Bride of Re-Animator (1990) dir. by Brian Yuzna
What happens when you take the greatest choreographer the world has ever seen and put him with the second greatest choreographer the world has ever seen? And then you give them sticks.
You get this fight scene.
I can narrow down a number of favourite weapon fights when it comes to kung fu cinema and this would definitely be in my top five. Maybe even top three. And best of all? It’s not even an old school fight. It’s a fast, modern fight that just so happens to be with old school poles. Lau Kar Leung was 55 years old in this scene. That’s only 9 years younger than Jackie Chan is now. He never got enough credit for doing bananas shit while being an old man. Unbelievable fight. And the crazy thing is that there’s a good two minutes of empty handed fighting before this bit.
Anyone wondering what film it is, it’s Pedicab Driver. Do yourself a favour and pick up the DVD here. It’s the only remastered version of this film out there and while it has terrible subtitles, if more people buy it, Warner might actually dig in their vaults and release the other classics they have stored away.

“This is all I do.”
“I’m not lying to you here.”
“This wasn’t part of my plan.”
“What’s wrong with you… hey?“
“We needed you. I needed you.”
“I’m back, did anyone miss me?“
“They should be running from me.”
“I don’t know what you expect here.”
“I’ll call you when I need you, again.”
“I don’t… I don’t know if I can do this.”
“I mean, what do you expect from me?“
“Joy, when was the last time we had it?“
“You told me you would be there for me.”
“Well, you need to get some new friends.”
“I am competitive… always been that way.”
“You got me thinking things I never used to.”
“I let you see what it’s like to be in my head.”
“Yeah, I know it sounds funny, but it’s real life.”
“I guess I was scared to see how you reacted.”
“When I leave the stage, they never forget me.”
“I wish you didn’t say things that you don’t mean.”
“Who am I kidding? You probably ain’t hearing this.”
“Apologies don’t mean a thing if you don’t ever fix it.”
“Why do I feel like I lost something that I never had?“
“I just wanna know if you feel what I’m feeling, baby.”
“Don’t tell me you fine, ‘cause I know that you’re not.”
“I have been at this for years, this didn’t fall on my lap.”
“Pictures don’t change, just the people inside of them do.”
“Some people say nobody’s perfect but expect perfection.”
“Why would you leave us? Why would you leave us here?“
“But, I was immature, I guess I had to learn some lessons.”
“Didn’t wanna leave, but this dream’s calling, I had to do it.”
“And hurting you was not a part of my plan or my intentions.”
“You say you’re proud of me, but you don’t know me that well.”
“I got no interest in talking to people that I know are two-faced.”
“I promise if that is the case, then that is what you’re gonna get.”
“You should have been there for us… you should have been here.“
“You won’t be there, you know? You won’t be there for any of that.“
“I do not know who your dentist is, but he should clean out your mouth.”
“Whoever told you that life would be easy, I promise that person was lying to you.”
“I guess that your definition of violence and mine is something that we look at differently.”
“And, if you want somebody to tell you everything that you want to hear, I won’t be any help.”
