So here we are… ready to rip apart another actor akin to what we did with Alan Tam. But we judged his filmography fairly ultimately and that’s what we’re going to do across a number of episodes for George Lam as well. Dubbed The George Lam Defaming Sessions where we determine if he’s Lam Or Lame. First up, Tsui Hark pits George Lam and Teddy Robin against each other in Cinema City’s wild comedy All The Wrong Clues (For The Right Solution) and Ann Hui finishes off her examination of Vietnam in Boat People. With Kenny B and Phil G of Eastern Film Fans.

We go back and examine Tsui Hark’s groundbreaking special effects extravaganza Zu: Warriors From The Magic Mountain to see whether its Chinese roots mixed with Western special effects knowhow still has a place in Hong Kong cinema history and Sammo Hung reverses kung fu comedy tropes while also making his characters rage and beat the crap out of each other in exemplary fashion… in his 1980 movie The Victim.

We love Tsui Hark in loony bit parts. What about a feature then? We’ll discuss and review his role, the pairing with John Shum and a robotic Sally Yeh in I Love Maria from 1988. Also, somewhere along the way Wong Jing wanted to a Street Fighter movie. Only he couldn’t. So he still did it. Starring Dicky, Andy, Simon, Jacky, Chingmy, we’ll also review his 1993 action-comedy Future Cops. With Kenny B and Paul Fox of the East Screen West Screen podcast.
