It’s our martial arts season finale as we finally get to the movie we’ve mentioned several times during this theme, 1976’s MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE.

Streets of Fire (1984) welcomes director Walter Hill to the hall of BMFcast alums. Michael Paré is a mercenary hired by Rick Moranis to track down his rock singer girlfriend, Diane Lane, who’s been kidnapped by Willem Dafoe. This “Rock & Roll Fable” has style for days, but is the substance enough to push it into… Continue Reading BMFcast378 – Streets of Fire – The Whoopi Rotation The post BMFcast378 – Streets of Fire – The Whoopi Rotation first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

To ease ourselves back into the Shaw Brothers universe we make a quick detour into Golden Harvest territory to cover 1972’s ONE ARMED BOXER, the movie that will then allow us to watch MASTER OF THE FLYING GUILLOTINE.

City Hunter (1993) concludes AniMAY with Jackie Chan starring in a live-action adaptation of the popular manga.

We pumped the brakes and take a detour from our Shaw Brothers-ing to celebrate Fate of the Furious week with two supposed knockoffs: 2007’s Redline and 2003’s Biker Boyz. We learn a lot along the way. The post BMFcast Extra 028 – Redline and Biker Boyz first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

Fist of the North Star (1995) continues AniMAY, with a live-action adaptation of the popular anime/manga. With Gary Daniels, Malcolm McDowell, Chris Penn, Costas Mandylor and Clint Howard supplying lots of kicking, head-exploding and general post-apocalypticness, does it work for us? After the break we discuss Prometheus (2012) in preparation for Alien Covenant (2017), and Chuck makes… Continue Reading BMFcast 376 – Fist of the North Star – Big Lots Guillotine The post BMFcast 376 – Fist of the North Star – Big Lots Guillotine first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

The Shaolin temple gets wrecked, its master is killed, and its students are sent packing. Lots of time passes. People put on plays. They get married. Kids are produced. Every so often, revenge is attempted. The post BMFcast Extra 027 – Executioners From Shaolin first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

Dragonball Evolution (2009) continues AniMAY! It’a a live action (very loose) adaptation of the long-running manga and anime series. Can Chow Yun-Fat, Emmy Rossum, Ernie Hudson, and James Marsters overcome Justin Chatwin being cast as Goku? Or does it not matter because it just turns into a CG mess anyway? In the second half Harlo… Continue Reading BMFcast375 – Dragonball Evolution – Urn-ie Hudson The post BMFcast375 – Dragonball Evolution – Urn-ie Hudson first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

A “modern” setting and the potential for lady kung fu were what lured us into this Shaw Brothers effort, which might have been a mistake. However, one of us still thinks the last 30 minutes of the movie are fantastic. Press play and find out who.

Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos (2015) aka Huevos: Little Rooster’s Egg-cellent Adventure marks the return of AniMAY! A young rooster named Toto must fight to save his owner’s farm. Literally. As in cock-fighting. At least it’s more like boxing, with all the requisite montages and fights one would expect. Is this Spanish-language 3D animated adventure… Continue Reading BMFcast374 – Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos – KUFC The post BMFcast374 – Un Gallo con Muchos Huevos – KUFC first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

A split decision this week as we watch 1972’s THE CASINO, an alternate universe Gambit origin story where the whole world revolves around dice games and ways to cheat at them. Also, kung fu, betrothed wives and revenge! The post BMFcast Extra 024 – The Casino first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

A*P*E (1976) continues APEril in grand tradition with a Korean King Kong knockoff with an incredibly low budget. Can abysmal editing, Joanna Kerns’ screaming, and one very annoyed colonel make everything better? (What do you think!?) In the second half we give our thoughts on the first few episodes of Netflix’s Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return… Continue Reading BMFcast372 – A*P*E – Col.

Random Shaw Brothers flick this week has two kung fu schools battling one another, but then samurais and ninjas get involved. Who has the best kung fu? Well, we do, but these guys are a close second. Also, there’s a lady ninja. The post BMFcast Extra 023 – Five Element Ninjas first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

Link (1986) is the second entry in this year’s APEril celebration. It’s a weird genre blend that eventually becomes a bit of a slasher film as a mad monkey named Link goes after young Elisabeth Shue. Terence Stamp is here to have weird hair. In the second half there’s more Rogue One: A Star Wars Story… Continue Reading BMFcast371 – Link – John Monklane The post BMFcast371 – Link – John Monklane first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

The origin story of this saga had concluded and we desperately wanted to watch the sequel immediately. So we did. And, well… it’s not what you think it’s going to be. That may not be a bad thing though. Tune in for the explanation! The post BMFcast Extra 022 – Return to the 36th Chamber first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

The Mighty Peking Man (1977) begins a brand new APE-ril in Shaw Bros fashion! It may be yet another remake of King Kong, but it’s certainly got that Shaw Bros touch, with random love montages, monster trucks battling a giant ape, and of course, large-scale city destruction. Will all this add up to Jox? After… Continue Reading BMFcast370 – Mighty Peking Man – Mighty Peeking Man The post BMFcast370 – Mighty Peking Man – Mighty Peeking Man first appeared on Bad Movie Fiends Podcast - The BMFcast.

Time for another one of the “big guns”. The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (aka Master Killer) is one of the Shaw Brothers’ biggest hits. When you watch it, you can see why.
