Sleazy Movies Made in Hong Kong | Video Essay

[@AccentedCinema]

The real question is, which of these movies should we cover in the future?

[@MasoTrumoi]

Jiang Shi movies.

[@jesterdans]

Future cops for sure

[@dimitrescu182]

Game of Death and that Bruce Lee in Underworld movie

[@AndMoreso]

More people must know about Bewitched. It’s so iconic and ruthless.

[@lartrak]

The gambling sub genre might be worth a bigger dive. It's such an interesting and specific sub genre and has a lot of films (good and bad) with some of the biggest stars of the day. Doesn't need to be too long either, as they do get repetitive. You can probably cap it off with some commentary on the From Vegas To Macau trilogy and the changes in the HK market since 1997.

"Mr Vampire" is regular viewing in our household. I've seen it so many times but still laugh out loud. It's the perfect horror-comedy film.

[@pingpong5877]

This reminds me of the countless Ip Man films that came out after Donnie Yen's Ip Man became a success. It's like the Wong Fei Hung films of the 80s and 90s. Both have become national icons and folklore heroes for China.

Dude, what I love about your channel is that you speak directly from a place of love. All of these movies I can tell that you simultaneously love and hate. Without saying the cliche terms of "so bad it's good" or "hate watch", you describe the feeling of watching a movie that you know is just not something you can comfortably recommend to someone, but also one that you know that you absolutely adore to watch and one that if someone were to leave behind their critical eye, they can simply enjoy themselves! Love these videos, man.

[@illithidlore]

I love Stephen Chow. Saw Kung Fu Hustle, then Shaolin Soccer, then my friend is from China (family moved to the States when he was a baby) has introduced me to so many others. I think God of Cookery is actually my favorite.

I grew up in that era in Hong Kong and can admit that the phrase used in this video ("Hong Kong flick" in Chinese) was usually used to imply a low-quality / trashy / low-budget flick. I didn't watch a lot of the films listed but the video definitely brings back a lot of childhood memory including the deluge of gambling movies, jinagshi (Chinese zombies) movies, and Crazy Safari lol. It wasn't until I moved to the US before I found that (and was surprised) HK films from particular eras are actually quite appreciated and influential in the film circles and I didn't watch a lot of the good famous HK film classics until I moved away.

[@cessnaace]

Not to mention the 'Angel' craze. After the success of "Iron Angels" (1987) w/Moon Lee (Moon Lee Choi-Fung ) there were a ton of Hong Kong films with either 'Angel' or 'Angels' in the title. There were 2 direct sequels to "Iron Angels," both w/Moon Lee, but many more Angel films. Some had Moon Lee in them, like "Angel Enforcers," "The Revenge of Angel," "Angel Force," Angel Terminators II," and "Angel's Project." Some didn't. I'd love to see you do a video on Moon Lee some day. I've also seen some crazy films out of India. "Dhamaal" is an unofficial remake of two American films, "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World" (1963) and "Rat Race" (2001). Strange seeing Mad World as a musical. It also spawned a number of sequels.

[@theneonchimpchannel9095]

I don't know if it's from Hong Kong, but there's this film that has been a mystery in my household for over 20 years now and it would fit in with the style of some of the films shown here. It was shown really late at night on SBS (Australia's home of world movies and foreign language entertainment as well as cult cinema and special interest programming) and my mother and I just happened to catch the end of it. We've always wondered what it was and where it was from as it looked insane from what we saw. It was a long time ago and my memory of the film has reduced it to 1 scene. The bad guy has lost his eyebrows (I can't remember how it happened) and so he's going around with band-aids where his eyebrows should be. He goes into a convenience store and has an argument with a young woman who ends up saying (at least according to the subtitles) "No eyebrows? Serves you right!". I've asked a lot of people about this movie but no one has ever been able to identify it. I'd love to be able to track it down one day and watch it from the start as it looks like a fun movie. I'm guessing from the way it looked, it was probably made in the 70s or 80s but I could be wrong. I wish I could remember more about it.
