The Last Kumite: Recapturing the 80s spirit (?) After what was about a full year of anticipation, I finally watched The Last Kumite and was, unfortunately, very disappointed (I won't sugar-coat things). The film did not meet my expectations, and I found it quite underwhelming. The story failed to engage me, and the performances were lacklustre at best which was very disappointing to see, with the exception of Kurt McKinney who was a standout among the whole cast. Throughout the movie, I found myself increasingly bored, which is, in my opinion, one of the worst things a film can do to audiences, bore them. Classics like Bloodsport, Kickboxer and Lionheart never once bored me, but The Last Kumite failed to hold my attention time and time again. - Moreover, the music and the use of Stan Bush songs were disappointing. The Stan Bush songs were barely featured in the film, despite being advertised as the main theme songs of the film. This discrepancy was frustrating and added to my overall dissatisfaction. The opening sequence was particularly off-putting, marred by the overuse of stock footage, which I found annoying and unoriginal. - The film's cheap look also fails to live up to the standards of 80s action films. Yes I know this was crowdfunded however it still had a budget larger than other independent films and they looked much better and way more polished and cinematic, even student projects that I have seen have had better cinematography so this in my opinion was inexcusable. The 80s and 90s classics, despite their sometimes modest budgets, had a certain charm and polish that The Last Kumite lacks. The production values in this film appeared low, with subpar set designs and unimpressive cinematography that did not capture the dynamic and gritty atmosphere that made 80s action films so memorable. This lack of visual quality further detracted from my overall experience. - Despite my disappointment, I acknowledge that the film has found its audience and fans, which has brought success to its creators. I wish them well in their future filmmaking endeavours, as I know they are working on more projects. However, for me, this first effort fell short of expectations and left much to be desired.

When I was 13, I came out to my parents as a morbius male. They couldn't accept my morbality, so they sent me off to camp. They just didn't understand— I was morbed that way. At the camp, they gave us electromorb therapy to morb us into beta male and females. I resisted the treatment, being a morbius male, you cant morb me out of being morbed. I fooled the counsellors into thinking they had successfully morbed be into a beta male, and I returned home. To this day, I live a double life— one for my parents, who still cannot accept morbality, and one where its always morbin time. This is my tale, Who am I you may ask? I am vengeance, I am the night, I am.... Dr. Michael Morbius.

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is still one of the funniest movies ever and here are some reasons why I believe you should watch it. -It's elevated childish humor mixed with the storyline that pokes fun at clichés in the martial arts movie genre (most notably with the chosen one) is always really good. This film is crazy stupid fun and I thank Steve Oedekerk for that. -The technical behind the scenes aspects are amazing too with how director Steve Oedekerk (who also plays 'the chosen one') integrates himself and a certain of other actors into an old Kung Fu movie along with doing new dialogue and voicing all the characters to absolutely hilarious effect. -This movie is basically what would happen if Monty Python made a Martial arts movie and the Monty Python inspiration is very evident at times. Lastly Kung Pow: Enter the Fist is a must watch and I will always reccomend it for its amazing humor and epic story.

The film that shatters all forms of amazingness this film made Steven Spielberg pee his pants of amazement and he immidiately built a time machine and traveled back to make e.t based on this epic film. feutruing the most perfect scene in all cinematic history...a dance scene in mcdonalds it's a gift from the heavens opening up to save our souls with this masterpiece of a movie......just kidding its shittttttttttttttttttttttttttt
