I liked the part with the rickshaw.

A standard martial arts revenge story punctuated by some pretty great fight scenes. I liked the main theme which felt like a cross between a spaghetti western and a christmas carol, but I didn't enjoy the entire screen obnoxiously flashing red while it played.

The first half of the movie took itself seriously, aside from the goofy expressions and noises Bruce Lee was always making, until things took a sharp turn into the bizarre just after the halfway mark, culminating in a truly ridiculous ending. 

The striptease by a woman in a clearly modern bikini was a bit of a tonal shift, but the preceding series of ridiculous looney tunes disguise scenes really threw me. Where in the hell did he get old man makeup in turn of the 20th century Shanghai?

I would have liked to see the other members of his martial arts school do more, or really anything, especially his love interest that I'm pretty sure the script never bothered to actually give a name. At first it seemed there would be an anti-racism message, but it was actually more like Chinese nationalism.

Significantly more silly than I expected, but very good nonetheless.

WHEN TITANS MEET

Shintaro Katsu and Bruce Lee

This could be a doctored photo, but these two icons did meet in Tokyo in the early 1970s. Katsushin was at the height of his popularity as Zatoichi, and Lee was a great admirer of his.

Lee went to Japan to arrange for Katsushin to be his co-star in Fist of Fury (1972), aka The Chinese Connection. The movie is the story of Chen Zen, a fictionalized version of real-life Chinese hero Liu Zhensheng, who fought against the Japanese occupation in early 20th Century Shanghai. Presumably, Katsushin would have been cast as Lee's Japanese nemesis.

Unfortunately, Katsushin was unable to join the cast of Fist of Fury due to his numerous obligations both in front of and behind the camera (his company, Katsu Productions, was going gangbusters at the time with both the Zatoichi and Lone Wolf and Cub film series, as well as several other projects). As a consolation prize, he was able to loan two actors from his stable to Lee - Chikara "Riki" Hashimoto (most famous as the suit actor in the Daimajin trilogy), and Jun Katsumura - to play some of the Japanese villains.

Katsushin really wanted to work with Lee as well, as Lee was fast becoming an international superstar. Unfortunately, Lee passed away in 1973 at the age of 32, and the world never got to see these two titans in action together.

WORLD PREMIER: LES GHOULS - locked away in the vault of Roy Thomas, released for the first time in 65 years for your viewing pleasure!

Les Ghouls is a 12½-minute, mostly black-&-white film made circa 1958 by a group of six teenagers in Jackson, Missouri, including Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich, who went on in the 1960s to become writers and editors at Marvel Comics. It was intended as an homage to/ripoff of the 1948 movie classic Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, just filmed for a lark. It was filmed largely in black-&-white despite the relative difficulty of obtaining that kind of film even then. John Short, who owned the (new) movie camera, served as primary director; Roy Thomas scripted the movie (in synopsis form) and supplied all art and lettering appearing in the film. There were vague plans to eventually either record a soundtrack or to at least have the cast members accompany showings by narration and dialogue, but those plans never materialized.

CAST:

Slim--------------------------------------------------- Gary Friedrich

Slat ---------------------------------------------------- Ron Lowes

Dr. Sturdley ------------------------------------------ Andy Leonard

Melvin ------------------------------------------------ Lyle Hutteger

The Monster ------------------------------------------ John Short

Werewolf ---------------------------------------------- Roy Thomas

Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich went on to become major writers in the comicbook industry.

Roy Thomas was an editor of Marvel from 1965-80, and editor-in-chief from 1972-74. He also scripted runs on such series as X-Men, Avengers, Conan the Barbarian, Savage Sword of Conan, Star Wars, Red Sonja, Kull the Conqueror, Daredevil, Captain Marvel, The Invaders, Incredible Hulk, Sub-Mariner, etc. He also co-created the likes of Wolverine, Carol Danvers (future Captain Marvel), The Vision, Ultron, The Squadron Supreme, The Invaders, Union Jack, Spitfire, Black Knight (Dane Whitman), Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing, Morbius the Living Vampire, Sunfire, Banshee, Valkyrie, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Doc Samson, Brother Voodoo, Warlock, Ghost Rider, Son of Satan, Thundra, Captain 3D, What If, Not Brand Echh, and others. In the ’80s he defected to DC Comics, where he co-created, wrote, and often edited All-Star Squadron, Infinity Inc., Arak – Son of Thunder, Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew!, Young All-Stars, and Jonni Thunder a.k.a. Thunderbolt, as well as writing the likes of Wonder Woman, Shazam!, Superman, Green Lantern, Batman, and Justice League of America. He has also written comics for Topps, Heroic, etc. He co-created both a super-hero comic and a comics-history magazine which were titled Alter Ego. His and wife Dann’s independent series Captain Thunder and Blue Bolt was optioned for a film in the ’90s. He has also written for films, TV animation, and live-action TV.

Gary Friedrich wrote several series runs for Marvel, including Sgt. Fury, Captain America, Nick Fury – Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Frankenstein, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man, Daredevil, [the Western] Ghost Rider, Combat Kelly, Captain Savage, and Captain Marvel—and was the major creator of [the motorcycle-riding, supernatural] Ghost Rider and the co-creator and first writer of Son of Satan. He served as assistant editor at Marvel from late 1966 to 1968. He and Roy Thomas co-created the concept for the Marvel comicbook Not Brand Echh. Gary also wrote for Skywald, Topps, and other comics companies. He passed away in August 2018.

Jackie chan

Jackie Chan, born Chan Kong-sang in 1954 in Hong Kong, is a legendary martial artist, actor, director, stunt performer, and singer. He is widely regarded as one of the most recognizable and influential figures in the history of martial arts cinema. Here's an overview of his life and career:

Early Life and Training: Jackie Chan began his training in martial arts at a young age under the guidance of his father, who worked as a cook and a former spy for the Chinese Nationalist government. He later trained in various martial arts styles, including kung fu, tai chi, and hapkido, at the China Drama Academy, a Peking Opera School in Hong Kong. His rigorous training in acrobatics and martial arts laid the foundation for his future success in the entertainment industry.

Rise to Fame: Chan initially found work as a stuntman and extra in martial arts films in the 1970s, including working as a stunt double for Bruce Lee in "Fist of Fury" (1972) and "Enter the Dragon" (1973). He gained recognition for his acrobatic fighting style and willingness to perform his own stunts, often in dangerous and death-defying situations.

Breakthrough Success: Jackie Chan's breakthrough came with the success of his directorial debut, "The Young Master" (1980), which showcased his comedic timing, acrobatic skills, and innovative fight choreography. He went on to star in a string of successful action-comedy films, including the "Drunken Master" series, "Project A" (1983), "Police Story" (1985), and "Armour of God" (1986), which solidified his status as a leading action star in Asia.

International Stardom: In the 1990s, Jackie Chan achieved international fame with Hollywood films such as "Rumble in the Bronx" (1995), "Supercop" (1996), and the "Rush Hour" series alongside Chris Tucker. His unique blend of martial arts, physical comedy, and stunt work endeared him to audiences worldwide and helped popularize Hong Kong action cinema in the West.

Philanthropy and Cultural Impact: Outside of his film career, Jackie Chan is known for his philanthropic work and advocacy for various charitable causes, including disaster relief, animal welfare, and children's education. He has received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to the entertainment industry and philanthropy, including an honorary Oscar in 2016 for his lifetime achievements in film.

Legacy: Jackie Chan's legacy as a martial artist, actor, and cultural ambassador is unparalleled. He has inspired generations of filmmakers, stunt performers, and martial artists with his innovative approach to action cinema and commitment to pushing the boundaries of physicality and entertainment. His influence on popular culture and the global film industry cements his status as a true icon.

fist of fury(1972)

#not just another day #just watched the best martial arts movie I've ever seen

[romanceyourdemons]

true best part of fist of fury (1972) is the song at the beginning that goes “i use my hands, to hold my fellow man…. i use my hands, to give a kind caress. but when a man chooses to hurt his fellow man…… i change my hands, into fists. fists of fury.” the second-best part is that in the mandarin version (which i couldn’t find unfortunately) petrov was voiced by bruce lee with added reverb

#these old golden harvest films usually i can only find the english dub #which is unfortunate because by and large it’s the least funny dub #anyways my partner and i were riffing on the fists……fists of fury song all night #ryddles
