taking a break from werewolf game writing to eat thai food and continue watching millionaires express, a kung fu classic from sammo hung and a bunch of guys you've seen a million times if you've watched any hk kung fu flicks from the 80s. might resurrect my shang chi video just so i have an excuse to talk about how awesome the action in this is
this is a movie about all last five different groups of guys all trying to rob the same train independently of each other. it's hilarious slapstick and then an actual human man jumps off a three story building, lands on his ass, and immediately hops up like nothing happened. i know it's a cliche to say this but they literally Do Not make em like this anymore. even john wick, bastion of practical action in the west, isn't even on the same continent as this literally actually a children's movie
THE WAY THIS MOVIE ENDS WITH THE CAST NOTING HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DEAD AND THEN ALL THE WOMEN SAY "WELL LET'S GET TO WORK" AND TRUNDLE OFF TO FUCK THE MAIN CHARACTERS
the credits roll on a freeze frame of the main characters joyously embracing the women that they are about to fuck
this movie is something else
@sarahzedig okay clearly i need to watch this
@irisjaycomics it's a lot of fun!
the thing that shocked me the most was the handling of the three japanese samurai characters. i was expecting them to be really nasty but actually when the action starts they just straight up do anime shit. it's SO cool. i was not expecting a hong kong kung fu movie to let samurai shit be that *cool*. they ARE there to steal the map to the terracotta army though and for that they get beat up at the end.
