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?

Does this one live up to its lauded VHS reputation?

BMFcast 574 – Runaway – The Robot Cops
Runaway (1984) is the Tom Selleck vs spider robots and Gene Simmons movie you probably saw on HBO at some point. In the distant future of 1991, can a cop for robots and his new partner solve a murder mystery involving malfunctioning house bots and self-guided bullets? It’s a Michael Crichton movie, so you know technology is probably a bad thing. But did we decide this movie a good thing? One way to find out!
