Love to see two old Shaw Brothers stars, Chin Siu Ho and Norman Tsui go at it in Taoist Priest. ESPECIALLY when you get a dope Demon of the Lute reference thrown in for good measure! Also...third hand technique! lol

The Master Returns: Ghost Prisoner (2024 Zhang Dicai) Zhang directs/stars as a Taoist priest in this Mr Vampire esque throwback. A bit slow to begin, but full of cool, Ching Siu-tung esque wire-fu battles in the back half. At 76 minutes, it doesn't waste your time either. Good fun!

#filmsky Predator Badlands (2025)

Great addition to the Predator franchise. Was worried when it was first announced. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Well trodden themes explained the Predator culture without prior knowledge. Great action scenes showing off some iconic tools and ecology.

Pretty much everyone who has seen #TheFurious has said it's one of the best martial arts flicks of the decade and an action movie game changer akin to The Raid.

That makes me moderately proud to have recently interviewed its director, Kenji Tanigaki. 😎

You can't think of a fascist as a person who can be reasoned with. A fascist sees compromise as failure, as one once told me directly. It's you losing a battle with them, boosting their morale, telling them this is a war they can win. They value dominance and you proved they could dominate.
If you give a fascist an inch, they will take everything.

Do not concede points to them if you want to bargain or negotiate, because they're not here to be civil. They want to eliminate you in the most horrible way they can currently achieve.

everybody's making samurai games; when are we gonna start getting Hero/House of Flying Daggers/Crouching Tiger open world wuxia RPGs? unrealistic superhuman warriors explained as just being real good at martial arts that's very operatic in style

So close to perfect, with a few deadly flaws holding it back.

Still, I adored this. Beautiful serene minimalism, wholly commited to being about martial arts (a fictional one that Marko Zaror invented himself!) and the warrior's path.

Zaror should be a star.

Cinematically, I love what Zaror & Espinoza do here. A beautiful ode to classic kung fu choreography, imbued with his own unique iconography, whilst also showing off his athleticism

RIP Stanley Fung. It's been a terrible week losing Benz Hui and Fung. Comedy legend, member of the Lucky Stars, but he also popped up as a suave swordsman in the odd 70s wuxia which was always fun to see.
