- 13 - Episode Twelve - Monkey man (2024) and Taxi Hunter (1993)
Its another double feature! Dev Patel's directorial debut just came out and we could not stop ourselves from talking about its hong kong influences as well as what the movie brings to a table crowded with John Wick wannabes. Spoiler alert, we don't think its a John Wick type movie, but come find out what else we have to say about it. Then, we follow it with a look into Taxi Hunter, a 1993 "category 3" movie directed by Herman Yau and featuring the legendary Anthony Wong. Its a movie with a lot of charm but also a good occasion to look into Category 3 movies, what they are, and the movie's lineage in the vigilante genre alongside Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver released in 1976 and Joel Schumacher's Falling down, also released in 1993!

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 - 2h 02min - 12 - Episode Eleven - Dragon Ball & Magic Crystal (1986)
Hey, your favourite podcast is back but this time our "intro" counts for so much of the actual episode we decided it would be a double bill since we could not mention how much Akira Toriyama, the genius and legendary mangaka [who passed away earlier this month](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68444060), influenced us. So, to start of the episode, we talk for an hour about what Dragon Ball, Dr Slump, Dragon Quest and his influences did to us, and we hope you'll forgive this disruption to our usual conversation about Hong Kong cinema as it felt important to us to remember such an important part of our childhood. Following our tribute, we are talking about the movie Magic Crystal, an action/scifi/comedy by none other than Wong Jing (God of Gamblers) featuring Andy Lau, Cynthia Rothrock and many more. This adventure takes from many sources as you will hear but end up an interesting ride and a good excuse to talk about this director's output and a more commercial side of Hong Kong cinema . As always, thank you for listening and let us know via our various pages what you thought of the episode. Additional resources: [Magic Crystal](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091532/) on imdb This episode features in the background the song [Pour le plaisir](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fy-h6QcfkE) by Herbert Leonard and the theme from Stephen Chow's [Shaolin Soccer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1F8fJrwDwo) by Andy Lau. We also want to point you to the amazing performance by Andy Lau, surrounded by a group of Ultraman, performing [the cantonese theme song for City Hunter](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkEKMvO3Jzk).

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 - 1h 59min - 11 - Episode Ten - Prison on Fire (1987)
We are back, and with a gift! On our tenth episode, we are not only covering Ringo Lam's 1987 classic prison drama, Prison on fire, but we are also offering you to win a copy of [L'Incendiaire](https://aardvarkeditions.com/produit/ringo-lam-lincendiaire/), a deep dive into Ringo Lam's career, by french journalist Sebastian Lecoq. The caveat? Its in french, so only a few of our listeners will be interested, so... sorry about that? But, if you want this book for yourself or for someone else, keep listening until the end of the episode (or skip, that's also possible, I guess) . Now, back to Prison on Fire. A harrowing movie featuring our idol, the one and only, Chow Yun-fat and the nonetheless excellent Tony Ka Fei Lung. This classic might not be as well known internationally as its predecessor, City on Fire, but its an unforgettable piece of cinema history and a prime example of Ringo Lam's talent as a director. We hope you enjoy.

Tue, 20 Feb 2024 - 1h 56min - 10 - Episode Nine - From Beijing with Love (1994)
We are back! And what better way to start the new year with a solid comedy from the 1990s? This is the first time we are talking about Stephen Chow, mostly known outside of Hong Kong for Shaolin soccer and Kung-fu Hustly, but Wing chosed From Beijing with Love and Mathieu was quite happy to discover this hommage and parody of James Bond movie drenched with more subtle nods to Wong Kai Wai and a classic figure of Chinese literature. We also start this episode with an half hour discussing the merits of the Mortal kombat series in relation to martial arts and why Mortal Kombat 11's story mode is "a better time travel story than Avengers Endgame". We hope you enjoy this first episode for 2024, let us know what you think by sending us messages on our Instagram or on bluesky, and tell your friends, family, pets, and colleagues about us.

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 - 1h 43min - 9 - Episode Eight .five - Silent night (2023)
Surprise! We might have said we were taking a break until January... or at least that's what we told each other... but, the new John Woo movie came out in the theater in the Netherlands, Mat watched it and he had to tell Wing and you all about it. Its... well, it certainly is a movie, so I won't spoil anything but we hope you will enjoy us talking about it. This episode is shorter, or was supposed to be shorter, but we ended up talking about Mortal Kombat 11 at the end. That's what you get with a Christmas special, a whole lot of fun and nonsense. So, enjoy this episode 8.5 and see you in January for a return to our regular programming with more classic Hong Kong productions.

Tue, 19 Dec 2023 - 59min - 8 - Episode Eight - Righting wrongs (1986)
Its almost time for the winter holidays and what best movie to watch than an ass kicking martial movie featuring two underrated legends in a memorable movie with so many endings you could pick anything to fit the mood of the day? Righting wrongs is the second Corey Huen movie for us after Yes, madam. In Righting wrongs he teams up once again with Cynthia Rothrock, alongside the legendary Yuen Biao, for an action packed story where law and justice clash when a cop and a vigilante lawyer end up chasing the same criminal. Our conversation around the movie starts at 30 minutes in the episode after we discuss the values of the recent [Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1967260/Double_Dragon_Gaiden_Rise_Of_The_Dragons/) video game and the documentary [Enter the clones of Bruce Lee](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt27331483/), directed by David Gregory. A little warning for listeners who want to avoid spoilers, we discuss the endings at length from 1hour 30 minutes to 50 minutes. However, don't miss at the end the pationate plea from Wing to give us a time machine and direct a Hong Kong Daredevil adaptation!

Wed, 22 Nov 2023 - 2h 01min - 7 - Episode Seven - Magic Cop (1990)
Spooky season is upon us so we felt it was our duty to shine a light on a... sort of spooky movie? Magic cop is an action/comedy about cops dealing with the super-natural. Who would have guessed that? Needless to say, the plot is paper thin but the movie is packed with surprises and magic fight scenes perfectly orchestrated by a young film director, Wei Tung. The man later pursued a career as an action director for stunts, and Magic Cop demonstrates very well his talent in this domain. As for the cast, we found a familiar face at the front, the legendary Lam Ching-ying, from classics such as the Mr Vampire series of films, Encounters of a spooky kind 1 and 2, or Hocus Pocus. A specialist of the super-natural with a perfect set of eyebrows. Are you not entertained?

Wed, 25 Oct 2023 - 1h 08min - 6 - Episode Six - The Police Story Trilogy (1985, 1988, 1992)
You can't do a podcast on Hong Kong action cinema and not talk about Jackie Chan. That's impossible. Its forbidden. So, to talk about the great man and his passion for death defying stunts, we choose to talk about not one, not two, but three movies among the ones he did in the great city of Hong Kong, namely the first three Police Story movies. If you've not seen them or only seen the first one (the one with the mall fight scene, you know the one we are talking about), now is your chance to hear how they compare to each other, what are the trademarks of the series and what makes Jackie Chan a great stunt man but a terrible boyfriend.

Mon, 25 Sep 2023 - 1h 44min - 5 - Episode Five - The Killer (1989)
Episode five is up and today we are talking about THE movie most people think about when they talk about action films in Hong Kong cinema. The Killer is certainly an iconic film of this era and of the Heroic bloodshed genre, but its also a movie often perceived only as an gun feast when it carries so much more. Today we intend to dig into The Killer and why it's still unique and influential to this day.

Mon, 07 Aug 2023 - 1h 40min - 4 - Episode Four - The Mission (1999)
Epside four is up and its turn for us to move out of the 80s and talk about a 90s classic, Johnnie To's The Mission. Although hard to find outside of a very good french DVD edition from 2002 which is probably difficult to find nowadays, The Mission is a classic worthy of spending the time necessary to get a copy any way possible. Hopefully this gem will be reissued at some point. The movie deals with a group of criminals who are assembled to protect a gang leader targeted for unknown reasons by other hired killers. The team slowly bonds and becomes a unit but obstacles will stand in their way.

Fri, 30 Jun 2023 - 1h 35min - 3 - Episode three - Eastern condors (1987)
Episode three! And this time we are switching to another legend of Hong Kong's cinema with Sammo Hung's Eastern Condors, a movie he stared in and directed alongside his future wife Joyce Godenzi. This war movie set in Vietnam tells the story of twelve convicts forced to accomplish a dangerous mission. The movie follows some American tropes and switches between comedy and drama in-between some incredible action scenes.

Wed, 31 May 2023 - 1h 45min - 2 - Episode Two - Royal Warriors (1986)
For this second episode, we are following Michelle Yeoh's career after Yes, Madam and moving to Royal Warriors, alongside Michael Wong (Z Storm, City Hunter) and Hiroyuki Sanada (John Wick 4, Ringu) for an action movie that's full of fridging and memorable action scenes but low on character development and directed by three pair of hands, one official and two "unofficial".

This is our first episode and to introduce our podcast, we are talking about **Yes, Madam** from 1985, Oscar Winner **Michelle Yeoh**'s (Everything Everywhere All At Once, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) first action movie in Hong Kong as lead actress and martial artist Cynthia Rothrock (Lady Dragon, Righting Wrongs). Yes, Madam is responsible for starting the trend of Girl with Guns movies where women were the leading stars. *Additional resources* [Yes, Madam on IMDB ](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093229/) [List of the 5th Annual Hong Kong Film Awards ](https://www.lovehkfilm.com/features/hkfa_1985.htm) [Q&A with Cynthia Rockrock](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwRg7myS-aM) Our contact details @BronzeHk on Twitter (in English) https://bronzebothk.wordpress.com/ (in English) @Hororo on Twitter (in French and English) https://delayanddistortion.com/ (in French)
