Had some notes to go with that:
#NotesOnAction: from Chantal Akerman’s TOUTE UNE NUIT; how to layer narrative sans exposition, through points in common & repetition; sparse, purposive use of sound/music. Framing, architecture, glimpses of light & neg. space. Expressive & focused.

I went in with high expectations, I think you should, it's Kenji Tanigaki & Kensuke Sonomura, two of the best action designers working today & since, way back. & it delivers, THE FURIOUS is designed for performers that perform on a very high level & everyone rises to the ocassion

We have seen these performers explode onto the screen back when they hit the screen running, it's not a surprise that they can achieve on this level, but it is a gift, it's a fulfillment of a promise, where many wonderful on screen fighter's seldom get that kind of chance again..

to maintain and confirm their place, to not be wasted, or thrown to the side in mediocre, rushed fare, THE FURIOUS is exhilarating in that it gives so much performed at such a high level, I wish I could expect this more often, it's beautiful.

Yup, I am alive AND I am in Stockholm, FURIOUS is still running on a small telly screen in a cupboard here… so I’ going! #ActionTwitter

The Himalayan 密宗聖手 [1976]

This is captured from the @88_Films Blu-Ray that drops tomorrow via @mvdentgroup

Is always fascinating watching these early Angela Mao films and you get to see a lot of the pioneers of the genre in ing characters. Like Corey Yuen, Jackie Chan & Yuen Wah.

Now this film is structed very similar to Hapkido which it feels like two films put together. Basically, setting up one character (Kao Chu) and focusing on the others Tseng Ching Lan & Hsu Chin Kang. Is not heavily focus on action, but you get some insight into the culture of the Himalayans, and the drama is not bad on this story on trying to undercut the Tseng family's wealth no matter the cost. The action done by Han Ying-Chieh & Sammo Hung is solid as usual.

Part of why Better Than Dead has a female protagonist is because I really love that side of Hong Kong action cinema.

There are many films with female leads, even if a lot of them are not very well known outside Asia.

BTD is also a small tribute to that tradition.

I’m making a single-player bodycam revenge FPS inspired by 90s Hong Kong action cinema

You play as a woman who escapes captivity and comes back for revenge

It’s called Better Than Dead and it’s almost ready for release

So Close [2002]
Directed By: Corey Yuen

I miss the 2000s. @88_Films recently released this film on Blu-Ray (region B) where this is captured from.

SLANG: YELLOW DOG [1999]
Directed By: Kazuyoshi Ozawa

Full RIP. Captured from a SONY S-Video VCR for the highest quality. With chapter markers, highlight and contrast adjustments. Audio is in PCM. One of the finest films by Kazuyoshi Ozawa (Also the lead) this film never got a y rare. This film is not on streaming services or anywhere online.

Very Hong Kong inspired gunplay and a blast all round. This couldn't be possible without @MOVIE89478 who gifted me the VHS many years ago and @Neo_Manifesto & @HeadExposure who donated on me getting a top of the line S-Video VCR from SONY a few years back.

Share it everywhere and give credit. @rarefilmsguy
Also make sure you have MEGA on your PC to bypass limitations.

Undercranking the action properly is what set this era apart. What is Undercranking? Lowering the frame rate to give it that speed. Woo-Ping on the other hand got a little carry away back in the day, but man it was it fun to see.

Holy fucking shit, Bren Foster I missed you (it's only been a year or so since "Life After Fighting" lol) I missed you so much, "Mexicali" looks awesome, March 13th get here soon bruh ! ! 👊🔥🔫😮

Keanu Reeves recently confirmed that he has a clause in every one of his movie contracts that prevents studios from using AI for his performances - because he once found out producers added a tear in a scene for a film.
