Five More Things to Love About Hong Kong Godfather

I am so happy that I have a lot of cool virtual friends who like Hong Kong movies too.  They make me laugh and they inspire me.  Gratitude.  This week's highlights:  


Ninjasquid made some fantastic Yueh Wah gifs in a hilarious blog.  I wish I could carry them in my pocket.  Then I could just bust this out if anybody irritated me. 


Mister Chopsticks on Fire inspired me a long time ago to write about the fusion mess Shatter.  His recent post 5 Things to Love About Hong Kong Godfather is so awesome that I got inspired again.  I am shamelessly yoinking his idea. Sorry Chopsticks, but I love the movie and cannot resist adding five more things about it.  Before you read mine, you gotta read his.  It's hilarious and completely true.  


I recently re-enjoyed Hong Kong Godfather with Ninjasquid, Charlie Parker, and a couple gallons of partyin' alcohol.  Don't worry, it's totally safe to drink and operate Skype.  During that adorable event, I got stuck on a couple things that I really love about  the movie (in addition to Mr. Chopstick's Top Five, of course). 

1.  The wtf  "sex" scene that introduces 80's-fabulous Playboy Lung (Norman Tsui Siu Keung).  We see close ups of him sweating while moving up and down and a topless chick moaning.  Turns out he's doing push-ups next to the bed while she plays a video game.  For Christ's sake Johnny, don't. Stop. Don't, stop. Don't stop.  Yes, it's that 8-year-old stupid kind of not-funny.

TOTALLY DUM.

2.  The Godfather wears tube socks.  

Hong Kong fashion DUM.

3. The adorable kid, the little apple of the Hong Kong Godfather's eye, is mercilessly killed.  I love the unapologetic stuff.  

First this guy breaks the kid's back over his knee

Then he throws him straight through the patio door.

The mini-tragedy is completed with
a close up of the bloody child corpse.Yeah!
Totally NOT DUM. 

4.  This cruddy sign.  Just look at it!

SERIOUSLY DUM.

5.  And finally, the shamelessly gratuitous, oft-screencapped image of Beardy rising from the ashes:

The Famous Hercules Pose

I'm all about HK action beefcake but this sudden, inappropriate, DUM chok yeung pose just makes me laugh. Hahahahahahaa!  See me laughing?  


There many other awesome things to love about Hong Kong Godfather. I hope somebody else adds five more (the saw, the saw!).  5 Things to Love About Hong Kong Godfather is the first in the "5 Things To Love" film series by Chopsticks On Fire, I can hardly wait for the next post!  Subscribe so you don't miss any of the goodness.  


Hasta luego, amigos!
