Asian Action Cast

If you haven’t heard about Yoshihiro Nishumura’s 2017 karmic splatter-fest, Meatball Machine: Kodoku - see nothing, hear nothing, know nothing and watch it. Make sure to watch it with someone who has seen it so they can savour your facial expressions and reactions as you’re subject to the primal onslaught of visceral chaos. Then join the Asian Action Cast for some mental therapy and debrief, you will need the human connection after watching.

100th Episode Special: Asian Action Cast have come full circle to bring you Project A: Part II! This is Jackie Chan in his prime delivering electric action cinema in the streets of old Hong Kong, outwitting pirates, corrupt cops, femme fatales and mob bosses, its Asian Action at its best.

Asian Action Cast have Shanghai’d the Millionaires Express to deliver our take on this 1986 Sammo led all-star (no Jackie!) extravaganza!

2020, what a year right? Lets take some time to have a laugh and a look back at the movies we watched for the AAC.

Also, the awards for the Bolo Yeung "Buff Boi" male actor, the "Amy Kwok call me" award for best female actor plus craziest stunt, best use of a song and much more!

Thanks for listening, we'l see you in 2021~!

The 2005 live action Chinese film based on the Manga. Featuring mega star triple threat Jay Chou in his first leading role, and Anthony Wong as Bunta, his abusive dad.

There is barely any action to be had in this drama about street racing and tofu.

* this was quickly reuploaded after I realised that I put up an non levelled and non edited early save. To anyone who heard the first one, damn I'm sorry.

Mike, Sam and Nathan watch Shadow Hunters 2: Echo of Destiny. Released in 1972 and starring Yujiro Ishihara and directed by Toshio Masuda.

Following the events of the first film the trio of sworn ninja killers take a job helping to guard and transport a cannon and the Shogun's ninja spies are after.

Straight from 1996 with a bullet comes BIG BULLET, directed by Benny Chan and starring Ching Wan (Sean) Lau as Bill Chu a hard boiled police officer who is just too 90's Xtreme to do actual policework and keeps getting busted by his superiors. He's up again a cool drug syndicate, I think I'm not exactly sure. It's pretty good.

Shaw Brother's 1983 schlocktacular. Starring Phillip Ko as Fei Kao.

While attempting to avenge his brother's beatdown on the ring by none other than Bolo Yeung, Fei Kao gets dragged into a supernatural battle between black wizards and his monk brother from another life.

This film is a gross out gorefest, a true eastern exploitation film.

Sammo produced Spooktacular, Hocus Pocus whets the appetite for greater things to come. It tries to be a comedy but overstays its welcome with a lukewarm Wei Tung playing opera troupe protagonist, Kuei, failing to carry the film. Rife with familiar Sammo collaborator cameos, there’s certainly plenty to enjoy with some amazing optical camera tricks and illusions, and genuinely tense moments (REAL TURTLE!). Beware the roller skating ghost demon!

Set to be the cameo filled, Chinese New Year blockbuster for 2020, Enter The Fat Dragon got denied by our ongoing Covid situation.

However a low box office isn't gonna deny the AAC a chance to...praise a Donnie Yen film?

Donnie plays Zhu Fallon, a good cop that loses his job, girlfriend and the respect of his peers due to being *too* dedicated to the cause.

A routine prisoner escort mission to Japan could see him win his job back, but what shennanigans await him there? With an all star cast including Teresa Mo, Niki Chow and Wong Jing (!) fun times are gonna be had.
