Coming Soon: The Savage Five

This intro is for an Errol Flynn movie, but you get the drift....

As a fifth grader, I took my kung fu where I could get it. In the early 80's, theme weeks were a good choice. Southeastern Wisconsin picked up Chicago very well. WGN TV out of Chicago gave you a lot of movie "theme weeks", which very often tossed cheaply priced, oriental Shaw Brothers-produced 1970's martial arts opuses at you. David Chiang and Ti Lung, (yes, THAT Ti Lung, John Woo's muse, partnered with Chow-Yun-Fat a few times) raise this above "The Flying Guillotine" and "The Seven Deadly Venoms" with ease. It was good stuff....

Coming Soon: Shogun Assasin

In the very near future, I will be posting my MISULF take on the "Wolf and Cub" saga. "Shogun Assassin"
This was one of my "Spectrum Specials". Spectrum was the first run movie channel cast out into the midwestern airwaves using rented antenna power in Chicago. You pay, you watch. Sometimes you stay up after dark to watch some naughtiness or some awesome Samurai madness. Oh, the days of pre-cable viewing to those of us in the "BOONIES".

I was too young to stay up that late.
