In a reflection of world events, it's everybody against everybody and Supermen against all in the next
4DK Monthly Movie Shout Down, in which we try to reckon with
Supermen against the Orient. The film is a late entry in the confoundingly long-running series of Italian superhero spoofs featuring the
Three Supermen, a trio of bumbling FBI agents and their gymnastics-enabling super suits. This one was co-produced by Hong Kong's legendary Shaw Brothers Studios -- who were apparently in a real "what the hell" mood at the time -- which allows for the appearance of Shaw Brothers stars Lo Lieh (
King Boxer, aka
Five Fingers of Death) and Shih Szu (
The Thunderbolt Fist,
Lady Hermit) alongside some of the Italian regulars. Sound interesting? Here, check out this trailer I made on my phone:
The fun starts at
6pm sharp PDT next
Tuesday, August 12th. At that time, I invite you to join the Shout Down gang on
Twitter as, using the
hashtag #4DKMSD we tweet along to this goofy world pop cinema hybrid. I will provide a link to the film here on the blog on that date, or you can refer to the official
Shout-Down site for both the film and further info on what this Shout Down business is all about.
In any case, I hope you'll be among us!

PLEASE NOTE: I do not sell, trade, upload or otherwise provide copies of the films that I review on this site, so please don’t ask.
Please, no questions about where to download films or subtitle files. If you are asking about the availability of a reviewed film on DVD, please make sure that you have first conducted a simple search of the film’s title on Google, eBay, and Amazon. That usually works for me.
Everyone else, BRING IT ON!
