Brandon's Cult Movie Reviews: THE DEADLY DUO

[@TheBrandonTenold]

From the studio that brought you "Mighty Peking Man" & "Infra-Man", it's "The Deadly Duo"!

[@ImFakeStation]

gotta be first reply

[@Mateus_Carvalho]

...and surprisingly less nuts than that second one.

[@wugglesx]

tbh was expecting jackie chan or things to get pretty crazy. lol wasnt exactly disappointed xD came for the title and stayed for all the references

[@evildoughboy7773]

Cheesy 70s Kung Fu flicks are just a step below cheesy 70s and '80s monster flicks for me. Simply the Best in my childhood late night TV binging.

A bridge of doom and not ONE Monty Python and the Holy Grail sting? Opportunity missed by a mile!

[@mightyfilm]

Wasn't expecting a Crayon Shinchan reference, but it's appreciated.

[@monstermash1571]

I don't think enough people talk about how hilarious Brandon is. Every single thing he says is funny. You have awesome comedic timing! Your content is a joy to watch.

[@ajbahlam]

I follow Brandon mainly for his humour, as I am not really a Godzilla fan.

[@grimdolo918]

@@ajbahlam Agreed. I really don't care what movie he's doing, I know it'll be entertaining.

I subscribed to Brandon for almost 2 years now, mainly for the comedy. I am not really a kaiju/godzilla fan.

[@NarcolepticProphet]

EVERY SINGLE THING? really?...

[@a.m.pietroschek1972]

Plenty of us cannot afford to pay #BrandonTenold, which is the real prob. Else he could make the better movie versions, instead of just moderating & reviewing. #Canada #Hollywood

[@dinosoid2000]

The Deadly Duo? Can't wait for Brandon's eventually review of Heroic Trio. Now there's a Hong Kong cult classic.

[@SAM-ru4vx]

Everybody been saying "let's go"

[@JanPospisilArt]

Oh shit yes.

[@ConstantineFurman]

But it has to be the original Hong Kong version, preferably with the original international dubbing. The redubbed, censored one Miramax released is unacceptable.

[@ImInLoveWithBulla]

Follow that with Fant4stic just so he can have an excuse to go on and review 5 Deadly Venoms.

[@FP194]

His real name is Yang Sze then after Enter the Dragon he started going by Bolo Yeung the name of his character

[@supravlieg]

Shaw Brothers, Bolo Yeung and video game references. It doesn't get any better folks!

[@doublep1980]

Brandon: ''...who the hell are these people anyway?'' Movie character: ''The 2 men hiding in the trees & on the ground, were Tree Man and Mole Man...." Well... of course they are!

[@Neville60001]

Or Saturday afternoon Kung Fu theater (carried on WUTV, Channel 29, Buffalo, New York, which I as a kid saw here in Toronto.)

[@jadedcrusader1767]

the ending is refencing a legend of a a samurai that held a bridge after his death

[@grapeshot]

Man the Bridge of Doom has the ultimate toll price. They kept falling through the bridge is if their names were Wiley Coyote or Yosemite Sam.

All that bridge was missing was a giant octopus or a wizard asking about favorite colors defending it.

[@ronaldowens5025]

There are a few crippled kung-fu movies, most of them actually use deformed or amputated caste for the hero's, they are amazing to watch seeing just how capable they can be.

[@ZION73082]

With Ghostbusters: Afterlife coming out next week it's appropriate to end on the famous NES game's end screen lol ;3

[@jamesabernethy7896]

I haven't been catching your videos on release lately. Using them as workout videos, your videos never disappoint. It makes me happy when one of yours is the right length to splice together with something else to make the right length for workout session. If I had to make a mount Rushmore of KZbinrs, you'd be one of those faces.

[@ajclements4627]

Shaw Bros films are always good for a few laughs lol.

[@TGMShoNuff]

OMG I would love to see Brandon review "Brutal Boxer". I would love to see his reaction on some of the worst cinematography xD LOL I love the Shaw Brothers, man. Cheap, campy, chop socky Kung Fu goodness from the grunts to the weapon sounds. :D

[@markmyers6756]

The perfect movie to watch once on Netflix.

[@Vicerion17]

You went the video game route and you missed the perfect Mallow reference with those cymbals, one of the few to actually wield them, he fit in perfect too, Mole Man, Tree Man, Cloud Guy!

[@megatronjenkins2473]

Great vid, you should do way more kung-fu flicks. May I suggest 'Kung-Fu Zombie', it's from the same director of Infra-Man and has a similar kinetic aesthetic.

I am. Just having my TV dinner with this freaking review, thank you Brandon for making my time great!

[@samminden1058]

2:39 Hi! So I did my MAs in East Asian Studies with a focus on this specific period (and its portrayals in poetry and novels) and can give a quick primer on what's going on here! So in 1126, the Song Dynasty was invaded by Jurchen people of modern day Manchuria who had formed their own Dynasty called the Jin Dynasty (as to WHY they invaded, it's a really long story involving lots of politics, betrayals, and geopolitical rivalries). In 1127, the Jin captured the Song capital of Kaifeng (then called Bianjing) along with the Emperor Qinzong and his father the retired emperor Huizong. The only member of the Imperial family to escape was Prince Zhao Gou, who fled to Southern China to establish a new capital at Hangzhou (then called Lin'an) and himself as Emperor Gaozong. After another 15 years of war, the Jin and Song reached a stalemate and signed a peace treaty leaving the Jin to rule Northern China and the Song to rule Southern China. To differentiate the Song before and after 1127 we call the pre-1127 Song the Northern Song Dynasty and post-1127 Song the Southern Song Dynasty. There are a lot of cool stories, many of which have been made into movies, from this period and the most popular hero from it is easily the tattooed patriot General Yue Fei, who nearly liberated all the lands conquered by the Jin before being betrayed and forced to kill himself by schemes at home.

There actually is a Dynasty Warriors movie on Netflix. It is one of the worst "films" I've ever seen and somehow makes the plot of the games seem like Shakespeare. Definitely worth the watch in the same way that you fixate on looking at a car crash when driving by the scene.

Hey, Ti Lung is in this movie. He's probably most famous for playing Jackie Chan's dad in Druken Master 2 (despite probably only being about 5 years older than Jackie) but I'll always remember him from the Better Tomorrow movies alongside Chow Yun Fat.

[@fletchkeilman2205]

You were right. The deadly duo was Ti Lung and David Chiang Da Wei. They were huge stars that Chang Che made quite a few movies with. You will recognize Ti Lung from his later movies I'm sure, like Drunken Master 2 and A Better Tomorrow.
