episode 21: Ep 21 - Eastern Condors (1987)


Like a leaf stem to the neck, this action flick starring Sammo Hung, Yuen Baio and a whole ensemble cast of veteran Hong Kong actors appear in this war epic combining The Deer Hunter with hand-to-hand combat. So it's obviously better.

Celebrating a whopping 45 years, join us as we talk about one of Angela Mao's relatively lesser known kung fu flick combining the best of modern and traditional martial arts cinema in the same way as putting Skittles and M&Ms in the same bowl.

episode 19: Ep 19 - Rush Hour (1998)


We finally talk about the iconic martial arts movie that really brought the blend of comedy and action we come to expect from the legendary Chris Tucker. Oh and there's some Chinese guy in there or something. Do you understand the words that are coming out of our mouths?

episode 18: Ep 18 - Kickboxer (1989)

episode 18: Ep 17 - Magic Crystal (1986)


You may have seen clips from this relatively obscure Cynthia Rothrock and Andy Lau kung fu flick but we've finally gotten a chance to watch the whole movie. It's just like E.T. but with a lot more kickass action and a whole lot less Reeses Pieces.

episode 16: Ep 16 - Only the Strong (1993)


On this day, 26 years ago, Mark Dacascos starred in this cheesy but innocent martial arts romp and exists to this day as the only Hollywood movie to fully feature the Brazillian dance-fighting style of Capoeira.

episode 15: Ep 15 - Wheels on Meals (1984)


It's hard to imagine that this movie with one of the most legendary end fight scenes is now turning 35 years old. It's also hard to imagine that the rest of the movie is worth not talking about.

episode 12: Ep 12 - High-Kick Girl! (2009)


In commemoration of this movie's ten year anniversary, we look into this Japanese movie with a high bar in martial arts choreography bogged down by excessive repetitiveness.
