So we ended Sunday watching The Assassination Bureau, a movie I remember watching with my Mom when I was a kid. It’s got a real (Emma Peel) Avengers vibe–certainly helped by the fact that Diana Rigg is the female lead–but with more dark humor. It’s set just before World War I and stars Oliver Reed at his suavest and Telly Savalas, and it’s basically the (John Steed) Avengers meets Those Daring Young Men and Their Flying Machines. It’s currently on Amazon Prime and I heartily endorse giving it a watch.
Monday we started with another Chinese wacky movie I recently bought called Demon’s Baby. Honestly, I don’t remember much about this, but that it’s a period piece with (of course) martial arts and black magic. I’ll have to give this another look some day.
