    Went looking for streams of The Natural (1984), thought "Yes!" when I saw it on Fawesome, but it turns out it's the 30th anniversary documentary about the making of The Natural. Might be of interest to fans

    Once I sorted the subs issues, I had a great time watching Tai Chi Master!

    Plex also has Wing Chun (1994), also by Yuen Woo-ping with Michelle Yeoh, another on my watch list

    Looks like it's just that film so far. Watched Throne of Blood yesterday and subs *are* available for that, but still not for Tai Chi Master.

    They were a bit delayed but the FastStream browser extension recommended by @asj fixed that

    Watched Throne of Blood on Plex yesterday. Subs were available in Plex player, but 1.5-2 seconds late. So I fired up FastStream & used its sub timing arrows. Problem solved! 👍

    Took some screenshots using the inbuilt tool, but can't find them for the life of me 😆

  11. On his way back from the Dominican Republic (where he helped out with rewrites for an Italian Blue Lagoon rip-off), Cozzi & his producer saw Alien in NYC & decided to make their own "homage". To save money, set on Earth (decades before Alien:Earth)

    Known as Alien Contamination, Contamination, Toxic Spawn, Larvae

  12. Cozzi's 1st commercially-made film was an "extended remake" of a giallo episode he made for TV, & is also available legit free streaming (in some countries), under various titles (as it was banned for violence when originally produced, so re-edited & re-titled)

  22. It's official: Plex have so enshittified their web player that there is now no way to turn on subtitles.

    So all the foreign language films I had bookmarked on Plex, I guess I'll be watching somewhere else. Great job!

    #NowWatching Tai Chi Master (1993) on Fawesome instead

  23. Just found out that:

    - Mercado Play (free streamer for Latin America) now plays videos on Firefox/ZenBrowser (before I needed something Chromium-based)

    - doesn't require an account, at least in private window

    - it has one of my fave films, Heathers (1989) (with English audio option)

    - the Spanish title translates as "Fatal Attraction" 😁

    What’s her name again?


    This is typical of what the exciting closeups look like in a supercropped version. Half a face over here, half a head over there, and a load of background in the middle. (That’s supposed to be an intense fight, btw.)


    Loads of barrels! But still fewer than the Equalizer 2000


    For comparison, here’s a shot from the trailer for the restored version

  26. Legit free streamer #Mometu has something that might appeal to fans of #ActionMovies & #MondayActionMovie : not just a page of action movies but sections dedicated to #DannyTrejo AND #EricRoberts !

    watch.mometu.com/?section=acti

    I saw Maximum Impact, far from great but it had *both* Danny & Eric... & #MarkDacascos & a bunch more, too... in PERSON! Like actually on the set, not phoning it in via Zoom (well, except for Billy Baldwin)

  28. [Full Movies] TIL Wikipedia doesn't have a page for Matthias Hues...

    I watched the Rashist action trash Maximum Impact (2 out 5 stars, and that’s me being generous) on Mometu last night. Hues plays Mark Dacascos’s henchman & comic sidekick, the two of them providing among the few enjoyable moments in what is otherwise a bit of a slog.

    I looked up Maximum Impact on Wikipedia now and see Hues’s name isn’t wiki-linked. A search for “Matthias Hues” gives so many pages with him; but a page about him? Nein. Nope. Nada.


    There’s even a Commons Wikimedia pic of him. But no page.

    IMDb shows 84 acting credits (plus some more as “Self”, producer etc), ranging from Dark Angel (a.k.a. I Come In Peace) to Big Top Pee-Wee 😆. Surely he’s notable enough!

    You’re probably thinking “It’s Wikipedia. You can just make a page yourself, klu9!”

    Well, I gave up years ago contributing anything to Wikipedia other than the most minor of grammar/spelling corrections. I don’t feel like having everything I do automatically undone by some bot & then spend the next month in a war over notability & citations. But perhaps Wikipedia has changed…

    Or if anyone here is an experienced Wikipedian, maybe they can remedy the situation.

    In the meantime, here are some links for free movies with Matthias Hues. [email protected] thinks he’s notable!

    • Just Watch (set to “US” & “Free”; adjust for your country)
    • Plex Has 5 films for free (at least, for me in Mexico)
    • Tubi Not all results have Matthias but these do: Black Belt, TC 2000, Bounty Tracker, Borrowed Time: Falling Apart, Ultimate Justice
    • Fawesome Seems the only result with Matthias is Cyber Vengeance (Hard Target in VR?)
    • Mometu gives no results for him, even tho that’s where I saw him in Maximum Impact

  29. [Full movie 1080p] 少林三十六房 (The 36th Chamber of Shaolin) (1977)

    The licensed Shaw Brothers channel on Youtube just uploaded the martial arts classic directed by Lau Kar-leung (credited in English by his name in Mandarin Liu Chia-liang) , starring Gordon Liu & Lo Lieh.

    • 1080p
    • High quality restoration
    • Spoken language: Mandarin
    • Subtitles: English, soft subs. Translation quality: from my brief check, not fantastic but better than many HK kung fu films of the period.
    • I believe the SB channel removes uploads after a period of time, so watch it while you can!

    Movie Info

    The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1977) (少林三十六房), directed by Liu Chia-liang (劉家良), is a legendary martial arts film that follows the journey of Liu Yu-te (Gordon Liu Chia-hui), a young man driven by the need to avenge the death of his family at the hands of the Manchu oppressors. Liu, a former student of the anti-Qing patriot Ho Kuang-han, is forced to flee after his teacher and many students are killed in an attack orchestrated by the Ching authorities. Seeking vengeance and strength, Liu travels to the Shaolin Temple where he begins his arduous training in the famed 35 chambers.

    The 36th Chamber of Shaolin received critical acclaim and is widely considered to be one of the greatest kung fu films ever made and a highly influential entry in the genre.

  32. Re next #KungFuSat , I just came across Kung Fu Yoga on Mercado Play (free streamer for Latin America).

    Pros: Free, in Mandarin (I hear Jackie Chan doing the opening narration in his own voice)

    Cons: the web player has been enshittified and there are no more language options... so Mandarin with *no* subs to turn on (not even Spanish) 🤷‍♀️
