THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES (1974)
October 10th, 2010 by Mr. C
I’m in the mood for…horror…simply because Halloween is near thee! I’m ALWAYS on REWIND-FANG mode for THE LEGEND OF THE 7 GOLDEN VAMPIRES especially when halloween is around the corner! This movie is basically a vinegarette of a wet dream with shaw brother kung fu infused with the lord-count dracula! It’s a 1974 Hammer & […]

GANG MASTER (1982)
September 17th, 2010 by Mr. C
Gang Master, a Shaw brother produced film released in 1982 directed by Chui Siu Ming is one of my top 20 Shaw movies of all time! It’s a costume-period piece epic film & not a modern triad street gang induced flick as the title might indicate. The “Dragon Gang” is an organization created by the […]

LITTLE BIG SOLDIER (2010)
August 23rd, 2010 by Mr. C
LITTLE BIG SOLDIER starring Jackie Chan was a period piece film of warring states in China. The story had a makeup of an epic tale, but in the end it was a pretty big disappointing soldier in my opinion. It wasn’t because the film wasn’t a classic Jackie Chan movie full of kung fu fighting […]
