Could you reocmend me some chinese gangster or crime movies to watch? Please?
BOY COULD I!!! so a few of my absolute faves are: casino raiders 2 (1991) (unrelated to 1 or no risk no gain), god of gamblers (1989), the inspector wears skirts (1988), infernal affairs (2002), a moment of romance (1990), rich and famous (1987), spl: killzone (2005), once a thief (1991), chasing the dragon (2017), and let the bullets fly (2010) (<- only mainland film in this list LOL but also. one of theeeeee best movies ever made. cannot stress that enough.)
and then i can always just recommend john woo, ringo lam, and johnnie to (& wai ka-fai, they tend to collab a lot) since their heroic bloodsheds and crime films are just god tier. a lot of them are also very much genre-(re)defining and it's a delight seeing where the rest got it from 🥰
The movie my cousin Philip Ng 伍允龍 is in is coming to the US/North America Aug. 9! (In this trailer he's the guy who introduces himself with a gleeful "HALLO!", catches the metal bar with his teeth, cackles while wielding double pistols, gives a thumbs up, etc.) And he's getting praised in Hong Kong and Mainland China as the breakout; they're comparing him to the Joker. People are even making fanart of him 😭
Five reasons to love Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In
Last weekend I had the pleasure to watch Soi Cheang’s triad/kung fu/drama Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In in the theater courtesy of Well Go USA. Anyone who reads this blog (yeah all 5 of you) know I am a huge fan of old school kung fu movies. I also am a fan of the mid 80s to moid 90s HK action movies: gun with girls genre, heroic bloodshed, and the crazy over the top HK action style. Here…
Loyal Knight Ogrim has arrived to my Etsy! This is the best brown I could find for the rotund guy, and honestly, I think it suits him.
You can buy him in either brown or white, whichever your preference. Like the rest, I'll do my best to keep him available for the duration of the holiday season!
