Awesome Lotus (1983)
Wacky! A cult classic!
Brilliant! A dead-on send-up of truly bad B-movies. It's an incredibly crazy combination of awkward martial arts movies, James Bond spy knock-offs, and a laundry list of clunky would-be Hollywood epics. (I hear the original title was "Enter the Bassett"... mocking Bruce Lee's "Enter the Dragon"... and that it was a feature finalist at one of the earliest Sundance Film Fests) Loved the scene of Awesome Lotus floating over the lake like an angel and kicking the guard in the face! And the goofy Herr Bassett playing Wagner on the piano was priceless! It ain't easy sending up "stupid" and "clunky" but these filmmakers know exactly what they're doing and pulled it off. And the blind, deaf, pseudo-bald Tofu Caca sings opera while kicking butt!!! I'm still cracking up! CULT CLASSIC. These guys deserve some kind of award!
