 KUNG FU MOVIE REVIEW: DEADFUL MELODY (1994)


LUK YI KAM MOH (translated as either Six-Fingered Strings Demon or The Evil Six-Fingered Lyre, but either is cooler sounding that Deadful Melody), is a decent flick. I just discovered that I dubbed it like, two years ago and never watched it. Silly bootleggy me. Anyway, what makes this a good movie? Well, it has characters with names like "Fire", "Master Ghost", Hard-Hearted Witch", "Master Six-Fingers" and the nefarious "Stink Bean Cube" and that's OK in my book. It also features a beheading and an arm removal in the first ten minutes of the film, with full-body explosions aplenty later on. The dialogue could use a little polishing (or at least the translation), as illustrated in the following script excerpts:

"Cut the crap, let's go."
"Cut the crap, just look at me."
"Cut the crap, it's nonsense of just talking."
"Cut the crap, take the lyre and leave."
"Cut the crap, let's finish the tea and leave."

and of course

"Old man, cut the crap."

 READER'S COMMENTS:

 

I'm gonna have to check this out. Despite the fact that she has a tendancy towards playing transexuals or men pretending to be women I think Bridgitt Lin is way hot. A chick has to be really sexy for me to able to look past the fact that she is in fact a man named "Asia The Invinicible" and say "I'd do her."
