Scary Market – 嘿店

Tars Tarkas — Sat, 15 Oct 2011 09:41:16 +0000

Scary Market – 嘿店 – is an upcoming (October 21st) mainland horror-comedy starring Athena Chu Yun as a zombie killer. The film co-stars Cheung Tat-Ming, Li Fei-er, Yu Ting-Ting, and Liao Jian. I’ve added a bunch of huge stills from Sina, because we need more posts packed with tons of giant images. TarsTarkas.NET demands it. Our fans demand it. That Moon Guy from the old McDonald’s commercials demands it. Everyone demands it. So who am I to disappoint everyone?

I totally demanded this!

Thai Pulp covers – Insee Daeng and more

Here are a bunch of Thai pulp covers from various sources collected while looking for Insee Daeng information. Not sure if it they were comics or books or a mix of both. Some of them, especially the last two, are written stories. There is also a bonus Captain America cover, because, why the hell not? You can see elements from some of these stories that made it into Insee Thong.

Dark Heroine Muk Lan-fa Pulp Covers

Tars Tarkas — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 04:18:42 +0000

Here are some images of Dark Heroine Muk Lan-fa pulp novel covers I ganked from this Yahoo Blog. I thought I’d bring it to an English-speaking audience, the small core of us who are interested in films and books like this. besides the three original Dark Heroine Muk Lan-fa films (good overview on Lucha Diaries), there was also a long series of pulp novels, the exact number I am not certain of. The novels look to be reprinted at some point with less spectacular covers, and you can order them on your Chinese eReaders if you read Chinese and want to Google that info yourself. The rest of us will have to just look at these cool bookcovers. Besides the film series and books, there was also a tv series in the late 80s or early 90s, IIRC. The Dark Heroine Muk Laf-fa also inspired The Heroic Trio films.

For more Muk Lan-fa fun, here is a photobook from The Dark Heroine Shattered the Black Dragon Gang, the second film in the series, that Todd posted on FourDK.

Enjoy the novel covers! My favorite one is the clown shooting a clown out of a cannon.

Beach Spike

Tars Tarkas — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:44:25 +0000

Beach Spike has been announced as the next film from Bey Logan’s production company B&E Productions. What is Beach Spike? It is a beach volleyball themed action comedy! Someone figured out what DOA was supposed to be! Here is the press release:

B&E’s next live-action project has the working title ‘Beach Spike!’, and combines ‘Shaolin Soccer’-style sports action with kung fu fighting, as bikini-wearing Asian babes compete in beach volleyball. This summer action comedy stars current Hong Kong ‘it’ girl Chrissie Chau with ‘Blood Bond’ lead Phoenix Chou cast as her rival.

B&E Productions is also finishing up post production on The Blood Bond, and has also announced:
a reversed ‘Rush Hour’ script, ‘Harlem Goes East’, about a black American cop on an adventure in China; ‘Lady Transporter’(working title), a starring vehicle for Phoenix Chou, with the actress playing a female armed escort working the Russian/Mongolian border; ‘Choy Li Fut’, a period actioner about the founder of this southern Chinese kung fu style, to be co-produced with and co-starring Gordon Liu (’36th Chamber of Shaolin’, ‘Kill Bill’).

I’ll just fill the rest of this post with pictures of Chrissie Chau dressed up for cosplay promoting the online game Dragon Online that I ganked from the Rusty Pork blog run by the HKMDB guy…
