Monster of the Day #3489

Thanks to everyone who joined us Friday for Fearless Fighters, a film I first saw with my friend Jeff at B-Fest over 30 years ago. It was my first really goofy kung fu movie and have retained a warm place in my heart. Everyone enjoyed it, I think, and I can recommend it to…

I mean, if you have to be kicked by somebody.... Nice integration of the Universal Dracula instead of the Hammer one. Happy Wednesday, folks. And a Wednesday before a three day (four day for me) weekend. Wheeee!
