I'm not sure what, if anything, I will be doing with this blog in the future, but if you like what you see, send me a private message and maybe I can hook you onto my Facebook page which is full of HK and Taiwanese cinema silliness, posters, pics, and general HK movie nonsense. Cheers and have a safe, happy, and prosperous New Year! <br />

A few months back I came across a huge lot of HK and Taiwanese movie posters for sale. The price was right for the HUGENESS of the lot, but the only problem was, I had to travel to Canada to pick them up. Sooooo, ROAD TRIP!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBE6yJu6iLcZJAneARF9X_GuHC_uuCUyzKq592Siuq0aBhNmIJGJmOS7HbJledOFqQjT4fLP9km5eZBWdJnfM_sswMPK7vNcBhsgEAUMa0lebw4zpLYqv7vq70O4hopKOqQNjNALIlXc/s1600/12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiBE6yJu6iLcZJAneARF9X_GuHC_uuCUyzKq592Siuq0aBhNmIJGJmOS7HbJledOFqQjT4fLP9km5eZBWdJnfM_sswMPK7vNcBhsgEAUMa0lebw4zpLYqv7vq70O4hopKOqQNjNALIlXc/s320/12.jpg" width="199" /></a></div>
My dear, understanding as heck, wife and I made a weekend out of it up in Toronto. We enjoyed the city for a few days, stopping by Niagara Falls on the way, picked up the posters, and headed back home. I was delighted to see that in the lot were a bunch of doubles, triples, quadruples, etc. So, I thought......<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQj_6aoZYs1BgYpWEqa7wqbJZyFz74qpXvVu3QGlLcDhSV6c2MQT6CllbR7GPKHMNuMA3_6A9TDbiZTHpNThWgAR4zgfs7lBPL44bFHEjYrcAYMtf4SVvAHu8os8-_DJPLCwxZStf4u2I/s1600/13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQj_6aoZYs1BgYpWEqa7wqbJZyFz74qpXvVu3QGlLcDhSV6c2MQT6CllbR7GPKHMNuMA3_6A9TDbiZTHpNThWgAR4zgfs7lBPL44bFHEjYrcAYMtf4SVvAHu8os8-_DJPLCwxZStf4u2I/s320/13.jpg" width="201" /></a></div>
......why not sell or trade them to other fans/appreciators of this junk. And that's what I'm doing. Pricing these things is proving difficult as I have consulted a few of the individuals that I regularly buy from. Some of their prices for these posters are just way too high and out of control and I don't feel comfortable at all charging people an over the top dollar amount. So, I have tried to keep costs within reason, for the fans of this stuff. I've also come to find that shipping cost to overseas destinations is just insane! So, I tried to keep poster costs down a bit as shipping costs are absurdly high in some cases. <br />

Last night I had the absolute pleasure of seeing the US cut of Wong Kar-wai's <b>THE GRANDMASTER</b> @ The Museum of the Moving Image. My wife and I saw the original rendering while on honeymoon in HK this past January and dug the film more than not so, with a little nudge, I convinced her to shlep along with me to see it again. Only this time, Wong Kar-wai would be in attendance.<br />

But before the show, we headed to MOMI (Museum of the Moving Image) a bit early as we had only been there once before (a few weeks earlier to catch WKW's <b>CHUNGKING EXPRESS</b>) but were there for the film only and not to take in any of the museums exhibitions. We were both so very glad we did. Among a TON of excellent film ephemera was a small exhibition of illustrations and props from Ang Lee's <b>CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON</b>.<br />

And now on with the show. Waiting on line, I saw my old bud, Patrick Lung Kong. I met Patrick a few years back @ the NYAFF during a <a href="http://inthemoodforgwailo.blogspot.com/2011/07/tsui-hark-and-lung-kong-2011-nyaff.html">Tsui Hark</a> Q&A. Lung, if you are not familiar, is a very important director of HK's yesteryear and one of his films, <b>THE STORY OF A DISCHARGED PRISONER</b>, was the basis for John Woo's <b>A BETTER TOMORROW</b>.</div>

Interviewing WKW was David Schwartz, the Chief Curator @ MOMI. I saw the two a few years back do an interview session when WKW was here in NY with his <b>ASHES OF TIME REDUX</b> @ the NYFF. I've been meaning to do a post about that weekend as I was able to actually, albeit briefly, meet WKW and get an autograph. This time out it was straight up business. But that was ok. It was nice to feel relaxed and not all celebrity stalkerish.<br />

The interview was kinda lackluster but Wong was gracious, funny, and spoke, sometimes at wonderful length, about the film. As for being a bit leery about having a US cut of the film via Miramax, this edit was actually surprisingly fine. About 20 minutes were chopped from the original print. Most people I have spoke to, or articles I have read, point to this being at the reasoning of the 'dumb American.' OK. I can see that. There were a few differences, the 20 minute chop job aside. The film was mostly at a faster clip with action being in large order. The drama, most, not all, was forsaken. Though to make up for this, the film stopped for an on screen written explanation to explain to the dumb Americans that 'this person died' or 'this is why this happened.' Kind of interesting though certainly not detracting from the film. A short momentum kill, but totally forgiven.<br />

So, as another NYAFF peters out, I'm once again wholly amazed as to how it was pulled off and fully satisfied by my experience. I usually get over-hyped about the fest upon seeing the schedule and buy way to many tickets than shows I can actually make it to. Wishful thinking, I guess, but this year was no different. I planned on seeing about a dozen or so movies and only wound up actually seeing about half of that, opting to skip a few of the Taiwanese 'black films' that I had already seen and jumping ship on getting to meet Andrew Lau as it was on the 4th of July and fatty BBQ'ed food was calling my name. Baloney tits trumps <b>YOUNG AND DANGEROUS</b>. But, who <i>I</i> did meet........<br />

I took my wife to see <b>IP MAN: THE FINAL FIGHT</b>, with the legendary director Herman Yau and the films writer, Erica Li, in attendance. Kismet would have it that my wife and I sat directly behind Herman and Erica! <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
After seeing Yau's previous Ip Man effort, <b>THE LEGEND IS BORN-IP MAN</b>, and not really caring much for it, I wasn't sure what to expect with his newest incarnation but I was entirely surprised as the film turned out to be quite good. More of a 'slice of life' story that includes a little martial arts action for the fans. Anthony Wong, an exceptional practitioner of martial arts, is what I believe the actual Ip Man to closely resemble rather than super stud Donnie Yen or artsy handsome Tony Leung Chiu-wai. </div>

At the conclusion of the film, Herman and Erica sat for a wonderful Q&A and even indulged me in autographing a few items and take a pic with my Michael Berryman-esque visage. Herman even let out a great laugh and a, "Wow!" upon seeing the <b>TAXI HUNTER</b> LD I asked him to sign. Just one of the cool moments at the fest. <br />

I also saw the HK horror anthology <b>TALES OF THE DARK: PART 1</b>, that sees Simon Yam making his directorial debut alongside Fruit Chan and Lee Chi-ngai.
This was a bit of a disappointment as Yam's section of the film, the
first, starts us off with our heads up our backsides and flounders
around creepily before concluding in a supposedly chilling manner. It
was a good looking debut, but that was about it. The middle section of
the film, directed by Lee Chi-ngai was the most enjoyable . Tony Leung
Ka-fai and Kelly Chen are just outstanding as they try to uncover the
'mystery of the drowned girl'. Giddy and fun, the only drawback is, as
with the light nature of the piece, the scares are gone. Not so much a
dark tale. The final piece by Fruit Chan really imbues the space with
lore and makes things spooky and evil as heck, especially when seen in a contemporary HK setting. Fruit tells the story in a round-about way as if to just try and fill time before getting to the goods. Some fine stuff abounds, and, like Yam's section of the film, this section looks great, but it ultimately fails as it appears to just end up as a tired old ghost story. </div>

My final day at the fest was a loooong one. It was almost entirely Taiwanese laden as 4 out of the 5 movies screening that day were, well, Taiwanese. The last one was from HK, with Dada "Yummy Yummy" Chan in attendance. But before we plunge down Dada's neckline, the main order of the day was Taiwan black films. Screening, in order, were <b>TAIWAN BLACK MOVIES, WOMEN REVENGER</b> aka <b>THE NUDE BODY CASE IN TOKYO, WHEN A WOLF FALLS IN LOVE</b> <b>WITH A SHEEP</b>, and <b>NEVER TOO LATE TO REPENT</b> aka <b>THE FIRST ERROR STEP.</b> The screenings had directors Hou Chi-jan and the godfather of Taiwanese black cinema, Tsai Yang-ming in attendance and for Q&A's. I was also invited to attend a special reception for the directors that was held as the film <b>WHEN A WOLF FALLS IN LOVE WITH A SHEEP</b> unreeled. American 'Taiwanese food' was served but sadly there was no stinky tofu.<br />

He told wonderful stories about filming during this era and, if time wasn't a concern, would probably still be speaking! <b>WOMAN REVENGER</b> was aces to see on the big screen. A nice, fairly clean print and finally.....<i>ENGLISH SUBTITLES</i>. Specially made for the NYAFF. These festival guys know how to please. And I don't even have to give them a reach around! </div>

After the Taiwanese cinema reception and prior to the screening of<b> NEVER TOO LATE TO REPENT</b>, the NYAFF brood presented Yang-ming with the Star Asia Lifetime Achievement Award. In previous years the fest has bestowed this award on Chung Chang-wha, Tsui Hark, and Sammo Hung, putting Yang-ming in fine company.<br />

On to what was to be the most exciting film for me, as it has never had a home video release, and thus, I've never seen it. NEVER TO LATE TO REPENT. A bit of a misstep by the fest crew as after introing the film and turning things over to the screen, the soundtrack became intermittent, really bothering the audience. After a few minutes, some folks unfortunately bailed on the movie, as others went to see what the heck was what? Martial Arts film fan and audience member, Ric Meyers, came back into the auditorium after inquiring about the sound and loudly relayed to the audience that, in a nutshell, because of poor film preservation, only two copies of the film were recovered. One having a an awful image and partial soundtrack, and the other, having a respectable image and absolutely no soundtrack. So, the two films became one, the nicer print and the partial soundtrack merged with brand new subs created just for this festival. Unfortunately for film history, the film is peppered with silent parts, as well as unsubbed areas. The good news being that really no exposition is lost and the film flows wonderfully, even saddled with silence. An amazing film going experience anyway. </div>

<i>Dada sees me. I better put it back in my pants.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>- </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ok. I skipped a major, and most unforgettable, part of the day, but after Dada I'll get back to it. So, in between shows I overheard a few festival guys grumbling that Dada wasn't feeling well and was going to forgo the Q&A at the conclusion of the final film of the day, <b>HARDCORE COMEDY</b>. So, along with the crap news that little miss was all tuckered out from a day of banging about the big city, Dada at the very least came out to intro the film. Ok. I got a few snap shots and I'm more than satisfied with that. She doesn't appear to be the next coming of Maggie Cheung, so, easy come easy get the heck outta here. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>HARDCORE COMEDY</b> was a big letdown. With a title that includes the word 'hardcore' I expected a little more in the t&a area than what was offered. Am I wrong (or just a dirty little man) in thinking that? In typical HK film style, 3 stories are told to make up a whole film. The first section was promising and provided some vulgar hilarity <i>AND </i>some t&a. The next 2 sections fell entirely flat, at least to this audience, as it appeared the dialogue took on a HK colloquial slant that was mostly lost on us and became only mildly amusing. A shame because the first story had such fun energy before shutting down and putting people to sleep. </div>

<i>AHA!!!</i> And the most incredible part of the fest happened after the <b>NEVER TOO LATE TO REPENT </b>screening and just before <b>HARDCORE COMEDY</b>. The day was running long and a truncated Q&A was planned for Tsai Yang-ming, but, like I said earlier, that man could talk! So, at the conclusion, I was hoping to get my <b>WOMAN REVENGER</b> poster signed by Yang-ming. In trying to expedite the egress of the audience in hopes of getting the <b>HARDCORE COMEDY</b> audience in the theater and starting on time, one of the fest organizers asked that if anyone wished to get an autograph or take a pic with Yang-ming, that we exit the theater and do it all in the lobby. So, I obliged. As film goers emptied the theater and plugged up the the lobby with the line waiting to get into see the next film, I unpacked my poster and laid it out on a nearby table and waited for Yang-ming to make the rounds. And here is where my 10 minutes of rock stardom began.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As the lobby became shoulder to shoulder cluttered, people began to turn their attention to the poster. "Ooooohs", and "Holy shit! Where did you get that?" could be heard here and there as random people inquired about the poster and asked if they could take a picture of the poster. "Of course you can!" So, as theater goers were fawning over my poster, out from the theater came a few of Yang-ming's entourage. Seeing my poster, mouths agape, in wonder. "Waaaaaaahhhhhhh!?!?!?!" Looking at me, "is this yours?" "How....where...did you get it?" A conversation was started with, at that time unknown to me, Kelly Yang, producer of <b>TAIWAN BLACK MOVIES</b>. She was bowled over. I was sweating profusely and so overwhelmed and nervous at all of the attention I was getting. It felt like ALL eyes were on me. Well, the poster, but me as well. I had mentioned to Kelly that I was hoping to get Yang-ming to sign the poster. She said, "hold on," and left to go find Yang-ming, who was taking pictures with fans in another part of the lobby. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
More onlookers came by to stop and chat for a bit and ask for a picture of the poster. It was really great. And then up came Kelly with director Yang-ming trailing behind her. As Kelly peeled off next to me, presenting the poster to Yang-ming, the look on his face....mouth wide open.....in absolute wonder..... I thought I was going to pass out. Or he was going to. He held his hand out to shake mine. Mouth still wide open as he looked at the poster. He spoke to Kelly and she translated for him but I was in such a state of tunnel vision and tunnel hearing, I couldn't tell you what was said? He may have well just been speaking to me directly in Mandarin. He then, I assume, asked Kelly if she could take a picture. Now, I should mention that our entire interaction, Yang-ming and I, this whole scene, was happening in front of a few dozen onlookers and looki loos. Tunnel vision firmly planted, Yang-ming and I picked up the poster and held it for the few dozen paparazzi. I held one end and he held the other. His hand gripped around my waist and mine his back. He was so damn giddy with excitement that he playfully kept pulling me in, squeezing my love handles, and laughing as the cameras flashed. <b>ROCK STAR!!!!!</b>.....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>My hastily framed, signed, <b>WOMAN REVENGER</b> poster.</i></div>
<br />
After the paparazzi session he signed my poster and we spoke, through Kelly, for a bit. As he was pulled away by other fans looking for pics and autographs, Kelly and I spoke for a few. On my iPhone, I keep pictures of ALL of my movie posters and I showed her 2 more Tsai Yang-ming movie posters that I had. She was bowled over. After a while, amid the frenzy, she asked to swap emails so we could send each other posters and pictures related to Yang-ming and Taiwanese films. She gave me her iPhone and I plugged my info in. I gave her my iPhone and she plugged in hers. Upon hearing that my wife was Taiwanese and that we had recently been to Taiwan, a most generous offer to, "Please let me know when you come to Taiwan! We must visit!" was offered. And I just might take her up on it! Rock stardom over. Back to being a regular Joe Schmo. But not without becoming A FB friend with Kelly. And, really, isn't that what it's all about in the real world? hahaha Ahhhhhh, but what a memorable time. NYAFF 2013. End.<br />

On Saturday, August 10th, I will be taking my wife to once again see <b>THE GRANDMASTER</b>. We saw it while in HK in January and both gave it a thumbs up. Marginally, but a thumbs up still. And upon hearing my wife say she would like to see it again, I immediately ordered tix. There is something extra special brewing for this screening too, as WKW will be there in person. How cool is that? We saw WKW, along with Brigitte Lin and Christopher Doyle @ the NYFF back in the fall of 2008 when <b>ASHES OF TIME REDUX</b> was presented and are kinda psyched to see him again.<br />
<br />
So, If you want to check out the full catalogue of WKW's oeuvre, go <a href="http://www.movingimage.us/films/2013/07/12/detail/wong-kar-wai-2/">here</a>. MOMI doesn't have on-line ticket sales so call them and get your tix now. Will I see you there???<br />

Yo! It's that wonderful time of the year again where swamp ass and ball soup runs rampant. But there's good news that will make your undies moist for a different reason.

If you want to catch a glimpse of her goodies, you best check out <b>HARDCORE COMEDY</b>. <br />

The fest has an amazing side bar that is focusing on a little known era in Taiwanese cinema. The 'black films' era. These films are mainly exploitation flicks peppered with social issues that the Taiwanese gov't. eventually suppressed due to their dastardly depictions of social realism. Damn you social realism. How dare you be so real! Damn you straight to hell!<br />

Check 'em out below. </div>

So, suffice to say that as the fest starts this Friday that I will be quite busy for the next few weeks. I'll try and make it back to the blog sooner rather than later but, of course, no promises. Here are the films I plan on seeing this year. Will I also see you there?</div>

Well all righty. Back in the swing on the HK nudie magazine thing. Let's get to it. Here is a Japanese themed mag sold in HK in the mid-late 90's. I've never heard of it and only came across this one as I spotted the small pic of <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=10259&display_set=eng">Vivian Hsu</a> on the cover. If you look in the upper right hand corner of the mags cover, it boasts, <i>THE MAGAZINE OF PLEASURE FOR MEN AND WOMEN</i>. Yes. And yikes! There were a few shmeckles flopping about. But I braved through and discovered a decent spread of Ms. Hsu. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I believe the pics used in the magazine are taken from her <a href="http://xn--wnur6t4za296c/">photo book</a> that I picked up in HK. But I was too lazy to cross reference. But, really. Who cares? Vivian Hsu is nude in this mag. And also in that book. It's all just wonderful.<br />

Another ICHIBAN mag and this one jumped out at me as the lovely <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=9414&display_set=eng">Julia Cheng Lim-Yai</a> is featured front and center. Julia only graced a few CAT III production and is/was actually quite a fine actress otherwise. Her two most notable films are <b>WHORE AND POLICEWOMAN</b> and <b>DAUGHTER OF</b> <b>DARKNESS II</b>. <i>BUT</i>, she is nowhere to be found inside the mag? Drats! Foiled once again.<br />

And yet another <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=11960&display_set=eng">Miho Nomoto</a> photo book outta HK. I also found one of her <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=788280764985772675#editor/target=post;postID=3996223166736250302;onPublishedMenu=template;onClosedMenu=template;postNum=7;src=postname">photo books</a> at a newsstand in HK on the corner of Hankow Rd., just as it abuts Peking Rd., in Tsim Sha Tsui.<br />

This book is a really nice, sometimes classy and sometimes trashy, look at Miho, put out by HK Penthouse. And we are all the more thankful for it. Class and trash. That's kinda like saying, "I want a lady in the parlor and a whore in the bedroom." That's the way I like it! <br />

Ahhhhh! The wonderful <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=9251&display_set=eng">Rena Otomo</a> livens up the cover of this issue of HK Playboy. A CAT III stalwart and one of the more reliable actresses to bring the goods, when her name was in the credits, it was a surefire guarantee her flesh would be on display. And just so ya know, Rena stars in one of my all-time fave CAT III pics, LAN KWAI FONG SWINGERS. <br />

And yet another awesome find. CAT III starlet, <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=6446&display_set=eng">Chan Pooi-Kei</a> graces the cover AND centerfold. And like her CAT III sister in....bosoms, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=788280764985772675#editor/target=post;postID=6931010196077751902;onPublishedMenu=allposts;onClosedMenu=allposts;postNum=5;src=postname">Chan Wing-Chi</a>, her layout is curiously lacking any real nudity. A lot of coy covering up of the naughty bits. But check out some of her CAT III work. It's all skin to win!<br />

And finally. The January 1992 issue of HK Penthouse boasts the formidable talents of Ms. <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=14241&display_set=eng">Chun Hung</a>. The well endowed Chun was just entering her CAT III stretch as an actress in '92 and made a fair handful of fine trash culminating in the awesomely titled <b>SEVEN SEXUAL MANIACS</b> in 1994. One of her most memorable roles was as Charlie Cho's lactating secretary in <b>FALSE LADY.</b> Once seen, never forgotten. Her character is named 'Milka' and her boss Charlie just loves his breast milk lattes. Gross. Penthouse does her, and us, a great favor in this issue. Holy guacamole!

And I am back in the poster groove. The next 3 posts I will feature a small part of my collection concerning HK film posters hailing from Thailand. Some of the coolest looking movie posters around. Also, along with the posters will be less of my blather and more pictures. Meaning, a little less talk and a lot more action. Because who doesn't love more action? <br />

Another week comes and another batch of HK nudie mags arrive at my doorstep. What a wonderful world. The glorious visage that graces the April 1994 version of Hong Kong Penthouse is that of the damn fine Mrs. Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Carina Lau. Of course, Mrs. Leung doesn't do nekkidness so there is only what Penthouse calls a 'Star Focus' article on her film career. Still awesome nonetheless.<br />

And now we jump from an actress who never sheds her threads to one who not only drops trough but shows you the her pink AND her stink. Can I be any cruder? Sheeesh! Sorry 'bout that one folks! Hahaha The magnificently trampy Julie Lee Wah-Yuet funkifies the cover of the May 1994 issue. A nice, long pictorial is crammed into this volume as Julie touts her just released CAT IV flicker, <b>TRILOGY OF LUST</b>.<br />

The July 1992 cover boasts Greenstreet Kan. Kan may not be too well known among most HK movie fans but has appeared in over a dozen films and might be more well known as a HK personality. The indispensable website, <a href="http://www.brns.com/index.html">Hong Kong Cinema- View From The Brooklyn Bridge</a>, states that, "At the age of 70, he managed to marry a woman 50 yrs his
junior and kept his sex schedule busy." Right on, good sir! Sadly, Kan has shuffled off this mortal coil, but certainly not after shuffling his knuckles a time or two. <br />

This is the only pic I can show you from her pictorial. Yikes! It's skin to win. Orthodontists be damned! Also in the issue is an interview with HK comedian/actor Dayo Wong, pictured below. It looks like Dayo is engaged in some auto-erotica. Maybe thinking of Madoka's mangled incisors? Freak! <br />

Oh, yeah! Saving the best for last, but certainly not least. The September 1994 issue blazes through us with the uh-maz-ing Chingmy Yau on the cover. No nudie cutie pictorial as that is not Chingmy's bag. It's my bag, baby. And if I choose to fantasize about Chingmy in the buff, then that is my gosh given right.

Ahhh. More lad mags for the fans. Freed up some money and bought another batch of HK Playboy's. You can find the other post of assorted adult entertainment papers <a href="http://inthemoodforgwailo.blogspot.com/2013/04/so-does-this-officially-make-me-old.html">HERE</a>. Sooooo, let's begin. Above is the August 1989 print of Playboy. The cover model is actress Mondi Yau, who was Miss Asia in 1987. Circa 1989, Mondi had a bit role in Jackie Chan's <i><b>MR. CANTON AND LADY</b></i> <b><i>ROSE (1989)</i></b> before moving on to a mixed bag of mainstream and CAT III claptrap. Mondi doesn't shed any clothes in her pictorial and rarely, if ever, showed any goodies on screen. Check Mondi out in <b><i>TEMPTATION SUMMARY (1990), GHOST PUNTING (1992), FRIDAY GIGOLO (1992), HER JUDGEMENT DAY (1993), I</i></b> <i><b>LOVE MISS FOX</b><b> (1993),</b></i> and <i><b>THE ROMANCE OF THE VAMPIRES (1994).</b></i><br />

Next up is the awesome October 1992 cover touting the film <i><b>THE GIRLS FROM CHINA (1992)</b></i>, starring the two cover girls, Isabelle Chow and the late-great Pauline Chan. While there is no steamy pictorial between the two starlets on view in this issue, there is a small article and a few screen shots of the movie. Also in this issue is a rather lengthy interview with Eric Tsang. In Chinese, of course. Drats! <br />

The booty of former Japanese AV star, Rena Murakami, graces the cover of the January 1992 issue. This same image also adorns the HK movie poster for the Murakima co-starring vehicle, and one of my favorite HK movies of all time, <i><b>ESCAPE FROM BROTHEL (1992)</b></i>. And if Ms. Murakami doesn't tickle your pickle, there is an article on the films of Woody Allen. That might do it for ya? <br />

And the playmate of the Month for January '92? Japanese model turned CAT III actress Tamami Asuka. Tamami appeared in a few films, the CAT III one's being <i><b>HIDDEN PASSION (1991), LOVE IN</b></i> <i><b>SAMPAN</b></i> <i><b>(1992)</b></i> and <i><b>DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS (1993)</b></i>.

The underrated and woefully underutilized Eliza Yue surprisingly goes topless for the cover of the July 1987 issue. Though initially making her name in CAT III productions like <b><i>YU PUI TSUEN (1987)</i></b>, <i><b>MIDNIGHT (1987)</b></i>, and <i><b>CURSE(1988)</b></i>, Eliza jumped over into more mainstream films with limited success. The early 90's CAT III craze saw her slip back into the grunge with cheap goodies like <b><i>JUST LOVE (1992), ANGEL</i></b> <b><i>DELIGHT (1992), EVIL BLACK MAGIC (1992), <a href="http://inthemoodforgwailo.blogspot.com/search/label/Love%20Nest">LOVE NEST</a> (1992), </i></b>and <i><b>MY BETTER HALF (1993).</b></i> Eliza's pictorial is darkly lit and mostly artsy fartsy but would satisfy a curious pervs need for HK cinema tartlet. I guess? I mean, who lets her tit fall out of her negligee while sipping tea in a restaurant? My man rack stays snug and secure in my nightie while dining out. <br />

Wing-Chi has quite the pictorial spread in this issue as she is also the Playmate of the Month. But what is so fascinating is that she doesn't really show anything!? Is this a first for a Playmate of the Month? Bum crack ass-ide (a-thank you), Wing-Chi goes the Austin Powers route and happily blocks all of the meat and potatoes. <br />

Curious, in that she has no problem going the full Monty for cinema. At any rate, I'll take my Wing-Chi any way I can get her. Fully clothed in a parka or burka. Either will do just fine.<br />

Aside from the allure of my lovely Ms. Chan, there is also a Latoya Jackson pictorial that looks to be transplanted from the US version. I vaguely remember my best friends older brother acquiring a copy of the famed 'Latoya' Playboy and the pics look similar. Yikes! There is also a Bruce Lee article on hand if the Latoya layout just F's you up too much.<br />

So, another fine purchase, if I do say so myself. And there are more mags on the way. So, I'll end this post with the labored cliche, "I only read Playboy for the articles!" Actually, if I could read Chinese, that just might be true. </div>

Hey! That's me in Sheung Wan, HK. I just left the office space of an, up until 10 minutes before this pic was taken, online friend. The vast majority of my HK movie posters (the cool ones anyway) are ordered from this great gent and after a few years of order forms and emails, I finally had the pleasure of meeting him. And what a wonderful guy! Anyway, I haven't posted a poster on the blog in quite a while but I am still very active 'collecting' posters. I actually post a new poster to my Facebook page just about every day. One of the reasons I ceased bringing posters to the blog was that the images, in one or two cases anyway, were being used on other sites with that sites watermark stamped over the image. The balls on some people! Initially I took offense but I have since relaxed a bit and just shrug my shoulders in understanding that some people just suck. So, I'm thinking of bringing back posters (and other HK/Taiwanese cinema ephemera) back to the blog. Steal the images if you want. Watermark them. Just remember. I know where you live. And I'm bringing Dr. Lamb with me. <br />

A bit of a landmark happened recently. And it's orgasmic for a HK movie nerd and 'collector' like myself. Even if it's just a minor crotch tremor, it still makes me happy. I have passed the 400 HK/Taiwan movie poster mark. I have blown a ton of money on these posters. Surely money that could have been spent better elsewhere but, what's done is done. For those that are interested, keep your eyes peeled. A cool poster or two might pop up?! What the heck else am I going to do with them?

Maybe you will be able to make a more informed decision by the end of this post? Think of me what you will, I'm having a ton of fun either way, and trying to carry on the good name of HK CAT III well into the new school of Hong Kong cinema. And, yes. That is me in the above picture on the adult magazine paved streets of HK as my poor wife snaps a pic of me perusing a newsstand for old lad mags. The search for all that is CAT III and paperbound started on my trip to HK. And the quest for CAT III entertainment continues..................

To perpetuate my online, well heck, my 'real life' persona, of a purveyor of all that is HK CAT III, I have started to gather old adult magazines and picture books that boast heyday HK entertainers. Whether they are just cover models to sell a rag or actually baring their lovely assets in between the pages, I'm finding it to be an interesting path I'm heading down. Now, to be honest, I could really care less about the nudity in these mags. I've been around the block a few times and this stuff is woefully tame to me. Heck. I'm married. I see a live naked lady every day! I hope my wife doesn't read this post. Anyway, above, is one of two Amy Yip Penthouse mags that I picked up in HK. She's just a cover presence here. And, as I have given these mags and books a cursory look or two, I have discovered the immediate need to want to be able to read Chinese! The old cliched joke of "reading these magazines just for the articles" has proven to be true! <br />

A real collectors item, this is the Amy Yip <i><b>SEX AND ZEN</b></i> issue of Penthouse. This fetches about $150US on eBay. <br />

One of my favorite HK actresses who was able to juggle both a CAT III and non-CAT III career, Rachel/Loretta/Loletta/ Lee Lai-Chun graces the cover, and the cover only, of this rare Penthouse. I picked this up at a HK newsstand as well. Also check <a href="http://inthemoodforgwailo.blogspot.com/search/label/Loletta%20Lee%20Lai-chun">here</a> for an earlier post about one of her photobooks. <br />

Alrighty. So, a few months back home saw my brief infatuation with HK adult mags all but forgotten until I came across this image of another of my favorite CAT III actresses. The adorable <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=7952&display_set=eng">Chan Wing-Chi</a>. I quickly searched for this issue and just as quickly found it on eBay. Dirt cheap. Yoink! This issue looks to have a cool article by Greenstreet Kan that covers mahjong, dice, chess, board games, card games, dominoes, and fortune telling. Odd, yet, so darn cool. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Along with the Chan Wing-Chi issue, the same seller had a few other mags with HK actresses, at the very least, gracing their covers. So, I of course picked them up. Above is <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=12425&display_set=eng">Sherming Yiu Lok-Yi</a>, a non CAT III actress who has a fully clothed fotofolio and interview in the mag. Also, there is an interview with Danny Lee accompanied by a few photos of him puffing on a pipe. AWESOME!!! There's also a bonus interview with the superb actress, <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=11903&display_set=eng">Ruby Wong Cheuk-Ling</a>. <br />

This one caught me by surprise. A very un-CAT III actress on the cover of a HK Playboy. <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=5815&display_set=eng">Teresa Carpio</a>. And, upon a very...very....quick thumb through, Ms. Carpio is quite without a t-shirt. This issue is boss! Included is an interview with Sammo Hung (I should have scanned one of the pics that's included in the interview. He's wearing a wife-beater, bandana around his forehead, and aviators. Ha!), a Jay Leno style pictorial and another interview with Dolph Lundgren.<br />

Another mag I had the fortune of picking up off of eBay and another post 2000 CAT III actress on the cover and between the pages. <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=12510&display_set=eng">Grace Lam Nga-Si</a>.

And now back to HK. I recall picking this up on the way to watch the light show at the harbor. Nude photo book of <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=11960&display_set=eng">Miho Nomoto</a>. Probably best remembered, by me anyway, as Jade Leung's unfortunate friend in <i><a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/movies/image_detail.mhtml?id=8248&image_id=37233&display_set=eng">THE PEEPING TOM</a> </i>(1997).<br />

One of the surprises of my HK trip was finding this photo book. I think it was early on in our trip that we ventured into Chungking Mansions to check things out. Shady as hell, and loving every minute of it, I found this excellent book as well as another eye opening photo spread that I had no idea existed. That book is posted below. Here is another actresses who, like Loletta Lee, successfully navigated the CAT III and non-CAT III HK cinema waters, <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=6512&display_set=eng">Ellen Chan Nga-Lun</a>. Ellen is still active in HK films, thankfully, but is now all pro and non filth. And that is not a bad thing. If you are on Facebook, you can 'friend request' her or just follow what she's up to. I'm, of course, a friend. I'd like to think a good friend at that! Ha!<br />

Before she was a Jackie Chan leading lady, Taiwanese actress <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=10259&display_set=eng">Vivian Hsu</a> showed more than her fair share of goosebumps on film. And I was pleasantly surprised to find this book at a newsstand in TST. I didn't have enough money on me for the book so I ran to a money exchange joint around the corner (and got a little ripped off as I had seen the exchange rate a lot better elsewhere) for more money. Money well exchanged and spent. <br />

And another Jackie Chan leading lady with a gloriously shady past. <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=11637&display_set=eng">Shu Qi</a> has a few skeletons in her closet. Just do a Google image search for her unclothed, and....viola! More pink than a bottle of Pepto Bismol! Above is the photo book for <b><i>SEX AND ZEN II</i></b>. A great, great sequel directed by Cash Chin and also starring Loletta Lee. She's on the cover. And thankfully inside. <br />

And more Shu Qi. She has her fair share of photo books and nudie DVD collections to her name and it makes me so happy that she has turned herself into a worldwide legit actress. I could care less if I ever see Shu Qi in her b-day suit again. She has been exposed as a fine screen presence and just so dang much more than nips and lips. She is my favorite actress, when Maggie Cheung Man-Yuk isn''t onscreen. <br />

And what would a post about nudie HK actresses be without the wonder of them all, <a href="http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?id=9458&display_set=eng">Ms. Julie Lee Wa-Yuet</a>? A conundrum of a HK skinema starlet, Julie made the leap from CAT III to CAT IV with not much aplomb but with western fan notoriety. I also found this photo essay in Chungking Mansions! You can further check her out <a href="http://inthemoodforgwailo.blogspot.com/search/label/Trilogy%20of%20Lust">here. </a>Yipes! <br />

Now, as almost as soon as I have received these pictorials, I have banished them into plastic protective wrapping and into storage for gosh knows how many years and never to be seen again (well, maybe), does this make me an old pervert? A weirdo? Both? As I said earlier, think of me what you will. I'm probably having more fun than you continuing my HK cinema journey! And there should, hopefully, be more books and mags in the future. Oh, my poor wife. </div>

Right on! For my tri-state area people, this April 19-21 @ the Anthology Film Archives, the fine fellas behind, and in front of, the NYAFF are bringing Old School HK action back to the big screen. This weekend of kung-fu stylings is in memoriam for one of the NYAFF organizers, Daniel Anderson Craft, who passed away a few months ago, and someone I only got to know for a short while.

This is a be-there-or-be-square kinda weekend in NYC. Tell your significant other that you can't hang that weekend, call in sick to work, and drop the kids off at your in-laws. The kids need to see their Nan-Nan and Pop-Pop, whom you've been neglecting to visit because they are old and you don't have time for their nonsense. I'm going to be there, and if I can make it there (I already put in for a vacation day at work), so can you. And if I have yet to whet your appetite, then take a gander at the film line-up......<a href="http://subwaycinema.com/oldschool13/">RIGHT HERE!</a><br />

Ahhh. When in HK, it is an absolute must to take a picture of the HK Island skyline. And that is what we did. Over and over and over and over again. Took video too. But a little before the above pic was captured, I had a date on Portland Street. It was our first full day in HK and late afternoon found my wife and I a little bit peckish. Hungry enough for something to nosh on but not so hungry as to chow down a huge meal. We were trying to save our appetite as we planned on a late dinner on Temple St., so, as we did the night before, we headed out to a street food spot on Portland St. The proprietors spoke Mandarin so it made it easy for my wife to order whatever entrails on a stick they were hawking. Our hotel was on Waterloo Rd., so we crossed over Nathan, heading west, and on towards Portland St. As we turned off of Waterloo and on to Portland.........HOLY SHIT! I think that was what I said? And out loud too. I grabbed my wife and pulled her aside exclaiming "HOLY SHIT!" once again. "Do you know who that is?!" Of course, she had no clue. <br />

It was Bruce Leung Siu-Lung!!! Can you believe it!? Right there. On Portland Street. Sitting with a few friends outside of an eatery. Now, this was a day or two before I saw Cheng Pei-Pei and I was just as much the hot, jello like, mess as I was with her. An odd sense of panic crept in. That awkward as heck star struck feeling. Short of wetting my pants, I contended with myself, and my wife, whether I should interrupt his day, while he was sitting and chatting with friends, and ask for an autograph or a picture? I won't go into the long and ridiculous (Ok. It was about 10 embarrassing minutes) time standing on the sidewalk and wrestling with myself as to approach or not. I had already met Bruce @ the <a href="http://inthemoodforgwailo.blogspot.com/2010/11/finally-my-last-day-at-nyaff-2010-bruce.html">NYAFF</a> in 2010 when he was there with <b>GALLANTS</b>. But that was then and this was HK! So.......<br />

I went for it. With a slight bow of the head and an, "Excuse me, sir. Are you Bruce Leung?" As if I didn't already know. Look at that punum. And look at those knuckles! He responded with a smile and a gracious and knowing nod 'yes'. "Would you mind if we took a picture?" "Oh. Yes." He stood shook my hand and posed for the above photo op, taken by my wife. Just before the photo was snapped he asked where I was from? I said that I was from New York and he exclaimed, "Ahhh." I further told him that I had met him once before at the NYAFF, to which he smiled and nodded yes. Like he knew what the heck this American dummy stalker was talking about. After the pic was snapped, another shake of the hand as I returned him to his table of 3 friends. An ear to ear smile from my wife and I, wild nods, and a handful of "do jeh's" to him and his smiley and giggly friends saw us part. Me, on cloud 9. My wife shaking her head as to what kind of creepy loser she married. And Bruce.....just glad he got out alive. <br />

In an unbelievable stroke of luck, my 8 days in HK was a trip for the ages. And here is one case in point. Another one or two are to follow in later posts. But, lets start with this one. My HK itinerary was chock full of places to go and people to see, and surely on my dance card was a quick stop at the Hong Kong Film Archive.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We were stationed in Yau Ma Tei for our stay and usually tried to hit the pavement or MTR early for a full day of visiting. Out early one morning for a trip and a full day to HK Island, our first stop was the HKFA in Sai Wan Ho. It's a touch out of the way so we figured we would hit it first and then work our way back towards Central. There was a King Hu retrospective going on at the Archives but unfortunately, there was no film showing on the day of our visit. I at least wanted to go and check the joint out and to pick up a film book or two. And that's exactly what I did. <br />

The Archives is just a short walk from the Sai Wan Ho MTR stop. Maybe a
few blocks. Lucky for us (again, luck!) that the weather was amazing
for the entire length of our stay. It was a nice walk. Upon entering,
the Archive wasn't anything special. My wife and I were the only ones there, aside from the security guard. To be fair, it was only a few minutes after opening and on a weekday. A bunch of film flyers were
available to take, and I took. All of them. One room on the first
level housed an art instillation that wasn't film related but actually the artwork of King Hu himself! (Thanks <a href="http://webs-of-significance.blogspot.com/">YTSL</a>) So, after perusing the masters artwork, we made our way to the elevators to head up to the second
floor where the King Hu film exhibit was stationed. As the elevator doors
opened, my wife and I stood aside to let the handful of people exit.
And as I smiled and slightly bowed my head at the exiting passengers, I
did the double takes of all double takes. Well, at least it was the
double takes of all double takes since the previous double take of all
double takes I had a few days earlier. We'll get to that one in a
future post. </div>

My legs instantly turned to wet noodles and my heart skipped several beats. In a heat flash, I wasn't married anymore. Instantly knowing that I knew who she was, a lovely ear to ear smile spread across her face as she slightly bowed her head, as I had done. She, and her party, exited the elevator and walked on as my wife and I entered, and pressed the button for the second floor. The doors closed and I shit my pants. Clutching the walls and my wife's arm, I said, "Do you know who that was? Oh my god! Holy shit!" My wife is mostly clueless in the ways of HK cinema and, of course, had not the slightest clue. "That was Cheng Pei-Pei!"<br />

We got off of the elevator, my legs still gelatin. We looked around the King Hu exhibit for maybe 5 seconds, none of it registering. My wife, getting a kick out of me being a blubbering mess, coerced me back downstairs to try and get a picture or an autograph. Back downstairs, swimming in sweat, we discovered Pei-Pei and her party looking at the art instillation. Not wanting to bother her, we milled around the lobby like two sketchy dummies for about 15 minutes until she emerged. I know that Pei-Pei can speak English, but I'm a wuss and asked my wife if she could ask her, in Mandarin, for a picture. I'm more than a wuss. A starstruck puss*. Pei-Pei entered the lobby and my wife approached and kindly asked if she would take a picture with me. She was more than happy to oblige this losers request, as you can see by the above pic. That smile!!!! Love was in the air. I was too nervous to talk to her or gush at how I'm such a big fan. After the picture, I slightly bowed my head again, said thank you, and got the heck out of there. Puss*. </div>

I left the Archives floating on HK's polluted air. I had stepped in shit with this chance meeting. Was it luck? Was it meant to be? And Ms. Cheng was the 2nd actor I 'bumped' into on the trip. Luck, man. I tell ya. Oh. And I bought the two above books at the Archive. Did I forget to mention that? <br />

My HK/Asian cinema books. They are usually never stored away for too long and always available to thumb through if need be. I think I may have misplaced a few throughout the years through house moves or just neglect. And a few might still be stored away as my HK movie collection is still in disarray since the big move last summer. But, here they are. In all of their good, bad, and ugly HK film info/mis-info glory.</div>

Bottom right is my first book on HK cinema and my most dogged. It is also considered one of the worst because of a s**t-ton of misinformation. That being said, the mis-info makes it that much more fun to read through. Ladies and germs, I give you, Thomas Weisser's <i><b>ASIAN CULT CINEMA</b></i>.</div>

While in HK, I made it a sure point to visit some HK filming locales. I consulted a few cool blog/websites, like <a href="http://hongkongonfilm.blogspot.com/">HONG KONG ON FILM</a>, and asked a few Facebook friends who either live in or have visited HK. One friend joked that ALL of HK was a filming locale. At the time, I just thought he was being a smart ass but while in situ, I immediately saw that he was speaking the truth. So, while making our daily itinerary I was able to insert some locales to hit up while on our walkabouts. Does the building above look familiar?<br />
<br />
On the left, circa 1992, it was the tea house, where the infamous Chow Yun-fat shootout (my favorite action sequence ever!) took place in John Woo's <b>HARD BOILED</b>. It's located at the intersection of Soy St. and Shanghai St., in Mongkok. Today it has cutesy little puppies painted all over it. Oy vey. <br />
<br />

This location was one of my own design and I'm not quite sure if its the exact locale. The similarity in the 'SAN FRANCISCO' neon sign on the right point to me being correct. But lets just say it is because the film that it's from is a raw classic. While pounding through the seediness of night time Wanchai with my wife and a friend, I located Club San Francisco, on Lockhart Rd.. On the left, circa 1988 in <b>HER VENGENACE</b>, It was the club where Pauline Wong and Lam Ching-ying worked. Today, it's all shiny and updated and ready for some dirty after dark, low down trade. <br />

Ok. Not the greatest shot of this location and really nothing to write home about, but while on a walking tour with a friend on our last full day in HK, he directed me toward Tom Lee Music on Cameron Ln., in Tsim Sha Tsui. Above, left, is a scene from Johnnie To's <b>PTU</b> made in 2003. Thirteen years later, Tom Lee Music, or the building it's in, appears to be going through some renovations. <br />

And here, at the intersection of Temple St. and Kansu St. in Yau Ma Tei, is a locale from Herman Yau's exceptional 2007 film, <b>WHISPERS AND MOANS</b>.<br />

This locale is also located in Yau Ma Tei, and since our hotel was only a few blocks away, we passed by a few times. It's the quite HK film infamous Yau Ma Tei Police Station. Above, clockwise, Shu Qi in <b>PORTLAND STREET BLUES</b> (1998), me-being a silly ninny (2013), <b>ELECTION</b> (2005), and <b>DR. LAMB</b> (1992). I would like to extend my great thanks, once again, to <a href="http://hongkongonfilm.blogspot.com/">HONG KONG ON FILM</a>, for use of the above pics.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
As we traipsed around the entirety of HK, or what we could get to anyway, I wanted to try to hit up a few of the movie theaters. And, if not actually sit and watch a film there, at least get a pic or two. And I managed to actually do both. Above, and a few pix below, are of the President Theater in Causeway Bay. A friend of ours was taking us on a walking tour through some of the cooler spots on HK island one night before we headed over to the hot-sex-on-a-platter bouillabaisse that is Wanchai and then over to the debauchery of Lan Kwai Fong for some drinks. </div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Back on the Kowloon side, a few friends told me that it was a MUST to take in a movie @ the Dynasty Theater. It's reputably a theater of questionable repute and one of the last bastions of old world HK film theater uncleanliness. Unfortunately, I was only able to take a few pics of the facade. But I'll DEFINITELY make a show there the next time I'm in HK.</div>

The Broadway Cinematheque is in Yau Ma Tei, also on the Kowloon side of HK. It's more of an artsy fartsy theater featuring more international fare. We stayed in Yau Ma Tei so we walked by or were in the area of this theater quite often. We didn't stop in for a show, though. We wanted to check out WKW's <b>THE GRANDMASTER</b>, but, for whatever reason, only a few theaters released it with English subs.</div>

<b> </b>In Tsim Sha Tsui East, on Mody Rd., my wife and I were able to hit up the freshly released <b>YOUNG</b> <b>AND DANGEROUS: RELOADED</b> at the Chinachem Golden Plaza Cinemas. I was also steered here by a friend who touted it's heyday HK movie charm. <b>Y and D: RELOADED</b> was released in theaters in both a IIB and III version. Guess which version we saw? Ha! CAT III all the way. And we enjoyed the just-a-tad-seedy atmosphere of a Sunday night @ the movies. Young punks smoking in the theater and all. Fun movie. GREAT TIMES!</div>

And, finally, our last stop. Here at the Shilin Night Market in Taipei. One of the largest Night Markets in Taiwan. Just before we left the orgy of cooked animal entrails, my wife's cousin, and also our tour guide, pointed out this theater @ the market. We didn't have time to see a flick here, and probably wouldn't have made it through without a toilet break or two after gorging ourselves with every little bit of marinated animal bits and pieces know to this earth. But, <b>THE GRANDMASTER </b>was playing.</div>

Maybe?Hola! I haven't been around and/or felt much like blogging in a while. That feeling still has a hold on me and I'm thinking about packing this blog in. I still collect/blow my hard earned money on HK/Taiwanese cinema garbage every chance I get but blogging about it seems such a chore. I'm very active on Facebook and still post all sorts of HK/Taiwan movie stuffs over on my FB page on a daily basis. The audience and response seems to fit me better over there. If you are not on FB, tis a shame, but if you are and you are not currently one of my FB 'friends', let me know and maybe we can rectify that. That is if you still want to follow my HK/Taiwan cinema shenanigans. <br />
<br />
Anyway, real life has been a roller coaster lately. My wife and I just got back from our honeymoon in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Those vacation pictures will be going up soon over on Facebook. So, come join me there. You may have disdain for FB, or other social websites for that matter, but I cannot stress to you all enough how much networking on FB has enriched my life. I have met some of the greatest people, with similar interests, that really make me happy on a daily basis. If you check out my upcoming Hong Kong vacation pics, you'll see why. To make networking on FB more appealing, here is a list of what I have acquired on my vacation to HK, mostly ALL due to FB:<br />
<br />
96 VCD's<br />
12 LD's<br />
14 DVD's<br />
36 posters<br />
8 new friends<br />
3 actor/actress spottings on the street<br />
Drinks with a HK film director<br />
<br />
All because of FB. Seriously. It was a vacation to end all vacations. So, come join our merry band on HK/Taiwan cinema loving idiots over on FB. It will most definitely be worth your while. And to whet your appetite on the silliness that goes on over there, check me out in Hong Kong....<br />

Leave it to U.S. distribution companies to shit on a foreign film with lazy advertising. Jackie Chan's <i><b>RUMBLE IN THE BRONX </b></i>was his re-entry into the territory so you would think that a nice, big, happy Jackie mug, big ass schnoz and all, would adorn ALL of the films adverts. Negatory, good buddy. The poster above only shows his fist. Is it even his fist? Maybe his schnoz <i>was</i> too big?!<br />

Ok. This one is a tad better. It's still shit, but it actually has Chan attached too 'his' fist. And two Jackie's at that! By the by, <i><b>TWIN DRAGONS </b></i>happens to be my most favorite JC flick. You can keep your <b><i>DRAGONS FOREVER</i></b> and <b><i>MEALS ON WHEELS</i></b>. <b><i>TWIN DRAGONS</i></b> is where it's at. I'll save my reasoning for a sooner rather than later date, as my blogger/Facebook buddy A Hero Never Dies, has undertook quite an endeavour, polling other friendly bloggers on what their top 10 favorite HK films are. My list has been submitted and you'll all soon find out. Hint: there are CAT III movies on the list.<br />

I still remember when JC's <b><i>GORGEOUS </i></b>debuted on cable. It was a six pack Natty Light night. I was already pants down into Shu Qi and just couldn't wait to sit, watch, and wonder what my life would be life with her. She's such a super lady. Only outclassed by a-one Ms. Maggie Cheung. And Ms. Cheug is in <b><i>TWIN DRAGONS</i></b>! Score! In that electric blue wig. Yowza! Nom nom nom nom nom.<br />

Another Sammo Hung Kam-bo project sans the rotund one himself in front of the camera. Instead of occupying the directors chair, as he did with <i><b>SPOOKY, SPOOKY</b></i> (find a few posts down), Hung produces this late 80's action-drama and hires out his stunt team so they can pay the rent. <br />
<br />

Unfortunately, <i><b>INTO THE FIRE</b></i>, despite Hung's hand and this absolutely cool looking poster, is largely lackluster. This is Sammo's first and only foray into the CAT III realm of the dirty, alas, no nipples on display. Just foul Cantonese. Colin Chou and Chin Siu-ho play brothers caught up in the dark side of HK and are actually finely cast, both for their martial skills as well as their young stud looks. Both are incredibly wasted as turgid drama just blankets the film only sputtering out action few and far between. Nonsensical considering this is a Hung production with two capable martial leads. Also cast in the film in a rather meaty role is the the then newcomer, my pixie cutie-pie sweetheart, and usual CAT III sexpot, Chan Wing-chi. Chan was busy back in good ol' '89 as <i><b>INTO </b><b>THE FIRE</b></i> was her 7th film that year. In the coming years, Chan lovingly turning her attention to the seedier side of Chinese Hollywood.

Sorry for the brief non-HK movie post. But I thought this garbage was worthy of a show and tell. As I have mentioned before, I finally made the move to the new house. Over the past few weeks I've been breaking my back and producing copious amounts of swamp ass juice moving house during the dog days of summer. Lucky me. Along with moving my HK movies out of storage and into their new home I also climbed up into my mother's attic (No, that's not a euphemism you sickos) and brought on home my collection of non HK movies and posters. <br />

The posters I've pictured here I don't even remember buying? They must have come in an Ebay lot. Save for <i><b>CHAMPION OF DEATH</b></i>, I've never even heard of these movies. This must have been a 4 a.m., shit faced Ebay purchase. Why the heck would I buy these crap posters?<br />

I read somewhere that <i><b>SHANGHAI NOON</b></i> was modeled after this film. NO. Not really. </div>

Starring Black Jack Chan! Get out! You don't say?! "These turkeys fight dirty. Black Jack gets mean. He kicks not their legs, but just in between." Ha! I must track this down. Is this even a real movie? This just goes to prove, malt liquor and Ebay after hours do not mix. You've been warned. Kingwho?http://www.blogger.com/profile/02474560455739504154noreply@blogger.com3
