Posts Tagged ‘Shaw Brothers’

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.

What do you mean this picture has nothing to do with the show!!

Ken hosts just because he can and aside from discussing in depth our last movies watched and Stoo admitting he’s found his new Dragon Tiger Gate, the trio takes us through thoughts on if Shaw Brothers movies got any chance on the UK dvd market. It’s fun and illuminating, kidz. Read the rest of this entry »

Couldn’t decide what to use as cover art, so when in doubt…

The Magnificent Trio does need to discuss Silverhawk a little bit but rightfully time is spent on the only vaguely official announcement that Shaw Brothers movies are hitting dvd in Hong Kong again. With a list that will wet anyone’s appetite, is it safe to assume this boner-inducing list of movies will produce actual dvd releases? Mike also recommends a lot of Mainland Chinese Martial arts and a lot of movies in general while Stoo gets a title to go with his supreme Young And Dangerous-knowledge. Acronyms are fun.
