Phat Mack Eyeballs The Flicks

Ong-Bak (2003) Mud People Staring at a tree: check. Stunningly photographed: check King of the mountain in said tree: I’m glad we didn’t think of this game when I was a kid. If we can recover Ong-Bak: Young Ting. Trigger warning: Asians playing baccarat. Strung out Gambler-chick: I have double 9. Parkour Fu: check Knives for sale: check. Ting runs on shoulders: Looney Tunes. Big Bear Fu; Beer sign Fu; Refrigerator Fu; Penny Fu; Underwater Fu; Rope Fighting Fu: check. Tracheostomy Smoking: check. Burmese Junkie Fu; Six-rigs-at-a-time Fu; Fire Fu; Lots of Instant Replay Fu; Sword Fu; We’re back to Rope Fighting Fu; Buddha Head Fu: check. Ultra Noir Cinematography. I've only seen two Thai films, as far as I can remember, and they both knocked my socks off: this one and Chocolate. The both really get noir right. And a little googling tells me that they both have the same director and choreographer. The worldwide rights were purchased by Luc Besson who released District B13 a year later

Wolf Guy (1975), starring Sonny Chiba The tiger is coming: To kill me! Who is: Shinichi Chiba?! Stunts by: Japan Action Club! All 3 members of the Mobs were: Slashed to death! Motorcycle Fu! Knife Fu! Tiger Fu! Wolf Fu! Lick-the-blood-off-the-fingers Fu! Yakuza Fu! Syphilis Fu! Politician Fu! (Hard to distinguish from Syphilis Fu!) 15th-day-of-the-lunar-cycle Fu! More Tiger Fu! Shibaraku Fu! JCIA Fu! Hypnotism Fu! Tomato-juice-blood-transfusion Fu! Werewolf Fu!!! Suck that gut in! Keystone Kop Fu! Katie’s-dying-words Fu! Wolf Howl Fu! Shotgun Fu! Mini-skirted-hillbilly-girl Fu! My name is Taka: I was named after your mother! My name is Taka: And off go my clothes! My name is Taka: Let my body give you some relief! Nursing Memories: Wolf Guy and 1Q84! Miki Fu! Jeep Fu! I think the best Sonny Chiba stuff is when he gets to be funny. This isn’t one of his funnier ones, but it’s still pretty good--on par with, say, Wandering Ginza She-Cat Gambler--Part II, etc. Check it out!
