Ninja Champion | aka Poisonous Rose Stripping the Night (1986) Review

"Ninja Champion" Theatrical Poster

“Ninja Champion” Theatrical Poster

Director: Kim Si-hyun
Co-director: Godfrey Ho
Cast: Choe Eun-hye, Im Ja-ho, Dragon Lee (Mun Kyong-sok), Baek Hwang-ki, Richard Harrison, Bruce Baron, Pierre Tremblay, Yoon Yang-Ha, Park Se-bum
Running Time: 87 min. 

By Paul Bramhall

There are only 2 types of people in the world who’d want to watch Ninja Champion – those who enjoy cut ‘n’ paste Godfrey Ho ninja flicks, and those who want to check out an obscure slice of 80’s Korean cinema. I fall into the latter half of the equation, so having to endure occasional detours into watching Caucasian guys dressed in brightly coloured ninja outfits (complete with ‘NINJA’ branded headbands) is a trade-off I was willing to accept to watch Poisonous Rose Stripping the Night.

The cut ‘n’ paste style of filmmaking being referred to is a technique that Godfrey Ho and his IFD Films cohorts increasingly resorted to in the 80’s, seemingly unable to muster the energy to direct a whole movie himself, and realising such a technique was an effective way to make a quick buck. The deal was, realising that western audiences were in the midst of a ninja craze, Ho would purchase movies to distribute from the likes of Thailand, the Philippines, and Korea on the cheap. In the case of Thailand sometimes he’d even purchase semi-completed productions. He’d then shoot new scenes involving ninjas with a recurring group of Caucasian actors, splice them Continue reading

Everything You Need to Do After a Motorcycle Accident

More than 80,000 motorcycle injuries occur in the United States each year.

Now, 80,000 may seem small compared to the millions of injuries that car crashes result in. However, riders face higher risks of getting injured after a motorcycle accident. For instance, in 2019, they were four times more likely to sustain injuries than car occupants.

For those reasons, it’s vital to know what to do following a motorbike accident. We listed the key steps you need to take in this guide, so be sure to read on.

Check Yourself for Injuries

Traumatic experiences, such as an accident, can lead to a temporary superhuman-like strength. This is a bodily reaction triggered by fight-or-flight hormones. It can make you feel numb enough that you may think you don’t have any injuries.

So, as soon as the initial shock of the accident wears off, check if you have any injuries. If you’re steady enough to walk, see if anyone else involved in the crash needs medical assistance. Call emergency help if you or anyone else has severe injuries, has fainted, or is unresponsive.

Report to the Police

Most US states have specific thresholds for reporting road accidents to the police. These are usually based on the estimated amount of property damage. All states require immediate reporting for incidents that result in injuries and death.

Twelve states, such as Alabama and Florida, have a $500 property damage threshold. California and seven others set this at $1,000. A few, including Nevada and Ohio, require police reporting for all crashes.

With that said, it’s always a good idea to call the police while you’re still at the scene of the crash. Even if you’re not required to, the police can help by giving you instructions on the next steps you should take.

Swap Insurance Details With the Other Motorists

Ask the other motorists to show you their driver’s license and auto insurance card. The law requires most US motorists to carry both, so there’s no reason for the other drivers not to show them to you. Copy their personal, contact, and insurance information as shown on the documents.

If the other driver doesn’t want to, they may be an unlicensed or uninsured motorist. This is another good reason to call the police, as they can tell you what to do and how to deal with an uninsured driver.

Collect Photographic Evidence and Witness Statements

Take as many photos and videos of the scene before you leave. It’s a good idea to take and record statements from witnesses, too. You should also get in touch with your insurance provider for further instructions.

Go in for a Medical Check-Up

Once you leave the scene, your next stop should be a medical clinic or your doctor’s office. Do this even if you feel okay or only have a minor motorcycle accident injury. Remember: accidents can cause hidden injuries, such as sprains, strains, and brain injuries.

By seeing a doctor right after your accident, you can catch such injuries early on. You can get prompt treatment before they develop into chronic conditions. Besides, you’ll need to show medical records once you file an insurance claim.

Take These Steps Right After a Motorcycle Accident

Calling the police and seeing a doctor are the most crucial things to do after a motorcycle accident. The first one could prove vital to your insurance claim or in case you decide to file a lawsuit. The second is necessary for your health, as the accident may have resulted in hidden injuries.

Research Reveals The Top 21 Gambling Movies

As the sphere of online casinos continues to grow and grow, gamers everywhere are getting in on the fun.

In addition to online versions of casino classics, the buzz of gambling has been recorded by some of the world’s finest filmmakers. Certainlyt, some of our favourite films have revolved around the romantic nature of gambling.

From classics to modern hits, film has for years been interested in the casino. Now, a recent study carried out by NewCasinoSites looks to rank the top 21 gambling movies of all time based on scores from some of the web’s top review sites. This is a league table that throws up some very surprising findings.

In this article, we will be considering how research reveals the top 21 gambling movies, providing an in-depth study into the top films of them all.

Without further ado, let’s get going with a peek at the finest gambling movies of all time according to this new list of the 21 best.

Making the list of the top 21 gambling movies

How was the list of the top 21 gambling movies of all time compiled?

Research blends mean scores from top movie review sites IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes to offer up a total result. This number is then looked at with reference to the score achieved by other flicks to make a league of the 21 top gambling movies.

The Top 21 Gambling Movies: Best of the rest

Before we unveil the winner, let’s look at some movies that didn’t make the top three.

One of our personal favourites is Casino (1995), a movie that clocked in at fifth on the list of the top 21 best movies with a score of 80.5%. A modern classic from Scorsese looking at the life of Samuel ‘Ace’ Rothstein, this film is beloved for its epic script, amazing clothes and a stunning central cast of Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci and Sharon Stone.

Gambling movies such as Ocean’s Eleven, The Colour of Money and The Hangover placed highly in the list of the top 21 gambling movies too, though there will be some unhappy that their movie didn’t win!

The Best 3 of the Top 21 Gambling Movies

Many were unsurprised to see that the number one film was Casino Royale (2006), clocking in with a result of 87%. Ushering in a new era, this movie includes what many enthusiasts agree is the definitive Bond gambling scene as Craig fights with Mads Mikkelsen’s villainous Le Chiffre at the poker table in a high-stakes game. Adored by Bond aficionados everywhere as a modern classic in the series, Casino Royale offers everything you could want from a 007 flick and a gambling movie.

Mr Lucky (1943) came in second, a classic directed by H.C. Potter with Cary Grant in the lead role. Whilst not as well known among younger cinephiles, this movie is nonetheless a worthy contender for the best gambling movie of them all.

Third was Rounder (1998), a slick movie with a golden cast of Matt Damon, Ed Norton and John Malkovich. Beloved by cinema fans, this may be somewhat less well known than others on our list, but Rounder is still a high-class casino film that is worth a watch!

Crazy Samurai Musashi | aka Crazy Samurai: 400 vs. 1 (2020) Review

"Crazy Samurai Musashi" Theatrical Poster

“Crazy Samurai Musashi” Theatrical Poster

Director: Yuji Shimomura
Cast: Tak Sakaguchi, Kento Yamazaki, Yousuke Saito, Ben Hiura, Arata Yamanaka, Fuka Hara, Kosei Kimura, Nobu Morimoto, Akihiko Sai, Masaaki Takarai
Running Time: 92 min.

By Paul Bramhall

Crazy Samurai Musashi is one of those movies that’s journey to the screen is just as interesting as the movie itself, spanning over 10 years before it eventually arrived in 2020. Initially announced as a collaboration between Japanese action icon Tak Sakaguchi (here once more billed as Tak ∴, as he was in Re:Born) and auteur director Sono Sion in 2009, Blood of the Wolves was intended to be a genre mash-up containing elements of chanbara, kung fu, monsters, and zombies. The pairing of Japan’s leading action star and most distinctive director was an exciting one, however 2 years later there was still no sign of it, and in 2011 it was announced the project was now going under the name Kenkichi.

By this point Takaguchi and his stunt team had been training for a year so that they could execute what was planned to be an ambitious 10-minute single take action scene. While Sion had been attached to Blood of the Wolves in the capacity of scriptwriter, by the time Kenkichi came around he was credited as being co-director along with Sakaguchi himself. Unfortunately, somewhere along the way Sion dropped out, and the production was left with a leading man and action Continue reading

Today’s Deal on Fire is the Blu-ray set for the Sister Street Fighter Collection, featuring artwork by Kungfubob O’Brien of 36 Styles and a load of supplemental treats.

Still a teenager at the time, Etsuko Shihomi (Soul of Chiba) exploded onscreen in her first leading role and created a new character type: a tough fighter who was fierce, fearless, good-hearted, and decidedly non-sexualised, a departure from Toei’s typical formula.

In 1974’s Sister Street Fighter, Shihomi is the half-Chinese, half-Japanese Li Koryu, who travels to Yokohama to investigate Continue reading
