Ah…. it’s always oh so lovely when it’s The Magnificent Trio on air again! So welcome back Mike Banner to the Podcast On Fire Network! Also, we know the following questions are continually hovering inside and around people’s heads so we thought we’d answer them: Is Yuen Biao Better than Sammo and Jackie, how is Tony Jaa, where is Edison Chen and what is the ZiiEagle? Pardon the sound quality of the show (this stuff was all too good to lose), in particular from Ken’s end and do note Stoo switches to his iPhone 30 mins into the show so that’s why his sound quality worsens.

Now this is where the list gets serious. There might be a Donnie Yen or Ekin flick squeezed in the next twenty movies, but come on… I run this shit!

The top of the countdown can be found here, then our countdown went through the 30s spots, here and last week I released a post consisting of a lot of Ekin/Donnie Flicks, which can be found here.

The conclusion will be posted on 31st December, in time to welcome the new year. Read the rest of this entry »

Looks lovely eh? Get’s me in the Christmas mood!

When the Magnificent Trio went to form @ POF HQ, it turned out it was just Stoo! So Stoo enlisted James Aylmore as guest host the show for a change! It turns out that Ken’s chasing Kaiju and Mike was catching up on some homework. Cheeky Buggers!

We discuss last movies watched, which turns into a mini Japan on Fire.

The main of the show is our discussion of the news regarding Cine-Asia striking a deal with Dragon Dynasty. Tune in and Contact us!

Cine-Asia prepare for their next big DVD Release this month. Already playing in selected cinemas across the United Kingdom, Ip Man (Winner of Best Picture & Best Action Choreography at the 2009 HKFAs) starring Donnie Yen (fan favorite!), Simon Yam (Election & The Sparrow) and Fan Siu-Wong (Righting Wrongs & The Story of Ricky) and directed by Wilson Yip (Dragon Tiger Gate and Bullets over Summer) will most likely be CA’s most popular DVD Release this year.

Being released on two disc DVD (RRP of £15.99) and single disc Blu-Ray (RRP of £19.99) on 26th October.

Special Features include: Trailer Gallery; Interview Gallery; “Making Of” Gallery; Location/Set Design Gallery; Gala Premiere footage; Deleted Scenes Gallery; Cantonese 2.0 and 5.1 (with English subtitles) audio options; Cine Asia trailers.

We’ve spoke about the movie on several occasions on our show as well as a STFU written about it’s awesome fight scenes. If they are not enough for you, check out the awesome trailer here.

As the Stoo is away (enjoying social life instead…Guitar Hero) for the opening of the show there will be no Storm Warriors gushing for our demoted host as Ken and Mike open an echoey (sorry about that) first 12 minutes with trailer discussion of hot movies coming out of Asia. Eventually some of them will reach the UK so the trio share their thoughts and covers the current cinema climate for Asian cinema in the UK. There’s also a feelgood story within in the plugging so join us the entire way through why don’t ya? Also featuring over 12 minutes of deleted conversations that were deleted for a reason. Pish but fun.
