dogged determination and commitment to a singular vision; to break free from his humble beginnings in West Philadelphia, USA, and launch himself onto the silver screen in Hong Kong. All roads lead to a fateful meeting with Sammo Hung in the early 1990s, and prominent roles in his films 'The Gambling Ghost' (1991) and 'Don't Give a Damn' (1995) followed. The two developed a close personal friendship, one that continues to this day. On this episode, we discuss Bobby's experiences of living with Sammo and his family, collaborating on his films, and working with the best in the business at the height of their powers - people like Yuen Biao, Lam Ching-ying, Yuen Woo-ping, Collin Chou, and many more. Since returning to the USA, Bobby can increasingly be found behind the camera as a director and producer, helping to inspire and promote the next generation of action stars. In 2021, he made his feature film directorial debut with the action comedy, 'Made in Chinatown', starring members of the cast of 'The Sopranos', and co-directing with the Hollywood stunt legend, James Lew. The film is available now to rent and buy on digital platforms.LINKSRobert Samuels on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samuels_rRobert Samuels on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertbobbysamuelsRobert Samuels on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0760512/Robert Samuels profile on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/RobertSamuelsProfile'Made in Chinatown' trailer on YouTube: https://youtu.be/Q4n4U9a_qK8'Made in Chinatown' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/MadeInChinatown2021'Shadow Fist' short film on YouTube: https://youtu.be/v4tZdwssIBs'Shadow Fist II' short film on YouTube: https://youtu.be/9yNgHg4xK90'Jugando Con Fuego' short film on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gkURqr5fRLg'The Gambling Ghost' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/TheGamblingGhost1991'The Red Wolf' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/TheRedWolf1995'Don't Give a Damn' review on Kung Fu Movie Guide: http://bit.ly/DontGiveADamn95TAKE PART IN OUR 2022 END OF YEAR SHOWTell us your favourite fight films of the year - and why - and your comment could be read out on our annual End of Year Show, landing during the week of Christmas and featuring the action movie expert, Mike Fury.

As a powerlifting champion, three-time ‘Miss Fitness' winner in Japan and an action film star, Michiko Nishiwaki has been on quite a journey. When she left school to start working in human resources for the Mitsubishi bank in the 1970s, her life goals were similar to many other Japanese women in her position; to find a husband and have children. But for Michiko - obsessed with gymnastics, karate, fitness, singing and the arts from an early age - she decided to take a different path. Following her brother into the fitness industry, she became a gym owner in Japan and a pioneer in women's bodybuilding. At the height of her fame in the 1980s, she used her celebrity to break taboos, confronting the traditional image of women as the ‘weaker' sex in Japanese society, and using film and television to promote the health benefits of weight-training. Her fame caught the attention of Golden Harvest in Hong Kong, who invited her to make her big-screen debut in the 1985 action comedy, My Lucky Stars, alongside Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao. A career as a Hong Kong martial arts star beckoned, mostly portraying evil Japanese gangsters in an array of wild, ‘girls with guns' action movies. In the late 1990s, she relocated to Hollywood, becoming a stunt performer in films like Charlie's Angels, Rush Hour 2 and Kill Bill, and doubling for the likes of Lucy Liu, Kelly Hu and Zhang Ziyi. Now, aged 64, she is making a comeback after over a decade away from the industry, working as Michelle Yeoh's stand-in for the bonkers 2021 smash hit, Everything Everywhere All at Once. As she approaches her film career with a renewed focus, what does the next chapter in Michiko's already incredible and multifaceted career look like? A huge thank you to Sally Hinata for arranging this conversation.LINKSMichiko Nishiwaki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michikodb/Michiko Nishiwaki podcast page: https://bit.ly/KFMGPodMichikoNishiwakiMichiko Nishiwaki profile on Kung Fu Movie Guide: https://bit.ly/ProfileMichikoNishiwakiMichiko Nishiwaki on IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0632811/'Everything Everywhere All at Once' - Kung Fu Movie Guide review: https://bit.ly/EEAAO2022'Everything Everywhere All at Once' trailer: https://youtu.be/wxN1T1uxQ2g'My Lucky Stars' fight scene: https://youtu.be/IVJY2L4M54c'God of Gamblers' dice scene: https://youtu.be/o2Y1Q8Go7HsMomoe Yamaguchi sings 'Cosmos' on Japanese television in 1977: https://youtu.be/9P-ePLE4t3Y'Devil Hunters' stunt goes wrong, featuring Moon Lee and Sibelle Hu: https://youtu.be/7m90uRyGDi4 Michiko interview on Japanese television in 1983: https://youtu.be/TxqmpkWvUuU Hosted on Acast.

This week, it's a transitional film for Michelle Yeoh - she gets her very first action scene in a quick cameo in the third film of Sammo Hung's highly successful LUCKY STARS series! This one's called TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LUCKY STARS and features iconic performers like Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, and Andy Lau among its cast. Are the stellar action scenes enough to get us to power through the film's pretty icky sexual politics? Well, it's time to find out!

Righting Wrongs (1986) is also known as Above the Law in the states and if you've seen this before you might have seen it with a vastly different ending. We watched the original Hong Kong version and well… it is DARK. Yuen Biao is a prosecutor frustrated with the system so he starts whipping ass… Continue Reading BMFcast551 – Righting Wrongs – Power of Attorney The post BMFcast551 – Righting Wrongs – Power of Attorney first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

There's only one real way to cap off Yuen Biao month.

In episode 44, Kaleb and Amber dive into the career of the legendary Yuen Biao and discuss his first leading role with Knockabout!

Yuen Biao, Sammo Hung, and Corey Yuen star in this hyper-kinetic supernatural comedy, Zu Warriors From the Magic Mountain, a special effects laden wuxia film from Hong Kong director Tsui Hark about an ordinary Chinese solider who, after stumbling into a world of fantastical supernatural battles between the forces of good and evil, must embark on a quest to save the universe.     Timestamps: [00:00] Films we've been watching, Chainsaw Man, Shenmue the Animation, Anno's Shin Ultraman Trailer [49:05] Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain Review [2:15:38] Twitter Questions

Normalerweise ist Recht und Argumentationsgewalt ihre Waffe, doch in "Tage des Terrors" und "Action Hunter" legen die Anwälte Yuen Biao und Jackie Chan Gesetzbuch und Robe nieder und lassen die Fäuste donnern und die Füße nachdrücklich sprechen. Tatkräftige Unterstützung erhalten Sie dabei vor allem von Sammo Hung und der unvergleichlichen Cynthia Rothrock. Zweimal feinste Action aus der goldenen Zeit des Hongkong-Kinos, einmal dramatisch, einmal eher heiter erzählt. Um das außergesetzliche Treiben der kampfstarken Anwälte angemessen verhandeln zu können, hat sich das Verteidigungsteam aus Sergej und Martin kundige Verstärkung geholt: Lucas Barwenczik - bekannt aus Podcasts wie "Cuts" oder seinem eigenen Projekt "Longtake". --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Folgt uns auf Twitter: https://twitter.com/nachtprogrammpc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nachtprogrammpc Sergejs Letterbox https://letterboxd.com/SirJaySaeba/ Und besucht: https://www.actionfreunde.de/ https://liquid-love.de/forum/ Music Intro: https://www.purple-planet.com Weitere Soundeffekte: Timo Heidl https://pfalzbote.de/musikproduktion/

 Download the episode here!Welcome to Heroes Three! This week we take a look at Bruce Lee's influence on interactive media. Bruce Lee in video Games!Find us online - https://linktr.ee/Heroes3PodcastCheck out some H3 art and merch! - https://www.teepublic.com/user/kf_carlitoBruce Lee in Video Games, the Blogpost! Part 1 - The 80'sSince video games are such a visual medium we wanted to put together a visual companion to go along with this episode. Bruce Lee in video games goes pretty far back and even today we are seeing not only characters influenced by him but also official collaborations like in the 6 million+ player base battle royale game Naraka: Bladepoint.Let's take you through an overview of Bruce Lee in interactive media, starting in the early 1980's.1984 - Bruce Lee - Datasoft - Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, BBC Micro, C64, IBM PC, MSX, PC-88, ZX SpectrumIn this screen to screen platformer you control Bruce Lee as he explores a "wizard's tower, seeking to claim infinite wealth and the secret to immortality". Crude as it may be, I can see how someone who grew up with this game could hold some fondness for it. So many modern indie games share elements of exploration similar to this. Bruce Lee C64 Longplay by DerSchmu1984 - Yie Ar Kung-Fu - Konami - Arcade, MSX, Famicom/NES, ZX Spectrum, C64, Amstrad CPC, BBC Micro, Acorn ElectronOne, two, kung-fu! This proto-fighting game from Konami puts you in the role of Oolong, a kung-fu master, fighting his way through opponents to win the title of "Grand Master". In home ports of the game, the main character's name is Lee. The final enemy you face is named "Blues", possibly a mistranslation, deliberate or accidental, of Bruce.MSX box art for Yie Ar Kung-Fu IIThe Famicom artwork is also pretty fun!1984 - Kung-Fu Master - Irem(Arcade) Nintendo (Famicom/NES)An interesting case with some fun facts for martial arts cinema fans and video game fans alike. Kung-Fu Master was developed by Irem and designed by Takashi Nishiyama, creator of Moon Patrol, and later Street Fighter for Capcom, and Fatal Fury for SNK."Stop eating and use both hands." Thus, the Hadouken was born.Kung-Fu Master was conceptually based on Bruce Lee's Game of Death. Similar to the film, you would travel up levels of a tower, facing different enemies along the way. On release the game was based on one of our favorites here at Heroes Three, 1984's Wheels on Meals aka Spartan X in Japan, starring the trio, Jackie, Sammo, and Yuen Biao.You play as Thomas, making your way through a selection of enemies to save Sylvia at the top of the tower. Outside of the names there really isn't a resemblance to the food service Spanish mayhem in Wheels on Meals. The NES version was ported by Nintendo themselves and I feel that it's probably the more iconic of the many versions available. Koji Kondo, legendary composer of Super Mario and Zelda among others, handled the music for this version.1987 - China Warrior - Hudson - TurboGrafx-16/PC-EngineChina Warrior, known in Japan as The Kung Fu follows in the footsteps of Kung-Fu, but supersizes everything. The sprites are BIG, and the environments are more varied, but in the end I feel that it loses something compared to good ol' Thomas and his power walking. Some nice tunes tho, and you get a Jackie analogue and a Beggar So in the mix.1987/88 - Double Dragon - Technos JapanAlthough visually I'd say that Double Dragon is more along the lines of Fist of the North Star, it is spiritually directly inspired by Bruce Lee, and more specifically Enter the Dragon. The leads, Jimmy and Billy Lee, are named after Bruce. Not only that, members of the Black Warriors gang are also named after characters from the film. Roper, Williams, even Abobo is in reference to Bolo Yeung!Straight from the source, Double Dragon graphic designer Koji Ogata.Later on in the series some games would fall under the supervision of game planner and self professed Bruce Lee fan, Muneki Ebinuma. He injected an extra amount of Bruce Lee flavor into his games.1989 - Bruce Lee Lives - The Software Toolworks - MS-DOSThis unfortunately titled PC game puts you in the shoes of the man himself. Another single player fighting game, you are defending the Hong Kong Palace from Master Po and his thugs. This game apparently has a vicious AI that adjusts to your gameplay. When you die you get treated to a rather tasteless newspaper headline.This takes us to the end of the 80's, and we're a bit long here so I'll end this post on that high note, haha.Next blog post I will share some of my favorite fighting game tributes to Bruce Lee as we step into the 90's and beyond. Our podcast episode covers everything so if you'd like to be spoiled please enjoy it! Thank you for reading and see you again soon.

In this week's episode, we watch Wheels on Meals (1984) starring Jackie Chan, Yuen Biao, Lola Forner, and Sammo Hung. This movie inspired discussions about Jackie's opera career, the superiority of subtitled movies over dubbed movies, and which Jackie we would take on in a fight. Enjoy the episode, and travel safely across the Chanverse.

Jeeg and Pax welcome John Vanover back to the show for another screening of Kung Fu Theater. This time the nerds tackle a long overdue discussion of the legendary Jackie Chan centered on the first of the Three Dragons movies, Project A. Co-starring Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao, it features plenty of action, a healthy dose of comedy, an almost satisfactory amount of pirates, and one of Jackie's most epic stunts. Listen and find out if you can't spell awesome without 'A'.

Hong Kong cinema is the cinema of contrasts, often in the same movie but this week, dark is kept to one movie and light within the other. Starting with Corey Yuen's dark actioner Righting Wrongs where Yuen Biao loses faith in the justice system. And in the second half, the review of Cinema City's cashcow […]

Jackie Chan returns with another ‘Project A'. Sans his peking opera brothers Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao but with a bunch of new action creativity and silent movie style stunts nonetheless. And we also discuss the movie that breathed needed life into Hong Kong cinema and broke out onto the world stage: Infernal Affairs. With Kenny […]

From Hong Kong to Spain and back to Hong Kong and back in time again, for this episode we follow the three brothers (i.e. Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao) as they take their martial arts action comedy formula to Spain and into a meal-van in Wheels On Meals. And we then transfer from […]
