This week, Kenny B and Tom K-W go in depth on the upcoming show Taiwan Noir, Tom contemplates doing a Ken-free commentary (cue cheer from the audience!) as well as covering a film from the director who was kidnapped by Kim Jong-il! The week’s main review is ‘Hong Kong Top Gun’ (kinda) aka King Lee’s Proud & Confidence starring Andy Lau. Somewhat homoerotic behaviour (which is healthy of course) follows with lots of Dick coming your Wei and even Scud logically finds a place in the discussion!

This week you get the regular network updates plus Ken reveals a little about the creation of two new shows. Jackie Chan’s 1911 get the Hong Kong Dave treatment while Tom’s pick of the week, Benny Chan’s Shaolin, gets the Ken treatment who’s still fuming over New Police Story.

We got hit up a yesterday with the brand spanking new look to Jade Screen Magazine! Pretty pretty right? (Click here for Enlarge Image) Jade Screen is the bi-monthly Asian Action Magazine! Augusts issue is draped with Andy Lau from Detective Dee with interviews with both Andy Lau and Tsui Hark.

There is also a Young and Dangerous article penned by yours truly! NO! Not Ken! He’s no even watched it yet! If you read my Young and Dangerous article from Impact Magazine back in 2007, this is a updated re-written version, sort of; Young and Dangerous article 2.0!

They’ve also covered Sex and Zen 3D and it’s arrival to UK Shore this September! Can’t wait, right?

The Magazine costs £3.95 and can be found in all good newsagants (and some shit ones!) or you can buy it directly from Jade-Screen.Com

We extend our coverage of the Jackie Chan 90s Special (available HERE) with a commentary on the often hated, sometimes hailed ensemble prison drama, co-starring Sammo Hung, Tony Leung and Andy Lau. For shits and giggles, Stoo and Ken decides to NOT prepare with any research. An experiment that may mean our worst commentary yet? If you don’t have the Hong Kong Legends dvd, we offer up the commentary timed to video of the movie so no one is left out. Conveniently arranged in a playlist HERE (that also includes our four previous commentaries), below you’ll see the first out of 10 parts.

Wang Bo (Andy Lau) and Wang Li (Rene Liu) should have made the perfect Bonnie and Clyde: the former a seasoned con man and master pickpocket from Hong Kong, the latter a grifter femme fatale from Taiwan. Partners in crime and passion, the couple swindle their way across China, until one fine day Li suddenly decides to call it quits, both to her egregious lifestyle and to her entanglement with Bo. It is at this crossroad in their lives and relationships that they run into Fu Gen in a train station.

An encounter that will alter their fate forever. Read the rest of this entry »

Resurrection of the Dragon is a mainly fictional historical epic of legendary soldier Zhao Yun. It follows his life from a simple foot soldier to his death.

Personally I enjoyed this film despite its flaws. It is historically inaccurate, the costumes are totally wrong and they cast a Eurasian actress (Maggie Queue) as a fictional grand daughter of Cao Cao. (thank you IMDB). Read the rest of this entry »
