This show we review some 80s kung fu goodness. Get out your pen & paper, it’s time to count the number of bad stereotypes and the amount of times we say, “boobs!” Synthesizers, bad dialogue, karate kids and more synthesizers. This episode is a blast thanks to our guest, Arden.
Interested in the film?
Or cheap out and watch, Revenge of the Ninja in 4 minutes. It has all the great scenes covered, even the great pickup line, “If you want to workout, you forgot your pants.”
- “Lake-effect snow, ladies & gentleman.”
- Arden’s first movie memories revolve around horror films like The Deep, Alien and Friday the 13th.
- What’s a video tape rewinder?
- Let’s raise some money and get Arden a new Barbarella Laserdisc.
- What’s this Canadian Superchannel thing?
- Cartoon boobs? Kids will be kids and watch Heavy Metal.
- Fan site love for the actor in the film, Sho Kosagi. Playing his son in the movie is his real life son, Kane Kosagi.
- Trick editing, the secret of movie ninjas! Started by the early French master, Georges Méliès.
- Before Katniss was the Mockingjay, there was Sho’s family symbol which they proudly wear on their stealthy ninja outfits?
- Paul’s wife decided to stop watching this film when she saw the pirate bum, and started watching Salem instead.
- We all do impressions of Patrick Stewart getting a massage from Will Riker.
- Thanks to Wikipedia and Revenge of the Ninja we know what a Death Erection is.
- Keith Vitali is a former Karate champ and surely not an actor.
- We have Italian & Japanese stereotypes, let’s add a Native American named, Chief. He’s played by Don Shanks from The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams.
- Professor Toru Tanaka has been in lots of films. He’s a Professor of wrestling?
- The Village People are not in this movie.
- Arden schools us on caltrops.
- Kane Kosagi went on to continue starring opposite busty women in DOA:Dead or Alive, based on the exploitive (NSFW) video game.
- Better left in the childhood, Buck Rogers, Greatest American Hero or the original Battlestar Galactica.
- Recommendations: Kung Fu Hustle, Ong Bak and the ridiculous Chocolate.
- More recent Sho Kasagi? Try Ninja Assassin.
Thanks again to Arden for joining us. Hopefully, he returns real soon to watch some more bad films with us.
