Donnie Yen

Zwar erwähnten wir ihn bereits im Zusammenhang mit den Filmen anderer Stars, doch selbstredend hat Donnie Yen eine Folge verdient, die ganz ihm und seiner Kick-Herrlichkeit gewidmet ist. Er selbst würde das sicher auch so sehen. Und so sprechen wir in dieser Episode über zwei der markantesten und Starvehikel des Kampfsport-Asses, nicht über die "Ip Man"-Filme, sondern über seine Comebackfilme "SPL - Kill Zone" und "Flash Point" von "Ip Man"-Regisseur Wilson Yip. Warum die vielleicht mehr Beachtung verdienen und welchen Stellenwert sie für das Hongkong-Actionkino besitzen, erfahrt ihr, wenn ihr reinhört. Viel Spaß!

Kenji Tanigaki (谷垣健治) is a Japanese action designer whose work includes Sha Po Lang, Flashpoint, the Rurouni Kenshin series, and Sakra. He talks about Japanese stunt history, the difference between Japanese and Hong Kong action, how he got his start in Hong Kong working with Donnie Yen, the difficulties of working in Japan on action films, and how his action design process has changed over time.

This week we get in the time machine and go back to 1996, when Don't Speak ruled the charts and Red Bull was introduced to the masses, to look at Wes Craven's Scream. This movie is often credited for giving the horror genre a much needed jolt in the 90's but how does it hold up today especially after another genre revitalization? We have Popcorn Talk's own Kari Lane to find that out. Plus we talk the latest trailers like Eternals and Reminiscence, the latest news such as Donnie Yen being cast in John Wick 4, and more right here on Notorious by Chance. 2:41 - Trailer Talk 20:11 - NOTORIOUS News 53:21 - Scream Review (with Kari Lane)

Mulan 2020 Hua Mulan or Fa Mulan joins Chinese Army and Donnie Yen to fight for Emperor Jet Li in fending off Jason Scott Lee and the Rourans.
