The Black Dragon. 1974. A farmhand Tai-Lin goes to work at a factory in the Philippines and discovers his bosses are involved in a crime syndicate smuggling Opium operation. He quits his job and joins forces with two people to bring down the mobsters and his bosses. This one I have never seen or heard of so gave it a glance, after the first 20 minutes of the best and worst dubbing we love from these movies, I was ready to switch it off and glance into space but stuck it out and glad I did. The fight scenes are well choreographed, martial artist Ron Van Clief is present but not as a leading man, Jason Piao Pai steps in as the lead actor and able to bring some comedy element, and also there is some background score borrowed from other films. Nice lightweight entertainment. 31130537_sa.jpg

Haven't watched this in over 20yrs, a star studded cast and excellent performance by Pam Grier, remember enjoying it when I first saw it, watched it today with my mum to be honest i found it dull boring, long arsed and winded and drawn out. Should have been shortened by at least half a hr. Excellent soundtrack tho. |

McBain (1991, James Glickenhaus) Had to get back into the swing of things after all that acting A joy to behold. You want Exploitative elements in your movie? Form an orderly queue then ... ChrisTOPHer WalKEN is McBain. Next! Seriously, haven't enjoyed myself in long enough. War is hell, so let's start our own one etc. Only sour note being that Steve James was under utilized imho. Gripe aside, why there aren't 5 or 6 more of these, yes, Walken would have baulked after the second probably, but David Bradley might have been free!! Ahem. Recommended.

The Corpse Grinders. 1971. A cat food company goes into trouble with their food supply, the bosses decide to improve their meat by going into grave robbing and use dead flesh for their supply, the cats who eat the meat begin to have a taste for human flesh. Actor Bryan Cranston's father co-wrote this movie with Arch Hall Sr, and they both must have known how bad it would be and probably chuckled writing it but at least they did try. Surprisingly no actors were nominated for best dialogue delivery or best actor performance, people are put into a grinder but mostly done off screen, some mild gore of when the cats do attack. If anyone is wanting to become a vet, there is a autopsy scene shown on a dead cat. Haven't made my mind up whether a re-watch will happen or not.
