postimage

The Scottish edition of Podcast On Fire with Stoo and Andy carry on with their Once Upon A Time In China coverage, with towel- and flaming arrows action from Jet Li and Donnie Yen. Which can only mean parts 2 and 3 are up for discussion. The audio is a little wonky, but that thankfully should be the last…the last of the wonk.

Interview: Tsui Hark

We had the pleasure of interviewing Hong Kong cinema trendsetter and legend Tsui Hark (the man behind Zu: Warriors From The Magic Mountain, Once Upon A Time In China, Blade, Peking Opera Blues plus much more… not enough can be said so let’s not say too much!) who was kind enough to share with us his thoughts on the past and the now, including on Detective Dee: Mystery Of The Phantom Flame (available now on UK dvd and Blu Ray).

Mike Banner sacrifices sleep to join Stoo and Ken for a bit of formal and informal chat about various bits and pieces including Last Movies Watched covering the inappropriate Happy Hour, City Of Violence and Mike has gone on his patented Shaw run! Mike also gives us a glimpse into his new mostly POF free and cold life but it comes with the advantages of meeting a legendary Hong Kong director on the streets of Seoul. Dance routines are a big disadvantage to life in Korea though…

Guided by a mysterious swordsman (Adam Cheng), Biao must harness the power of two mystical swords; the only weapons on Earth capable of defeating his omnipotent enemy. Read More
