Tang shan hu wei jian sha shou (1974)
The irrepressible urge to copy other's success
Watching this will give you the feeling one gets when you've been sold fake junk that is meant to deceive buyers. The movie was trying to make a good effort to copy bruce lee's movie with the roman coliseum fight with chuck norris in the hope of catching some crumbles profit. The final scene chinese temple is actually beautiful (yet they did not capture it well). In hinsight Bruce Lee himself and his movies were vastly overrated and anyone who is a fan of the 70's kung fu genre will know there are numerous movies and kung fu actors that were far superior to him on screen and in real life. What made Bruce lee success and fame was 1) it was a completely unknown genre in the west and he benefited from being the first to break in. 2) He was narcissistic to a pathological point. He knew no humility and this was the central point of all his movies. This total will is what fascinated (and his animal sounds antics). If you try not to blinded by these two factors then bruce lee was not as special as he decided he was.
The bruce lee impersonator has flexible legs and good balance, that's enough already to make the kicks. The rest of bruce lee's style is speed and intensity of presence. Brawny Toong Lung is more laid back, his weight lifting physique slows him down considerably. He flexes his muscle for the camera. He is no kung fu expert alright. No weapon mastery, the choreography remains simple.
The black dragon, a tae kwon do instructor african american, looks bad. It's a typical TKD academic type black belt with all the flaws and dead ends of his style. He has no boxing technique at all, his body even lack proper balance in his kicks. No comparison with TKD experts and a million miles away from legendary TKD grand master HJL. The hero has some charisma and his laid back character should have been used in some social life scene. This movie is bad and there is very little to enjoy in it. But i did like the temple architecture at the end.
Horrible Bosses (2011)
"horrible" is the right word for this movie
There are no other way to describe the kind of thinking this movie promotes in the dialog and especially in the degenerated sense of humor than horrible and deceptively degenerated. Most pseudo comic lines of the script can only pretend to be humorous to a kind of parasitic cynic and close to demonic minds that relish in deception, a twisted adulation of vulgar language for no other reason than the kick of it, childish pee pee poop humor, yet at the same time arrogantly trying to subjugate the viewer with an illusory sense of moral. This is trash of the lowest level and watching this raise concern about the kind of society this kind of movie is trying to foster. Incipiently, it appears this may be the work of Jewish writers. The most accurate review of this piece of recorded video is that it is immoral, sickening trash. A very bad choice of a movie.
