In our ongoing conversations about classic Hong Kong cinema, the turn has come to Sammo Hung’s Pedicab Driver and Ringo Lam’s City On Fire! Hear Kenny B and Phil G of Eastern Film Fans discuss Sammo’s beloved and quite unavailable actioner and there’s also a late breaking reveal from rights holder Warner Brothers. Dr. Lam and Tom K-W join Kenny B in the second half for their take on the undercover drama classic and offer up their views on the whole City On Fire/Reservoir Dogs connection and “controversy”.

We’ve reached the part of the coverage where you recognize the movie we cover, the one that almost always enters a discussion of cool Hong Kong horror, splatter and adventure flicks. Nam Nai-choi was behind one such and it’s the subject of discussion this episode… The Seventh Curse! Chow Yun-fat, pipes, bazookas, flying baby worm monsters and blood curses. Strap in as Ken, David and Tom analyze the movie containing some of the best work of certain acting legends.

On this episode of Commentary on Fire we will be missing out on the deep Swedish knowledge of Kenneth Brorsson but he’s replaced by four Scottish blokes who have never heard of Nam Nai-Choi! Stewart invites 3 of his friends around to watch the wackiest B-Movie around: The Seventh Curse (or by the end of the night The Kentucky Fried Curse). This might make no sense at all but it is just a wee experiment.

If you don’t own the Universe dvd used for the commentary, our audio set to video from said dvd is available now via the The You Tube Edition! Link to the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLF58FAE5BD2CDDF84&feature=viewall
