War of the God Monsters | aka The Flying Monster (1985) Review

"War of the God Monsters" Poster

“War of the God Monsters” Poster

AKA: The Flying Monster
Director: Kim Jung-yong
Cast: Kim Ki-ju, Nam Hye-gyeong, Kim Da-hye, Moon Tae-Seon, Kim Uk, Jang Cheol
Running Time: 85 min. 

By Paul Bramhall

Korean cinema was in a strange place during the mid-80’s. After military strongman Chun Doo-hwan essentially elected himself as the country’s president in September 1980 following months of martial law and the infamous Gwangju Massacre in May, filmmakers needed to be extra cautious not to be seen as criticising Doo-hwan’s junta-like rule. To try and take peoples mind off the grim direction that Korean politics seemed to be sending the country towards, it was often cited that Doo-hwan introduced a ‘Three S’s’ policy – representing sex, screen, and sport – to keep peoples minds occupied. The policy was perhaps most ironic for the film industry, as while stories about social problems, real life-events, and any political content was strictly banned, restrictions around showing nudity were actually relaxed.

This led to the erotic cinema boom of the 80’s, and in 1985 the licensing system was changed to a registration one, also allowing for many smaller independent production companies to start making movies. This background is worth detailing, since it was 1985 that director Kim Jung-yong decided to release The Flying Monster onto the world, or as it was to be released in the west, War of the God Monsters. Korean kaiju flicks aren’t exactly common, especially one’s made in the 1980’s, however they’re also not unheard of. In 1967 director Kim Ki-duk made Yongary, Monster from the Deep (which would be remade by Shum Hyung-rae in 1999), and anyone Continue reading

“Full Love” Theatrical Poster

If you’re a fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme, chances are you’ve heard of the completed, but unreleased Eagle Path, which is also known as these other 3 titles: Full Love; Soldiers; and Frenchy.

The action drama – produced by Van Damme’s own Rodin Entertainment – is the star’s first directorial effort since 1996’s The Quest. The project was shot on a budget of about $5 million (much of it, financed by Van Damme himself) on location in Thailand and eventually screened out of competition at the Cannes in 2010.

Audiences at the 2010 Cannes screening offered a mixed reaction (watch Van Damme’s intro). There were even some critics who compared the film’s more ‘out there’ sequences to 2001: A Space Odyssey or Terrence Malick’s Tree of Life. Fans had to wonder: had Van Damme gone Continue reading

What Are the Different Types of Tactical Firearms? An Overview

What is a tactical firearm?

A tactical firearm is a rifle or handgun that has been modified in order to increase its utility. Whereas a normal gun may be made for either self-defense or hunting, a tactical firearm can do both of those things and more.

That’s why many people who work outdoors or in law enforcement prefer tactical firearms. There’s a reason that they’re one of the fastest-growing segments within the firearms market.

So what are some tactical firearms, and how are they different? This article goes into a little more detail on that. Read on!

Tactical Firearms and Training

Tactical Firearms and Training focuses on teaching individuals the use of firearms for self-defense and combat purposes. This training teaches practical knowledge and skills in order to increase the following:

  • situational awareness
  • accuracy
  • techniques
  • mental conditioning

This is designed to provide individuals with the skills needed to properly and efficiently use and handle firearms in varying situations. This requires instruction in safe gun handling as well as in accuracy and speed drills.

This type of training also covers legal, ethical, and moral considerations that always need to be taken into account when using firearms.

Tactical Firearms and Training is beneficial to both experienced and new shooters alike. It allows experienced shooters to hone their skills and become more proficient. This is while it gives new shooters the tools they need to operate firearms safely and accurately.

Types of Rifles

There are many different types of rifles available for tactical firearm use today. Each type also comes in a variety of calibers, so determining which one is best suited to your needs is key. Here are different rifles with their differences:

Rifles Used by Military & Law Enforcement

Designed for modern warfare, military-grade rifles will generally feature longer-range accuracy, reduced recoil, and increased power. Common military rifles include the AR-15, the M-16, and the more powerful M249 SAW, which fires a 5.56mm round.

While the individual requirements of each military and police force will vary, one thing is for sure: robust rifles designed for their specific uses are essential for the modern soldier and law enforcement officer.

Popular Semi-Automatic Rifles

The most popular models are the AR-15 and AK-47. These are designed to fire in semi-automatic or automatic mode and are highly accurate. The AR-15 is lightweight and portable, perfect for close-quarters battle, while the AK-47 is more durable and better suited for long-range warfare.

Other popular semi-automatic rifles for civilian use are the Ruger Mini-14 and the Remington 700. These are ideal for hunting, target shooting, and home defense purposes.

Lever-Action Rifles

Lever Action Rifles are a type of rifle that typically have a tubular magazine mounted beneath the barrel, allowing for fast reloading.

Lever Action Rifles are often used for hunting, recreational shooting, and target practice. They are popular choices for self-defense as well as cowboy-style shooting competitions.

Bolt-Action Rifles

Bolt-action rifles, also known as bolt guns, are manually operated weapons typically used for hunting big game and shooting sports. They require the user to load the cartridges with the help of a manually operated bolt attached to the receiver.

Bolt-action rifles are generally more expensive than other types of rifles and are typically heavier and more suited for one type of target, such as deer or varmint hunting.

Adaptable Modern Sporting Rifles

Modern Sporting Rifles (MSR) are excellent for recreation and competition. MSRs come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and calibers and include the AR-15, AK-47, and M1A, among others.

Some MSRs are designed for hunting large games, while others are fit for precision shooting. MSRs can also be modified with accessories like telescopic sights, extended magazines, and custom stocks.

Types of Shotguns

There are several different tactical firearms types of shotguns available for use. Each of these types of shotguns may be outfitted with various tactical firearm accessories that can be used to enhance the performance of the weapon system.

Pump-Action Shotguns

Pump-action shotguns operate by manually cycling a round through the barrel, ejecting the spent round, and chambering another round in the process.

The pump-action mechanism gives a shooter better control over their rate of fire, allowing them to fire a single round at a time or multiple rounds quickly.

Lever-Action Shotguns

Lever-action shotguns are known for their accuracy, reliability, and ease of use and are capable of firing rounds of high power loads with an average cycle rate of 30 rounds per minute.

Lever-action shotguns can be used for skeet shooting, sporting clay shooting, waterfowl hunting, or hunting small game and are popular with both wing shooters and rifle hunters.

Single-Shot Shotguns

Single-Shot Shotguns are a type of shotgun with a single barrel and no magazine. This makes them incredibly easy to use and maintain, as there is no need for reloading or buying extra ammo.

They’re also lightweight and very user-friendly, making them an ideal option for hunting, target practice, and home defense. Single-shot shotguns come in various gauges – 12, 20, 28, and .410 – with each gauge offering its own set of features and benefits.

Semi-Automatic Shotguns

These guns are capable of firing multiple rounds with a single trigger pull, making them extremely reliable and precise. They are great for home protection, hunting, skeet and trap shooting, and even just recreational use.

The semi-automatic shotguns are designed with a gas-operated system that cycles the gun quickly, meaning they also have shorter barrels that allow them to be easily maneuvered and pointed quickly.

Types of Handguns

Handguns are an important type of firearm that is used in tactical operations or in everyday life for self-defense. Learn more about the different types of handguns and how they differ from each other.

Compact Semi-Automatic Handguns

They are contemporary weapons that offer the highest degree of accuracy and durability. This type of handgun typically has a shorter barrel, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces.

They are generally lightweight and, therefore, easier to handle, making them very popular as concealed carry weapons. They tend to recoil less so the shooter can keep on target in the face of rapid firing.

Revolvers

Revolvers are usually chambered for larger calibers, but many models are available in lesser calibers for concealed carry as well. The revolver is a timeless classic because of its reliability and accuracy.

These handguns utilize a rotating cylinder or wheel to contain the bullets, which is why they are referred to as revolvers. Revolvers can hold between five and nine rounds in the most common sizes, though larger revolvers can hold up to twelve rounds.

Single-Action Pistols

These pistols typically have longer barrel lengths and extended grips for improved accuracy and ease of use. It is commonly equipped with Align Tactical pistol upgrades. Single Action Pistols are single action in mechanism, meaning the hammer must be cocked by hand before the gun can be fired.

They are called “single action” because of the single sequence of events that occurs after the trigger is pulled; the hammer is cocked and then released to strike a firing pin that releases a bullet. The most popular Single Action Pistols are:

  • Colt Single Action Army
  • Smith & Wesson Schofield
  • Ruger Old Army
  • Derringer

Single Action Pistols have been used for centuries for hunting, recreation, and self-defense.

Long-Barrel Revolvers

These handguns feature a barrel that is longer than the standard barrel of a revolver, which makes them perfect for shooting at longer distances.

Originally designed at the turn of the 20th century, long barrel revolvers are attractive to many shooters due to features such as increased accuracy, increased potential for target distances, and increased controllability.

Long barrel revolvers are renowned for their aesthetics and accuracy, with most models including adjustable sights for accuracy at longer distances.

Subcompact Handguns

They have a shorter barrel, width and height than other handguns but still have a sufficient capacity for everyday use. Subcompact handguns come in several different varieties, each with its own set of features and benefits.

Examples of subcompact handguns are the following:

  • traditional revolvers
  • derringers
  • polymer pistols
  • metal semi-automatic pistols
  • pocket pistols
  • double-barrel pistols

Explore These Types of Tactical Firearms

Tactical firearms provide users with the necessary protection and capability to take control any environment. From handguns and SMGs to shoulder firearms, the ability to explore and learn about them is essential to understanding their importance and use.

If you are interested in learning about different types of tactical firearms, it is important to research and find educational resources to help you.

Slate (2021) Review

It could be argued that the swordplay movie has never really fallen out of fashion in Asian cinema, with each decade bringing about a reinvention of the genre in one way or another. Be it Patrick Tam’s The Sword in the 1980’s, Tsui Hark’s The Blade in the 1990’s, Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the 2000’s, or Keishi Otomo’s Rurouni Kenshin series in the 2010’s. Korea has also got in on the action over the years, with the likes of 2005’s Shadowless Sword, 2010’s Blades of Blood, and most recently 2020’s The Swordsman being superior examples of the genre. While the quality of the countries independent action productions ranges from entertaining (Geochilmaru: The Showdown) to dire (Master Heaven: The Greatest Fighter), the gamble that dedicating 90 minutes of your life comes with when watching such movies is one I still find myself willing to take.

Which brings me to 2021’s Slate, a 2nd starring vehicle for gymnast turned actress Ahn Ji-hye (Project Wolf Hunting) after her physically demanding dramatic turn in 2019’s Our Body. After being taken into care as a child due to her alcoholic father being deemed unfit to be a parent, 20 years later Ji-hye’s character is now approaching 30 and struggling to make ends meet as a wannabe action actress. While stunt double roles are readily available, Ji-hye insists on being the heroine of any production she’s cast in, to the point of sliding her CV into a toilet cubicle in which a director of an upcoming action movie is conducting his business. With her sales pitch revolving around Continue reading

Deep Trap (2015) Review

Cast: Ma Dong-Seok, Jo Han-Sun, Kim Min-Kyung, Ji An, Yoon Joo, Kwon Bum-Taek, Kim Dong-Hyun, Min Kyung-Jin, Jeong Gi-Seop, Kang Seung-Wan

By Paul Bramhall

In the Korean film industry the mid-budget genre piece has become increasingly rare in recent years, with the international success of 2019’s Parasite and the 2021 Netflix series Squid Game seemingly widening the gap when it comes to production budgets. These days the biggest budgets tend to go to the most mainstream productions with potential crossover appeal, while smaller budgeted indie productions increasingly focus on hard edged tales of social woe and gritty realism. The result is that we no longer see as many modestly budgeted genre pieces like 2015’s Deep Trap, which is a shame as the creative talent behind them are surely still there.

In the case of Deep Trap the talent in the director’s chair is Kwon Hyeong-jin, and the production would mark his final time (as of the time of writing) to direct a full-length feature since his debut with My Piano in 2006. In between he’d helm the 2008 thriller Truck, swiftly followed by the drama Wedding Dress in 2010, marking his filmography as that of a reliable journeyman director that could be banked on to create entertaining slices of mid-budget cinema Continue reading
