Los Angeles During The 80's

[10/10 · 8 April 2020]

I put this one right next to other take place in crime ridden LA 80's Grindhouse flicks such as Tuff Turf, The Principal, Savage Streets, Angel, Hollywood Vice Squad, Avenging Angel, Vice Squad, etc

Gone in 60 Seconds (1974)

No Remake Is Better Than an Original

[10/10 · 2 January 2020]

The 1974 will always be way better than the 2000 remake since it has no CGI crap.

One-Armed Boxer (1972)

How I Fell In Love With This Kung Fu Grindhouse Flick

[10/10 · 30 December 2019]

Summer 1995. I first saw this on bootleg VHS under the original title One Armed Boxer after hearing about the US releasing it in 1973 as The Chinese Professionals through National General Pictures. Later in the spring of 1996, I watched it in Mandarin which has the sample of the 1971 Shaft theme. The original English dubbed version has a different theme which is something Shout Factory and Amazon Video Prime probably seemed not to realize. On Amazon Video Prime, it has a horrendous American English dubbing with the Shaft theme while Shout Factory used the Mandarin dialogue with the theme from the original English dubbed version before they released it.

Lady Kung Fu (1972)

Angela Mao: Pretty & Petite But Deadly

[10/10 · 30 December 2019]

Miss Mao kicks major ass as short as she is in this 1972 Kung Fu Grindhouse masterpiece later seen here in America as Lady Kung Fu courtesy of National General Pictures in 1973

Godzilla (I) (1998)

Worst American Remake

[1/10 · 29 December 2019]

This American made remake has absolutely nothing on the 1954 Japanese original

Tou tiao hao han (1971)

An Insult To All Martial Arts Movies

[1/10 · 29 December 2019]

After when I saw this crap on VHS, I never bothered to watch it again

House Party 3 (1994)

One of The Worst Movies Ever

[1/10 · 29 December 2019]

Man, I really regret seeing that crap at a movie theater. I'm glad I never saw it again.

Lady Kung Fu (1972)

Information About Lady Kung Fu aka Hapkido

[10/10 · 14 December 2019]

This movie was released in Mandarin not Cantonese. In fact the majority of Chinese Martial Arts films were released in Mandarin from 1970 to sometime in the early 80s.

Trick or Treat (1986)

80's Metal Still Rule No Matter What

[10/10 · 14 October 2019]

Although I love Hip Hop culture, I still find this movie to be awesomely cool to check out since Heavy Metal is also still my favorite on the side

Wild Style (1982)

One of The Best Movies In Hip Hop Culture History

[10/10 · 7 October 2019]

When I first saw it as a VHS rental during the 80's, I thought it was wack. Later in the late 90's, I watched it again and fell in love with it.

Afro Ninja (2009 Video)

So Outta Sight

[10/10 · 7 October 2019]

I love this movie. In fact, I'm watching it for the third time.

Lie ri kuang feng (1973)

My Love For Early 70's Golden Harvest Kung Fu

[10/10 · 23 September 2019]

I once saw it in English under Super Man Chu in English on VHS during the 90's. Later during the 2000's, I watched it in Mandarin on VCD. Sometimes I wish that Shout Factory should've released it on DVD in both Mandarin and English. Other than that, The Stormy Sun is a cool Golden Harvest Kung Fu movie.

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

So Very Disappointing

[1/10 · 25 August 2019]

This remake kinda reminds me of a rip off of City of The Walking Dead aka Nightmare City

Fist of the North Star (1995)

Worst Live Action Ever

[1/10 · 1 February 2019]

I thought I was gonna like it but unfortunately, it stunk like a pile of horse manure

The Fog (2005)

Smh

[1/10 · 23 January 2019]

Would've been better if this remake had received an R rating

Godzilla (I) (1998)

Why I Hate This Movie

[1/10 · 23 January 2019]

It still gets absolutely nothing but zero stars and more than two thumbs down

Body Rock (1984)

Still Gives The Hip Hop Culture a Bad Name

[1/10 · 23 January 2019]

As a long time South Bronx native and Hip Hop culturist, I found this crap be nothing but absolute bulls---. Smh.

Prom Night (I) (2008)

So Deeply Horrendous

[1/10 · 23 January 2019]

Whose idea was it to remake this crap with a PG-13 rating? Smh

Prom Night (1980)

An Original That Can Never Be Topped

[10/10 · 23 January 2019]

This 1980 original will always remain better than the wussed out 2008 PG-13 rated remake

Tou tiao hao han (1971)

The First Corny Martial Arts Movie

[1/10 · 21 January 2019]

Nothing but a complete insult to all Martial Arts movies playing here in USA during the 1970's Grindhouse period. End of story.

Five Elements Ninjas (1982)

One of The Most Best 80s Grindhouse Martial Arts Movies of All Time

[10/10 · 20 January 2019]

Sometimes I wish I should've seen this at a movie theater on NYC's original 42nd Street but I only saw it cut and edited from 1984 to 1993. Later from 1997 to this day and age I ended up enjoying the uncut and unedited version of this movie where it has a scene with somebody fighting one of the Ninja elements with his insides hanging out from underneath him. Especially when the Ninja leader gets ripped apart at the end.

Black Belt Jones (1974)

Two Scenes I Still Love Best About This Movie

[10/10 · 18 January 2019]

"Who the f--- hit me?!" "Batman, motherf-----" along with a fight happening as the lights go on and off every fifteen seconds. Especially when Gloria Hendry visit the Hit Pocket quoting "I'll make you look like a sick f-----" before throwing down in her pantyhosed feet against Pinky's minions. Too bad Pinky never gave those two an education afterwards.

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)

Nothing Beats an Original

[10/10 · 18 January 2019]

Gunnar Hansen will always remain as the best and authentic Leatherface. It was so sad that Andrew Brynianski claimed to be the better one than him.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

The Original Vs The Remake

[1/10 · 18 January 2019]

Back in the early 2000's, some idiot tried to get me to see that this piece of crap remake makes the 1974 original look like a Disney movie. If he had said something like that at the Chiller Theater Expo in New Jersey, he'd get put in his place.
