The Director’s Series 36: Johnny Wang – The Innocent Interloper & Fury

20 August 2022 knetan PODCASTS, The Director's Series, Johnny Wang 01:13:21 0 Comments

After two bloody outings in 1985 at Shaw Brothers, including a shaky mixture of comedy combined with grave violence, Johnny Wang attempts to address the balance by keeping matters light, hard but not brutally gory. Flash forward to the movie after where he starts hurting people again using the heroic bloodshed template. With Kenny B & Tom K-W.

Podcast On Fire 292: Legacy Of Rage

7 March 2020 knetan PODCASTS, Podcast On Fire, Wong Or Wrong 01:28:42 0 Comments

The man with the lack of Cantonese (and according to some, acting ability) but present in classic Hong Kong cinema, Michael Wong has built his image over the years, hitting it big as an SDU officer in the 90s before finding the airways of love. In this series we take a look at 9 of his movies to determine statistically whether he’s any good or not. Therefore, will he be Wong or Wrong in the end? For the opening episode, we’ll be taking a look at a movie where his co-star got the most attention though as son of Bruce Lee Brandon Lee makes his Hong Kong action debut in 1986’s Legacy Of Rage. With Kenny B and Phil G of Eastern Film Fans.

20 April 2019 knetan PODCASTS, Podcast On Fire, The Ekin Hour 01:25:25 0 Comments

First we went after Alan Tam, then we set our sights on defaming George Lam and now we tackle another uneven actor that we’ve perceived as being harmful to the movie viewing experience. The face of Young And Dangerous, Chan Ho-Nam himself: Ekin Cheng. For episode 1, we look at the modestly titled Return To A Better Tomorrow by Wong Jing, featuring Ekin as our gun toting lead and the comic book adaptation Feel 100% about the trials and tribulations of being a twentysomething. With Kenny B and Phil G of Eastern Film Fans.co.uk.

7 October 2016 knetan PODCASTS, Podcast On Fire, The Alan Tam Crapping Hour 01:17:56 0 Comments

pofNORISK

In this episode, No Risk No Gain (Casino Raiders The Sequel, but it isn’t one) pairs up Alan Tam with Andy Lau once again while Wong Jing takes a backseat and Taylor Wong takes his place as co-director. Uh oh. Also in the second half, the Lucky Stars gang…barely appears and we get another lecherous, silly bunch trying to fill 90 minutes of action-comedy. Cue the rape-jokes. And cue the hosts Kenny B and Eastern Film Fans head honcho Phil G.
