Although the somewhat redeeming culmination is the Blackadder episode “Major Star”, which has it both ways by decrying the tradition as vehemently as you, and then giving us Hugh Laurie in drag. (And I hope you’re not going to try and tell me THAT’S not funny.)

(I would also argue that Dame Edna is coming from a different mind-set.)

So, Baron! We meet again! Mwoo-ha-ha-ha-ha! (She said, as her plan to drive the Baron insane by introducing him to all the looniest movies in the world began to bear fruit.)

Thank you for the thought, but don’t bother. My eyesight being what it is, I have a deep and abiding hatred of 3-D.

You know, now that you mention it, you’re right. For a Cat III film, The Story of Ricky is bizarrely chaste.

Ricky lacks the outlandish sexual aspects of 7th Curse, but it makes up for that by having a guy get his eyeball slapped out then use his own large intestine to strangle another guy.

Plus, for a while, it was the most popular animated gif on the internet.

“I remember reading about this in “Asian Cult Cinema” and trying to compare reviews of this one with “Story of Ricky” to decide which one was more graphic.”

I’m glad to see that people here are seeking to make informed, sober decisions about how to best spend their graphically violent insane Hong Kong movie entertainment dollars.

(BTW, I think “Ricky” still beats “The Seventh Curse” on that scale, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen either of them.)

I remember reading about this in “Asian Cult Cinema” and trying to compare reviews of this one with “Story of Ricky” to decide which one was more graphic. I’ve seen clips from it and Yuen Bun’s (The Blade, Once Upon a Time in China IV and V) choreography wasn’t bad.

My goal is to visit Australia in 2010, provided Scotland doesn’t bankrupt me this year. I’ll bring the 3D glasses.

Old Mother Riley Meets the Vampire - so the gist of your review is that old men in drag isn’t inherently funny? I can see that you didn’t grow up in England (or Australia, hello Dame Edna) where it’s an article of light-entertainment-faith that this is pretty much comedy gold. Luckily most of this pratfalling-lame innuendo-slapstick -music hall speil had died off before my time, though just enough of it survived onto television in my childhood to give me shivers.
