| 06.29.13 | Marchesa | This Screening is part of event: AFS Old School Kung Fu Weekend 2013 Next up was Invincible Armour and the first dubbed film of the weekend. Dan said the print came from a guy in the UK and that the soundtrack lifted some cues from various Italian westerns which gives it an unusual energy you don't often see in Kung Fu movies. I'm not sure if the trailer reel had a theme this time out (perhaps just dubbing), but they showed FISTS OF VENGEANCE and DRAGON DE FUEGO. So, at this point my notes kind of break down. Despite the dubbing I don't remember much about the plot of this one at all. I feel like there's some guy who never got laid so he has this armor Kung Fu that only has one weak pressure point and... it could be his balls. The beginning credits played like an educational video for learning the Eagle Claw, then there's a whole bunch of Eagle Claw fighting and this one guy is invincible and it turns out he spent ten years repositioning his one vulnerable pressure point and I don't remember where it ended up being but it could be his balls. Here's an itemized list of the notes I took: -spikeyballs on nuts -40 year old monkey holding a knife?? -broken eggs -bastard! -the hero has a most amazing way of exiting scenes (jumping through windows, backflip diving with double gainer and half twist) -"Well I suppose that I am" -Armour enhanced by celibacy -Iron Finger!!! |
