  1:05:17

  Sammo Hung’s self-directed and self-starring 1989 tragi-ballad, Pedicab Driver, mixes young love and heartbreak with the biggest bone crunching Hong Kong action choreography on film. Featuring Sammo’s trademark all-star ensemble cast, this is as good as old school action cinema gets.

  House/ハウス

  1:05:15

  The crew watch the 1977 cult psychedelic horror comedy House, directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. Not a huge amount of action in this one, barring some crazy stuff pulled off by best girl Kung Fu. But it's Halloween and it's a goddamned classic that a number of us hadn't seen. New time we will be back to the usual fisticuffs.

  Japan's 1988 cult mega hit CYBER NINJA slashes his way into the Asian Action Cast. Not man, not machine, but all Ninja - it's what happens if Star Wars had a baby with Ninja Scroll and Power Rangers combined, but, like, 1000% better.
