MisterVimes Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? The "Mr. Wong" series of mysteries with Boris Karloff. Interesting bit of trivia, the final installment (1940) did not star Karloff (he had fulfilled his 6 picture deal with another film) and Mr. Wong was played by Keye Luke. Luke was the first Asian actor to get a top billing in Hollywood and the first Asian actor to star in a Hollywood film (prior Asian lead characters had been played by whites in makeup).

CES More than likely. He was great as Lee/Number 1 Son and I was simply surprised that he got top billing and a starring role in 1940. I love that guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susano Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Ten Tigers Of Kwangtung A late-era Shaw Brothers epic, starring just about everyone in the Shaw Brothers stable. It's... uhm... confusing, mainly due to a series of flashbacks to explain the plot, way too many characters to fully keep track of in 90 minutes, and one of the most WTF endings I've ever seen in a martial arts film. Still, the fights are entertaining, and the basic plot concepts could be used to kick off someone's martial arts campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaplayboy Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 Re: What Have You Watched Recently? Melancholia--possibly the most depressing film I've seen in the past decade.
