    There’s a massive amount of new/recent content available from China with multilingual subtitles — whether straight Kung fu action movies or any number of period, police/thriller, wuxia, xianxias or period dramas, there’s almost always choreographed fight scenes in cdramas. The question is the frequency and quality of action sequences.

    Glad you brought it up@[email protected]!

    There are very many full seasons of action cdramas as well as movies available on YouTube on a free ad-supported basis or on the free ad-supported tier for subscribers (either browser-view or in app).

    Some, like YOUKU with ***Mystic Nine***(2026) seem to be posting slightly shorter versions of the episodes for unpaid/nonVIP viewers. So, we’d need to consider what the cutdown versions are missing in those cases, and whether they are still worth viewing.

    I have been meaning to suggest some of the newer Mainland China monster movies to @Taweret as options for Monsterdon. They typically run 1:07 minutes so double-features are quite possible.

    I’ve been running *The Ark* watch parties
    Saturday afternoons but once we’re finished season three (currently in broadcast), I would be interested to help host some newer Mainland Chinese content — perhaps if someone more knowledgeable about cdramas and Chinese culture (such as @liztai) — would join in.

    Two Chinese YOUKU original monster movies that might be good for Monsterdon but less for Kung Fu Saturday are:

    ***The Megladon Returns*** (2024) a mix of bad science, Kaiju and *Jaws* youtube.com/shorts/cUeRQMG8QGE

    ***Monster Hunt*** (2015), a very successful live action + cgi film from the animators of *Shrek* where a man gets pregnant with a radish alien. Yes, there is a sequel. youtu.be/ANWMiDHULkU

    Other than the *Lost Tomb* IP/franchise, including *Mystic Nine*, I haven’t given too much thought to what might be popular for more general action audiences but it’s worth thinking about.
