COWBOYS & ALIENS & A TAE KWON DO BAND

Harrison Ford had initially tried to get in on this project, but contract negotiations fell apart so he had to settle for a watered down re-boot of this movie years later.


Friends 4-ever!

"MIAMI CONNECTION" 25TH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING IN CHICAGO!

Chicagoans! We have joined forces with Drafthouse Films to present two midnight screenings of lost '80s thunder-rager Miami Connection at the Music Box Theater in Chicago on Sept 28th and 29th. This past August, we hosted a raucous screening of this ultimate achievement in Taekwondo anti-sanity at our third annual Everything is Festival, which reduced the walls of LA's The Cinefamily to rubble! Join in for what will very likely be one of the greatest/unforgettable nights of your life and witness what even Entertainment Weekly calls their "new cult movie obsession." Facebook event page for these screenings can be found here.

3 MINUTE UNDEFEATABLE










Fifty films, throngs of fans both here and throughout Asia, five Karate Illustrated Female World Champion titles, six black belts in different disciplines, a trail of asses kicked (if laid end-to-end) that would easily stretch ‘round the Equator — and she’s just getting warmed up! First capturing the American imagination in China O’Brien, the impossibly cool Cynthia Rothrock is one of the screen’s greatest solo mutilation squads, and we adore her to no end. Can you believe that Cynthia will join us on the Cinefamily stage, for a career-spanning Q&A that’ll make mincemeat out of the likes of your unworthy tuchus? From her beginnings as an aspiring teenage kung fu competitor to achieving the highest professional heights a disciple of the martial arts can achieve, to movie stardom first in Hong Kong followed by filmic fame on her home turf, Cynthia is peerless, powerful and a national treasure.  We couldn't think of a better way to celebrate than by showing off her best work and naming this week officially Cynthia Rothrock Week!'

A CHIMP SAVES A PUPPY; A CHILD DEITY TOYS WITH OTHERS' LIVES


***Watch version using "Fondren & Main" by Z-Ro ft. DJ Screw (RIP) here


This kid is the worst.


And! I just re-edited this movie for a song by Boozwa.
Starring a one-armed kung fu master (who also wrote and directed the movie) and an old blind man who wields my favorite martial arts weapon of all time, the flying guillotine.

If you happen to live in Austin, TX, Boozwa will be perfoming sample-heavy music next on Wednesday, May 18 at Plush ATX with DIBIASE and some other DJ/dub/electronic folks.

YOU KIDS AND YOUR BLOODSPORT...

"Sean Lee is a timid feeble boy who is constantly made fun of by his schoolmates. His mother refuses to let him practice Taekwondo because his father was killed in the ring. After being threatened by gangsters, his mother finally consents to his studying martial arts. Sean enters a full-contact contest and finds he must face the renowned kickboxer Pichai known as The Madman, who killed Sean's father in the ring years ago. In a climactic showdown, Sean must prove his technique is better than Pichai's and avenge his father's death."

Best. Movie. Ever.

CHINA TEACHES A LESSON

I was planning on doing a re-edit of this entire movie, but either my tape or VCR fucked up... so hopefully there'll be more to come from China O'Brien, played, of course, by The Ultimate Weapon, Cynthia Rothrock.
