Beware! They are still at large! On this episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ it's 1974's SAVAGE SISTERS, a wonderfully cartoonish (sorta) women-in-prison film full of outrageous humor, double crossing and - of course Vic Diaz as ONE EYE. Gloria Hendry, Cheri Caffaro and Rosanna Ortiz play the titular characters, with Sid Haig, Eddie Garcia and John Ashley (who also produced) as their often ridiculous foils. What did we think?

On this episode of FORGOTTEN GEMS? we're looking at the winner of the 1978 Cannes Film Festival Jury Prize, Marco Ferreri's BYE BYE MONKEY (aka CIAO MASCHIO) starring Gerard Depardieu! You might think a film about a grown (french) man adopting a baby chimp after finding it nestled in a giant animatronic King Kong would be loads of fun, but BOY is it not! It's cynical, often irritating and very unpleasant, so let's talk about it! The post Episode 60 – Forgotten Gems? – Bye Bye Monkey (1978) first

On this episode of We Do Our Own Stunts we're continuing our look at the early career of Jackie Chan with the Jimmy Wang Yu-starring THE KILLER METEORS, which features the first collaboration between Jackie and Wang Yu (though their fates would entwine a few years later) as well as Jackie playing a VILLAIN! It's a bizarre, and sometimes incomprehensible, high-flying martial arts epic, but it's still a lot of fun. Let's check it out! The post Episode 59 – We Do Our Own Stunts – The Killer Meteors

Our look at the filmography of the great John Singleton continues with two of his mid-period films, starting with the often-brutal historical drama ROSEWOOD from 1997, followed by the coming-of-age comedy-drama BABY BOY from 2001.

On a brand new ACTION PACKED episode of Eric Roberts is the Man we're joined by Cinapse co-founder and editor Ed Travis to discuss Jesse V. Johnson's 2017 throwback actioner THE BEAUTIFUL ONES from 2017. Does the film stack up to the films and filmmakers it constantly references, or did the distributor's choice to abandon its intended black & white aesthetic undermine its intentions? Let's find out!

We continue our chronological look at the career of Carol Kane with the notorious 1976 flop HARRY AND WALTER GO TO NEW YORK! Despite a packed cast that includes Elliott Gould, James Caan, Diane Keaton and Michael Caine the film was a box office and critical bust. But does the vaudeville-tinged safecracking caper have anything to recommend it? Let's find out!

On this limb-shattering episode of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO VIC DIAZ? we're heading to 1989 and a film that was in EVERY video store in the early 90s: BLOODFIST! Starring Don "The Dragon" Wilson, Billy Blanks and - of course - Vic Diaz, the film has Wilson's character infiltrate an underground martial arts tournament to find out the mysterious circumstances behind his brother's death.

On this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we're taking a step back from Lo Wei's attempts to launch Jackie Chan into superstardom and instead looking at the film that caught his attention in the first place: John Woo's THE HAND OF DEATH! Not only does the film bring Jackie Chan together with the legendary director of THE KILLER and HARD BOILED, but it also features fellow Seven Little Fortunes alumni Sammo Hung (who was also the stunt co-ordinator), Yuen Baio and Yuen Wah!

On this episode of HOW DO YOU DO, FELLOW KIDS? we're discussing the 2014 abomination THE COBBLER, where Adam Sandler uses a magical sewing machine to literally allow him to walk a mile in someone's shoes. It doesn't go well. Featuring one of the most out there endings we've ever encountered, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Come check it out!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! On our first episode of 2021 we're heading to the 54th Berlin International Film Festival to look at the Golden Bear-winning Turkish-German drama HEAD-ON from 2004. An intense, disturbing, film about two self-destructive Turkish immigrants in Germany who enter a marriage of convenience but end of falling in love makes for often challenging viewing, but is it a FORGOTTEN GEM?

On this episode of The Films of John Singleton we're doubling up one of his most interesting - and prescient - features with a film from one of the biggest franchises of all time! We start by taking a look at 1995's HIGHER LEARNING, a sometimes stodgy but ultimately worthwhile look at the various troubles and conflicts that occur among a group of college freshmen. Then we move onto the eye-blistering neon of the big-budget 2003 sequel 2 FAST 2 FURIOUS! The post Episode 44 – The Films of John

2020/11/16

Following the failure of NEW FIST OF FURY to launch the career of Jackie Chan, producer Lo Wei took another swing with the Chen Chi-Hwa-directed SHAOLIN WOODEN MEN from 1976. Featuring a story of revenge and intrigue, as well as the titular hallway of chain-operated wooden men, the film - thankfully - strays away from trying to recreate Bruce Lee's persona and we get something closer to the Jackie Chan roles that would launch him to stardom. Closer... but not quite there. Check it out! The post
