Episode 167 - Rothrocking

During this global downtime, we wanted to harken back to a simpler period, when all we needed was a little kicking and punching to make us feel better. One of the biggest female martial artists back in the day was Cynthia Rothrock, and we look at two of her films for this show. Mike is struggling with scheduling during the pandemic, so we brought Eli back for a repeat engagement to help us come to grips with the movies. We start off with 1993's Undefeatable, from legendary director Godfrey Ho. It has Cynthia seeking revenge on a psycho who has killed a number of people, including her sister. It is, largely, a mess, but fun and delivers the necessary goods. We follow that up with 1991's Tiger Claws, which is a real cornucopia of treats! With the monster Bolo Yeung as the villain, it is packed with some great moments, clever film making, and works on almost every level.Send us your thoughts on the show and recommendations for future episodes to [email protected] or [email protected].
