The Underappreciated Chu Yen-Ping Appreciation Thread

hey,

[Guest D1 Ma]

As soon as I get a chance!

Wow, that's some JUICY squib !!

[Guest Knetan]

hey,

Chu Yen-ping talks about really experimenting a lot with squibs in the interview included on the HKL dvd of Island Of Fire. The experiment was apparently, how much is too much. Final verdict: go for it!

[Guest Markgway]

Lol, I do recall the film being very bloody.

I´m bringing the topic up just to say that the movie I was asking name for was indeed King of Comic, and not Kid vs Cop as it was suggested.

I received today the "King of Comic" mainland DVD (Tung Ah, very similar logo than Mei Ah), letterboxed and OK video quality (better than VCD at least, hehe), and, to my surprise, the movie indeed had the drunken fist bar fight scene.

BTW, that was the only worthwhile action in the movie, a bad comedy with the horrid kid popping everywhere. Only had a short bit of comic gunplay at the end, not remarkable, although it had a couple of Chu Yen Ping trademark falls

and you went through all that to get it, i could of told you it wasnt all that if you asked

[Guest thundered mantis]

Yeah but what I wanted was to have the movie so I could watch that 4 min. piece of drunken boxing on my telly. So it all went well

Finally I tracked down and watched Requital. Not a great movie, but not bad either. Looked like an ambitious project, almost like OUATIA.

(The squibs looked fine. I especially liked the ones they used in the scene, then they shot a guy with a shotgun. I've never seen anything quite like this )

Chu Yen Ping of Golden Queen's Commanda/Pink Force Commando era is just absolutely wonderful. Ripping off every great scene from Western movies, its scores and whatnot but in such an endearing way it's impossible to dislike. Basically creating a paralell cinema world where anything is possible.

I recently got around to watching 'Pink Force Commando', and gave it the full review treatment over at COF. Check it out via the link -

& of course, who can forget 'King Swindler' -

Did Chu actually direct Pink Force Commando? The print I saw only credited Fu Li.
