Jimmy Wang Yu was heading away from the eye of Chang Cheh’s by making his own, now classic kung-fu movie The Chinese Boxer and Chang Cheh had found new talents and vision at the end of the 70s that would lead to an impact in global popular culture through his 1978 classic The Five Venoms. The impact of the two works is discussed and dissected by Kenny B, Dr. David Lam and Tom K-W but not before the doctor shares what filth he watched last.

From a scratchy line in Korea, Mike Banner returns and the trio is reunited… for a few minutes before Stoo continues splicing in porn into children’s movies. Meanwhile Mike and Ken do the Network Updates, Last Movies Watched and it naturally becomes a Shaw Brothers show where two of the best directors are discussed. Subjects for the future Director’s Series on the network? Mike also reads the Hong Kong TV-guide.

In times of change, you need to see some naked tits! What this means for Sleazy K and King Who? is a trip down memory lane. Several in fact where we track Hong Kong (and maybe Taiwan) (s)exploitation through the ages and with a little help, we land at 1966′s The Knight Of Knights! Going over a bit of the Shaw Brothers history before getting to the good bits that remains unseen, also making an appearance is Stoo The Innocent One and Last Sleazy Movies Watched offers up a perplexing, horrible exploit of a real event in the name of putting up another sex movie on 90s Hong Kong screens!

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.
