We continue our examination of the filmography of one of Hong Kong’s unsung directorial heroes, Nam Nai-choi.

Here you’ll find  the commentary on You Tube timed to video.

Strap yourselves in even AFTER watching Lau Kar-wing’s multi-mood classic Scared Stiff as the commentary by Stoo and Ken attempts to deconstruct this wild one out of the busy Hong Kong cinema scene of the 80s. Remember the robot thrusting motion come ending time…

Ken’s note: I meant to say Yuen Wah worked as action director at Shaw’s for a while, not director.

Just to get the excitement up to lethal levels, here you’ll find the rather insane trailer to the even more insane Scared Stiff by Lau Kar-wing. Made in 1987 and starring Miu Kiu-wai, Eric Tsang and with an appearance by the hard working Chow Yun-fat,  in the Hong Kong cinema tradition the trailer reveals a lot so proceed at your own risk if you haven’t yet had the pleasure to screen the film. You owe it to yourself and coming soon you can hear Stoo and Ken’s Commentary On Fire on said flick!

Those of you wonderful folks who also joined the forums will also get a chance to TODAY hear to  our commentary on the trailer! If you want to access this exclusive extra, just complete the simple registration on the forums. Read the rest of this entry »

Sans Mike Banner, Stoo and Ken are joined by James Aylmore but before, Ken feels the need to spoil the entire plot of Scared Stiff (starring Eric Tsang, Miu Kiu-Wai and Chow Yun-Fat) so if you desperately want to avoid hearing about its ending (you should in some ways avoid the flick to tell you the truth), skip listening between 00:03:00 to the 00:20:00. We will then be back to discuss the latest development in the already old Edison Chen Sexy Photo Gate. Next development: You’re off the island, son!
