Podcast On Fire 365: Once Upon A Time In China

Tsui Hark’s Once Upon a Time in China marked a turning point for the Hong Kong martial arts film, bringing Wong Fei-hung back to the screen in a form that felt both rooted in legend and thoroughly modern. Kenny B is joined by Mike Scott from the A4E podcast (Linktree) to discuss the film’s production, historical context, action choreography, themes, alternate versions, and lasting influence on Hong Kong cinema.

Podcast On Fire 235: Master Wong Vs Master Wong & Till Death Do We Scare

pofMASTERWONGTILLDEATH

The Alan Tam Crapping Hour concludes. First up, the sequel to Once Upon A Time A Hero In China called Master Wong Vs Master Wong. Featuring Alan Tam as a rather useless Wong Fei Hung and really the Wong Fei Hung no one asked for but we got anyway. To cap it all off, we go back to 1982 and ghost-comedy shenanigans from Cinema City with an added special effects make-up talent from the West in the form of Tom Savini. We therefore conclude the Alan Tam series with our review of Till Death Do We Scare. With Kenny B and Eastern Film Fans.co.uk head honcho Phil G.
