Review Round-Ups

This is the place where you'll find various in-depth looks at a particular genre, star, or random assemblage of movies that I decided to look at all in one go. In reverse order:

 


The Muscles From Brussels times 2! Yes, as terrifying a prospect as that sounds we have reviewed a bunch of films with more than one Van Damme! Not so much 'extra free' as double the agony...


A feature on the background and career of the greatest kung fu director of them all, as well as asides on his most frequent collaborators and links to reviews of his best work. In your best dubbed kung fu voice, cry "Your... mantis fist is... weak! My monkey... style is... stronger!"


Old-school kung fu makes a welcome return to Steamed Prawn Buns, as I examine a group of films featuring the distinctive Drunken Fist style. Pass me the wine jar, I need to practice my stance...


Everything's gone a bit Barbarian in Steamed Prawn Buns' biggest special feature yet. Beggar revisits his formative years to tell tales of adventure in ancient lands, where Men were Men and Women were Naked. Enough of words, let us fight!


All SPB's Cynthia Rothrock reviews so far, together in one place. Rednecks, mobsters and time-travelling serial killers all fall before Cynthia's fists of fury! The perfect marriage of cleavage and karate!


In the first feature of 2004, we take a look at some delicious dishes from India in a new special menu, Kickin' Tikka Masala! Don't forget to tip your waiter...


The hottest, baddest chick from the 70's is here to funk you up! Have no fear, Pam Grier is here - at Steamed Prawn Buns!


Steamed Prawn Buns pays tribute to two Greats of Bad Cinema, Golan & Globus, and their lamented studio Cannon Films. Chuck Norris, Van Damme and, um, Michael Dudikoff come along for the ride...
