I've said it before and I'll say it again: Sometimes nothing quite hits the spot like a truly effing weird old school kung fu movie, and the 1978 Taiwanese Polly Shang-Kwan vehicle Zodiac Fighters certainly fits the bill. If you're a rational human, all I need to tell you about this movie to make you want to see it is that it features Lo Lieh in a flying-shark-launching palanquin fighting against Polly and a gang of oddly costumed martial artists that includes a girl in a bunny suit.
Oh, and at one point the bunny lady rides one of the flying sharks.
And Lo Lieh's henchmen have lobster claws.
Happily, rather than being a mere container for these isolated moments of transcendent insanity, Zodiac Fighters is fun throughout, maintaining a brisk pace and a staunch dedication to being as silly as possible for its entire, brief running time. And as you can see from my screen caps, Criterion has done a fantastic job of restoring it for their extra-laden, three-disc special edition release.
Okay, that last bit was just a cruel joke on my part. You're going to have to scour the gray market for this one, but it's well worth the effort.
one of the most stupid movies in the history, "Zodiac Fighters is I do not know how to call it, it is like a joke, that is the best qualification !! a big joke!
ReplyDeleteReally, Buy Viagra Online? Is your opinion of Zodiac Fighters really so low? I wonder if Hot Asian Teens feels the same way.
