Movie of the Day – Undefeatable

May 22, 2013 Leave a comment

Oh my god you guys, oh my god.  How it took me this long to finally talk about this movie I will never know, but believe me the wait for this post on this particular movie is something to truly treasure.  From 1994, a time when shitty martial arts movies are churned out like cheap knock-off goods, we got Cynthia Rothrock, the female action star of her time, in a movie that is so wildly bad and entertaining that you would think this is what Tommy Wiseau had directed an action flick.  This is just one of the most insanely, poorly acted movies with fight scenes that are just unbelievable.  This is Undefeatable.

Movie of the Day – The Dragon Lives Again

May 14, 2013 1 Comment

Have you ever wanted to see Bruce Lee battle the likes of James Bond, The Man with No Name and Dracula all in one epic movie.  Well folks, you are in luck since the death of Bruce Lee spawned a subgenre of exploitation movies called Bruceploitation and the movie studios just couldn’t stop capitalizing off the fame of Bruce Lee.  RIP Bruce, your legend will live on as will these horribly amazing movies.  It’s time for The Dragon Lives Again.

Movie Review – Miami Connection

October 21, 2012 8 Comments

Get ready for the reunion tour of a lifetime.  Getting the band back together, the ass kicking, taekwondo orphans, mega rock band Dragon Sound, is being resurrected for a brand new audience for some of the best 80s music around.  Synth playing, mullet rocking, guitar shredding, pop infectious lyrics will get you jumping out of your seats, right before you are jump kicked back from the stage as Dragon Sound not only rocks the stage, but also rocks the criminal underworld and their “bad” cocaine in the film Miami Connection.

Movie of the Day – Enter The Ninja

September 3, 2012 Leave a comment

One of my favorite things about writing this daily blog is the fact that I get to talk about, sometimes briefly or at length, about movies that I love.  Terrible movies, classic movie, horror, suspense, foreign, action adventure, monsters, martial arts movies and so much more.  It doesn’t matter what I see cause it’s all part of the life of a cinephile.  So today, I get to talk about the movie Enter the Ninja staring the original Django himself, Franco Nero.  The 1981 classic, yes classic ninja film that is just balls out epic and unintentionally funny action film.

Movie of the Day – 3 Ninjas

June 16, 2012 Leave a comment

I don’t know what is happening here, but I just can’t seem to get away from the martial arts fair of the early 90s.  With TMNT II and Surf Ninjas being covered recently, I just want to revert back to my childhood.  Who could forget the antics of young, white suburban kids learning the ancient art of nut kicking from Egg Shen of Big Trouble in Little China.  I am certain that this movie did more for the strip mall dojo’s in getting kids excited about becoming little crotch kicking ninjas.  I bought into this movie, the notion that us little kids could take on a ninja syndicate and save the girl with out nut kicking prowess and tiny fists of fury.  It’s a movie that would spawn countless knock-offs and sequels that sadly pale in comparison to the one true heir of young Bruce Lee wannabes.

Movie of the Day – The Game of Death

August 29, 2011 2 Comments

I want you all to pour one out for your hoomie, Bruce Lee.  Game of Death was to be Bruce Lee’s final movie that showed off his amazing fighting style of Jeet Kune Do, but he left the film to work on Enter The Dragon and died after the making of the movie.  The Game of Death is basically the last film to have been made by Lee, but sadly never finished.  It was ambitious to say the least, with Lee showing off the versatility of his fighting style with a big final set piece and cementing his status as an icon of Chinese and American cinema.  I choose this today as it the movie wasn’t even supposed to have seen the light of day or even be finished for that matter.  Some look at it as a way to profit off of his death and others look at it as the last gift Bruce Lee had to give to his fans and those that follow his teachings.
