Commentary On Fire 4: Scared Stiff (1987)
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…

For those without the dvd, the commentary is available timed to video, via this playlist link or the video below:
