Bastard Swordsman 'n' stuff

I've been writing some reviews of a couple Shaw Brothers flicks for HKCinemagic.

Now that IVL has stopped distributing Shaw films, FUNimation offers several good (and a bunch of so-so) flicks. A lot of Westerners don't have a copy of Bastard Swordsman, which is pretty tragic. It's now available through FUNimation, so if you like old school wuxia craziness and haven't been able to see this movie, you might want to pick it up.

Read the review if you haven't seen the King of the Wuxia Movies

You can read more old school HK film madness on achillesgirl in actionland and on Heroic Sisterhood, where the ladies and I hang out and shoot the stuff about Asian Action Cinema.

Talk to y'all later!
