The Kenblog: Classic Movie Scene #3 – Jackie Chan’s Final Fight In Drunken Master II!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with my next classic movie scene. This edition features one of the greatest final battles in Kung Fu Cinema history. Jackie’s Chan’s final battle in “Drunken Master II” from 1994 is one of the most amazing pieces of fight choreography ever put to film. Chan portrays legendary Chinese folk hero Wong Fei-Hung, a legendary fighter and patriot who fought against Japanese occupation during the turn of the last century. Chan’s Fei-Hung is a more comedic interpretation, with the hero getting his fighting prowess from the consumption of alcohol. When he discovers a plot to steal and smuggle China’s priceless artifacts, Fei-Hung tries to stop them. This leads to the incredible foundry fight you’re about to see here! Enjoy and hopefully this gets to to watch the entire amazing film! So Sayeth The Kendog!

Radio Daze: Sydney Greenstreet as Nero Wolfe for your Old Radio listening pleasure!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of Radio Daze! This edition features two episodes of a short-lived but well-regarded detective series based on the adventures of Nero Wolfe, a detective created by author Rex Stout. Played by excellent character actor Sydney Greenstreet, Nero Wolf ran from late 1950 to early 1951, just one season. But it was a well-made series with sharp scripts and terrrific performances by Greenstreet and the bevy of actors who played Wolfe’s assistant and proxy Archie Goodwin. Their byplay is one of the most entertaining elements in the show! Enjoy the mysteries, the banter, and the old time fun of Nero Wolfe!

Featuring fine performances from the entire cast, with Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid being the standouts, “Companion” is one of those films that will grow in status over time!
