Episode 12: Fatal Termination (1990) and Melancholic (2020)

09/18/23 • 68 min

In this episode we discuss our recent purchase from Error 4444 - 1990's Fatal Termination starring the legendary Moon Lee alongside Ray Lui and Leon's idol, Simon Yam (The Macho Yam). We talk about the film including the crazy, infamous, child dangling from a moving car stunt! We delve into Moon Lee's filmography and discuss director Andrew Kam. Then we go Beyond Hong Kong to Japan and look at Third Window Film's release of 2020 film Melancholic written and directed by Seiji Tanaka. We were both blown away by this relatively unknown indie film about a bath house used after hours for some not so squeaky clean Yakuza activities!
