The 1970's was an era of extravagant hair dos and fashion senses that will test the contrast option on your television settings! It was also the time of the Kung Fu Boom and therefore the inevitable attempt of Hong Kong studios to attempt to cash in. Long before Jackie Chan made his first crack at international stardom, we got “Slaughter in San Francisco” aka “Yellow Faced Tiger” with Wong Tao in the lead and Lo Wei at the helm. Throw in Chuck Norris as the bad guy with the incredible chest hair and you have a movie that is pure 1974, released by Eureka Entertainment in their latest addition to their collection.

Beef is one of the best Netflix shows in recent memory. The show takes a very simple premise and expands on it to create a complex character study of two people from different backgrounds mired in their own existential crises. Steven Yeun and Ali Wong are the stars of Beef’s first season, but its showrunner Lee Sung Jin already has ideas for where the series could go with different people in the spotlight.
‘Beef’ is a darkly delicious dramedy about miserable people
Beef ignites when Danny Cho (Yeun) nearly gets in a car accident with Amy Lau (Wong) in the parking lot of a home improvement store. For reasons the characters spend most of the season trying to unpack, the situation escalates into an intense road rage incident that neither party can move on from.

The same year which would see the release of Tsui Hark's much celebrated wuxia outing “Zu Warriors from the Magic Mountain” coincided with Chang Pang-yee's “The Night Orchid” arriving in cinemas. Even though the former is more known among cinephiles, both movies share a similar approach to their stories, a blend of martial arts and sword fighting, spiced with humour and fantasy. Also known as “Demon Fighter” or “Faster Blade Poisonous Darts”, the latter is an adaptation of Gu Long's novel of the same title, and typical for the kind of genre features the Taiwanese movie industry had been known for at the time. While Chang Peng-yi does not divert from the formula too much, perhaps “The Night Orchid” is worthwhile due to its visuals, which often border on being surreal or even going into horror territory.

The electric comedy series "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" is set to deliver a gloriously satisfying conclusion in its fifth and final season on Prime Video. Known for its blustering pace and whip-smart dialogue, the show offered a glimpse into the life and career of a housewife turned comedienne during one of the most exciting time periods in New York City's history. The swinging sixties opened up new avenues and opportunities for entertainers of every ilk, who flocked to Greenwich Village to appear on stage in hip, smoke-filled clubs like the infamous Gaslight Café on MacDougal Street. Winning numerous awards over multiple seasons, series star Rachel Brosnahan took inspiration from a number of performers to bring Midge Maisel to life when it was her time to shine in the spotlight.

“Do you have a breast pump?”
This is how Ali Wong greets my visibly third-trimester self when we meet up at Etta in Culver City for lunch in February. By the time we make it to our table, she is already whipping out her phone to text her assistant to deliver a pump to my apartment, and she spends the first 15 minutes of her interview focused on my pregnancy: how many weeks I’m along, how I felt during my glucose test (she’s the only person who’s ever asked me about that often-nauseating experience) and her three must-brings to the hospital for delivery (a breastfeeding pillow, a nice blanket from home and a pack of Depends).
“I really miss being pregnant,” sighs Wong, 40, who famously was with child for each of her first two stand-up specials, 2016’s Baby Cobra and 2018’s Hard Knock Wife. “Sometimes it feels a...

In the early 1990s, the performance of the Chinese men’s table tennis team was at a historic all-time low. As the head coach during that time of crisis, Cai Zhenhua was entrusted with the challenging task of forming a new team. Led by the so-called “Five Great Generals”, players Ma Wenge, Wang Tao, Ding Song, Liu Guoliang as well as Kong Linghui, and after a period of arduous training, the team finally prevailed at the 1995 World Table Tennis Championships in Tianjin to return to the pinnacle of the sport.
This movie is based on real-life historical events, and pays tribute to the spirit of unity, perseverance and hard work in Chinese table tennis.

The actress, writer, and comedian first made a splash on the streamer with her two insanely funny stand-up specials, "Baby Cobra" and "Hard Knock Wife." She then went on to voice characters in their hit animated shows "Tuca & Bertie" and "Big Mouth."

Disney’s “The Lion King” was the big VFX winner Wednesday at the 18th annual Ves Awards at the Beverly Hilton, grabbing three prizes. Meanwhile. Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” won for supporting VFX and feature compositing.
This now gives the edge to “The Lion King” (supervised by three-time Oscar winner Rob Legato) in the VFX Oscar race. Jon Favreau’s breakthrough virtual production and faux live-action aesthetic was due to Mpc Film’s accomplished photoreal animation. Of course, “The Irishman” has been given a boost, too. And we shouldn’t count out “Avengers: Endgame,” seeking to become the first Marvel movie to win the VFX Oscar, even though it came away empty-handed for its extraordinary end battle and outstanding character work on Thanos and Smart Hulk.

“The Lion King,” the Disney “live-action” remake that is made up almost entirely of computer-generated characters and backgrounds, has won three awards at the Visual Effects Society’s 18th annual Ves Awards, which were handed out Wednesday night in Los Angeles.
The film won for its virtual cinematography and created environment, and also took the award for Outstanding Visual Effects in a Photoreal Feature, the Ves category that corresponds most closely to the Academy Awards’ Best Visual Effects category.
“The Irishman,” with its extensive use of de-aging technology, won two awards, including Outstanding Supporting Effects in a Photoreal Feature. “Missing Link” was the top animated feature with two awards.

This is a run down of my Top 40 kung fu movies of the 1970′s. There were so many great films in this era, that i just hope i do this list some justice. The movies chosen are just my personal choice, i understand others might have different views.
Any of the movies that make the Top 40 list must have something special to make it in the first place. So i hope you enjoy my Top 40 Kung Fu movies.
