On a RETURNING Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out, Doug and Liam dive into Na Hong-jin’s relentless (and bloody!) 2010 South Korean action-thriller The Yellow Sea! Starring Ha Jung-woo and Kim Yoon-seok, the film follows a desperate taxi driver who agrees to perform a hit in South Korea to pay off his mounting debts, and if you think everything goes smoothly.. you would be wrong!  We get into spoilers at the end, but we give you a heads up first. We also chat about some films we’ve watched recently, just for goofs and grins.
The post Episode 342 – Cinema Smorgasbord Sells Out – The Yellow Sea (2010) first appeared on Cinema Smorgasbord.

In this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we follow Asian Hawk — a fortune-hunting ex-pop star turned treasure seeker — who is forced into a globe-trotting mission to rescue a former bandmate's kidnapped girlfriend in the 1986 Indiana Jones-esque action classic ARMOR OF GOD! Jackie fights, falls and (notably) cracks his skull open trying to attain the titular armor while fighting off cult members and amazons. We go over the history, the fallout, and the different edits of the film while also discussing the latest Jackie Chan news. ENJOY!

On this intriguing episode of WILD IN THE STREETS Claudio Cassinelli gets out of jail after five years and wants revenge on his former mob boss (played by Martin Balsam) who he thinks set him up in Fernando Di Leo’s Caliber 9-esque 1977 eurocrime film BLOOD AND DIAMONDS! There isn’t much action, but there IS Barbara Bouchet, a crazed, violent maniac and gratuitous crucifixions! What’s not to enjoy? Check it out!
