I have heard a lot of great things, though. I have spent way to much time and energy on HK cinema that I rarely stray from it. I have, however, seen a few Japanese film that fit my sensibilities. Like 'Entrails of a Virgin.' <br /><br />I have not heard of the 'Rica' films but I did a quick search to learn a little more and I am intrigued. I could definitely try those on for size.<br /><br />Thanks for pointing me in a good direction. I will give the films a go. Have you seen any other Pink films? Recommend any others?<br /><br />Thanks again!Kingwho?https://www.blogger.com/profile/02474560455739504154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788280764985772675.post-34861348557469958642010-10-27T14:52:16.742-07:002010-10-27T14:52:16.742-07:00I have a general inquiry, Kingwho?!
Have you seen...I have a general inquiry, <b>Kingwho?</b>!<br /><br />Have you seen a trio of '70s Japanese <i>"pink"</i> movies from Toho centered on a character named Rica (played by <b>Rika Aoki</b>), a lady who's half Japanese and half caucasian?<br /><br />I found a 3-DVD set at a <b>Fry's</b>; it's from Exploitation Digital (packaging suggests it's a product from an off-shoot of Media Blasters). So far, I've watched the first one (<b>Rica</b>), and it turned out better than I thought it would! It was more violent than it was <i>"pink"</i>, which is a good thing!<br /><br />If you've seen these, let me know. Otherwise, I might've found you something new to watch!R.A.M.'67https://www.blogger.com/profile/12817535165296807817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788280764985772675.post-70942636634428431902010-10-22T23:17:52.958-07:002010-10-22T23:17:52.958-07:00No problem, achillesgirl.

I think it's pretty neat to see the then and now pics as well. And my banner is a common sight in restaurant windows in NYC Chinatown. When the pig is smiling I think that means that the food is good?! =)<br /><br />Shih-yu, I have seen a few Shaw films that have utilized actual locations as well. I don't tend to watch many Shaw martila arts pictures but more of the 70's social dramas/comedies/erotic films that seemed to use actual locations a lot more.<br /><br />As for Porky, he was delicious! =)Kingwho?https://www.blogger.com/profile/02474560455739504154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788280764985772675.post-56189614620788600522010-10-22T08:54:51.886-07:002010-10-22T08:54:51.886-07:00Great "now" shots of "then" lo...Great <i>"now"</i> shots of <i>"then"</i> locations for <b>The Chinatown Kid</b>!<br /><br />Indeed, some Shaws utilized location filming that went beyond a couple of establishing shots, <b>Kingwho?</b>! <b>Four Riders</b> (a <b>Chang Cheh</b> film) showed off a lot of South Korean scenery, and <b>Heroes of the East</b> (a <b>Lau Kar Leung</b> film) had some nice footage taken in Japan!<br /><br />As for your new banner...what have you got against <b>Porky Pig</b>? ;o)R.A.M.'67https://www.blogger.com/profile/12817535165296807817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-788280764985772675.post-71343984978016341882010-10-22T08:00:58.965-07:002010-10-22T08:00:58.965-07:00Thanks for the then-and-now pics, kingwho!

Maybe it's because I was walking up Grant Avenue yesterday on my lunch break. ;D<br /><br />Don't make me wait to long for the other SF pics.<br /><br />BTW, love your new banner!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
