Grindhouse
The Dragon, the Hero
A totally bonkers Taiwanese Bruceploitation-adjacent epic directed by the legendary Godfrey Ho! Martial arts star and Northern Kick expert John Liu puts his feet to the test while investigating an antique smuggling gang. But when his path crosses with a former friend, it could have dangerous consequences. Plus, Dragon Lee, a stolen soundtrack score, a brief bit with Bolo Yeung, and an evil villain with a backstory so insane you’ll be thinking about it for the rest of your life.

The New South Hand Blows and North Kick Blows
A master of Northern Kick kung fu seeks vengeance against a Southern Fist expert over the death of his brother. But is there actually a supervillain secretly playing them against each other?
