Best phone conversation in a movie. Ever.
Chances are you’ve already seen this video, as it just recently blew the fuck up on reddit. Before you see dupes all over the place, know that HiveFunnies posted it first - a seriously entertaining YouTube channel. I have no clue what film this clip is from, but it is truly amazing…

Fun with Dr. Lamb’s severed breasts
Dr. Lamb (1992) is easily among the best CAT III flicks to come out of Hong Kong. It’s extremely well made, beautifully shot and features a great lead performance from Simon Yam. Unlike many CAT III films of the time, it also is presented in a serious manner. Its only real moment of humour occurs...
The Peeping Tom (1997)
Category III (Hong Kong’s 18+ rating) was once almost a guarantee that you were in for a madcap, sleaze-fest full of gore, bad comedy and sickening scenes. This meaning wore off pretty quickly when 1997 rolled by. With a combination of Hong Kong’s handover from Britain to China, a turn to digital video, and, I...
Firecracker - US poster
This poster for Cirio Santiago’s topless karate masterwork Naked Fist, also known as Firecracker, was made in that strange time when movie advertisements had a soul.

The Boomerang Crane
I haven’t seen any of the Sukeban Deka television series, nor have I read the manga, but I thoroughly enjoyed Sukeban Deka the Movie (1987) and its sequel, Sukeban Deka the Movie 2: Counter-Attack from the Kazama Sisters (1988). While the movies assume a prior knowledge of the show and characters, there’s enough action and...
Ankle Biters (2002)
I remember the flutter of excitement I felt when I came across the title Ankle Biters. Vampires with dwarfism! With an IMDB rating sitting at 1.3, I knew it wasn’t going to be pretty, but I just had to check it out. ANKLE BITERS USA, 2002, Adam Minarovich “Three feet tall with two inch...
Vampire’s Breakfast (1987)
There’s little I find more satisfying than a successful blind buy. On my way to Tokyo earlier this year, we had a 24 hour stopover in Hong Kong. My only goal for this brief period of time was to visit Hong Kong Records and grab a bunch of cheap DVDs. After buying a few familiar...
Werewolves on Wheels - US poster
I vaguely remember watching Werewolves on Wheels (1971) about five years ago with a bunch of pals. We were excited about the title and the concept, but unfortunately the movie was painfully boring consisting mostly of drawn out scenes of bikers drinking in the desert. I dunno, maybe I should give it a second chance....
Use the mahogany nail!
Vampire’s Breakfast (1987) is an enjoyable slice of Hong Kong horror-comedy. While nothing special, it’s very watchable and features a fun ending involving flying severed heads. If you’re planning on watching the whole film, avoid this clip as it ruins the film’s payoff and final showdown…
Eating Schoolgirls: Osaka Telephone Club (1997)
When watching this, I wound up turning off the subtitles. My level of Japanese language comprehension is low, despite having studied it for the past year or two, but even I could see that the subtitles were purely guesswork and did not match up at all with what characters were saying. Only understanding words and...
