Burning Paradise



Burning Paradise starring Willie Chi Tin-Sang (1994).

Whether it’s historical landmarks like Once Upon a Time in China 1-3 or schlock like We’re Going to Eat You, producer/director/actor Tsui Hark is a force to be reckoned with. If Hark is connected its a guaranteed banger. We also get acclaimed auteur Ringo Lam who just directed the insanely fun action packed film Full Contact (1992). Ringo's films influenced Tarantino's career early on.

 BP begins in the middle of a sand torn war landscape. The gore immediately gets to soaked level! Swords clang and a horse gets decapitated by a flying guillotine.  


Fatal Flying Guillotine you wound up in my movie?

This Hong Kong flick so far is bad asssss! Two Shaolin monks are the main characters and a cute girl in a floppy hat. The younger monk is Fong Sai Yuk (played by Willie Chi Tin-Sang and his Master Chi Nun (Wu Xiqian). The female’s name is Dou Dou (Carman Lee Yeuk-Tung). 


The atmosphere shifts from blazing desert to frost bitten darkness. Fong Sai Yuk gets entrenched in an epic battle with soldiers on horseback. He wields a ginormous weapon that could be in a Capcom Arcade game. The sword slices through flesh and even stays in rock if you wanted to propel out a few cartwheels during the fight. 


It’s so heartbreaking when the main soldier callously stabs Yuk’s Uncle as he’s buried in rocks. The gore effects and cinematography are superlative! 


At the Red Lotus temple evil is a foot and some severed hands. I mean the place reminds me of a Ripped To Shreds tune or a MK set piece. 


essential listening


The monks are now property of the Quing Dynasty and they have all these rules including no martial arts! Shen Kung played by Wam Kam-Kong, is their ruler. These masterfully choreographed fights include flames, chains, the kind of shit out of a heavy metal music vid! 



Welcome to Rochester Ny


There’s a epic battle of strength every couple of mins yet it’s never boring and propels the character driven plot. Sai Yuk is thrown into a cave filled with corpses. An old Master Chi Sin helps him through act two. This fool says he’s been living off rats like Vermin in Time Bandits (1981



There's no worser farts than Rat meat ones


Shen Kung at first seems like a villain on par with General Zod but he does masterfully decapitate a female lickety-split! Kung does look stoned most of the time and paints with blood like that one H.G.Lewis film. 


Maybe you're the one that's really stoned!


There’s a female guard named Tsui ho (Maggie Lam Chuen) with a black face plate that reminds me of a minstrel act or one of those creepy Betty Boop cartoon characters. 


Boop Boop Ba-Dead


Our two main heroes wind up in the corpse pit again. This captivating movie has many elements from Indiana Jones but it never gets blatant about what it's copying. This film never slows down and there’s constant action. Vinegar Syndrome offers the new restored version of a film that before you could only find online in unsavory places or on a bootleg. Lately this company has been releasing very rare HK flicks that we reviewed in 2012. I know they’ll continue on in this trend and I’m stoked they are releasing top quality HK sleaze/ action. Thank You VS! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Erotic Ghost Story 2





Erotic Ghost Story 2. Directed By Peter Ngor Chi-Kwan (1991).

When I saw this was part of Shout Factory’s dive into Cat III shit I figured after 11 yrs?!! It was time to review the sequel. I found this on Plex instead of having to buy the boxset, which has many TOG HK classicks that I highly recommend. The set is called Golden Harvest vol 1: Supernatural Shockers. Films include Sex and Zen,Dr. Vampire, Erotic Ghost Story 1-3, Robotrix. These titles besides Sex and Zen have all been reviewed here before when they were on inferior sources and VHS tapes procured after dumpster dives but NOW the genius people behind Shout Factory have them in superior HD quality Blu-rays packed with fun shit!



The director is an amazing cinematographer named Peter Ngor, this dudes resume is a blaze with hits like Armour of God (1986), Full Contact (1992) and the aforementioned Sex and Zen (1991)just to name a smattering. 

Skunkape revealed to me that he didn’t think much of this and complained about Anthony Wong’s annoying hissing! Wong plays Chiu-sheng, he bangs so many Asian babes but doesn’t do any butchery Untold Story (1993) style. He wears white makeup, a white mane and has a tail. He'll hop in a spiky cocoon with his Goth girlfriend that's where they have the best talks.

HISSSSSSSSS You like that ya smelly ape?


There’s an obscene amount of fornicating, ass play, I mean a raw egg rolls down some butt cheeks, just weird Cat III type tomfoolery. I’d say 70% of EGS2 is full of nut bustin’ content. Unless you're 12 years old, this kind of constant Skin-a-Max type bonin' is hardly sexy but I was never bored at least. There’s one sex orgy scene (of many) where they pass a joint and smoke what they call the “happy leaf”. The end throws a lot of sappiness our way, it didn’t impress me but it was a fun time nonetheless.
MARIO KART MEETS SUPERNATURAL CAT III STYLINZ. I can't wait to see how part 3 is! 
PART 1 &2 are available to watch on PLEX.
