Asian Action Cast

Sam, Scott and Rachael go over the best and worst films of the year. There are also some bad impressions.

Its going up a bit early due to technical difficulties, we hope to have another podcast up before the end of the year.

Thanks for all the support!

We discuss the 1993 fever dream that is The Sword of Many Loves. Directed by Poon Man-kit and staring 90's HK heartthrob Leon Lai. The movie is equal parts horny, stupid and fighty.

Also for some reason we had technical issues with the new gear so I apologise for the harsh editing.

Tony Jaa, Tiger Hu Chen and Iko Uwais are up against Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White and Michael Bisping. In a deadly cat and mouse game of revenge. Its a three on three action movie extravaganza.

It's time once again to spook it up, Halloween style, with 2013's Juno Mak Jiangshi creepfest "Rigor Mortis".

Chin Siu-Ho plays.....himself (!) as a down on his luck actor looking to end it all in the worlds end of apartment buildings. After a spiritual cleansing from Uncle Yin (Anthony Chan) the movie takes a creepy turn as he interacts with the residents of the apartment and their ghostly , vampiric happenings. Also, Richard Ng swears up a storm.

Less action/comedy and more atmosphere/mood don't watch this with the lights off!

Mike, Sam and Nathan discuss Shadow Hunters, a 1972 Toei production directed by Toshio Masuda.

Yûjirô Ishihara, Ryôhei Uchida and Mikio Narita play a trio of wandering ronin who hunt down the Shogun's ninja spies for money and revenge.

The Shaw Bros 1982 classic.

Set during the boxer rebellion, Spiritual boxers are trying to attain a form which will make them impervious to western weapons. But one master knows its futile and disbands his organization.

This leads his superiors to send the other sects to kill him.

Another day, another Takashi Miike live action adaptation of a cult manga series. This time on the AAC we "get out arse's to mars!" and check out the 2016 flick Terra Formars.

In the year 2599 a ragtag group of criminals, rogues and misfits (made up of the likes of Kane Kosugi, Takayuki Yamada and Hideaki Ito) board the ship BUGS2 to eradicate the cockroach problem on Mars. Given super DNA powers to help them fight, it's Bugs vs Man in a war for Mars!

The 2018 sequel to Iceman, the film from 2014 starring Donnie Yen and more 3d effects than necessary. Donnie plays Ho Ying, an imperial guard is frozen and thawed out in modern times. Apparently people in the past had super powers? Or being frozen gave him powers?

All I know is Rachel and the dudes watched it coz Simon Yam got stabbed.

Kano, played by Sonny Chiba, is an small town Okinawan cop in Tokyo looking into the murder of a girl from his home town. When the local cops just go through the motions, Kano takes it on himself to find the truth, and he'll break all the rules in his quest for answers.

There is also a pig.

Revenge is a dish best served cold and Bruce Khan is ice cold in 2018's Revenger.

In a future hellscape, 12 Asian countries agree to send all their worst criminals to the AP-101 prison island to fend for themselves. To get his revenge on the man that murdered his wife and child (Khun) Yool deliberately gets sent to the island and nothing will stop him.

A cast of misfits (Mother Mali and daughter Jin, village boss Bau and more) help/hinder Yool in his quest for glorious payback and Bruce Khan shines as a new face for Korean Martial Arts!
