In the 1976 Chinese kung fu flick Master of the Flying Guillotine (which incidentally had a krautrock soundtrack), the protagonist — the One-Armed Boxer — squares off against Yoga Tro La Seng, a yoga master with the power to stretch out his limbs ridiculously. Yoga Tro La Seng also throws a bird at our hero, but that's (rather shockingly) less interesting in the grand scheme of things. More »

Ten years ago, superhero films and video-game films were both minor genres. You had your Batman Forever and your Mortal Kombat, but not much else. Both genres blew up in the 2000s, but superhero films won much bigger. For now. More »

The live action Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun Li movie team has managed to accomplish the impossible. The new posters for the big action video game movie not only make the main character sexy-kicking-legs-for-days Chun Li look like a pasty albino but also manage to present the gorgeous Kristin Kreuk photoshopped beyond all recognition. If hottie Smallville alum Kreuk as the title character is the number one selling point in a movie, tell me why they would make her look like something found underneath a rock in a cave? I dread to think what they have install for Bison. More »
