Thankfully this was better than A Working Man as that was almost considered the worst film we reviewed of 2025 🙃

In this early holiday episode, we give you the movie no one asked for but the movie you'll wish you watched sooner. Just don't be looking this title up on Google Images.

Our latest @FistsofFail video asks the question: Is Kill Bill cultural appropriation? We talk Tarantino getting in on the Asian bandwagon and how the XXX parody is a better watch than the Volume 2 🙃 Would love to hear other Asian people's thoughts on it!

Didn't we already do a @predator movie?

@Predator Badlands (2025) has one of the most unique fights scenes this year! But also one of the worst. The series tried something different and the box office results favor this odd coupling of an angry monster and quirky android.

@FistsofFail Do the Bruceploitation movies copy his dog fight scenes too?

Finally turned our @FistsofFail podcast of Bruce Lee's The Big Boss into a video !

Watch us talk about the most CARTOONY fight scene he's ever made and how you can start to see him forming his onscreen Jeet Kune Do stylings, fingers in the ribs and all !

Donnie Does Drama! Here's our discussion for his latest film, The Prosecutor @wellgousa

Is the man showing his age or is he an immortal servant for justice? We talk the compelling court room drama that also features fight scenes.

Do you hate GLASS? The late Benny Chan has a solution by having Shawn Yue break ALL OF IT in the film, Invisible Target (2007) Kind of amazing how simple choreography can get so elevated by environmental interaction and damage! @FistsofFail review here:

@fuforthoughtpod Our review was divided as I feel some people will not get into this film. I thoroughly enjoyed it though. Loved the disembodied camera movement, surreal stage play feel, and symbolic representation for things. Finding out the meaning for the color blue was oddly satisfying for me

[OnlyNiceThings @_OnlyNiceThings]

The Shadows Stray (2024) crams in so much action its bursting from its gimp mask! @Timobros creates another dark underwork to get lost in as our female leads grip tightly onto their humanity and whatever weapons they can find.

Does Hi-yah! have any good martial arts horror films? Well in this @FistsofFail episode we did a search and decided to lump some of these stinkers into our Halloween Bargain Bin talk. Part 2!

3 forgettable Chinese films and one decent Korean zombie film.

If you're looking for some action horror material to put on for spooky season I highly recommend Encounter of the Spooky Kind 2 (1989)

Unpopular opinion but I prefer this over the original 🥸

[OnlyNiceThings @_OnlyNiceThings]

The cockroach filled zombie struggle will absolutely make your SKIN CRAWL from Encounters of the Spooky Kind 2!! Here's the @FistsofFail #podcast review of the film that covers Sammo from head to toe in bugs 🤢 Watch the film to see gruesome outcome 😱

We did a "KICK" themed @FistsofFail episode without touching anything boxer. Do you want to see a shot on VHS, aerobics tie in, rape revenge story? Then check out High Kicks (1993) for muscle bound men weapons fighting in the park.
