An Expert on Nude Kickboxing

30 September, 2008 (09:23) | New Reviews

Project VHS closes September in classy fashion:

Angelfist
Just as I was pleased that “post apocalyptic rollerskating movie” is not a description of a single film but of an entire genre, so too am I happy that “movies featuring nude kickboxing” yields expansive enough results that I can sit back and say, “You know, I think I’m going to become an expert in films that feature nude kickboxing.” Angelfist certainly doesn’t fail to deliver in the nude kickboxing arena, though it does fail to deliver in just about every aspect that a movie might otherwise strive to achieve. It joins a storied list of films that includes Angel of Destruction, Redline, Girls on the Run, Rolls Royce Baby, and Kungfu Leung Strikes Emanuelle in my collection of nude kickboxing movies. Rolls Royce Baby in particular teaches us that there’s nothing appealing about watching a sleazy Eurotrash lounge lizard do full frontal nude katas. In general, nude karate is not a sport that lends itself to the male anatomy, though I don’t begrudge any man who chooses to make it his chosen form of exercise. If only they’d had the good sense to accompany his workout with a similar scene of Lina Romay, but she’s spending too much time in that movie standing on her head while nude for no good reason other than it never hurts to feature Lina Romay nude and standing on her head. I know there are plenty of other films out there featuring nude martial arts, and I intend, one by one and while dressed like Coffin Joe, to possess them all.

I remember seeing the VHS to this many a time at Hollywood and never imagined that it contained nude kickboxing. The other day I saw that TNT Jackson was on the Internet Movie Archive and read up on it and supposedly that one has nude kickboxing, too.

Well, it’s another Cirio Santiago production, so I guess it makes sense. The man knew his stuff.

Would you say that whereas some people made up for a lack of talent with wires, quick cuts, etc., he made up for a lack of talent with nudity in his fighting?

I’d say he more than made up for it. And notice — Jackie Chan gets older, less able to do the crazy stuff he used to do. And what happens? Nude fight scene in The Accidental Spy.
