There is a metric ton of crazy poo poo happening in Fantasy Mission Force, all right. The un subbed-or-dubbed musical number does help ease you into the madness, at least. Meanwhile, being shown Buddha's Palm (Here's the trailer) without prior knowledge of the film, (as happened to me last night) should be considered a war crime. The "Nine-Red-Bulls-Before-Work" editing style alone messes with your head, let alone the Kung-Fu lightsabers, Giant Extend-O-Feet, a dragon puppet Jim Henson would have ordered burned at the stake and the nine million plot lines all fighting for your attention. I intend inflicting this on many, MANY people.

I love me some Godfrey Ho. The only trouble is, trying to remember if you've seen the flick before. I've gotten halfway through a flick, thinking I'd already watched it, then had the plot of whatever movie he was "enhancing" with Ninjas divert wildly. Only the recycled Ninja footage remains constant. Until I found an interview with him, I was actually convinced "Godfrey Ho" was just the Hong Kong equivalent of "Alan Smithee" for many years.

There's a lengthy interview with the man himself at http://www.hkcinemagic.com/en/page.asp?aid=230&page=1. Highlights include his actor hiring policy. (Basically, go to where American and Australian tourists hang out in Hong Kong and say "Hey, wanna be in a movie?")  I assume that's where he discovered the phenomenal acting talent of Stuart Smith, the most Australian Ninja in Ninja History.

Got around to watching a few early Jackie Chan flicks this week. THE YOUNG MASTER (out of a 5-DVD box set I grabbed solely for FANTASY MISSION FORCE) is pretty worthless, and practically Jackie-free. FEARLESS HYENA on the other had was a blast. Once you got past Jackie's dubbed-accent, which made him sound like a member of Herman's Hermits.

Boinks posted:Young Master is ok. Are you sure you didn't see Young Tiger by mistake? Yep, you're right. YOUNG TIGER it was. Not-Actually-Starring Jacky (sic) Chan and co-starring his giant stick-on hairy mole.

muscles like this? posted:Wasn't footage of his funeral used in Game of Death? It was definitely used in The True Game of Death -http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083233/, shot from what appeared to be a neighboring building. Then again, the flick also uses Bruce Lee footage spliced in as dream sequences, and a dime-store Kareem Abdul-Jabbar-a-like, so they weren't exactly worried about their film-making ethics.

"Bruce Thai" sounds like a restaurant I'd be happy to eat at.
