The Young Master, directed by Jackie Chan, released in 1980. This was a first time watch for me and it was a lot of fun. Jackie was quite funny here but not due to his usual body gags, just his character had some great moments with other characters. Lots of traditional 70's era fights, ie very staged and choreographed dances but they were pretty much non stop. I would say close to 80% of the run time is fights. There was one fight where a convict escapes from his captors that was a more brutal and agressive fighting style, no hit > block > deflect like the usual fights. He just decimated them with fast hits, it almost seems like Jackie was starting to dabble in more realistic fights but didn't want to go full in for the film. A surprising final fight that goes on for almost 10 minutes is just Jackie getting his ass kicked, it was so one sided I was very surprised to see the finale be that way, he obviously turns it around at the last second but still it was an interesting choice for sure.
Dudikoff! I haven't seen this one in many many years. It's still as ridiculous as I remember. I think Ninja 3: The Dominion is still my favorite Cannon ninja film but this one is up there too. I need to revisit the rest of the American Ninja films to see how they hold up.
First time watch for me, actually I don't think I've seen any Death Wish films. I've been on a Cannon kick lately and this one is highly regarded. Bronson is just in Bronson mode, I loved the scene where he walks up to the guys trying to jack his car, asks a question, casually shoots them dead and walks back to his dinner. Also the reverse mohawk never really took off did it?
Any new horror or sci-fi movies/shows release this year that I should check out? I've not been paying much attention.
