If you ever wanted to know what it's like to watch a Voltron like creature be formed out of 6 women who are supposedly adult virgins, you can such an experience by watching "Holy Weapon" (1993). Adult Female Virgin Human Voltron end fight scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH0jCmDWVYw Full Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3xO4jufacE I think I need to go to a doctor and get checked for permanent brain damage.

I'm rather fascinated by the fact that all these obscure (at least to western eyes) hong kong action movies from the 80s and 90s are basically plastered up on youtube. I've had a good opportunity to blow my brains out with some of the craziest poo poo I've ever seen. One movie that simultaneously impressed and horrified me was "Iron Angels." A movie that starts out as a light hearted action comedy that all of a sudden explodes into this ultra violent and almost disturbingly dark movie that has people getting outright murdered in terrible ways. The whole thing builds to a vicious fight scene between Moon Lee and Yukari Oshima that is quite the site to see. A bit of wire work is involved but these two women are absolute martial arts beasts. Trailer: http://youtu.be/HHANUdGtZ4A End Fight Scene: http://youtu.be/XT3MlF9Zua0 Full Movie (really awful English dub): http://youtu.be/S_bnmb_OIM0 G-III fucked around with this message at 04:24 on Aug 14, 2014 |

Man Dancer posted:I finally got around to this after bookmarking it all these months ago. Pretty great! Thanks for posting the original end fight scene, it is cut to poo poo in the dub. If you pay close attention, Yukari Oshima is wearing leggings throughout the film that have the word "Slut" printed all over them in red letters.  The movie makes sure to point out that under no circumstance should you ever gently caress with Yukari Oshima.  Angel Terminators 2 also introduces Moon Lee by showing her fight in what appears to be the roughest damned PE class I've ever seen: http://youtu.be/5ZtamGgg2_0 G-III fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Mar 28, 2015 |

Man Dancer posted:Those leggings were fantastic. I think I actually clapped when I realized what was printed on them. The original Angel Terminators (what is it with "Angel" in the title of all these movies) was mondo hosed up. It first starts out as your low budget tough as nails chick cop movie with your canned action scenes and a few kung fu gweilo henchmen in suits, but then it escalates from there. A stunt fall in the middle of the movie in which a man is kicked off the top of a 3 story building, lands on the shovel head of a fully extended earth mover in the middle of the air, and bounces off to fall on a pile of soft dirt. I'm guessing the stunt man lived... I hope? But it doesn't end there, our lead crime boss villain moves on to cut open a woman's face with a broken bottle, drags her to the toilet, gives her a solid swirly, then unzips his fly and pisses on the back of her head. If that wasn't enough, the movie literally rolls credits with our lead hero, Ida, dangling from a wire by just her feet after just being shot in the chest by our boss villain in an oncoming car. Using her last ounce of strength while dangling on the wire, she pulls out a knife, cuts the boss villain in the neck as he drives under her, only to smash into a nearby wall and blow up.  You can watch the whole thing up on Amazon Instant or you can just watch the ending here: http://youtu.be/lAlmeBUyY7c G-III fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Mar 28, 2015 |

The couple of scenes where he is pounding on one guy while taunting a bunch of other guys are just delightful. The most ridiculous example of Donnie playing too young for his age was Dragon Tiger Gate. Well... to be fair that whole movie was ridiculous.

If you want super powered kung fu, look no further than the Shaw Brothers' Chinese Fairy Wu Xia'ish adaptation of Superman: "Descendant of the Sun" (1983) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW9ylycrfBU G-III fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Apr 21, 2015 |

When I thought I couldn't find anything as mind breaking as Descendant of the Sun, I ended up getting my hands on a copy of the "Holy Flame of the Martial World." These early 80s shaw brothers super powered kung fu movies are just insane. I can't tell if I'm supposed to watch these types of movies sober to avoid permanent brain damage or if I'm supposed to watch these completely blitzed out on drugs so that they make sense: https://youtu.be/aWltGHdAysY

Gwyrgyn Blood posted:Was that new Police Story: Lockdown worth a watch at all? Just noticed that on Netflix and it took me a minute to realize it was that Police Story series. I'd say avoid Police Story: Lockdown. It's like Jackie Chan got imported into a generic modern action movie. Instead of wide fixed shots and amazing choreography you get close up shaky cam fights with no impact. I found the experience to be very disappointing and I decided it would be better just to go back and watch Police Story 1-3.

Boinks posted:Now you'll have to track down and watch Golden Swallow, the sequel to Come Drink With Me The Golden Swallow is one of Chang Cheh's most brutal flicks with respect to body count and really stands up there along side "The Duel" and "Delightful Forest" Additionally, watching any of shaw brothers movies starring Pei Pei Cheng is never a bad idea. I definitely recommend flicks like "The Jade Raksha," "The Shadow Whip," and "The Lady Hermit."

ProfessorProf posted:Hey, thread. I'm looking for Netflix/Amazon streaming classic kung fu! Amazon Prime has a lot of chop sockie versions of classics while Netflix has the most restored original language versions of some Shaw Brothers movies like the 5 Venoms and 5 Elements Ninjas. What you're really into appears to be pre-reunificaton HK cinema. In which case if you can't find it streaming you'll have to pay for it (I get my fix from renting from a local niche video store here in seattle), or you can find many full-versions of whatever it is you want to watch thanks to rampant piracy on youtube. However with youtube the quality will of course range from so compressed that you can't see anything going on to merely lovely.

Lurdiak posted:Jesus Christ, what did the Shaw Bros do to the negatives of Master of Flying Guillotine, use em to level their table? This DVD is some beat-up poo poo. If I'm not mistaken, "Master of Flying Guillotine" despite having Jimmy Wang Yu as its star, is not a Shaw Brothers movie and was actually made in Taiwan under the original title "The One Armed Boxer vs. the Flying Guillotine."

Jimbot posted:Is the Lady Snowblood sequel worth watching? Both films are up on Netflix and I've seen the first film - which I liked a whole of a lot. But I've never knew it had a sequel. Has a bunch of Kurosawa and Zatoichi films up there too - all from the Criterion collection. Saw Throne of Blood last night - amazing film. The sequel is bad. Watch it if you are curious and have nothing else to do but it's no where near as good as the first movie

I liked Moon Lee best in the Iron Angels series, especially with her facing off against Yukari Oshima in the first movie which is straight up the most brutal woman on woman fight I've yet seen in a HK action movie. As far as female leads in kung fu features go, you really cannot at all go wrong with watching films starring Pei Pei Cheng or Angela Mao. Although keep in mind these movies, while older, are exceptionally brutal. Take for instance this sequence from the film in which Ms. Cheng bounces into a gang of bad guys, calls out which body parts she will remove from three dudes she cuts in the face, then proceeds to take off those body parts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyI1YSlhjX4 Be warned.

Outside of a handful of Michelle Yeoh movies, the best you can get away with is Kar Leung's "My Young Auntie" with Kara Hui. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjVeO7WvMAM Everything else is basically going to have these ladies brutally wrecking dudes and leaving fields of bodies on the ground. Hell even "Lady Whirlwind" with Angela Mao is basically all about her character going around and beating men to death with her bare fists.

Keep in mind Boxer's Omen is a sequel to "Bewitched" (1981). It's a bit more subdued in terms of special effects, but it brings in some really grimy / nasty evil stuff. Once you're done with Boxer's Omen then do yourself a favor and seek this one out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkY7lB4ZW7E

I'm amazed by the career and antics of Godfrey Ho. Most obviously recognize him for his antics of chopping together footage of Australians on vacation in the Philippines in ninja costumes with already existing movies but he is a very capable and competent film maker when the conditions are right. I recommend anyone to take a glance at angel enforcers which is full of just non-stop sick rear end action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kk47kzbL5Kc There's also Princess Madam aka Iron Angels 4 which is just nutso https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rs8tIwS_guk
