There’s always moans and groans whenever remakes are announced and maybe there was in the early 90s as well when The Bare-Footed Kid was announced for remake. The original 1975 Shaw Brothers classic by Chang Cheh was getting an upgrade for modern audiences, this time helmed by Johnnie To but still at Shaw Brothers and starring singer/actor Aaron Kwok. So we thought we’d take this op to discuss both, maybe not make it into a vs match but comparisons are inevitable when Kenny B and our resident Shaw Brothers afficionado Mike Maley discuss both.

It’s a tribute to those who died this episode, some way before this episode was even recorded, some fairly recently. And we come at this with a Shaw Brothers tint as we will discuss two of the most enduring martial arts classics in the form of King Boxer directed by Jeng Cheong-woh from 1972 and Lau Kar-leung’s The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter from 1984. With Kenny B and special guest host Mike Maley, discussing the impact and lives of the movies and players.

After the sad news this week about legendary filmmaker and martial artist Lau Kar-leung passing away, we thought it would be fitting that the next Cast From The Past (a series of shows lost from our iTunes feed and website) would be this one from 2008 featuring Kenny B, Stoo with a throat infection, Mike Banner and special guest and Lau Kar-leung fan Mike Maley. Amidst praise for the late Pops, the crew also tears Kung Pow: Enter The Fist a new one, talk about fighting Westerners in Hong Kong films and if Maggie Q is an actual talent or not.
