    Just watched The Iron Fisted Monk. Looks a bit yellow to my eyes but apart from that, a nice fully grained presentation of an occasionally soft looking movie.

      Watched Magnificent Butcher last night for the first time in years and it holds up really well. Sammo shouldn't be able to move the way he does, but he does, and you've got to respect that. The comedy in this one is pretty effective but it's, obviously, the fight scenes in it that really stand out. The last half hour is pretty much non-stop, and the choreography really is top notch. Looking forward to checking out the other two. I can't remember the last time I saw Iron Fisted Monk (I think maybe I got it from Netflix years ago?) but remember enjoying it quite a bit and looking back on it, I don't think I've ever actually seen Eastern Condors.

        If you haven't seen EASTERN CONDORS, you're in for a treat, Ian: it's a spectacularly fun film.

            Watched Iron Fisted Monk last night. Still a lot of fun. Not as good as Magnificent Butcher in my opinion, but solid enough. I remembered bits and pieces of it from watching it years ago. The last 20 minutes is really solid. Had more nudity than I remembered, that rape scene is rougher than you'd think going into this one. Either way, happy to have it on Blu-ray, it's a pretty nice transfer.

              So apparently it's not uncut as a blur has been added to the pubic region and the frame showing the lower half of the torso has been zoomed on THE IRON FISTED MONK.

                Looks like Sammo is set to direct a new military action style movie called Medal Of The Dawn.

                  If it has a single Yuan of Chinese cash invested, it will probably be shite propoganda.

                    There is no greater propaganda industry than Hollywood.

                        Good. That means you're not a hypocrite and don't partake in typical Western double standards.
