AriaHOST
So today we are doing a deep dive into a stack of film critiques, box office stats, and some really cool philosophical analyses.
AriaHOST
And it is all centered on the 2013 Stephen Chow film, Journey to the West, Conquering the Demons.
speaker_1HOST
Which is such a fascinating movie.
speaker_1HOST
It is essentially this crazy prequel to the classic 16th century novel.
Rick MyersHOST
So please, please.
Rick MyersHOST
It's funny, in Kung Fu Hustle, the Chinese version of Kung Fu Hustle, Stephen Chow has an anti-pirating message before the film.
Frank DjengGUEST
If you see the movie, if you saw Kung Fu Hustle in Hong Kong, which I did-
Rick MyersHOST
Oh
37 MINS LATER
Rick MyersHOST
Yeah, it's interesting because Bruce Lee and the Hoy brothers, specifically Michael Hoy, really sort of exploded that.
Rick MyersHOST
I mean, Bruce Lee almost single-handedly gave so many people the will to go on, the will to really, really try.
Rick MyersHOST
Even, you know, even now, Stephen Chow with Kung Fu Hustle is saying it's all about Bruce Lee.
Rick MyersHOST
And before, and it was revelatory because before then most of the cinema was very traditional and very non-Chinese based in a way.
Bey LoganHOST
You see him opposite Zhao Yun-fat in the films Rich and Famous and Tragic Hero, in films like Final Justice.
Bey LoganHOST
As a producer and as an actor, he was involved in the early career of the comic actor Stephen Chow, later to find fame with Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle.
Bey LoganHOST
And he actually, Danny Lee, formed his own production company, which was named after the gun made famous by Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry films, which is called Magnum Films.
Bey LoganHOST
And through Magnum Films, produced a whole series of cop films and was involved in the early career, as I mentioned, of Stephen Chow.
Bey LoganHOST
And he's been a director as well.
Bey LoganHOST
And he and Herman Yao directed Anthony Wong Chow San in the reality-based horror movie Bunman.
33 MINS LATER
Bey LoganHOST
Tommy Wong is in films like The Killer for John Woo and in Touch and Go, which is a movie that Ringo Lam directed.
Bey LoganHOST
directed with Sammo Hung.
Frank DjengGUEST
And she's been popular ever since, you know, often playing mistresses and high-class hookers.
Frank DjengGUEST
So Westerners probably know her for her steamy performance from Wong Jin's Naked Killer, as well as from other films like The Dragon from Russia, Justice by Foot with Stephen Chow, and Rock and Roll Club with Anthony Wong.
Frank DjengGUEST
And she did won Best Actress at the Taiwan Golden Horse Award in 1993 for a performance in Remains of a Woman.
Frank DjengGUEST
But I met her at New Asian Film Festival.
Phoebe KongGUEST
And so I think the Hong Kong movie is finding a new way.
Phoebe KongGUEST
I don't think we will have another Jackie Chan or we will have another Stephen Chow nowadays, but I think they are finding a new way.
Jun LiGUEST
I have a feeling that cinema could become theater in a way that is less and less mass audience-oriented.
Jun LiGUEST
but like a more niche art.
SunnyHOST
哎，好了，都是。
TasukuHOST
算了，算了，是咯，即是周星驰说，说我开戏就够啦，你在那里拍什么，是不是？
SunnyHOST
嗯。
TasukuHOST
是不是？周星驰又说开部新戏了，那么你都给钱的啦，是不是？怎么周星驰自己拿钱呢，其实我都不明，不太明白 啊，不，就是，就是他自己，他自己，他控制番一些东西啦，他需要啊。就是他不用找金主，就是这么说，如果他要找，有多难啊，是不是？周星驰说拍到新戏喔，来年又，你都排着队去给钱他的啦，对不对？就是这个意思咯。可能你都不会问咯，故事讲什么的。所以没有啦，所以，就是电影都是玩完的了，我都话给你听，就是，就是好莱坞都出一些这样的东西了，你还，还，你有什么期待呢？好莱坞喔，大哥，大，大片来的喔，这里其实。不是，不是小片来的喔。
Harrison AtkinsGUEST
I mean, you know, I'm, I'm, um, I love, uh, so many movies, obviously.
Harrison AtkinsGUEST
I'm really into like, um, so like, uh, Hong Kong, like, uh, Molay Tao, uh, Stephen Chow movies.
Harrison AtkinsGUEST
I love, I love comedies.
Harrison AtkinsGUEST
I love like, uh, screwball comedies.
Steven PalmerHOST
Uh, um, Govinda, I think I spoke about him on a previous episode.
Steven PalmerHOST
He's a kind of like, what if Stephen Chow was Indian, but also could really dance? Um, so he- there's a, there's a whole host of really well-loved comedies from the, uh, late '80s and '90s starring Govinda.
Steven PalmerHOST
Um, and, and he's also sort of he's, he's really famous for his dancing ability.
Steven PalmerHOST
Um, but he's just, he's just sort of all these well-loved characters, and there's this sort of load of comedies which, again, I'll talk about one in a minute, which is what he's most remembered for.
Steven PalmerHOST
Um, [laughs] but it's, it's really good.
Steven PalmerHOST
I mean, again, I'm not a musicals guy, but there's, there's a couple of banging songs in this.
Steven PalmerHOST
Um, the comedy, if you like Stephen Chow, I think you'd really understand sort of Govinda and Shakti Kapoor, um, comedy.
Steven PalmerHOST
Um, and it's, it is, it is a genuine classic.
KenHOST
Yeah, it's pretty funny.
KenHOST
It's by Stephen Chow.
KenHOST
He's a great Hong Kong comedy legend.
KenHOST
Anyway, the evil team, evil soccer team has steroids, and I feel like he's got those steroids.
ChambaPANELIST
There's obviously like, you can do a battle damage.
ChambaPANELIST
scratches and whatnot that'd be tight like enter the dragon yeah dude that'd be tight as far as like other actors and whatnot that they could portray that we haven't really seen or that would be like to see uh steven chow from shaolin soccer would be tight or any of his like older films either or you know kung fu hustle one will be sick so i think that would be fun but that one you'd kind of want Because I know each of them come with like two expression heads, which is fine.
ChambaPANELIST
I think it's better than, you know, just having a single one.
ChambaPANELIST
But you'd want like animated.
