Horror-Fu: The Boxer’s Omen
A big hat-tip to Space Coyote, who suggested some supernaturally-charged kung-fu movies for me to check out. I watched The Boxer’s Omen (1983) tonight and it was a lot of fun. It’s so wacky, so weird… it’s just very foreign. The sets and locations are amazing, so many bright colors everywhere, and there are a ton of gross-out special effects. Now, granted, it’s a little too long for its own good and it’s basically impossible to tell what’s going on, but it’s still a very fun watch on a “Holy crap, this sh*t is whacked!” type of level.
I had a 40oz of High Life while I was watching it, so maybe that helped a little. Oh, and it’s got Bolo Yeung in it, who I recognized as “that guy from Bloodsport“, so that was cool.

Heh I’m going to be going into production soon on some movies, first project not decided yet, but frontrunner script is a funny, gory martial arts involved one, if you guys want to make it come to Cali and make it I’ll pay you some cheetos and let you have your own ninja suit.

Bolo Yeung was also in ENTER THE DRAGON, which is a cool, cheesy movie. Glad you checked out my recommendation, my favorite part is when the Taoist priests eat the chicken assholes and then vomit them out before chowing down on them again. Yum! Did you manage to see MR. VAMPIRE yet?

PS: I too was drinking when I saw this. It enhances the experience for sure.

That stuff with the already-been-chewed food was by far the grossest part of the movie. Yuck!
Mr. Vampire is next in my Netflix queue so I should be getting that soon.
