Woah.

Ep 132 - Silat Warriors: Deed of Death (2021) from 2021-12-17T19:43:49

Also known as Geran, this movie is the martial arts cinema equivalent of taking a bunch of Ambien.

Ep 131 - Hydra (2021) + Snake Eyes (2021) from 2021-12-10T06:55:36

I'm tired of these [Monkey Fighting] Snake movies on this [Monday to Friday] Podcast.

Ep 126 - The Big Boss (1971) from 2021-11-07T01:48:41

Also known as Fist of Fury or the Chinese Connection. Not to be confused with...oh wait we made the same kind of joke last week.

Ep 125 - *Halloween Special* Mr. Vampire Tribute Films from 2021-10-29T15:17

It's a Mr. Vampire saga! Not to be confused with Mr. Vampire Saga, which is actually Mr. Vampire 4.

Ep 124 - Twins Effect (2003) from 2021-10-21T05:13:09

Two quirky/annoying girls fight vampires and each other in this film that Will kept getting the names wrong between Ekin Cheng and Edison Chen.

Ep 123 - Contracts (2019) from 2021-10-15T06:00

This action film is actually based on a short film. And it honestly should have stayed a short film.

*General Review* New York Ninja (1984) from 2021-10-07T03:41:36

We're covering a campy 80s movie that was lost to the ages until now. So it's a new release from 1984? What year is it???

Ep 122 - The Raid 2 (2014) from 2021-10-01T05:28:25

Prepare for two and half hours of non stop violence and sharp objects slicing tendons. Bring the kids.

Ep 121 - Commando 2 (2017) + Commando 3 (2019) from 2021-09-24T06:27:02

Ep 120 - Boyka: Undisputed (2016) from 2021-09-16T06:00

We're talking about sequels this month and nothing could be more surprising than Scott Adkins kicking ass even harder in a fourth installment. So many mouth guards flying out of mouths!

*General Review* Shang Chi and the Ten Rings (2021) from 2021-09-07T02:38:13

It's the latest Marvel movie! Remember when we had twelve of them a year? And they all end with a Kaiju battle? Welcome back to the good old days!

Ep 119 - Once Upon a Time in China and America (1997) from 2021-09-03T06:00:14

Jet Li and Rosamund Kwan return for the final entry of the Once Upon a Time series. Featuring no lion dancing, so that's a good thing.

Ep 118 - Once Upon a Time in China 3 (1993) from 2021-08-26T04:39:15

A movie that is so frustrating at times, Will gets so heated that he kicks the table near the end and dislodges his mic. Apologies on the audio quality in the end but no apologies that we don't ...

Ep 117 - Once Upon a Time in China 2 from 2021-08-20T03:00

Fanatical cultists who believe in nonsense to protect themselves from harm! Xenophobia and nationalistic pride! No, we're not talking about current event, this is Once Upon a Time in China 2!

*General Review* - Raging Fire (2021) from 2021-08-11T03:55:33

Ep 116 - Once Upon a Time in China (1991) from 2021-08-05T06:22:39

We end Jackie-Goes-West month and move onto Once Upon a Time Month. Doesn't roll off the tongue as well but we get to talk about the movie that made Jet Li a cultural icon. Umbrella and all.

Ep 115 - Forbidden Kingdom (2008) from 2021-07-29T05:00

Finally! The epic movie showdown between Jackie Chan and Jet Li! When is it coming out?

...what you do mean the movie already exists?

Ep 114 - The Protector (1985) from 2021-07-22T06:00

Nothing's going to protect you from Will's complaining about the original version of this film.

Ep 113 - The Tuxedo (2002) vs The Medallion (2003) from 2021-07-16T06:00

Of all of Jackie's great catalog of films, we decide to cover his two worst. But which is the worst-est?

Ep 112 - Rumble in the Bronx (1995) from 2021-07-12T05:18:42

Before Jackie didn't want trouble in Rush Hour, he didn't want trouble in his first successful Western targeted movie, Rumble in the Bronx. Because it was definitely in the Bronx. It definitely ...

Ep 111 - Shanghai Noon (2000) from 2021-07-02T04:41:09

Jackie and some guy with a punchable face embark on a journey to save an imperial princess in this western kung fu hybrid. Eat your heart out, Clint Eastwood.

Ep 110 - Xtreme (2021) from 2021-06-25T04:08:04

A story about revenge between siblings that ends in a trail of blood and tears. It's like a bible story except with guns and wrenches.

Ep 109 - Insight (2021) from 2021-06-18T06:05:35

Is this movie about a psychic martial artist going to be good? What am I, psychic?

Ep 108 - Russian Raid (2020) from 2021-06-10T06:00

It's not a Russian Iko Uwais fending for his life in a building full of low-life monsters. Instead, it's about a guy storming a building with his gang full of low-life monsters.

Ep 107 - Undercover Punch and Gun (2019) from 2021-06-03T03:00:12

Hong Kong cinema is back to form with this action flick from 2019. Bad writing and all.

Ep 106 - Unbeatable (2013) from 2021-05-27T06:00

The best MMA movie to blend theatrics with realism comes from this Hong Kong production. It's also the cinematic equivalent of taking Ambien.

Ep 105 - American Brawler (2013) [a.k.a. Pitfighter/Barrio Fighter/Fight Club 2] from 2021-05-20T05:06:57

Whatever this low-budget movie is actually called, it's a teeth ripping good time.

Ep 104 - The Paper Tigers (2021) from 2021-05-12T22:50:02

No, it's not the Bill Burr special. It's a new martial arts indie film by Bao Tran about three washed up martial artists. Just like us.

Ep 103 - Girls Blood (2014) [a.k.a. Aka x Pinku] from 2021-05-06T05:22:44

Just when you thought we couldn't stoop any lower: porno action movie. You're welcome, internet.

What, a new movie during these pandemic times? Why yes it's the new Mortal Kombat, the latest reboot of the video game franchise about folks viciously murdering each other with flaming dragons, ...

Ep 101 - D.O.A. Dead or Alive (2006) from 2021-04-22T06:00

It's like Charlie's Angels. Except dumber and more shameless.

Ep 100 - Mortal Kombat Annihilation (1997) from 2021-04-15T06:00

One Hundred Episodes! And we look at this legendarily hilariously flick. And it. IS. GLORIOUS!

Note: Will flubbed up and mentioned that Brian Thompson was an American Gla...

Ep 99 - Sister Sensei [1994] from 2021-04-08T06:00

April Fools! Time to talk about some horrible movies. And here one "legendary" so bad it's good film featuring Cynthia Rothrock. Or is it?

Ep 97 - The Woman Knight of Mirror Lake (2011) from 2021-03-25T06:00

A serious war drama about a feminist icon in China has loads of flying kicks and rag doll physics? Sign me up!

Ep 96 - A Book of Heroes (1986) from 2021-03-18T07:00

Why is it called a Book of Heroes when there is no book and is actually about a con woman, a wannabe cop and Yukari Oshima fighting throughout the whole movie? Who cares because there's a six ye...

Ep 95 - Chocolate (2008) from 2021-03-10T06:18:55

The movie has two special needs people fighting to the death in the end. What else is there to say about this movie?

Ep 94 - Magnificent Warriors (1987) [a.k.a. Dynamite Fighters] from 2021-03-02T06:30:46

Michelle Yeoh is a magnificent warrior in Magnificent Warriors, the Indiana Jones-esque action vehicle with twice the combat skills and half the musical talent

Ep 93 - Falcon Rising (2014) from 2021-02-26T07:00

Ending Black History Month with an awesome Michael Jai White flick. Only thing it doesn't have is him screaming "Falcon Punch!"

Ep 92 - [Billy Blanks-a-thon Part 2] Tough & Deadly (1995) from 2021-02-21T03:33:44

Billy Blanks is he ultimate killing machine. He is tough. He is deadly. He is and.

Ep 91 - [Billy Blanks-a-thon Part 1] TC 2000 (1993) from 2021-02-18T04:00

From the guy who brought you Tae Bo, comes another cheesy 90s throwback. It's also the movie that predicted that 2020 would be devastated by environmental disaster.

Ep 90 - Sun Dragon (1979) from 2021-02-10T08:00

Continuing Black History Month with the criminally unknown Carl Scott putting his all in the amazing fight scenes. None of that effort goes into the voice overs.

Ep 89 - Black Belt Jones (1974) from 2021-02-02T07:00

Starting off Black History Month with movie that put Jim Kelly on the map. No, not Enter the Dragon.

Ep 88 - *Japan-uary Movies Recap* from 2021-01-26T07:00

So many Japanese movies to cover that we couldn't fit them all in one month. So we fit them all in one episode! 

Ep 87 - Rogue Ninja (2009) from 2021-01-19T07:00

Seiji Chiba, the mind behind Aliens vs Ninja, brings us another ninja film with half the runtime, half the fighting and none of the comedy. But it's got more Mika Hijii, so that's something.

Ep 86 - Aliens vs Ninja (2010) from 2021-01-12T06:26:07

It's basically everything Jiu Jitsu should have been: aliens, jiu jitsu and doesn't take itself so seriously.

Ep 85 - Bushido Man (2013) from 2021-01-05T06:18:58

We start the new year off exploring the world of Japan for the month of Japan-uary. What better fun than a film about fighting and food?

Ep 84 - *2020 in Review* from 2020-12-31T03:01:29

Everybody loves a clip show! Time to look back at the best movies we've covered of this year and then there's Jiu Jitsu. 

Ep 83 - African Kung Fu Nazis (2019) from 2020-12-24T06:30:40

Because nothing says Happy Holidays more than kung fu Ghanians in white face. Or as they're called in the film: "Ghan-Aryans"

Ep 82 - *2020 Movie Recap* from 2020-12-17T06:41:30

As the year ends, we discuss the things we didn't cover this year. Some films were hidden gems. Some films were worse than the coronavirus.

Panna Rittikrai comes at us again with more cars, fire, nonstop kicking, death-defying stunts and asthma.

Ep 78 - Sha Po Lang [a.k.a. Killzone] (2005) from 2020-11-18T07:00

No, it's not the damn Playstation game. From the guy who brought you the Ip Man series comes one of the best action dramas to have come out in the mid-2000s. Oh and apparently it has fighting to...

Ep 77 - Legendary Weapons of China (1982) from 2020-11-12T16:03:43

If you're lactose intolerant, be careful. This movie is something something legend-dairy pun.

Ep 76 - Invincible Dragon (2019) from 2020-11-02T07:18:57

Finally a movie that lives up the word "Fail" in the Fists of Fail Podcast. Max Zhang. Anderson Silva. Overacting. Prepare for some crap.

Ep 74 - *Halloween Bargain Bin* Hellbinders ('09) + Silent Rage ('82) + Yakuza Apocalypse ('15) from 2020-10-23T06:00

Don't cover a Hong Kong movie they said. Don't do a horror comedy they said. Find a strict martial arts horror movie they said. Well it's three movies for the price of one.

Ep 73 - Encounters of the Spooky Kind (1980) from 2020-10-15T06:30:16

It's Spooktober and we are covering the Sammo Hung horror kung fu classic, with jumping Chinese vampires, chi finger blasts and real onscreen chicken beheadings. 

Ep 72 - Fatal Contact (2006) from 2020-10-05T08:00

Our first film coverage of Wu Jing in the starring role in this Dennis Law directed movie about underground fighting. It's also such a burden to sit through, our mics malfunctions during record....

Ep 71 - Crippled Avengers (1978) [a.k.a. "Return of the Five Deadly Venoms"] from 2020-10-02T06:00

Not a movie about Iron Man in a wheelchair. It's the legendary "Return of the Five Deadly Venoms" , the Shaw Bros followup to a much better film. Is this movie just as handicapable as its predec...

Ep 70 - Ninja: Shadow of a Tear (2013) from 2020-09-23T06:00

Isaac Florentine teams up with Scott Adkins for the billionth time to bring us the last of the classic ninja action movies to have come out in over seven years. I mean watching Adkins kick ass i...

Ep 69 - Blood and Bone (2009) from 2020-09-15T06:00

Ep 68 - Wira (2019) from 2020-09-09T07:00

Ep 65 - Mortal Kombat (1995) from 2020-08-18T06:00

GET OVER HERE and listen to us talk about this TOASTY video game movie. Is the movie a FLAWLESS VICTORY or does it simply TEST OUR MIGHT? ...something something ANIMALITY.

Ep 64 - Tom Yum Goong (2005) from 2020-08-12T06:00

It's the other Tony Jaa masterpiece featuring a whole lot of stair-climbing and tendon-snapping. It's Tom Yum Goong, a.k.a. The Protector, a.k.a. Warrior King, a.k.a. Thai Dragon, a.k.a. Honor o...

Ep 63 - Born to Fight (2004) from 2020-08-11T06:00

A 90s a martial arts film with Hong Kong action stuntwork and kung fu set in America featuring a wise-cracking black man and an acrobatic asian man? We're obviously talking about Mark Dacascos' ...

Ep 61 - Re:Born (2016) from 2020-07-28T06:00

Last week, this tactical martial arts movie featuring Tak Sakaguchi came out on Blu-Ray. Well, save your money folks.

Ep 60 - In the Line of Duty 4 (1989) from 2020-07-21T06:07:41

One of baby-faced Donnie Yen's earliest films. It's criminal that this movie isn't as universally known as the biggest titles in the martial arts world. Long story short: Watch the damn film.

Ep 59 (Pt 2) - City Hunter (1993) from 2020-07-16T06:00

It's got Jackie Chan in drag. Who couldn't love this movie? I don't. I don't like this movie.

Ep 59 (Pt 1) - High Risk (1995) from 2020-07-15T05:55:47

If you ever wanted to know who was better, Jet Li or Jackie Chan, here's a movie that is full Team Jet.

Ep 58 - Kiss of the Dragon (2001) from 2020-07-07T07:00

The westernized Jet Li movie that doesn't completely suck.

No, not the one with Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

Ep 56 - The Grandmaster (2013) from 2020-06-25T06:00

The prolific Wong Kar Wai brings us the "real" Ip Man movie which has gotten plenty of praise from various film goers. We are not those film goers.

Ep 55 - The Karate Kid (1984) vs The Karate Kid (2010) from 2020-06-11T06:00

Wax on. Wax off.

Ep 54 - Undisputed III: Redemption (2010) from 2020-06-02T06:33:50

Just like the subtitle of the movie, this is our Redeption for our review of Avengement. Now we'll be gushing all about the milestone movie in martial arts cinema, Undisputed 3: a movie that we lov...

Ep 53 - Commando: One Man Army (2013) from 2020-05-29T06:00

Ep 52 - Avengement (2019) from 2020-05-21T06:00

Scott Adkins and Jesse V Johnson team up again for the 40th time to bring us another action flick. This time, Adkins plays Cain (obvious bible reference) trying to kill his brother, Lincoln (lik...

Ep 51 - Danny the Dog / Unleashed (2005) from 2020-05-13T06:00

One of our favorite Jet Li movies is actually a Western film? Yes! Where else can you see Jet Li, Morgan Freeman and Super Mario all in one film?

Ep 50 - Upgrade (2018) from 2020-05-11T06:41:59

It's our 50th episode! So here's a short episode that's not really a martial arts film but still worth talking about: the 2018 film by Leigh Whannell, director of The Invisible Man, about a cybo...

Ep 49 - The Rebel (2007) from 2020-05-05T05:41:31

Another Johnny Tri Nguyen and Veronica Ngo movie? Ngo way!

Our introduction to the Chilean martial arts movie scene features Marko Zaror, the oldest teenager in the world on a mission to save the woman of his dream. It can also be viewed as the creepies...

Ep 47 - The Lady is the Boss (1983) from 2020-04-17T06:00

Kara Wai is a wild American (yes, you read that right) who comes to upset the order of the old kung fu ways and teach them the wave of the future. Until it becomes a Liu Chia Liang movie again.

Ep 46 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990) from 2020-04-10T06:00

Late to the 30 year anniversary due to the world ending. But nothing is going to stop us from breaking down this classic children's action film featuring the Turtles themselves. Not even the fac...

Ep 45 - The Raid (2011) from 2020-04-08T06:00

Ep 44 - Romeo Must Die (2000) vs Cradle 2 The Grave (2003) from 2020-03-16T06:00

Take your mind off the misery of being in quarantine by watching two of Jet Li's miserable American films. In our first ever CoVID-19 episode, we ask the question: which is worse?

Ep 43 - The Legend [a.k.a. Fong Sai Yuk] (1993) from 2020-03-09T06:00

The great Jet Li (not playing Wong Fei Hung this time) stars in this kung fu classic and takes on the villainous Vincent Zhao (who also is not playing Wong Fei Hung this time).

Ep 42 - Merantau (2009) from 2020-03-04T20:31:09

Iko Uwais and Gareth Evans team up in their first ever outing before The Raid. Can we stay on topic and talk about this film? Or will this be an unofficial review of The Raid?

Ep 41 - Enter the Fat Dragon (2020) from 2020-02-25T07:00

It's the real deal. Move aside, Ip Man 4: we have the real Donnie Yen masterpiece with plenty more kick ass action and abusive girlfriends. 

Ep 40 - Enter the Fat Dragon (1978) from 2020-02-24T07:18:04

This is totally the version of Enter the Fat Dragon you're looking for. Complete with a young Sammo Hung, tons of Bruce Lee impressions and black-face.

Ep 39 - Dragons Forever (1988) from 2020-02-09T07:00

Everyone knows Wheels on Meals for the team up of Jackie, Sammo and Yuen Biao, the balls to the walls action, and the epic showdown against Benny "the Jet" Urquidez. But what if I told you there wa...

Ep 38 - Jailbreak (2017) from 2020-02-03T07:00

The first Cambodian action film for the modern era. Will it do for Cambodia what The Raid did for Indonesia? Is that a completely unfair question to ask?

Ep 37 - Ong Bak (2003) from 2020-01-27T07:00

It's Ong Bak. If you don't know what it is, what is wrong with you?

Ep 36 - Hard to Kill (1990) from 2020-01-14T14:01:08

In our shortest episode ever, we tear apart the man himself: Steven Seagal. Oh and there's some movie in here somewhere.

Ep 35 - Beverly Hills Ninja (1997) from 2020-01-08T03:13:50

Ring in the new decade with the ultimate martial arts film. Chris Farley plays a man who screams a lot in this action comedy. Or according to Will, it's a "comedy".

Ep 34 - Fist of Fury ('72) vs Fist of Legend ('94) from 2020-01-02T06:39:20

Ring in the new decade with the hardest matchup in martial arts film history. In one corner, we have Bruce Lee's iconic film about a Chinese rebel going against Japanese oppressors and proving that...

Ep 33 - Ip Man 4: The Finale (2019) from 2019-12-27T18:37:40

Donnie Yen's final performance in the role of the character that brought him to international stardom is finally here State-side so we jumped at the chance to see it, get wasted and give our two ce...

Ep 31 - Magnificent Butcher (1979) from 2019-12-16T07:00
