I've only just discovered #kungfusat - Every Saturday, a kung fu movie watch party at 12 noon US Eastern time / 4pm UTC. Now that I know about it, I'll try to give more advance notice about it in future.

This week:

Drunken Tai Chi 笑太極 (1984) with Donnie Yen, directed by Yuen Woo-Ping

Oh, awesome! Too bad I have a weekly gym meetup at that time...

Pity, it was fun. And the... 'toot flow'(?) was much more manageable than #Monsterdon.

oooh, I kinda like the toot flood on Sunday #monsterdons... ofc we're gonna miss some good stuff, but I feel like I'm constantly busy (in a good way!), with watching, reading, typing, etc.

Well, that was a fun ride!

Donnie Yen doing some amazing and just plain bonkers stuff, thanks to Yuen Woo-ping and choreography by "Yuen's Clan" (that is literally the credit in the opening titles).

Highlights include:

  • Donnie in his buff prime
  • Bike fu!
  • Lydia Shum wiping the floor with everyone
  • Fireworks fu!
  • Donnie does Al Bundy from Married... with Children
  • Assassin does Weekend at Bernie's
  • Inkbrush fu!
  • Monkey style
  • Puppet peeing ink like a pervy squid
  • Puppet versus clown
  • Soundtrack of butt rock, disco and electro!
  • Puppet master sifu and turntable aerobics
  • The Hamster Wheel of Death!
  • Call animal welfare :(
  • Yin yang ball!
  • Donnie breaking, popping and locking to an electro version of Tequila!!!!
  • Peach of immortality fu!
  • Finally, some hardcore drinking. Baijiu power-up!
  • In the kingdom of the blind... they'll kick each other's arses!
