Sammo Kam-Bo Hung

And this one is, Where is Officer Tuba? What a bizarre title here, starring the legendary Sammo Hong.

one of my favorites, I think everybody, this also has David Chang in it, and it's weird, because I don't know if I've ever seen off the top of my head, I've seen a couple, but they're still Shaw Brothers flicks, maybe, actually, World War II style, I'm getting out of time right here, but I don't know if I've seen too many David Chang movies where he's in a contemporary modern role, I've seen World War II kind of set piece ones, or after that, but, and also, like, I've seen, of course, all the period piece Shaw Brothers movies, but David Chang is a Shaw staple so him being in this is really weird he's kind of a super cop but the plot is uh a super bizarre one here uh sammo hung is a lonely guy who works at the police and he basically just plays the tuba in the bands and stuff like that most of the time he just kind of meanders and wanders around this store that's by his house and he kind of like sheepishly like kind of looks at you know pretty girls and talks to the people that work there and he ends up kind of falling for this girl that started being like a manager there and there seems to be an attraction from her part as well And basically what happens is he lives with kind of a guy who wants to be a really badass cop, but he's put behind an office job.

And essentially David Chang is a super cop.

So one day David Chang's like, we got to kind of get into this drug deal and figure out what's going on, but we need somebody to go undercover.

Of course, comedy ensues, but also you know what else ensues? A brutal murder of David Chang.

And this is one of the movies where we'll be laughing jokes here, very Hong Kong-like, and then when somebody gets shot, they waste them.

their kneecaps are blown out they're screaming on the ground dying and then there's a joke later it's just the kind of style of humor and everything of that nature but of course um when he's dying he makes sammo hung promise him you'll get revenge you'll take revenge for me and there's a really great bit here where david chang is like closes his eyes and sammo hung is like nodding at first and he closes his eyes to do this and then david chang wakes back up when he's dead and he's like and it's just a funny funny little gag there got me laughing sammo hung's faces are great here But anyways, he agrees.

And then Sammo Hung kind of moves forward with that relationship.

Which I already knew that was going to be good because I saw the first one.

And Sammo Hong is fucking amazing at doing comedy horror.

But this one... sequel's pretty fucking great too

Yeah, I've been actually pretty lucky.

It has all the money in the world on its side.

You can hire whatever our equivalent to Sammo Hung is right now to choreograph your fight scenes and make them more exciting and more fun.

I mean, even if they got, uh, Brett Chan who, who did all the choreography for warrior.

I mean, he does such a good job with that.

yeah like there's he's got a sequel to shaolin soccer coming out uh called kung fu soccer nice so yeah yeah that's gonna rule steven chow definitely influenced this movie let's go

to michael for one more

I was going to bring up an old Sammo Hung movie that's a trilogy where they cannot manage the balance between humor and awesome fight sequences.

But I can't remember the name.

Man, it was a heyday for Italian horror movies.

[chuckles] This, Encounters of the Spooky Kind, which is a kung fu zombie movie directed by Sammo Hung.

The Erotic Nights of the Living Dead.

More on the mainstream side, The Fog, Friday the 13th, The Hearse, Hell of the Living Dead, a Bruno Mattei film.
