Podcast On Fire 87: Mike-Cast 2011

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.

Contact us at podcastonfire at googlemail.com, via our forum, Facebook or Twitter. We’re a friendly bunch and especially watch the forums for exclusive content and announcements!

Podcast on Fire 82: Jackie Chan Special Part 4 – 2000 – ????

The grand finale to our Jackie Chan Season sees Stoo and Ken, with various degrees of pleasantness, tackle New Police Story and Little Big Soldier in detail. Also, Joey Leung of Terracotta Distribution stops by for a chat about Little Big Soldier, the process of premiering it at the 2010 Terracotta Far East Film Festival and we answer the question, what does the future hold for Jackie Chan?

If you’re one of our lucky forum members, you’re also treated to a lengthy extra discussion on Shinjuku Incident but it doesn’t take a lot to be AS lucky as those members. Just visit http://www.podcastonfire.com/forum/ and a short, FREE registration later will get you to this meaty extra as well as countless others!

Commentary on Fire 5: Island of Fire (1990) YouTube Edition

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.

We’ve reached another pivotal point in Jackie’s career, the 90s, and the decade that would define his worldwide status to a HUGE degree.  Featuring a focus on specifically Drunken Master II and Rumble In The Bronx,  Stoo and Ken are also joined by action actor, fight choreographer and action director Chris Jones (http://www.chrisjonesaction.co.uk/) throughout the show. Also interspersed into various parts of the show are contributions from fellow podcasts VCinema, East Screen/West Screen, Joey Leung of Terracotta Distribution plus past guests Brian Kirby (http://www.briankirby.net/) and author John Kreng who all share their thoughts on favourite Jackie Chan movie of the 90s
