The master

Movie Info:
Director: Tony Liu Jun Guk
Cast: Chen Kuan Tai, Johnny Wang Lung Wei, Yuen Tak, Candy Wen Xue Er, Chan Lau, Lam Fai Wong
Original Title: Bei Pan Shi Men
Production Country: Hong Kong 1980

Review:
Gao Jian (Yuen Tak) is a low-ranking kung fu student frequently bullied whose fortunes change when he begins training with a wounded kung fu expert (Chen Kuan-tai) hiding from the ‘Three Devils.’ Forced to leave his school, Gao returns a year later to get revenge for the kung fu expert’s death at the hands of the Three Devils and to free his school from their subjugation.
Oh, how the mighty had fallen. Once the dominating force in Hong Kong filmmaking, by 1980 Shaw Brothers was reduced to following the trends of upstart independent filmmakers. But these upstarts were no lightweights. Filmgoers had grown weary of tragic swordplay epics and Bruce Lee rip-offs. The people wanted kung fu they could laugh at and Yuen Wo-ping and Jackie Chan were just what the doctor ordered. Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow (1978) was Jackie’s first major hit and set a new direction for the genre to follow. Not only did comedy kung fu flourish for a number of years, but so did films that aped the plot. SB’s The Master was one such film that worked both angles to great success thanks to competent direction, excellent kung fu action, and fine performances.
The Iron Monkey star Chen Kuan-tai is the kung fu master hiding from three “parasites of the martial arts field” who have wounded him. He makes his way to a kung fu school where a cheeky student of low rank named Gao Jian (Yuen Tak) nurses him back to relative health in secret. His own master Shi (Lau Hok-nin) is apparently a ‘poser’ when it comes real kung fu know how and most of Gao’s fellow students simply abuse him. Gao begins training under Chen’s expert guidance. A fair amount of time is spent in training that incorporates the breaking of many clay tiles, plus sword work. As with the choreography, the training is all shown very clearly with logical cause and effect while the purpose behind each action is explained. This is a welcome departure from so many esoteric explanations and displays of kung fu that lesser productions feature. An unwise plan to raise money for Chen’s medicine leads Gao to a brothel where one of the Three Devils is being entertained by throwing taels of gold at topless women. This only gets Gao into hot water with master Shi. But Shi really explodes when Gao makes another mistake by displaying the kung fu he’s learned, thus exposing that he’s gone behind his master’s back to study kung fu with a rival expert. In order to escape punishment, Gao leaves just before the Three Demons catch up with Chen and then proceed to take over the kung fu school. Gao returns a year later ready to get revenge and free his school.
The Master is hardly original or even engaging when it comes to the plot or the comedy bits, but it excels in the key element of filming great kung fu sequences with inviting clarity. The opening teahouse duel between Kuan-tai and Johnny Wang, who plays the leader of the Three Devils, sets the standard by which director Tony Liu and choreographer Hsu Hsia manage to maintain. Acrobatics by stunt doubles are thrown in and a reoccurring ‘money shot’ features Johnny Lung’s character doing spinning, mid-air attacks that will take your breath away. Aside from these trampoline-assisted aerial assaults, there is no wirework or reverse camera work. There isn’t even any noticeable use of those obnoxious zoom-ins. The only gimmick used with regularity is slow-motion action shots to emphasize the power of attacks. These and other shots make it easy to follow the action and appreciate its quality.
Yuen Tak, a fellow graduate of the same Chinese opera school that Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung emerged from, delivers an awesome action performance. Truthfully, I don’t care for his acting or the character he plays, but he displays a well-rounded set of physical abilities worthy of the ‘Yuen’ name. His sword-handling in training and in his final bout with Johnny Wang is particularly entertaining. The hilt of his sword has a long tassel hanging from it that Chen earlier explains is designed to confuse an opponent when in motion. Yuen’s foes are fairly entertaining as well. The Three Devils include Johnny Wang as Yan Qing-wang with his Leopard Fist, whose special weapon is a knife attached to the end of his braided hair. This appears long before Yen Shi-kwan used a similar attack against Jet Li in Once Upon a Time in China (1991). The other two characters include Fan San who wields dual blades (Wing Chun knives) and Zhou San-zhao who carries a coat full of darts that he is capable of tossing with expert precision.
The humor in The Master is less successful and only seems to be a have-hearted effort to appease demand. Chan Lau has one of his least interesting roles as the leading tormentor of Yuen, along with Lam Fai-wong. Yuen Tak’s clowning lacks the charm of Jackie Chan or even the lessor Mang Fei. On the flip side, the soundtrack is always complimentary with a combination of orchestral and more upbeat synthesizer music. The camera work is accomplished with nicely done panning shots. The shooting of interior sets and outdoor locations is fairly uniform, although I can always easily spot that distinctive blue sky wallpaper.
There is nothing particularly outstanding about The Master and it seems pretty routine for a 1980 production. Yet there isn’t much to complain about either. Frequent kung fu mayhem of high quality overcomes niggling faults and makes this old schooler worth hunting down.

squash lasagna

Sunday, 28 December 2008

I am officially in Ashland for a week. Here's what I want to do: see my friends, eat pilgrimage at a predrawn list of incomparable restaurants (already down: Morning Glory), wander around the red and spread out light of a Western mountain town for a while, get a Lot of Writing done in Bryan's and Willie's house while they are at their own work, go to The Beanery, which is not at all a good restaurant but for which I have sentimental whirrings, generally indulge in the nostalgia I never allow myself because it's annoying to reward your own memory for simply existing, see Synechdoche, NY a third time (check), maybe visit the chocolate factory, play Bryan's guitars, feel okay about the rain because the rain here is comfortable, not made of steak knives, which it's made of in Massachusetts. There. It's always good to end on a fact.

is this a sitcom or a sycamore?

Monday, 22 December 2008

Kendra Grant Malone tagged me to say seven things about myself. I like her list because they are all facts. Normally I hate talking about myself.

"'I hate talking about myself,' he said, reading it out loud."

So here are seven things about me that are all quotes from shit I have already written. Yes, Depression-era conservation values.

1) "Why is Kenneth Koch still dead? He's the only one I miss."
2) "I've never been that good at taking naps."
3) "Do you dream in verses? No, I dream in consumer reports."
4) "I want my lovers back inside my closet like my favorite coats."
5) "I want to sing like a taxi cab."
6) "I've considered buying Tazers as a gift for all my friends."
7) "When I turn my face under the cold faucet, I am trying to divorce my head."

My short short "Crock" is up on Pequin. There's a whole bloc of listeners both internal demons and postal workers who are, like, "It's about time he wrote a story called crock."

Thanks Steven & Pequin team.

Tomorrow I'm off to the West Coast. Seeya there.

we're changing our heads to mean "slightly off"

Monday, 15 December 2008

My friend Jack Christian just started a blog. What you need to do is go visit it and read his poems. They're this side of cayenne hot with sledding down the ice hill in your socks thrown in. As I endorse barbecue sauce, sheepdogs, mustaches, sipping whiskey and anyone who plays the banjo named Papa Clyde, so do I endorse the poems of Jack Christian.

if i win a printer i'll print you a picture; if i win a t-shirt i will when in your vicinity wear a shirt or not wear a shirt whatever be your will

Wednesday, 10 December 2008

Nerve has picked my essay as one of their Top 25 For 2008. Now they are letting people vote for their favorite 10. In the spirit of my unflagging competitive drive, I am asking you, honeysuckle readers, to vote for me. You should vote for me if you like me, because I might win a t-shirt or a printer. You should vote for me if you hate me, because it will mean more exposure for one of my most embarrassingly confessional pieces and possibly a Dramatic Stain on the Legitimacy of my Career. Maybe you should even vote for me if you like Uriah Heep, who is mentioned in that essay, and who--if I'm not mistaken--is not mentioned anywhere else on God's internet.

THANK YOU I LOVE YOU ALL ACCORDION WINTER STORM

what is with the internet and offensive fish?

Wednesday, 3 December 2008

I have a new collage piece from MC O up at the venerable Shampoo. Other contributors include hotties like Patrick Duggan and Jordan Davis, plus a monkey from Randy Thurman, who has an old man in the new NOÖ, out soon.

I read MC O again the other night and felt like it was written by someone else. I like it. I am proud of it. It will clear up a lot of misconceptions about rural Northern California's "personality," which is not an oxymoron, not if you try hard enough, like if you paint a snake on a cow. Puff a dart into a cow. Paint a snake on it. Rachel Ray. Who cares about personality. Whole Foods doesn't show up in MC O. I'm just not that kind of kid.

My heart's been feeling weird lately. Spinning out and drifting to the corners. Here in the pit crew, we're like "it's Talladega, motherfucker, wake up, drive left, what are you doing, that's the grass" but my heart thinks the driver's seat is a dentist's waiting room. My heart's got his helmet off. I don't even think he's got his foot on the clutch.

Deadlly buddhist raiders

Movie Info:
Director: See-Yuen Ng
Cast: Sing Chen, Kuan Tai Chen, Ta Chuan Liu, Yung Henry Yu
Original Title: Dang kou tan
Production Country: Hong Kong 1972
Review:
A typical Hong Kong film of the early-to-middle seventies. "The Bloody Fists" is yet another entry in the Chinese-versus-Japanese subgenre of martial arts movies, so if you're looking for a novel storyline you'd better look elsewhere. Cackling, meanspirited 'Japanese' villains (led by Shaw Brothers stalwart Chen Kuan-tai) heap unbelievable abuse on the members of a small Chinese village until stocky, mustachioed Chen Sing, a kung-fu expert and a fugitive from the law, finally snaps and gives them a taste of their own brutality. The central conflict of the film involves a secret stash of 'dragon herb'--which cures the plague--and the attempts of the evil Japanese to get their hands on it. If you've seen hundreds of these movies already, there's no need for you to go out of your way to see "The Bloody Fists". The fight scenes are competent but unremarkable and the film doesn't really hit its stride until the end, when Chen Sing and Chen Kuan-tai literally rip into one another on a beach--the former wielding a sai, the latter a nunchaku. The true charm of this film resides in the little things: the soundtrack (listen for the theme from "The Young and the Restless" and even a few seconds of the early Black Sabbath standard 'The Wizard'!), the very unprofessional-looking credit sequence, the crude sets and costumes, and just the atmosphere of the whole damned thing. No one made movies like the Hong Kong independent studios of this period, and if you grew up watching "Kung Fu Theater" on Sunday afternoons as I did, you know precisely what I'm talking about One more thing that makes "The Bloody Fists" entertaining: Chen Kuan-tai's character appears early in the film, but Kuan-tai himself doesn't show up until about a quarter of the way through. He actually has a masked stand-in! For no good reason, because we already know his name and intentions, the character walks around with a black cloth on the lower half of his face. Finally, enraged by the presence of Chen Sing's character, he removes the mask...and one of his henchmen whispers to another, "He's taking it off. That means he'll do it (kill Chen Sing) himself!" Shades of Bela Lugosi and Ed Wood's chiropractor in "Plan 9 From Outer Space"? Yes, that's the kind of silly, tacky film this is! Now you have a pretty good idea of whether or not you'll enjoy it.
