Kung Fu Trailers of Fury [Blu-ray] [2017]

I used to have the two vols of Grindhouse trailers, which are fun. Watched a pick ups vid on YT and this title was in there.My knowledge of Kung fu flicks is pretty limited - Bruce, Shaw bros and Sonny Chiba!So going in here, obviously wanted the cheesy fun that is here in spades, but was half looking to see what films i might actually like to search out for a watch.This did that really well - lot's of cool and lot's of ridiculous all under one roof.The trailers run 2 hrs and then you get a 30 min doc 'A brief history of Kung Fu movies' and finally a 10min feature on the Cube Cinema in Bristol.For a fiver this is a nice buy for the enthusiast or the layman, I've ordered 6 fu films after watching this and there's a few more i may add to my collection as well.Super fun and Entertaining viewing.I loved it.9/10^,..^

OK

You'll have to provide your own broken seats and sticky floors, but these chop-socky trailers do bring back a big chunk of the grindhouse experience. Found in a UK Chinese restaurant/failing repertory cinema, the 31 trailers are from the golden age of Bruceploitation through the rise of kung fu comedy (1972 - 1983). The prints are crappy but watchable, the badly translated subtitles are often hilarious, and the movies run the gamut from acknowledged classics to such weirder-than-weird obscurities as KUNG FU VS. YOGA. (Gotta love ONE-ARM CHIVALRY FIGHT AGAINST ONE-ARM CHIVALRY for the title alone.)Ric Meyers and Frank Djeng do an informative tag-team history of kung fu cinema in one of the special features. I'm saving the four-man audio commentary with Meyers and his friends for another day.

A collection of trailers for old kung-fu films might not be everyone's idea of fun, but in a world where a Kardashian could fart into a goblet and get 100 million viewers, I'll take it. Yes there are some cheesy ones, but there's some belting titles in there like 'Shaolin Wooden Men', 'Blazing Temple' (which means the prize for most over-the-top self promotion), 'Two Champions of Shaolin' and many more. There are even a few titles that got put on the watch-list of this self-appointed genre expert and that's no mean feat. All trailers seem to be the original HK ones which in itself makes the film a wonderful piece of cinematic history. Now on to part two...
