Within the first half hour of this movie, a school girl turns stripper for a horn crowd of old dudes to hide her talent for queefing darts out of her snatch in order to assassinate a yakuza senior.

In case anyone here wants to feel as old as I do, actor and martial artist Hayate Masao was 35 when he shot KARATE KILL for director Kurando Mitsutake. The man is 45 years old today.
Happy birthday Hayate-san!

In other news, if you follow Lorenz Hideyoshi on Instagram, you'll find he posted a reel comparing fight choreo he did for a Star Wars fan film in 2019 to a sequence used in a 2023 episode of Star Wars: Visions. In sum, it's reasonable to believe that Disney, allegedly, stole his work. What say you?

You know it has to be bad when the SEX TRAFFICKING PEDOPHILE is calling sitting U.S. president Donald Trump "evil beyond belief".

Just wanted to put it out there - because it can't be mentioned enough and our peers still support this man so I they can clearly afford an action film blogger's attention to it - that Donald Trump is in the Epstein files, and the GOP has fought tooth and nail to keep these files hidden from us.

Giving this video thing another shot since I haven't exactly been able to upload these things on here for a while now with the app acting all funny and whatnot. Oh, and trailer for LONE SAMURAI starring Shogen (Gensan Punch, Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist), coming soon from @wellgousa.bsky.social

Left out in a hurry this morning to run errands. TBH though this is the best I've felt since last November. There ain't much to being an American under Trump, but as of last night my pride as a New Yorker is renewed.

Just a quick reminder that there are time when multiple things can be true at once. You can totally enjoy Ron Perlman and Selma Blair in both GDT's HELLBOY movies, and be perfectly fine with calling Blair a Zionist, right-wing twatsicle who breathlessly lauded Charlie Kirk as "an incredible man". 🥴

PRISONER OF WAR is excellent, but being quoted on the back of the Blu-Ray box alongside @hatefuljosh.bsky.social's summary is pretty damn awesome too. And so is @wellgousa.bsky.social. Comes out in a few weeks!

Someone at Amazon thought removing guns from 007 art was a good idea. To what end? Idunno. All I know is it's only a matter of time before the next mass shooting/national tragedy involving a gun. If you're gonna be this futile about the issue then you might as well make the next Bond film G-rated. 🤷🏽♂️
