Regret can be tempered with drugs, and lots of them. Jackie Chan has a cameo too! FMF is well below his level but IIRC he appeared only as a favour to the producer under rather shady circumstances..

The trouble with Martial Arts films are the multiple names that they have, often meaning that finding the good stuff in the days of VHS was pure luck. And that's not even going into the quality of the picture.

There is one film that I've always been curious about but never been able to find: Sammo Hung stars, title has frog or monkey in it. I've heard a practicing martial artist swear blind that it was the best thing he had ever seen. Any ideas??

As a person who loved the unpretentious madness of Tsui Hark and proper balls to the wall HK stuff, I couldn't stand CTHD. So humourless.

I'm p. against obvious wirework in general tbh, and I think it's kind of telling that the people bringing life back into the genre are old school in their choreography.

I sold my wife on it by telling her it's like a Chinese "Jiro Dreams of Sushi". She still hasn't quite forgiven me, but it was worth it for the look on her face throughout.
