Bu wen nu xue tang aka Screwball '94 - Otto Chan - HK - (1994)
Plot: "A ghost comes back from purgatory to help out a young & horny college boy, in order to redeem his karma."
CAT III from HK, but nothing interesting here. It's Porky's, redux HK style. Lousy popular Chinese humor and some magic. Hopefully, there is some nudity to lift a little this movie that really feels like a poor attempt to copy the teenager's comedy flick from the US. Enjoy the sex and the silliness of it all !
No trailer, sorry....
Succubare - HK - (1981)
Plot from Imdb: "A Chinese village run by beautiful women turns out to be more than the local men bargained for--especially if they have any idea of seducing the local beauties, then running out on them."
Nasty mondo-like movie from the golden area of HK weirdness, the 80's. The story of the 3 princesses - black magic priestesses is laughable. The mondo insertions - mostly an old villager eating almost anything alive, crawling, swimming or running - are gross, of course. But not so much that it is noticeable. But the costumes are great. I'd like to know from where region are those traditional costumes from: they look more like Indonesian than Chinese. The rest is not very interesting. My main problem with this movie is that there is WAY too much snakes in it. It's like every scene of possession is plastered with inserts of live snakes...it's really lame. One funny detail: one of the cast main character is Carter Wong, who is not an unknown as he appears also in "John Carpenter's Big trouble in Little China" as one of the three magic warriors, Thunder !!
Remembering Carter Wong in his role of Thunder, in "Big Trouble in Little China":
Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film - Doc - USA - (2006)
Nice documentary about the Slasher genre. All the great masters are here and we got to see the frenzy for that genre in the 80's that created masterpieces and also led to its doom. Recommended !
Tian can di que aka The Crippled Masters - Kei Law - HK - (1979)
Plot from Imdb: "Two men skilled in the arts of Kung-Fu are betrayed by their master and crippled for life, one left with no arms and the other with no legs..."
First of all, I must say that this movie is a great personal favorite: I discovered it back in the days of VHS, when my father used to go to the biggest VHS rental store I have ever seen (the mythical "Palace Video" in Paris) and let me choose half of the videos. Needless to say that my selection was based on the covers and this particular kung-fu gem attracted me immediately. Imagine, you're 12 years old and you see: "Kung-fu Monsters" (french title)...Impossible to resist. And I must add that my expectations for a deviant movie where matched: this was, at that time, the craziest movie I had seen.
That said, it's just an average, low budget, HK kung-fu flick from the end of the 70's, so what is so special ? Well, if we were doing a movie about people without limb in the western world, we would probably use prosthetics for the actors or even CGI, now...Back in the days, in HK, they used real people with disabilities.And if it's not creepy enough, the story is rough as hell, you see the people losing their limb and screaming in pain (witch would be considered in western society as bad taste if not intolerable). But the weirdness of the movie comes also from other things: the super-creepy kung-fu master adds another touch to the improbable cast and the violence of some sequences are so "over the top" that you constantly oscillate between laughing out loud and vomiting your guts in disgust. A classic.
