Karate Kid Legends. Are they going to do one more Rush Hour?

5:57 That's what they keep pushing. Even if they did it wouldn't be the same because people are too sensitive now. You can't you can't like yeah, the like you can't get away with the Like the early Rush Hours. That might be what we need though to correct things, you know what I mean? Like if they just said ████ made it that might correct the climate. Yeah. Like what kind of jokes are you Yeah. What's up? What what can we not say nowadays? What do you guys think?

And also hearing Don

6:47 Cheadle speak Cantonese was kind of sick. Kung fu Kenny, bro. Kung fu Kenny. Well, people totally don't get that that's what caused the merging of like the culture. Like it's so good. Freddy Ching, that's his brother. Yeah. 7-Eleven. That's right. Kwai Shao. Kwai Shao Freddy Ching, yeah, dude. Dude, they're brothers. They're brothers. That's original Kung Fu Kenny.

Yeah, like till today that's our lingo. Yet tiger? The yet tigers want to go to the That's such a that's such a sick thing. You guys are really Jackie Chan fans. I love you guys. It's it's like cuz you're a kid you watch it like seeps into your subconscious. Yeah,

7:37 yeah. That's why you know heaven on earth seeps into your subconscious. That's exactly what you think. As a kid it's like whoa. Bill Tung. You don't like Bill Tung? Who's Bill Tung? Not the guy who plays his uncle. From Rumble. The guy who's his uncle or the general of whatever army he's in. You know the guy who always plays Jackie Chan's uncle. What's that guy's name? Or the inspector? Yeah, inspector, yeah. That He's always his dude, yeah. He just has the glasses. Yeah, always. That's dope. What's next on the list? Jumanji. Jumanji. I watched that recently. The first one? The first first is 30 years First one holds up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Rest in peace. How old is Jurassic Park? Damn, that's probably like 60. 80 years old I think. I think it's around 40. It's uh No, no, 30, right? 32 years old now.

8:27 not that bad. I remember it came out when I was like still a kid like three, four years old or something. Bad Boys. I tried watching the most recent one. I It sucks. I couldn't get through like 10 minutes of it. The best thing about it is is that kid that used to be the wimp and now he's cool. Yeah, I I I couldn't even get through the first 10 minutes. Oh, the one that's at the door? Yep. Yeah, that kid the kid who's trying to date his daughter, yeah. I feel like with those films it's like just just milking the title with sequels now. Yeah, cuz like the original one is so funny but now like like you can't even be funny now. Maybe maybe we're sensing we're sensing that the actors aren't loving that they're doing it. That's that's also their one last money grab, Yeah, it's like ████ it like That's also the climate of film, too. It's like not as many originals. It's it's it's like going out milking milking off sequels.

9:17 Cuz there's a promise in return, right? mainly because studios don't want the risk? Dude, I'm still trying to understand the I think it's more cuz studios want the money. But but then how do they make money from a bombing? But they say always say international, right? So, that's why they always like double down on the the franchises like That's why they stick a Chinese guy in the version that goes overseas. Or the Meg. Or you end up on streaming like the sea of streaming where you You know which sequels are crushing though they're actually good? Are any of the ████ like Godzilla King Kong ones? Bro, Godzilla Yeah, I watched the one where They're actually really good. Yeah. No way, I haven't seen that. I'm like this story line's actually really good. What the ████ I can't I can't Which one is the one where a whole there's a whole village of like giants that lives like Yeah yeah yeah yeah. That one. That was fun. It gets deeper and deeper and you're like That's in the center of the earth, right? Yeah yeah. Don't spoil it. What's the story line in on Godzilla

10:08 that's really good? There's one Minus one. Did they win like Academy Awards? Minus one got awards and stuff like that, but that's I think that's not what he's talking about. He's talking about the cheesy one. Kong versus Godzilla and then ████ something the ████ predators. There's like a whole like What story lines do they use? They do a whole universe with it because even the TV show Monarchs on Apple TV Plus that just got finished or just started filming season 2 with Anna Sawai. That is like a prequel to the entire like Godzilla thing. Yeah, it's the whole universe. Okay. And that's like doing really well as a show. And then they continue because like the Godzilla and the King Kong franchise, they bring that together and then they they combine the story of and it's always the same ████ It's always like you're like, "Oh no, like King Kong's facing an enemy that he can't he can't beat alone and then like Godzilla comes into play or like vice versa. It's like, "Oh no, Godzilla is

10:58 sensing this type of like crazy arch nemesis that like defeated in his past, but King Kong suddenly comes through the portal to say you know, it's like constantly ████ just jumping into the King Kong goes through a portal in this? It gets crazy. Yeah, it's like He teleports now, dude. Cuz at first at first I I was like watching the movie with Taika. I'm like, "Oh, this is one of the stupid movies that he's going to love, right?" And then I like crying Yeah, it's like some stupid Okay, of course he'll love ████ monsters like bashing each other out. And then the story starts getting crazy and I'm like, "Wait a minute. What the f███?" It's actually good. And then you find out that like King Kong is like this hurt misunderstand person, but is a sworn protector of the earth. And then there's this uh this uh the bad King Kong has somehow figured out a way to summon the ultimate

11:48 Godzilla from the middle of the earth and then because he casts like some weird spell, this crazy Godzilla can like do whatever the ████ he wants to take over the earth. So now the earth is going to flip inside out. And then so somehow the real Godzilla gets a hold of it. So him and King Kong they don't really talk. Like they don't go ahead. We got a plan. Yeah, so they're not communicating in They're not, but they somehow know that they could feel through the vibes of the air that they got to protect the earth. Yeah, shut the hell up. This is for real. Yeah yeah yeah. What else? Mothra is going back to college? Mothra got a DUI. Mothra gets his GED. But it's crazy. Yeah. Mothra loses his virginity. And there's you find this whole this whole ████ race of King Kongs and ████ What? A whole race? Yeah, they have like there's a hierarchy and like

12:38 whole hierarchy of I start though? Yeah, where where do you I think if you just watch that one is Which one is that? Explain all this. I'll find it. I'll send it What's it called even? It's probably the first one. It's probably called Godzilla Godzilla and King Kong The sister traveling pants. Like you have to watch Godzilla first and then watch King Kong and then you have to go to I mean just watch that one. Each Godzilla wears a pair of pants and they have different memories through their life. Hey, do you do you guys use this to stay awake? No no no. That's just for fun. We just have Sometimes it I've never I've never used it. Well, if you want to get real hype, go for it. Put a little bit of water in it. Shake it. It smells like ████ Can I just smell it from here or is that going to ████ you I don't know if it's activated, but you can try it. But shake it up. Shake it up. And then don't don't get too close with it. And then just blurt out the first thing that comes to mind. If you really want it to activate, throw some water. Oh, ████

13:30 You went for a second time. Dude, it's going to make you go full gear now. I feel like I feel like you guys Isn't this in your guys' world? Don't you guys use But not that. I've never used that before. Really? When someone gets knocked out, don't they put that in your Wait, let me It's like it's like a Google It's like a dopamine kick. Yeah, you do that and then you sodium carbonate And you go back to sulfur. Then you hit your flips. do double flips. You do a double gainer. double gainer It's like instant Wasabi is kind of like Yes yes yeah. straight to the brain nasal wasabi So just to give clarity on it, you would watch in this particular monster verse or this arc if you will. Um First is Godzilla in 2014, then Kong: Skull Island 2017, then Godzilla: King of the Monsters 2019, then Godzilla versus Kong 2021. So these are all the same. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is the

14:20 one he's talking about. Godzilla x Kong? You saw that one. Watch them in that order though. Watch them in that order. Godzilla How many movies is that? Seven or something. Godzilla's Beyond Scared Straight. But I thought I was like, "What the hell is this?" This is the monster verse arc. I'm like, "What is this? King Kong ████ the Fast and Furious version?" Wow. But the sequels get better and better. pleased to learn this. Thank you. I can't say they're as amazing as Bart's saying, but the way he's saying it and the enthusiasm makes me want to rewatch them. Because I know how his brain is, I will love it. Yeah. Yeah yeah. I understand that. I understand that. It's not a ████ award-winning film, but when you think of like how You know how we try to stretch the topic? How deep can they go? They took ████ King Kong and Godzilla and they ████

15:10 stretched But it works though. biggest world I've ever seen. And I'm like, "What the And it's logical." I'm like, "That's crazy." That's the type of ████ I want to see. Yeah, I'm like, "What the hell?" Godzilla's Planet of the Apes. Yeah yeah yeah. Planet of the Apes goes ████ far. Caesar Godzilla at Fruitvale Station. Dude, the day that they turned Planet of the Apes and connected it to King Kong is Is it I was just like It's the end of the world. Yeah. They got to take the Jurassic World, King Kong, Godzilla, and Planet of the Apes and somehow You know Transformers is going to be in there next. Yeah, they're going to be in there. And and Fast and the Furious. Vin Diesel's somehow going to beat them all. Dude, did you guys did did any of you guys happen to see Transformers 1? I tried. Bro, it's really good. Is it? I fell off the first like 20

16:00 minutes. No, it's very good. It recons all of Transformers, but it it basically tells the story from the beginning and it makes Optimus Prime and Megatron friends. Yeah. in the beginning It's a new animated one. Yeah, it's an animated one, but it's it's like Transformers starts over completely. But it starts with the '80s Transformers designs. Oh, wow. Oh, that's cool. I like those designs. Totally new story, but very good. I was a fan of the Beast one. Beast Wars? The Transformers movie with the beasts the more recent one. What's it called? with the tigers Oh, I didn't see any of the new ones. I saw that on a plane. Oh, Rise of the Beasts. So it's like it's like the Beast Wars era type stuff, but like they they made a Transformers movie live action. And it's actually really good. cool. to love Beast Wars. Beast Wars were sick as hell. the cartoon Yeah. Hell yeah, that ████ was tight. Have you guys seen the the Lion King

16:50 version where it's like Scar Isn't it just Lion King, but like Is Mufasa Scar how Scar and Mufasa came to meet? Did that come out already? Yeah, it's out. Oh, you you saw that? I didn't see it. Is it good? It's like National Geographic. But I'm like they don't really do this with everything. But they they make it look like it. The only one I've seen is like the Lion King one where it was just the animated one, but in real life. And I was just like, "Dude, you might as well just watch Might as well watch Lion King. Yeah, but there's no Beyoncé. Beyoncé took me out. That's the thing though. Kids won't watch the original one the way we saw the original. That's true. Yeah. Cuz that was also like 30 years ago, right? Yeah, that was 30 years. I wish the Kung Pow guy made more films. Hey, for a while there was going to be a Kung Pow 2. Like I I said it up. I thought it was a a bit. You know, cuz at the end of the movie they show like unused footage, right?

17:40 Oh man, I wish it was a 2. That guy was really good. That's the one where he fights a cow, right? Yeah. But it was more than just the cow. is is the director, right? He's like the one And he's also the guy who directed Ace Ventura. Oh, he did? Oh my gosh. Really? That's why his humor is like the same. You guys know the best scene in Ace Ventura's when he's coming out of the the ████ of the rhino. They just left the camera there. He just did his own Like just ran the whole thing through. And the family comes and then That's the funniest ████ I've ever seen. Dude, it's ████ funny. You know that's the first movie I've ever watched in the theater? That movie? Yeah, I was dying. My stomach hurt so bad. I could have sworn I sweat through my shirt. Literally wanted to die. Dude, that's crazy you got to watch that in the theater. Suddenly this comes makes so much sense. first movie ever choking And it was And

18:31 it only happened cuz my parents my mom like would tape up the TV. I wasn't allowed to watch TV. And we never And like I never went to go to movies. And it was only because it was one of those like stay at home from school days. So she dropped me off at her friend's house. And then her friend took uh his her son and me to the movie theater. Dude, that changed everything for you, man. I was dying. I couldn't like I probably had convulsions and ████ For a kid to see that in the theater. Dude, the movie experience back then was uh That's how it was with Kung Pow. I couldn't breathe. I had to get my inhaler out and I hadn't had an attack in years. And I was like, "I think it's coming." Because like right when the ████ when he's talking and then the moth goes in his mouth, I was like Dude, I was like as I'm going to die, dude. What's that one roll the baby down the hill, bro, kills. It's like so cute.

19:22 Everything every bit in that is just like cut you What's that one movie where like um ████ different body parts just start exploding? Oh, you're talking about Ricky Oh? Yeah yeah yeah. Oh, the story of Ricky Oh. Yeah yeah yeah. You guys have seen Ricky Oh? was crazy. There's a scene from there mad, bro. I'm not sure how it is, but in He pulls out the Yeah, in in the English dub, like he's fighting that that buff Thai guy named Oscar, right? He pulls his own guts out cuz he got stabbed. And then the boss is like, "Oh yeah, you you got a lot of guts, Oscar." Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah. The dub is And he chokes him with it. I'm like, you got Yeah, the dub is hilarious for that. You got a lot of guts, Oscar. And he's like one one blind eye all evil, but it's like he's a Dude, I hear I hear they like like the guys who would dub it would like get drunk. Dude, he's the northerner in ████ It Man. Oh, just older Terry Fan, yeah. Wait, that's the

20:12 same guy? That's Ricky Oh? Yeah, that's that's Ricky Oh. Ricky Oh is the northerner? Yeah. My brain's exploding, dude. He was so skinny before. I know, yeah. Ricky Oh had some of the the best practical effects ever. Yeah, when he hits he punches the fist and his explodes. Trying to find one of the scenes. It's so ridiculous. I didn't know that was the same guy. That's insane. Dude, for reals, yeah. Oh, my heart. Why does he get one of the craziest roles in the one of the sickest roles ever? Ricky, you all right? Wow, what a cool career. Oh god, dude. What a way to fight back. Oh, yeah. And then here's you got a lot of guts, Oscar. Oh, and the dub doesn't Yeah, the subtitles won't say that. Oh, it's a different You see it in his face? Give up till you die. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is him. This guy literally doesn't

21:02 have intestines right now. I can't believe that's the northerner. And then I think he kicks his eye or some ████ here. X-ray. Mortal Kombat. Dude. That was legit. That was legit. I think subconsciously I wanted to get buff cuz of that. I was like I don't know like it's like oh ████ Honestly, I think when me and Mike Song stumbled upon this movie we were ████ dying. Were you high? Yeah, it's insane, dude. It's it's over the top. those faded ass movies. Were you Were you guys ever into horror movies? Are you guys horror movie Yeah. Dude, horror is But I still think old horror movies are scarier than new ones. Right. Cuz the sh- the quality is so s█████. Yeah, it's even scarier because you you can't make out exactly what's going on. Yeah, dude. Yeah. And they did the practical effects back then, whereas now it's all like via effects. It just looks And you can tell And I feel like there was a lot of kung fu horror movies back

21:52 then. And there's I don't see any They had all the jump scares, the hopping vampires. You know that when the head comes off the thing and it Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah. Encounters a spooky kind of like Sammo Hung like Yeah, dude. You know what what's crazy? Sammo Hung I think this is what Daniel Mar our our older brother teammate told us. He told us that Sammo Hung actually invented that genre of like kung fu vampires. What? But I'm sure the hopping thingy Yeah, I think the lore goes way back, but he's the first to really make it a visual. Taoism. It's with the Taoism. And I guess it's a tradition that um like you walk the corpses back like the Taoist like shamans would walk the corpses back to their homeland to be buried. That's why they would they would follow them in the middle of night. And it would always be at night. And they have the bells to let the the villagers know that they're passing by. It was I

22:42 love I loved that movie when I was a kid. Sammo was the first to illustrate it that exact way. I think so. I think so. If I check I could be wrong, I don't know. But It's like a video game enemy now. But those scared the ████ out of me when we were when I was a kid. I loved them. You were scared of those things? Yeah, one of the movies I watched I think the guy was trying to was trying to hide. And then I was like okay, quick got into the other room, thank god. And then the ████ vampire like stuck his hands through the ████ wall and then grabbed the dude and I think still killed him that way. And I'm like, what the ████ Dude, I think they even came out with like Japanese like action figures and cartoons for that. Wow. they call the the it was called Kyonshi Kyonshi or something like that. It's like In Vietnamese it's called like Kyonshi and then in Chinese it's like a Jiangshi. Jiangshi, yeah.

23:32 But then you could stop them by putting the ████ paper on them. Taoism on them, yeah. Paper, dude. You see it in his face? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it is him. This guy literally doesn't have intestines right now. I can't believe that's the northerner. And then I think he kicks his eye or some ████ here. X-ray. Mortal Kombat. Dude. That was legit. That was legit. I think subconsciously I wanted to get buff cuz of that. I was like I don't know like it's like oh ████ Honestly, I think when me and Mike Song stumbled upon this movie we were ████ dying. Were you high? Yeah, it's insane, dude. It's it's over the top. those faded ass movies. Were you Were you guys ever into horror movies? Are you guys horror movie Yeah. Dude, horror is But I still think old horror movies are scarier than new ones. Right. Cuz the

24:22 sh- the quality is so s█████. Yeah. It's even scarier because you you can't make out exactly what's going on. Yeah, dude. Yeah. And they did the practical effects back then, whereas now it's all like via effects. It just looks And you can tell And I feel like there was a lot of kung fu horror movies back then.
