Dirty Ho
Punches and Popcorn
07/28/22 • 85 min
We know, we know. The title. Beyond that, you get a cracking martial arts comedy with Lau Kar Leung, Gordon Liu, and Lo Lieh at the top of their games. This film launched an offshoot of lighthearted but still action packed kung fu movies. Another classic from the iconic Shaw Brothers studio.
We take a deep dive into it, and Dom kicks some science right off the top of the dome. It's impressive stuff.
