BMFcast 593 – Red Sun Rising – Death Jab for Cutie

Red Sun Rising (1994) brings us Don “The Dragon” Wilson as a Japanese cop whose partner is killed by an assassin with supernatural powers (James Lew). When the assassin and his boss look to start a gang war in Los Angeles, it’s up to Don to stop them, with the help of Mako, Michael Ironside, and Terry Farrell. Can this movie death punch its way to Jox?

BMFcast 577 – Tai Chi Master – Pole-tron

Tai-Chi Master (1993) returns Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh to the show, with Jet Li and Siu-Ho Chin along for the ride. Directed by the legendary Woo-Ping Yuen, it’s a wire-fu tale of two young monks who get kicked out of their monastery for being too good at kung fu. They eventually end up on opposing sides of a revolution. The story isn’t the point, though. It’s all about the amazing fight scenes. And we can tell you that these scenes deliver. Is it enough to get the coveted 5-jox award?

Spoiler: it involves a lot of jump kicks, katanas and CG blood. Does this movie jump to the top of our ninja list or die dishonorably?

BMFcast 566 – 3 Ninjas – The Ninja Trajectory

3 Ninjas (1992) continues NINJANUARY! Three American brothers (Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum) learn from their ninja grandfather the ways of being a true ninja.

Stay tuned, but first…we feast!

They have to save a bus full of diplomats, children and tour guides who have been taken hostage. Featuring some of the most bizarre villains we’ve ever seen, does this ninja movie that’s more James Bond by way of GI Joe deliver the goods or leave us stranded in the jungle?

TC 2000 (1993) is a mishmash of several better post-apocalyptic films, this one just features way more punching and kicking. BMFcast alums Billy Blanks, Bolo Yeung, Bobbie Phillips and Matthias Hues punch and kick and die and some become sex robots. You know, the circle of life.

BMFcast543 – New York Ninja – Nintendons

New York Ninja (1984/2021) managed to break our collective brains. Sure there’s plenty of talk about this incomplete, unreleased 80s film resurrected by Vinegar Syndrome, but it leads to questions about the nature of art and then the nature of reality. Is this movie real? Is anything real? Who are you people? What’s happening?

Duel to the Death (1983) was sent to us by a passionate listener who REALLY wanted us to watch it, so we did! It’s an over the top kung fu swordplay ninja movie with insane stunts, crazy violence and an annoying soundtrack. What’s not to love?
