Fury of the Fist and the Golden Fleece

I never had so much fun watching a B-movie parody. It's like a parody on steroids. So many cameos. I keep recognizing a new face every time I watch it. Amazing "blast from the past" only understood if you grew up in the 80s and love martial arts.

I gotta out this in the so bad it's good category.

FURY OF THE FIST AND THE GOLDEN FLEECE feels like if you took a group of Gen-Z kids, showed them a couple '80s martial arts flicks and said, "Okay, now YOU try it!" It's so lazy and ignorant in what it's attempting to satirize that nearly every bit of humor falls completely flat and is just oddly detached. On top of this, a kitchen sink's worth of color filters, overlays, film grain, chromatic aberration and more are overused with motion-sickness results. Oddly, they also added video game (or maybe graphic novel?) effects that were never in any of those old films. The whole thing is a dull but exhausting fever dream. This very barely looks and quacks like an '80s duck, enough to maybe fool young people who have bought into the "everything '80s is cool" bandwagon, but wow is it awful. So bad it's terrible. Avoid this at all costs.

I also have to say it was really good for its genre.. I laughed a lot, and really enjoyed the characters.. It was so over the top with its humor, but it worked! A great mix of personalities and definitely a cool/fun/trippy tribute to the early 80's Comedy/Action Martial Arts films.. Stoners, prepare to laugh your asses off in mystical mayhem ;) with lots of great cameos!

This was a pathetic excuse for a so called movie. Trust me when I say, don't bother.
