5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: not gone away. We're going to keep doing them, but

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: we're just gonna experiment with doing them like we used

7
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,760
Speaker 1: to do them, which is to say, run them once

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 1: a month or so and have them be a bit longer,

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: have a little more listener mail to choose from, So

10
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 1: keep writing in contact. It's Stuff to Blow your Mind

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: dot com. And hey, let us know how you think

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: this experiment is going. If you prefer it the old way, fine,

13
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: right in let us know we can have that discussion anyway.

14
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: Back to the business at hand. Yes, this is going

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: to be Child of Peach, a wonderful nineteen eighties Taiwanese

16
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: action fantasy adventure film. It's a fairy tale, it has demons,

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: it has ridiculous actions sequences. This episode original we published

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: three seventeen, twenty twenty three. Enjoy.

19
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: Welcome to Stuff to Blow Your Mind, a production of iHeartRadio.

20
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: Hey you welcome to Weird House Cinema.

21
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 3: This is Rob Lamb and this is Joe McCormick, and

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 3: today's film for Weird House Cinema is the nineteen eighty

23
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 3: seven Taiwani is action fantasy film Child of Peach, A

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 3: truly special work of art, without doubt, I will say,

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 3: one of the most frenzied and fairal movies we have

26
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: ever watched on this show. This movie is so bizarre,

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 3: so much, and so fast, and it certainly has a

28
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 3: reputation online for being just a tornado of weirdness that

29
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 3: I'm genuinely shocked. I had never heard of this movie

30
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 3: before you selected it for today's episode, Rob, So how

31
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 3: did you find Child of Peach.

32
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: Well, I think my earliest exposure to it was and

33
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: everything is terrible two minute clip mashup of scenes from

34
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: the movie. And I watched this at some point and

35
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 1: was just blown away by the weirdness, but also just assumed, well,

36
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: these are just the highlights they took the you know,

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 1: get a weird movie, if you get all the weirdest moments,

38
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: you probably got about two minutes worth. And so I laughed,

39
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 1: and then I kind of moved on. But then when

40
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: we were talking about Thrilling Bloody Sword, another Taiwanese fantasy film.

41
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: In the last year or so on Weird House Cinema.

42
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: I ran across it again when I was looking into

43
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: Taiwanese cinema in general, and some of the extras on

44
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: that disc from Blue Justin to Clue of the Gold

45
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: Ninja video, and that put it back in my radar,

46
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh, well, if we've enjoyed Thrilling

47
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 1: Bloody Sword this much, then I guess we've got to

48
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: come back around to Child of Peach.

49
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: There are certainly some esthetic ways in which this movie

50
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 3: did remind me of Thrilling Bloody Sword, but I'm going

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: to make a very strange comparison. I kept thinking it

52
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 3: had another kind of bizarre but familiar energy, and I

53
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 3: finally realized what it was, and it's that this movie

54
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: kind of reminds me of Morose Co aka Jack Frost,

55
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: the nineteen sixty four Soviet fantasy film that we covered

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 3: a couple of years back around Christmas. And we can

57
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 3: get into more of the similarities and differences in a bit.

58
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: But I was trying to think why that isn't I

59
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 3: think one reason would be, despite the fact that you

60
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 3: could argue these are both kind of, whether intentionally or not,

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: a kind of psychotronic cinema. They're both actually based on

62
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: folk tales, so they have a kind of old soul

63
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: to them, despite how weird they are.

64
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: Absolutely, yeah, And there was something we've always have taken

65
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 1: into mind when we're looking at a quote unquote weird

66
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 1: film from another from another country's film tradition, you know,

67
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: like how much of it is genuine weirdness? And I

68
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of genuine weirdness this movie.

69
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah.

70
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 1: But then there you know, there's certain aspects of it

71
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: that are in trench within a different film culture than

72
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: one might be used to. And then there is this

73
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: aspect of it that comes from folklore. And of course

74
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: folklore is also it's a it's a rich welve wonder

75
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: but also weirdness.

76
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, fairy tales are like all fairy tales are

77
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: kind of weird. If you're unfamiliar with them. There's just

78
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 3: like the set you grew up with, so they don't

79
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: feel weird anymore. But you experience the fairy tales of

80
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: an unfamiliar culture and you're like, whoa, that is odd?

81
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and yeah, the ones in your own culture

82
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: are weird too, you just don't necessarily have the distance

83
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 1: to realize that. Oh yeah, the idea of Paul Bunyan

84
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: and a giant blue ox. That's strange. That's strange stuff. Yeah.

85
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: But anyway, the particular folk tale here at the heart

86
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: of this is a Japanese folk tale, the folk tale

87
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: of Momo Taro. This is about a hero child born

88
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: from a giant peach, and it's actually quite famous. It

89
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: was I was reading that it was utilized in World

90
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: War two War proper Ganda animation in Japan. It's been

91
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: it's been echoed in various video game adaptations. In fact,

92
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: I was astounded by this. My son super into Pokemon.

93
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: He's super into this Pokemon Scarlet and Violet game. It's

94
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: the latest switch game for Pokemon. And there's DLC coming

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: out that is going to have three characters in it

96
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: that are based on three magical animals in this story

97
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: that are also in this movie. So it's like it's

98
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: actually the moment Taro folk tale casts a long shadow,

99
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: is just one that not everyone is exposed to or

100
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: doesn't realize they're looking at it.

101
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 3: Wait, Rob, are you telling me that the three guardians

102
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: of the garden in this film are now pokemon.

103
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: Yes, I've seen the photographs, my god, or they're not photographed.

104
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: There's still they're not actual like wildlife photographs, but yes,

105
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 1: they're on the way.

106
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 3: This will become more hilarious as we proceed to explain

107
00:05:58,320 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: the plot.

108
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: I also thought it was interesting because, Okay, in this

109
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: basic idea child a baby emerges from a giant peach

110
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: and it is raised by old people. This story is

111
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: also reminiscent of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, another

112
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: Japanese tale. This is about a baby found inside a

113
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: stalk of glowing bamboo, which has also been adapted many times,

114
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,119
Speaker 1: including in the twenty thirteen Studio Ghibli film The Tale

115
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:26,159
Speaker 1: of Princess Kakuya from twenty thirteen, which I watched not

116
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: too long ago, and it was quite good, beautifully animated.

117
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: Well, that's another thing that makes Child of Peach unique.

118
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 3: It is mostly this a wild, mad cap dance of

119
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: monsters and giant peaches peeing on people and stuff, but

120
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: it also there are moments where it really has kind

121
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 3: of a sweet core to it, especially with the story

122
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 3: of the old couple who lives in the bamboo forest

123
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 3: who end up adopting the peach kid as their son.

124
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 3: There were moments there where we were genuinely like, this

125
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 3: is so sweet.

126
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a movie that packs a lot. I mean,

127
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: it's just bulging at the stitches. There's so much fact

128
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 1: in here, and you know, it feels like a very

129
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: full meal, but very satisfyingly.

130
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 3: Okay, maybe we should do the elevator pitch though this

131
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: is one of those movies where you have to see

132
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 3: it to understand it, just like explaining what happens, and

133
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 3: it doesn't really communicate the vibe. But the pitch goes

134
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 3: like this. When the King Devil steals the Sword of

135
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: Sun from the peach garden, it's up to a baby

136
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 3: hatched from a giant, obnoxious peach to kill the devil

137
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: and recover the sacred mcguffin.

138
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: That's it, that's the quest.

139
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 3: And now there's also some rescuing of a princess somewhere

140
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 3: in there. There's a big, old rotund knight named Knight Melon.

141
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 3: You'll hear a lot more about him. There are guardians

142
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 3: that turn into animals, so there's a lot going on.

143
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: And this is another thing that kind of reminds me

144
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: of the Soviet fantasy film Morosco, because whereas in that

145
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: movie you get the feeling that they're just combining so

146
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 3: many different kind of fairy tale elements together into a

147
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 3: single narrative, this movie I don't know if they actually

148
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: come from fairy tales in every case, but this does

149
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 3: have that very like lots of different stuff thrown together

150
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 3: into a blender feeling.

151
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, almost kind of a circus feel like, well, you

152
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: got to have this act, you gotta any clowns, you

153
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 1: gotta have your lion tamers, you got to have this,

154
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: and so it's all there, three rings, all at once,

155
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: look wherever your eyes take you.

156
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 3: Their similarity I think has to do in part with

157
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 3: the gorgeously weird sets and costumes and the onslought of

158
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 3: peculiar supernatural images and themes, which again I think these

159
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: are partly unfamiliar to us because they are based in

160
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 3: the fairy tales of a culture that we're less familiar

161
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 3: with in childhood. But also they just contain a lot

162
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 3: of strange original elements that I suspect would be weird

163
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: to anybody watching. So there's that in common. But then

164
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 3: I think there's another similarity, one that's kind of hard

165
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 3: to explain but really does color our experience of a film,

166
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 3: and that is about the piecing of the introduction of

167
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 3: unusual imagery and ideas. Do you know what I'm talking

168
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: about here, Rob, Yeah.

169
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: There's kind of a feeling like you're hit with one

170
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: supernatural element and one speculative element and then wham, here

171
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: comes a fairy and to narrate things from the other direction,

172
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: and you can feel a little struck by it exactly.

173
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 3: Both of these movies have this habit of kind of

174
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: throwing a strange new character or image or statement or

175
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 3: behavior at you, and it usually does not give you

176
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 3: time to be like, wait, what is this? You don't

177
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 3: have that sinking in time. It's still just ripping ahead

178
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 3: at full speed to the next thing, right right. Another

179
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 3: thing about this movie, and this is partially a warning.

180
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: Love this movie, but it does have these major who

181
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: is this for? Issues? So you look at this, you'd

182
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: be like, oh, this would be good to show my kids.

183
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 3: I would not recommend that. So it has a very silly,

184
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: zany tone and subject matter that would seem to indicate

185
00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 3: that this is a movie for kids. But I think

186
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: it is not at all. It is full of inappropriate content.

187
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: There is almost constant swearing in the hard baked subtitles.

188
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: So it has these subtitles much like Thrilling Bloody Sword.

189
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,560
Speaker 3: At least in the version we watched, they seemed like

190
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: they like burned into the film itself.

191
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I and just to give ahead just a

192
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: little bit on quality like this is they aren't really official.

193
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 1: There's no official release of this film, yeah, outside of Taiwan,

194
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: is my understanding. So any copy you find of it

195
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: seems to be like the same, sort of slightly degread.

196
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 1: It's very watchable content, but yeah, it's not restored, it's

197
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 1: not pristine by any stretch. And it has the subtitles

198
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: in I believe Mandarin and English just hard baked in there,

199
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes you can't read them because those are white

200
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: subtitles against white backgrounds.

201
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, so there were parts where I really don't

202
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 3: know what was happening in the plot because it's being explained.

203
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 3: There's like exposition dialogue, and it's just white text on

204
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: a white background. So I don't know. But okay, so

205
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: there's a lot of swearing in the subtitles. I don't

206
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,839
Speaker 3: know if that means there is swearing in the original

207
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: dialogue or if this is a translation issue. Obviously, the

208
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 3: as we will note in several ways, the hard coded

209
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: subtitles we saw had a lot of I don't know

210
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 3: what felt like very approximate translations.

211
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, the subtitles are very rough around the edges anyway,

212
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: and then they hit way too hard, especially with the

213
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: swearing at times. And I guess I'm willing to attribute

214
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: this possibly to just, you know, the crude nature of

215
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: the subtitles. It's kind of like, what if, what if

216
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: any of us were given the task of translating Bart

217
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: Simpson's insults into a foreign tongue that we're not a

218
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: master off. You know, there's a certain nuance that has

219
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: to be in place where you know, Bart is saying

220
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: crude things, but they're not too crude or you want

221
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: to imply this thing but not stated outright in clinical terms.

222
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, I kind of I've tended to give them

223
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,080
Speaker 1: a break on that and chalk it up to less

224
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: than perfect subtitles in translation.

225
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 3: Okay, so you got the swearing. There's also some kind

226
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 3: of jarring nudity, not of a sexual nature, but just

227
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: like peach Kid running around naked a lot. And then

228
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 3: I think there's a scene where your night Melon character

229
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 3: gets pranked by just getting his pants pulled down and stuff.

230
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 3: There is occasionally really gory violence, but mostly not like it.

231
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 3: It's just these suddenly surprisingly gory moments interspersed with mostly

232
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: more cartoony martial arts action.

233
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, and generally the violence is directed at some sort

234
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 1: of a demon underling. Yeah, but still you know, heads

235
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,360
Speaker 1: will pop, brains will bleed, that sort of thing.

236
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,439
Speaker 3: Also, I don't know whether this one goes in the

237
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 3: the kid's movie column or the anti kids movie column,

238
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 3: but the movie is obsessed with urine. There is so

239
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 3: much PP on everything. How many PP scenes were there.

240
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: There's like Peach, the giant magic peach peeing on people.

241
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 3: There's the dog like animal creatures peeing in people's food.

242
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 3: There's other monster there's a lot of monster pee. I

243
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: think there are at least four or five P scenes.

244
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Oh really, I counted three, but I might have missed

245
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: one in there. This is ironic though, because okay, today

246
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: of publication, this happens to be Saint Patrick's Day, and

247
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 1: originally we were thinking, well, we should do an Irish movie,

248
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: and that ended up being a whole slog trying to

249
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: figure out what Irish movie would be appropriate and it

250
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: would be fun. And for a little bit we were

251
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 1: looking at nineteen eight six is raw Head Rex, which

252
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: features famously features a urine scene, and we're like, I

253
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: don't know, really, I want to talk about that urine scene,

254
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 1: So we pivoted to Child of Peach, which has at

255
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: least three urine gags. But like we were talking about before

256
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:16,560
Speaker 1: we came in here, I would say raw Head Rex

257
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: is a urine movie and Child of Peach is a

258
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: pee pee movie, and there's a big difference between the two.

259
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: And often what is in fact, in almost every case,

260
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 3: the thing that's peeing in Child of Peach is not

261
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: a human. It's big into animals peeing and peaches peeing,

262
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: and Peach based Mex peeing.

263
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: Yes, and very much played for comedy.

264
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: Earlier, I did describe the weirdness of this movie as

265
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 3: an onslaught, and I think that really is the right

266
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 3: term for it. When we were watching it, we had

267
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 3: to rewind many times because there'd just be something that

268
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 3: was like what and then it was so bizarre, But

269
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 3: then it was over too fast and we had to

270
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: take it back and we were like, what just happened?

271
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is actually a good movie to watch it

272
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: on like a YouTube type format, because you need to

273
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: be able to go back and re examine things you

274
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: think you saw and think you might halfway understand. It

275
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: is indeed just a NonStop sort of picture. I mentioned

276
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: that everything is terrible two minute cut of Child of

277
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: Peach and I'll embed that in the blog post for

278
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 1: this episode at immutamusic dot com in case when anyone

279
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: wants to check it out. Like I say, with any

280
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: other film, I would think, well, you got the weirdest

281
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: moments and that's two minutes worth the footage. Fair enough,

282
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: pretty fun, But no, there's so much more weirdness in

283
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: the film. Like, if you just watch those two minutes

284
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: with everything it's terrible and you think you've seen it all,

285
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: you haven't. You can then go and watch the full

286
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 1: film and it's still got so many things to exclaim about.

287
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 3: Yes, the treats just abound now.

288
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 1: As we discussed in our episode on Thrilling Bloody Sword,

289
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: it's our understanding that Taiwanese cinema at the time was

290
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: kind of the underdog versus Hong Kong cinema, and so

291
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: there's this feeling Taiwanese movies of this period, particularly fantasy

292
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: action films like this, the filmmakers really felt they had

293
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: to go big. They had to be weirder than Hong Kong,

294
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: they had to be riskier, and the stunts had to

295
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: maybe be a bit more dangerous. And I think you

296
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: can totally see all of this in Child of Peach

297
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: and a film that you can well imagine critics of

298
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: the time and of the intended region thinking it might

299
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: even be trying too hard, you know what I'm saying,

300
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 1: like like, oh, well, they just really are trying too

301
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: hard in this film. I don't think that's what most

302
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: contemporary viewers make of the film, though it is certainly

303
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: become a cult classic.

304
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: I don't know what that means trying too hard.

305
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: Like think of some outrageous comedy that not only has

306
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: to have just a gag a minute, but also really

307
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: wants you to make sure you got that gag. Hey,

308
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: did you get that gag? We just did. Let me

309
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 1: remind you of you know, like that energy of just

310
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: like I'm going to assault your senses and I just

311
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: really want you to like me kind of of energy.

312
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 1: Which can be very obnoxious if you're encountering a film

313
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: in its time, it hasn't had time to sort of

314
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 1: you know, cure in the in the in the in

315
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: the cellar or anything as this film has. Like maybe

316
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of something like an ace Ventura, you know,

317
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know what extent Aceventura has matured in

318
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: the Cellar either.

319
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 3: The Mega Dusk, Yeah is nineties Jim Carrey movies.

320
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, not exactly the same energy, but you know,

321
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: I don't know, just trying to think of movies that

322
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: are a lot and maybe that changes over time and

323
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: with different audiences.

324
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I get you now.

325
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: But at any rate, this film, like we say, it

326
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: seems to have been a hit because it spawned at

327
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: least one sequel, Magic of Spell from eighty eight and

328
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: perhaps Magic Warriors from eighty nine, both starring the same

329
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: actor and both from one of the same directors. Now,

330
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: there's no actual trailer that I could find for this film,

331
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 1: so we're just going to listen to just a little

332
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 1: bit of the audio from the film. Just give you

333
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: a little little tape. So this isn't going to be

334
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 1: our normal trailer audio treatment, but let's have a listen.

335
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: All right, Hopefully what you got from that is it's fun.

336
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 1: Now if you want to watch the film before continuing

337
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: on with the episode, just have to remind you that

338
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 1: this one, this one's hard to come by. If you're

339
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: looking for anything like an official release, I think you're

340
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: generally going to be looking at him ported DVDs or

341
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: burnt discs. I know Video Drum in Atlanta that they

342
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: say they have an acceptable copy of it, and you

343
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: can find it streaming in various formats online. It's exactly

344
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: the sort of film that I keep expecting Golden Ninja

345
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: Video to put out at some point, but it hasn't

346
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 1: come to fruition. So look around. There's there's some good

347
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: places to find it. And also there's that everything is

348
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: terrible two minute cut. If you just want to want

349
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,199
Speaker 1: a sample platter of what the full film would consist of.

350
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,879
Speaker 3: All right, you want to talk about some of the

351
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 3: people involved.

352
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm not going to go as in depth

353
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: on the cast, but there are some interesting folks to discuss. Now.

354
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 1: Just a note before I go to I had to

355
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: use multiple databases to get some of this info, so IMDb,

356
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: TMDb and also the Hong Kong movie database. So some things,

357
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,679
Speaker 1: especially the movie like this something, are listed on one

358
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: database and they're not on another, or names can be

359
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,160
Speaker 1: slightly different, So just keep that in mind as we proceed,

360
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: all right, Starting at the top here, one of the

361
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 1: two directors and also one of the stunt coordinators is

362
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: Chung singh Chow. Dates unavailable on this particular director. Taiwanese

363
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: director and his stunt coordinating and directing credits include both

364
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: Peach films so you know this one and then the

365
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: Definite sequel, as well as nineteen ninety one's Twelve Animals,

366
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,359
Speaker 1: which I've heard good things about, nineteen eighty five's Drunken Dragon,

367
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,160
Speaker 1: and nineteen eighty fives Hello Dracula, which is a hopping

368
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: vampire film and film franchise that is going to We're

369
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 1: going to mention it multiple times in the ourt discussion

370
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: of the people in this movie.

371
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: I was looking this up. I think there is also

372
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 3: a Korean TV series of the same name that is,

373
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: as far as I can tell, unrelated.

374
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a lot of questions about Hello Dracula,

375
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: like is it a definite franchise or is this like

376
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,120
Speaker 1: the Italian Zombie franchise where it's all about how these

377
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: movies have been released outside of the original market.

378
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 3: Well, I was looking for a stream of Hello Dracula

379
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 3: to try to see if I could, I don't know,

380
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: just get a little flavor of it, because I loved

381
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 3: the name. When you told me this, I first heard

382
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: it in the big bopper voice, you know. But yeah,

383
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 3: this looks like a franchise. I would love to check

384
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 3: out if I can actually get a copy of this movie.

385
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: The other director is chun Ling Chin, who lived nineteen

386
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: forty two through twenty sixteen. Additional planning and directing credits

387
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: include Dragonball The Magic Begins from nineteen ninety one, and

388
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 1: yes this is connected to dragon Ball Z.

389
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 3: So as somebody who was never a dragon Ball Z van,

390
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,640
Speaker 3: I've only seen little bits of it and heard other

391
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: people talk about it. I did have friends who were

392
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 3: into dragon Ball Z. It seemed like a show that

393
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 3: was very oriented around the concept of powering up. Is

394
00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 3: that accurate?

395
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: Yes, I think, And I think it has almost as large,

396
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 1: if not as large, a footprint in many people's sort

397
00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 1: of pop culture upbringing as Pokemon. But I personally don't

398
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: know a lot about it. My son has not gotten

399
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: into dragon Ball Z. But I know this is the

400
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: kind of thing like if you have dragon Ball Z

401
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: in your childhood, then it is a part of who

402
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: you are for the rest of your life.

403
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 3: It seems like it provides a useful set of metaphors

404
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 3: for whenever you're getting ready to do something important, you know,

405
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 3: like you're going into dragon Ball mode. Maybe you're powering

406
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: up for this test at school.

407
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. So this is a live action nineteen ninety

408
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: one adaptation of the dragon Ball manga and TV series

409
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: that led to dragon Ball Z. So, for instance, this

410
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 1: movie from ninety one has Goku in it, if that

411
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 1: means anything to you out there, But anyway, Chin also

412
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: worked on Hello Dracula, all right, and then the writer

413
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 1: for this film is Chin Kang Yao born nineteen forty six.

414
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: Extensive screenplay credits between forty nine and fifty three films,

415
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: depending on the database you're looking at. His earliest credit

416
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,560
Speaker 1: is the Bruce It's Bruce Lee l I. I've also

417
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: seen this pronounce Bruce Lai, which is kind of fun

418
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: because it's not really Bruce Lee. It's just a guy

419
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 1: who looks almost exactly like him. I guess are close

420
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: enough to market him as such. But anyway, he is

421
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 1: the nineteen seventy five film Super Dragon Versus Superman.

422
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 3: That's what title.

423
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, good title, and you know, implies some certain things

424
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,959
Speaker 1: that I'm not sure the movie is going to deliver on.

425
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: He also wrote Hello Dracula, Dragonball, The Magic Begins, One

426
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: Armed Swordsman Versus Nine Killers from seventy six, The Seven

427
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: Commandments of Kung Fu from seventy nine, and nineteen eighty

428
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 1: one's Chivalry Deadly Feud.

429
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 3: Okay, a few good sounding titles in there.

430
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: All Right. Our star, though, is is wrapped up in

431
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: this character of the peach kid, peach boy, whatever you

432
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: want to call him. Basically, like we said in the movie,

433
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: a male baby is born from a peach and is

434
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: rapidly grown up into a youth. That youth is played

435
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: by the female actor Saw Lao Lin or Lamsu Lao

436
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: or also Sharon Foster, so the name is listed different ways.

437
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: I think these are maybe different aliases. Certainly, Sharon Foster

438
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: is an americanized alias that was probably used as some

439
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: of these movies were marketed in other parts of the world,

440
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,400
Speaker 1: but this movie was apparently big enough a deal for

441
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: her that it kind of earned her the nickname Peach Baby.

442
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: So I think we can call her Peach Baby if

443
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,480
Speaker 1: we want, or we can just call her the kid

444
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: however you want to cut it.

445
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 3: But she doesn't play the baby. She plays like the

446
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 3: grown up Peach boy who is ready to fight evil.

447
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 1: Yes, playing a male character, but definitely has this kind

448
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: of punky brewster kung fu spirit to her. Very very peppy.

449
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: I've seen her described as a hung fu wonderkin of

450
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: her time. She apparently attended a peaking opera school in

451
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Taiwan but quickly made a name for herself as an

452
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 1: adorable fantasy action movie performer. On various databases, her acting

453
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: credits go back to nineteen eighty, but her career seems

454
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: to really take off with nineteen eighty six's Coong Fu

455
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: Wonder Child, a wu Shaw film in which our youthful

456
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 1: hero battles evil forces.

457
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: Okay, could also describe the movie we're talking about today,

458
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: are probably many others.

459
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 1: Yep, yep. And then comes Child of Peach in eighty seven,

460
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: which apparently earned her the nickname Peach Baby. The Peach

461
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: sequel follows, as do some other general youth versus demon films.

462
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: Including twelve animals, sometimes with the actor playing a female youth,

463
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,119
Speaker 1: other times of male youth, and she seems to cross

464
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: over into Hong Kong productions for a while as well,

465
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: which isn't surprising given the apparent exchange that went on

466
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 1: between the Hong Kong and Taiwanese films seen during this time.

467
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 1: As Justin d. Klu discusses and some of the extras,

468
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: I'm thrilling bloody sword But I think of a I've

469
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: been seen one of the Hong Kong film she's in.

470
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a very big role at all.

471
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,919
Speaker 1: But nineteen eighty nine's The Iceman Cometh, a movie about

472
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: frozen then thowed swordsmen from the Ming dynasty who then

473
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 1: have to battle it out in modern day Hong Kong.

474
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 3: WHOA, that's a good premise.

475
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't remember much about it, but I remember

476
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: I ended up watching it because became highly recommended from

477
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: some particular like Hong Kong film enthusiasts, who were like,

478
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,800
Speaker 1: if you want to see a sword fight, watch this movie.

479
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: It's the kids. Set your Highlander aside because The Iceman Cometh. Anyway,

480
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: peach Baby's tremendous, so much energy, just wonderful charisma. She's wonderful.

481
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 1: Totally agree. Peach Kid rules all right. Now we have

482
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 1: an old man and an old woman who are going

483
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: to be important to the plot. They end up raising

484
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: Peach baby, and the old man is played by Tuchin

485
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: who lived nineteen thirty two through two thousand and one.

486
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: Beijing born actor known for such films as Dragonball, The

487
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: Magic Begins. He plays Gohan. If that means anything to

488
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: you dragon Ball fans. He was also in Hello Dracula one, two, three,

489
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: and five. Note they seem to go up to six.

490
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: So he's a very fun actor in this. He has

491
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, old man act kung fu comedy.

492
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: He has one hundred and seventy acting credits on the

493
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: Hong Kong Movie data base. He's also in Magic of Spells.

494
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,679
Speaker 3: This is one half of our Bamboo Forest power couple

495
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,040
Speaker 3: who end up adopting Peach Kid from.

496
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: The Peach Oh. Yeah, there are a lot of fun.

497
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: There are a lot of nuances to them and their relationship. Yes,

498
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 1: old woman and again there I think these are their names,

499
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: at least in the subtitles, because they refer to each

500
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: other as such. They like old man to do this,

501
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: and then he's like, old woman, do this and so forth.

502
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: But anyway, The old Woman is played by Yume Fong

503
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: born nineteen fifty eight. She's apparently only in eight films,

504
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 1: including Magic of Spell and Hello Dracula three. But I

505
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: thought she was delightful in this very funny obviously a

506
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: much younger actor playing an older woman, but it was.

507
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: It's a very spirited performance.

508
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 3: She she does great.

509
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 1: Uh.

510
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 3: There's a whole like chase scene between her and the

511
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 3: peach where it involves the peach peeing on her. It

512
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 3: involves her butt catching on fire because she's going too

513
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: fast at one point. Uh. But it's great, and she

514
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 3: and the old man have some really great exchanges that

515
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 3: I don't know exactly what is getting lost in the translation,

516
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,479
Speaker 3: but like the uh the moments where she says like

517
00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,880
Speaker 3: I could born a melon and the old man says,

518
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: you can't even born a potato.

519
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're One of the main themes with her character

520
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: is that, yeah, she desperately wants to raise a child.

521
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: And at one point and their their their their agent.

522
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: As they remind each other by the they're like, should

523
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: we just raise melanite? What if we raised Melanite. What

524
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: if Melanite was our son sent from the Buddha And

525
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 1: they seem to entertain this idea until something better comes along.

526
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 3: Melanite, who is a very large, full grown man. Yes, yes,

527
00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: but they do note that he looks cute like a baby.

528
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, he does have those big cheeks. All right.

529
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: One of the villains we encounter in this is I've

530
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: seen her credited as Zombie Mother, but I think we

531
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: can think of her as the Witch. She's very much

532
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: a witch character. There's some big Baba yaga energy to

533
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 1: this role. And I didn't realize it was a drag

534
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: performance for the entire my entire viewing of the film.

535
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't until I started looking through the credits that

536
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 1: I realized this was the case played by actor Lin

537
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:30,000
Speaker 1: Koang jung dates unknown to me, but a stunt performer

538
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 1: and actor who has a lot of fun as are

539
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 1: over the top hell Escape matriarch of Evil.

540
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are multiple really good cross gender performances in

541
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 3: this and yeah, the Witch is fantastic. She wears a

542
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 3: ziggy stardust wig. Basically, Am I right about that?

543
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: I believe so? Yes, Yeah, so she has a lot

544
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: of pizazz. She's a fun witch and basically she just

545
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: wants to find a good match for her two sons,

546
00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 1: a nice princess for one of them or both of them.

547
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 3: To Mary, that's right, kidnaps a princess from a castle

548
00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 3: and like brings the princess back to Hell and she's like, well,

549
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 3: you will marry my two sons now, and the princess

550
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 3: is not interested, and then she yells at the prince.

551
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 3: She calls the princess some cuss words, but she also says,

552
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: you're engaging in fault finding with my sons.

553
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 1: So yeah, fun performance. This particularly actor. I think it

554
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,520
Speaker 1: looks like maybe did a lot of like smaller roles,

555
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: but maybe some bigger ones as well. So a lot

556
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: of like swordsmen, a lot of thug credits, so you know,

557
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: in action film, so one of the underlings who gets

558
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: into fights with the hero, that sort of thing. Oh,

559
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: but then let's talk about night Melon. Also sometimes credited

560
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: as Watermelon Boy. This is played by the actors Sam Ping.

561
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 3: You know, sometimes a movie like this will just cast

562
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 3: a big guy because they like he looks funny in

563
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 3: the scenes, or so they think, but it's it's not

564
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 3: actually as funny as they think it is. In this case,

565
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 3: it is like this guy has a lot of I mean,

566
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 3: his character is written in a hilarious way, but also

567
00:30:58,280 --> 00:30:59,840
Speaker 3: he has a lot of just kind of look into

568
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 3: the camera moments where I don't know it works, he

569
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 3: just looks funny.

570
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean they also he has kind of

571
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: a ridiculous haircut. Yes, he's constantly in kind of silly

572
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: looking clothes. So yeah, it's really played up. But yeah,

573
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: so this is we're talking about a guy who's you know,

574
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,600
Speaker 1: obviously a heavy set, comedic Taiwanese actor, and you look

575
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: at the various roles he's played and you see, like,

576
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: for instance, in Hello Dracula, he just plays fat cop,

577
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: which there's no way that that's not just a comedic

578
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: bit part. You know, I'm imagining just a cop that

579
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: is frightened by a vampire and runs away. I would

580
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: bet money on that being the case.

581
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 3: But in this movie, while he is certainly the butt

582
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 3: of jokes and pranks by the demons and so forth,

583
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 3: he's also a genuine hero. So he's like he is

584
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 3: in this film both a figure of fun and a

585
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,400
Speaker 3: figure of strength and courage.

586
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you know, I think something that really is

587
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: telling about this is that this actor also played the

588
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: character Pigsy from Journey into the West and at least

589
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: three films. Pigsy for anyone who's not aware, this is

590
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: one of the major characters in Journey into the West,

591
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: alongside the Monkey King. And you know, I think this

592
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: is that's kind of the energy of that character. It's

593
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:20,400
Speaker 1: like a rotund, poor sign character who is humorous but

594
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: also is a hero is also you know, very much

595
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: fighting on the side of good. So that might be

596
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: part of it, and we've maybe seeing some Pigsy energy

597
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: in this role, because yeah, he certainly gets to act

598
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: cowardly at times, he you knows, some pratfalls and lots

599
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: of humor, but he also gets to just really kick

600
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 1: butt too. He busts out a suplex at one point.

601
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: There's a part where he does like a really killer

602
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: centon drop. This is where like there's a demon on

603
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: the ground and he jumps and brings all his weight

604
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 1: down on the demon, like back first onto him. So yeah,

605
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,880
Speaker 1: he gets to whoop some butt as well.

606
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 3: He also gets powered up for extra heroics at the

607
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 3: end of this movie. I thought the mechanism they chose

608
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 3: here was interesting. The way they power him up is

609
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 3: they have the little fairy like do a cupid's arrow

610
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:12,680
Speaker 3: into him and the princess, so they, against all odds,

611
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 3: fall in love with each other, and this brings him

612
00:33:15,040 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: extra strength to fight the devils to rescue her.

613
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, love is his energy source.

614
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,600
Speaker 3: And then once she's out of her jail cell, they're

615
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 3: just like kissing through the entire final battle.

616
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: Yeah. So lots of lots of fun with that character.

617
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: I ended up. It grew on me, Like at first

618
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,120
Speaker 1: I thought, it's like, this is just going to be

619
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: a one note, one dimensional comedic character. But there at

620
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: least two dimensions in play here.

621
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,080
Speaker 3: Oh totally. I love night Melon. I think he's great.

622
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: Okay, now this is a much smaller character, but at

623
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: one point one of the demon underlings that they battle

624
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: is referred to, at least in the subtitles as Hercules.

625
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 1: He's very much this kind of muscly ogre character played

626
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 1: by Wong gin Wii. And if you're wondering, hey, is

627
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: this the same big muscled ogre dude there was in

628
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:59,520
Speaker 1: Thrilling Bloody Sword that got stabbed up the butt with

629
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: the thrill Bloody Sword. Well, let me assure you that

630
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: it absolutely is no way. Yeah, it's him. He has

631
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: sixteen bulging acting credits on the Hong Kong movie database,

632
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: playing mostly like giants, muscle men and bodyguards, you know

633
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 1: the type. His earliest credit his nineteen seventy three's Kung

634
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: Fu Inferno, and this is actually his penultimate role before

635
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty nine's King of the Children aka Hello Dracula four.

636
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,360
Speaker 3: What does he play a vampire?

637
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: I'm assuming he plays a muscle dude. I don't know

638
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: what kind of muscle did.

639
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:35,200
Speaker 3: Maybe a muscle vampire in this So he's a muscle

640
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 3: demon here. But in Thrilling Bloody Sword, he was a

641
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 3: statue that came to life. It was in that scene

642
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 3: where each statue had only a specific place on their

643
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 3: body where they could be wounded. And then with the

644
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: I think he was the last one left and it's like,

645
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 3: oh wow, we cannot find his weakness until finally The

646
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,919
Speaker 3: Thrilling Bloody Sword also had a little fairy character. Yes,

647
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 3: strange thing in common, but the little fairy in that

648
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: movie like used her X ray vision on him to

649
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 3: determine that he had to be stabbed, and I think

650
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 3: I think euphemistically called it the thigh and then but

651
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: when they show it, he stabs him in the butt.

652
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, they had a different person on subtitle translation

653
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,279
Speaker 1: duties for that film. Yeah, I feel like the subtitles

654
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 1: for Child of Peach would have been a little cruder.

655
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: But speaking of that fairy, not the same actor playing

656
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: the fairy in this film, Shadow Lou plays the fairy

657
00:35:29,719 --> 00:35:32,279
Speaker 1: born nineteen seventy eight, a child actor who was in

658
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: I think mostly Hello Dracula movie. She played ten ten

659
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: in Hello Dracula's one, two, three, and five, and I

660
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 1: think she is actually a Dracula, a vampire, a hopping

661
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: vampire O Junghi in that movie.

662
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,240
Speaker 3: You mean the actresses in real life?

663
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 1: Maybe? Maybe? And then finally, there are other wonderful cast

664
00:35:52,200 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 1: members in this But the last one I'm gonna mention

665
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 1: is Hwang Chong Yu playing the Demon King or the

666
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 1: Spirit King. There are various ways he's describe the main villain.

667
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,000
Speaker 1: Born nineteen sixty one, Taiwanese actor who seems to have

668
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 1: played a fair number of wise masters, vampires, and so forth.

669
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,240
Speaker 1: He was also a martial arts choreographer and director.

670
00:36:10,640 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 3: King Devil also rules the villains in this just across

671
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: the board have an awesome Hellish charisma. King Devil is great,

672
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 3: the Witch is great, all the little demon fighters. We

673
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 3: should get into more about the individual demon fighters as

674
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 3: we talk about the plot, but yeah, everything from Hell

675
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:29,879
Speaker 3: is good in here.

676
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's break down the plot here, all right.

677
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 3: Well, it gets right into it. We just start somewhere

678
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 3: in the mountains, and it is clearly it's an indoor

679
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:50,239
Speaker 3: set meant to represent the mountains. It's kind of like,

680
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 3: you know, it's like the guts agro Crag, but with

681
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 3: like trees and happy vegetation everywhere.

682
00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we're told that this is somewhere in the

683
00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: Himalaya Mountain. It's the Peach Garden. It's lush and warm

684
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: due to the power of the Sword of the Sun,

685
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: which is embedded in the hilltop ex caliber style.

686
00:37:08,320 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 3: Now, pretty much right off the bat, you start figuring

687
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 3: out that you're not going to be able to read

688
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 3: some of the hard burned subtitles because it tells you,

689
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: you know, we're here in the Peach Garden. And then

690
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 3: you see but right there in the peak, there is

691
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 3: a different world the Peach Garden as the natural power

692
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 3: absorbed by the Sword of sun It and then it's

693
00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 3: just a white text on white background, so something about

694
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 3: the garden I'm not sure. But then a song kicks

695
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,959
Speaker 3: off and I rewound and listen to the opening song

696
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:43,320
Speaker 3: probably fourteen times. It's a great tune, really puts you

697
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: in the mood for happy, happy fighting. And we get

698
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 3: to see all of the Guardians of the Peach Garden

699
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: going about their business and doing transformations. So who are

700
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 3: the guardians.

701
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: Here, Well, the subtitles tell us that they are. Well,

702
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 1: the songs, the song that says us tells us they

703
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: are the Naughty Angels, right, They're the Guardians of the

704
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: Peach Garden.

705
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 3: It says, it says turning into rainbows something I can't

706
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 3: read that. Dad and moms start playing magic Naughty Angels

707
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 3: dance on the roof.

708
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exaccurate. So yeah, these three Elfish guardians, the

709
00:38:21,719 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: subtitles tell us that they are tiny cock, tiny dog,

710
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: and tiny monkey. I believe in general these characters are

711
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 1: associated with the pheasant, with a domestic dog, and with

712
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: a monkey of some sort, and we encounter them in

713
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 1: their animal forms, and then we see them in this

714
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: scene transform into their human forms, and don't worry. They

715
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 1: have a third form that we won't find out about

716
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 1: until the final battle. But they are the guardian angels

717
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: of the Garden, and the Garden is ruled over by

718
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,279
Speaker 1: what is described as an intimate couple. I take that

719
00:38:53,320 --> 00:38:56,400
Speaker 1: Demeano cult power couple who are raising a plump, cute

720
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,760
Speaker 1: baby boy on the magic nectar of a giant peach,

721
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: the Holy Peach. So Mother Peach tends to the baby

722
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:07,759
Speaker 1: while Father Peach makes swords fly around their cavern home.

723
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, he does sword telekinesis in the cave while the

724
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:17,239
Speaker 3: mother like harvests the nectar that drips off of I

725
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 3: don't know if there's a word for this. What is

726
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 3: the little nub on the bottom of a peach called?

727
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: Ooh, that's a good question. I don't know, but it's

728
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,959
Speaker 1: prominently featured in many of the peach designs we see

729
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 1: in this film.

730
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:32,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, So the little peach nub drips nectar into

731
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: a big glass punch bowl.

732
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: It's a punch bowl.

733
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 3: And then I guess she gets it from the punch

734
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 3: bowl and then does she feed it to their baby.

735
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 1: I believe that this is like the sacred elixir that

736
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: is making peach baby strong.

737
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:49,919
Speaker 3: But these two are the masters of the garden. And

738
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 3: then so they're living in peace and harmony. It seems

739
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 3: like almost kind of like a perfect existence it's implied

740
00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 3: to be. But then uh oh they they one day

741
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 3: some I think something feels a miss and they say,

742
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 3: stranger is coming.

743
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: What is this?

744
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: And then like four big balls just roll into the garden.

745
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:12,399
Speaker 1: Yep, and they explode. Out of them come devils where

746
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: this is the Devil king or King Devil and his cronies.

747
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: They have come to claim the magic sword better protect

748
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:22,480
Speaker 1: the baby. And just another myth note or folklore note here.

749
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 1: I think this character is generally referred to as an

750
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 1: one in the Japanese tradition and certainly has ony notes

751
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: into the character design here.

752
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 3: So how to describe the King Devil? He's wearing armor?

753
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: Is this kind of a Samurai armor?

754
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:40,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks very very Japanese and it's inspiration which

755
00:40:40,480 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: makes sense given the origin of the folk tale. And

756
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:45,839
Speaker 1: has big onwy teeth.

757
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:50,320
Speaker 3: Huge fangs that it almost like fangs that look funny

758
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 3: to try to fit inside his mouth.

759
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,360
Speaker 1: Yep. Yeah, like it's a mouthful like Luckily this guy's

760
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:59,160
Speaker 1: not actually having to too much live vocal acting. I

761
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:01,880
Speaker 1: think he's just kind of got ah and somebody dubs

762
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: over it.

763
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 3: But he's got a huge red wigs, a red hair,

764
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:10,920
Speaker 3: gigantic bushy red eyebrows. He's got a pail makeup on

765
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: his face, the sort of samuraiish armor. His helmet has

766
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,319
Speaker 3: a big oh what do you call that kind of

767
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 3: the upward facing crescent moon shape on it, like horns.

768
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he cuts a great profile.

769
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,560
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, King Devil is so stylish. And so he

770
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 3: gets there and he says, I want the sword, and

771
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 3: of course, you know the Master is the gardener, not

772
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,239
Speaker 3: just going to give him the sword. So he manifests.

773
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:38,839
Speaker 3: He has his balls explode and they transform into these

774
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 3: devils with green hair and horns who are wielding these

775
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 3: long like pole arm weapons. And then there's a big

776
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 3: battle that breaks out and the battle is amazing. I

777
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 3: watched the first ten minutes of this film multiple times.

778
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a film where I think a lot

779
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: of people you might not expect the martial arts action

780
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 1: to be this good, but the martial arts action and

781
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: this is great. I think maybe the martial arts is

782
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,520
Speaker 1: stronger in this film than thrilling, bloody sword that was

783
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: still really impressive and thrilling, bloody sword. Like, no matter

784
00:42:09,719 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: what your issues are with not being be able to

785
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 1: understand all the subtitles or know what's going on plot

786
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: wise at any given point, the action sequences absolutely make sense,

787
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:25,319
Speaker 1: like they have build to them, they have callbacks, they

788
00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:29,640
Speaker 1: tell a story with the action, and I think it's

789
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of a testament to just the tradition of Taiwanese

790
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 1: and Hong Kong cinema at the time that this was

791
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: just sort of this was so important to making a film,

792
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,240
Speaker 1: So it's great, highly recommend the action. We'll keep talking

793
00:42:42,239 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 1: about it.

794
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 3: But while the battle is going on with so you

795
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 3: get the Master, the man from the cave, and the

796
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 3: three guardians fighting off the devils, the king Devil goes

797
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 3: up to the Sword of Sun and pulls it out

798
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 3: of the stone, I guess, and then it's like shooting

799
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 3: this green electricity all over the place. So as soon

800
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 3: as he takes it, the garden turns dark and snow

801
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:08,080
Speaker 3: starts falling. So again I think it was established earlier

802
00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 3: that the sword is what makes the top of the

803
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,319
Speaker 3: mountain habitable and a lush garden instead of just a

804
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:15,959
Speaker 3: you know, snow capped rock.

805
00:43:16,280 --> 00:43:18,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then things go downhill from there.

806
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the King Devil. Unfortunately, he kills the man

807
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 3: and the woman, murders them, and casts the Guardians off

808
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 3: of the mountaintop.

809
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: But not before Mom makes a plan for Peach baby.

810
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: She takes Peach baby, puts him inside, puts the baby

811
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: inside of the Holy Peach, and the Holy Peach flies off.

812
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 3: That's right, So it is. You know, it's Moses in

813
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,360
Speaker 3: the basket, except it's a baby in a peach.

814
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. And you know, since the peach is alive and

815
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: has personality, it's not just like random like where will

816
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 1: this baby wash up? It's like, no, the peach must

817
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: find suitable parents for the baby.

818
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 3: That's right, it does a sentient peach. Also, while the

819
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 3: peach is flying away, this is where we first meet

820
00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 3: the fairy. I think a fairy just randomly shows up, Yeah,

821
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 3: and just says it's strange the peach garden is gone.

822
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: She's mostly here, I think, to move the plot along

823
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 1: in multiple ways.

824
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,839
Speaker 3: Oh and also, as the peach is leaving, she goes

825
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:18,479
Speaker 3: and talks to the dying woman in the cave, who

826
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 3: she calls the woman Landlord. I thought was interesting. It

827
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:26,640
Speaker 3: was like, is the fairy paying rent? But okay, we

828
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 3: cut from here to meet the old man and the

829
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 3: old woman. They are living together in the bamboo forest

830
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 3: and they are going to a shrine of the Buddha

831
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 3: to pay homage. We see that they are a you know,

832
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 3: they kind of crack wise, but they are also in

833
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 3: many ways a pious and kind hearted couple. And they

834
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 3: go to the shrine of the Buddha and have a

835
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 3: conversation about how they are unable to have children. But

836
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 3: when the woman goes off to wash clothes at the

837
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: side of the river, she comes across a giant peach

838
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 3: and from here unfolds an amazing chase scene. Rob, I

839
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:07,840
Speaker 3: don't know if there's anything you want to mention about this,

840
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 3: but well, it goes over sea, not see over river, water,

841
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,960
Speaker 3: air and land. It has like a sort of dragging

842
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,040
Speaker 3: scene where the lady's butt catches on fire. It does

843
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 3: involve the peach peeing on her, but she also does

844
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 3: sort of catch it in the end.

845
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,560
Speaker 1: Right, right, It is a frantic chase. This chase sequence

846
00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 1: is well represented in that two minute. Everything is terrible

847
00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:34,840
Speaker 1: cut and yeah, it's just includes a lot of antics

848
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: with indeed, the peach peeing on her to put out

849
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 1: the fire and so forth. But eventually she catches it

850
00:45:41,600 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 1: and kind of locks it in a room back at

851
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,359
Speaker 1: the house, and so when the old man shows up,

852
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 1: she's like, old man, you got to get in here

853
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,240
Speaker 1: and deal with this peach. And he's like, oh, old woman,

854
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: you were just making things up. I can handle this,

855
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: and then goes in and encounters the peach.

856
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, he says he's going to eat it up. I'm

857
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 3: gonna go in and eat the peach up.

858
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 1: Oh.

859
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 3: There's also a very funny moment where in the foreground

860
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 3: the old man and the old woman are talking and

861
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 3: he's saying, you know, that's okay, I'm hungry, prepare a

862
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 3: meal for me, and she's like, no, there's a haunted peach.

863
00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:16,760
Speaker 3: And then in the background you just see the peach

864
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 3: zooming around like behind their backs. It's like a ghost

865
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:21,880
Speaker 3: in a horror movie.

866
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, just just zooming around ominously in the back. They

867
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: have no idea what's about to happen.

868
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 3: And it's doing Poultery guy stuff. It makes the furniture

869
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: dance and spin around in the air, almost exactly like

870
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 3: Trumpy from Pod People. It has similar powers yeah, but

871
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 3: I think the fight stops when the fairy shows up

872
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 3: to convince the peach to stop doing satanic black magic.

873
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,920
Speaker 1: Is she Yeah, there's kind of a fight that happens,

874
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: where like the old man jumps up on the rafters

875
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: and the Peach chases him and he's like, you stink, peach.

876
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so good.

877
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, then the fairy shows up and she's like, hey, Peach,

878
00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: cut it out. These are some good folks. I think

879
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: you need to open up and let them raise the baby.

880
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 3: That's all right, he says, this couple are good persons.

881
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 3: And then so the peach cracks open, it hatches, this

882
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 3: beautiful holy light comes out of it, and then there's

883
00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 3: the baby. And so the old woman grabs the baby

884
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 3: and she says, old man, take a look at it.

885
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 3: Real cute. And from here they adopt the baby, they

886
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:27,320
Speaker 3: make it their own, and it is actually shockingly sweet.

887
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 3: Like there's this sort of montage of her rocking the

888
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,560
Speaker 3: baby and singing to it as it falls asleep, and

889
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 3: then we see the baby growing older in this bontage,

890
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:39,080
Speaker 3: and Rachel and I were watching this and she was like,

891
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 3: what and why am I having feelings?

892
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 1: I know, I felt the same way, like, the baby

893
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,440
Speaker 1: is very adorable, and she's there's the part where she's singing,

894
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 1: touching your head and touching your hands like a little lullaby,

895
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 1: and it's very sweet. It's legitimately sweet.

896
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,319
Speaker 3: Oh and we should mention earlier when they were at

897
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,879
Speaker 3: the Buddha shrine in the forest before they get Peach kid,

898
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,359
Speaker 3: this is when they met night Melon. So they're like,

899
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:05,399
Speaker 3: they're saying, we wish we could have a son. And

900
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 3: then I don't know where night Melon comes from. It's

901
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 3: like he falls out of the sky.

902
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. He's on some sort of adventure.

903
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, and he drops down and at first you're like,

904
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 3: who is this But they're like, oh, here's a big baby,

905
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:22,600
Speaker 3: let's raise him. And then they realize like, oh no,

906
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 3: he is cute like a baby, but this is a

907
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 3: grown man. And then we discovered this is night Melon.

908
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 3: He's out hunting birds, I think, with his retainers, and they, oh,

909
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 3: he shows off his strength by chopping down a giant

910
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,239
Speaker 3: stock of bamboo, like a tree sized one with his

911
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 3: hands to get the bird out of it.

912
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now there's a wonderful jarring transition though, because we

913
00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: have this wonderful lullaby, you know, rocking, nice, sweet, my

914
00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: sweet peach kid into into slumber, that sort of thing.

915
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: But then immediately we cut and it's like, meanwhile in Hell,

916
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:00,360
Speaker 1: in Hell.

917
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 3: So the King Devil returns to Hell where there is

918
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 3: a frozen old witch and all her evil demon children.

919
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 3: And this scene is actually I think quite atmospheric and spooky.

920
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this is supposed to be one of the

921
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:19,640
Speaker 1: cold hells. Now, there are numerous cold and narakas in Buddhism.

922
00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:22,400
Speaker 1: I've seen it listed that there are total of like

923
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: maybe eight cold hells, and they're defined by the cold

924
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:29,680
Speaker 1: sounds that the inhabitants make and or what sort of

925
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: damage it does to the body. So are your teeth

926
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,480
Speaker 1: chattering at at hat in the cold? Or are you

927
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: going ah ha in pain? Is your body merely covered

928
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: with cold blisters? Are those blisters bursting and then the

929
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,840
Speaker 1: pus freezing over your body? Or are you so cold

930
00:49:46,160 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: that like parts of your flesh have fallen away and

931
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: we can see your internal organs?

932
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's one of those. It seems real

933
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,959
Speaker 3: bad here because the demons are crying out for relief.

934
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,720
Speaker 3: You see the demon children walking up to a mound

935
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:01,840
Speaker 3: and and then this old witch comes up out of

936
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 3: the mound, like she pushes away the earth at the

937
00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,560
Speaker 3: top of it. And the demons are saying or I

938
00:50:06,560 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 3: don't know if they're demons, that maybe they're damned people.

939
00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:09,839
Speaker 1: I don't know.

940
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 3: The people there they're saying, get up, mom, get up, mom,

941
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 3: And they say, Mom, we don't want to stay here.

942
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 3: But the witch says it's destined because we've done evil

943
00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 3: things before. I think that means, like in life, maybe

944
00:50:24,080 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: they did evil things. So they're stuck here in jail.

945
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 3: She says, we're all cursed. We're locked up in jail.

946
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 3: And they say, Grandma, get us out of here. And

947
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:35,080
Speaker 3: then she says, it's impossible. Let's spend our life.

948
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: Like this.

949
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 3: Again. I think maybe something is getting lost in the

950
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:43,680
Speaker 3: subtitles here. But then the King Devil shows up and

951
00:50:43,719 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 3: he's got the sort of Sun with him, and with

952
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 3: the power of the sort of Sun, he turns Hell

953
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:52,799
Speaker 3: into a kind of peach garden. He's like, Okay, now

954
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,680
Speaker 3: Hell isn't cold anymore, y'all can chill out.

955
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, So he's recruiting himself some minions here with the

956
00:50:59,080 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: power of the the sort of the Sun. And yeah, instantly,

957
00:51:04,280 --> 00:51:08,359
Speaker 1: all of these newly won demonic minions take on a

958
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: new air, a new likeness. So the old mom, the

959
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: old witch here is suddenly suddenly has the ziggy stardust Wig.

960
00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: We see Hercules, the big muscly ogre dude. There's some

961
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,000
Speaker 1: other specialized demon troops as well. I think one of

962
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 1: my favorites is the wind guy. He's like this demon

963
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: underling that has a big sack of wind that he

964
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 1: uses in battles either to blow his adversaries away or

965
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:37,120
Speaker 1: to create a really stiff wind that they can't walk into,

966
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 1: kind of comedically.

967
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 3: And the payoff on the wind bag demon is fantastic.

968
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:42,520
Speaker 1: Oh yes.

969
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 3: But so the King Devil has defrosted the demons of Hell,

970
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 3: and the Witch says, thank you, my King Devil, you

971
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,560
Speaker 3: give us new life and interesting, interesting take on the

972
00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:00,680
Speaker 3: harrowing of Hell here, And so the Witch is obviously interested.

973
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 3: She's like, King Devil, what's the sword in your hand?

974
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 3: And the King Devil explains that he's taken it from

975
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,880
Speaker 3: the peach garden, and I think he explains what he

976
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,360
Speaker 3: plans to do with the sword. But most of the

977
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 3: subtitles here are against a white background. So I do

978
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 3: not know what he says his plan is, but it

979
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: seems to me that his plan is to do evil

980
00:52:20,719 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 3: maybe and to rule over the people of the world

981
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 3: and make them miserable.

982
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, not to get too deep on this,

983
00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:31,720
Speaker 1: but in freeing these people from one of the hells,

984
00:52:32,440 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 1: like from the Buddhist perspective, like he's interfering with like

985
00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: the natural order of the universe, because again in Eastern traditions,

986
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:44,280
Speaker 1: the hells and hell realms are more about transforming into

987
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,960
Speaker 1: something better like this is No matter what the subtitles

988
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:50,839
Speaker 1: might say, I think we might infer that these are

989
00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,480
Speaker 1: people who are being processed through this realm and eventually,

990
00:52:54,480 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 1: in another incarnation, will be better for it. So he's

991
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:00,799
Speaker 1: interrupting that, he's and he's breaking out so they can

992
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: continue to be bad in a way that's out of

993
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 1: alignment with the universe.

994
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:07,959
Speaker 3: I think in one of the subtitles they do say, well,

995
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 3: we've got a thousand more years here. Yeah, but yes,

996
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 3: he breaks it breaks it off short. They clearly are

997
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 3: are not redeemed. They have not improved their souls at all,

998
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 3: So there's they still just want to do evil and

999
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 3: they're going to help King Devil in that regard by

1000
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,880
Speaker 3: brutally attacking a village. This is the next thing we

1001
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,799
Speaker 3: see them do, Like the the witch shows up and

1002
00:53:28,840 --> 00:53:31,280
Speaker 3: she says, hmm, I get a thrill as I smell

1003
00:53:31,360 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 3: these people. I want to taste their blood, and she

1004
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,800
Speaker 3: gets all excited, and they just attack all these people

1005
00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:41,200
Speaker 3: in a village. That one part, they're like setting fire

1006
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 3: to houses and beating people down and just slaughtering them.

1007
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 3: And there's one part where I think a demon attacks

1008
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: some kids that are swimming in a lake and their

1009
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,520
Speaker 3: dad is on the on the lake shore and he

1010
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 3: I think he calls them like Bobby and Denny or

1011
00:53:56,000 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 3: something in these subtitles, and then he jumps into the

1012
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 3: water to save them, and then they send like a

1013
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 3: mutant shark after him.

1014
00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they're shark demons, that's right.

1015
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, those will come up again later.

1016
00:54:08,280 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. So they just they burn this city to the

1017
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: ground or this town to the grounds, village. And this

1018
00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: is something this film has in common with Throwing Bloody Sword.

1019
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,800
Speaker 1: Both films have, at least to my terrifying fire effects.

1020
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm just more sensitive to this kind of thing now,

1021
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 1: but I'm like, oh, geez, It's like, like, that's that's

1022
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,840
Speaker 1: not just a magic staff shooting a little bit of flame.

1023
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: I think they're using a flamethrower that looks like cheldy gasoline.

1024
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we do see what seemed to be unsimulated

1025
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 3: footage of like houses burning down, so they burned some

1026
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:39,560
Speaker 3: real huts and stuff for this.

1027
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: So the devil is up to some bad business and

1028
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,279
Speaker 1: it really needs to stop. We need a hero, is

1029
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:55,839
Speaker 1: what we need.

1030
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 3: We need a hero. And what do you know, back

1031
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 3: in the bamboo forest, Peach kids all grown up, super strong.

1032
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,440
Speaker 3: Now he's split in wood with his bare hands. He

1033
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:06,800
Speaker 3: goes and he digs out a well for his parents

1034
00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:07,760
Speaker 3: so they can have water.

1035
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 1: Now at this point, yeah, that the fairy has intervened

1036
00:55:11,200 --> 00:55:15,920
Speaker 1: sped up the development of Peach Kid because the fairies

1037
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:17,719
Speaker 1: like this isn't happening fast enough. We need to hear

1038
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 1: out pronto. And so by this point it is the

1039
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 1: grown actor Peach Baby playing the Peach Kid.

1040
00:55:25,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I think there'd been some earlier scenes where

1041
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 3: they were just like, wow, Peach Kid sure eats a lot,

1042
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 3: but needs to grow up faster.

1043
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the grandma and the grandpa, the old man

1044
00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:38,800
Speaker 1: and the old woman. They couldn't be happier because there's like, oh,

1045
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,080
Speaker 1: our son is so strong he can carry us around.

1046
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 3: Yes, So we see peach kid carrying there. I think

1047
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:49,400
Speaker 3: they work as like, I don't know, loggers in the forest.

1048
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 3: We see peach kid, I think, by himself carrying a

1049
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 3: whole tree that has been feld. But then also just yeah,

1050
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 3: carrying the old man around in the forest, and the

1051
00:55:58,280 --> 00:55:59,160
Speaker 3: old man says.

1052
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: This is my son. Me up, yep, yep, he's very proud,

1053
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 1: very proud.

1054
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 3: Now somewhere in here, the king Devil and the Witch

1055
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 3: attack a castle and kidnap a princess. I recall this

1056
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,560
Speaker 3: going by very fast, but suddenly they've just got a

1057
00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 3: princess captive.

1058
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I forgot about the princess for a

1059
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: while until she becomes important again. So yeah, it comes

1060
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: by it very fast.

1061
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 3: But the witch says, it's your lock to have a

1062
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,200
Speaker 3: chance to marry my son, and princess doesn't want to

1063
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 3: marry her sons, and the witch doesn't like this. She

1064
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 3: cusses the princess out and she says, you're indulging in

1065
00:56:34,280 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 3: fault finding on my good sons. And then the sons

1066
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:42,320
Speaker 3: say mom, I want the princess. But anyway, the fact

1067
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 3: that the King Devil has kidnapped the princess leads to

1068
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 3: the organization of a gigantic rescue effort. So they're like

1069
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,920
Speaker 3: these armies as symbol they're going to go to Devil

1070
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:56,160
Speaker 3: Island to get the princess back. And who's in charge

1071
00:56:56,200 --> 00:56:58,840
Speaker 3: of this rescue plan but Night Melon himself.

1072
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. There are a couple of other kind of military

1073
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:05,600
Speaker 1: individuals who there's one one guy that is referred to

1074
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:10,560
Speaker 1: as Bowie and the subtitles for a smug priest, the

1075
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:11,360
Speaker 1: Dallas Priest.

1076
00:57:12,920 --> 00:57:15,440
Speaker 3: He's very yeah, he's very like full of himself. When

1077
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 3: he shows up, he's like, I will defeat you know,

1078
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:20,000
Speaker 3: I will go with you. We will defeat the King Devil,

1079
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 3: and Knight Mellan taunts him by saying, like, what, You're

1080
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 3: going to defeat him by praying at him.

1081
00:57:26,040 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, he's very cowardly in this too. The first

1082
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 1: peeing scene comes about though, because our hero, the peach

1083
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 1: Kid shows up and it's like I'm strong, I'm ready

1084
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 1: to help. There's also a lot of back and forth

1085
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: where the father, the old man, is like, I will

1086
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: go to war. You shouldn't have to go to war

1087
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: and fight the Tavil. But then they realize the old

1088
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: man is too old. He can't do it. It's got

1089
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: to be peach Kid, so tears in their eyes. Peach

1090
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,360
Speaker 1: Kid goes off to join the army. But then the

1091
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: aren't The generals in the army are like, you're too young,

1092
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: you can't do this, And then the three Guardian animals

1093
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,680
Speaker 1: show up in there, like how can they bully our master?

1094
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 1: Like that, let's go pee in their drinks. And so

1095
00:58:04,040 --> 00:58:06,680
Speaker 1: that's right. The monkey and the dog go and pee

1096
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 1: in their drinks that are set out without anybody, you know,

1097
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: looking out for them. And then they show up and

1098
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,600
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, let's have our alcohol now, And so

1099
00:58:14,680 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: they start drinking their drinks that now have animal urine

1100
00:58:17,840 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: in them, and they start making comedic gross faces about

1101
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: how weird it tastes.

1102
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 3: I think they have to run a night Melon and

1103
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 3: Priest Bowie have to run behind a curtain to vomit.

1104
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, a good time is had by all, Oh.

1105
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: But Peach Kid eventually, so yeah, we assemble the characters.

1106
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,840
Speaker 3: So you've got night Melon and Priest Bowie and the

1107
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 3: armies and then Peach Kid eventually proves his worth by

1108
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 3: wrestling a bull I think, is that right?

1109
00:58:44,240 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, like slams it.

1110
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, slams a bull down. And then also Peach Kid

1111
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,400
Speaker 3: is joined by the three animal guardians from the Peach

1112
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 3: Shrine on the mountaintop. So they're allied with Peach Kid. Now,

1113
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:59,320
Speaker 3: I think maybe were they recruited by the fairy?

1114
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: I think so, yeah, yeah, because they were a part

1115
00:59:02,040 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: of the original guardian crew for the Peach Baby, so yeah, yeah,

1116
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 1: they're loyal. And they also eventually tell Peach Kid what's up, like,

1117
00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 1: tells Peach Kid about Peach Kid's birth parents and so forth.

1118
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:16,160
Speaker 3: Right, so they pee in the food and all that.

1119
00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 3: But eventually Peach Kid is accepted into the Night Melon's

1120
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 3: retinue here and they're going to go attack the Devil

1121
00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 3: Island together, but unfortunately Night Melon's forces are decimated by

1122
00:59:29,080 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 3: a vicious witch attack on the army encampment that involves

1123
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 3: an attempted seduction of Night Melon the destruction of his forces. Rob,

1124
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 3: do you're going to describe this in some more detail?

1125
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:42,040
Speaker 3: What all goes down here?

1126
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 1: Oh? I mean, it's a frenzied action sequence with also

1127
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: that seductive sequence of where the Witch shows up pretendis

1128
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:50,720
Speaker 1: to be the princess. Night Melon's like, oh, I will

1129
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: kiss you, and then she transforms into the Witch before

1130
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 1: he can kiss her, and hilarity ensues. But then yeah,

1131
00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: the demon force attacks and yeah, it's a great action sequence.

1132
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,720
Speaker 1: Stuff flaming in the night. We get to see the

1133
01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: wind Demon and yeah, I think one of my favorite

1134
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,880
Speaker 1: mini battles in the whole picture is Peach Kid versus

1135
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: Wind Demon. And we see this first tussle between these

1136
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:18,439
Speaker 1: two in this sequence, and win Demon kind of gets

1137
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 1: the better of Peach Kid.

1138
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:23,280
Speaker 3: By blowing the wind out of the bag through a pipe, right.

1139
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and we realize, like this isn't over. These two

1140
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 1: have a scored a settle later on.

1141
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 3: So night Melon survives this attack. I think, does Priest

1142
01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 3: Boe just run away?

1143
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I think he does. He's like, I better pretend to

1144
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: be dead so I can survive, and then he does

1145
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,400
Speaker 1: that and then he kind of crawls away.

1146
01:00:38,760 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1147
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: So the forces that are going to oppose the Devil

1148
01:00:41,960 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 1: King are decimated, but our key heroes survive. And at

1149
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 1: this point it becomes clear that this this effort is

1150
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: not going to succeed as a as a pure military

1151
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:55,120
Speaker 1: venture with siege equipment like it originally was headed. No,

1152
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:56,959
Speaker 1: this is going to be have to be a hero

1153
01:00:57,160 --> 01:01:01,800
Speaker 1: squad oriented action. We're gonna have to send our heroes

1154
01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 1: in to the inner sanctum of the Devil King and

1155
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: stop him.

1156
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 3: That's right. So for the final for the Final showdown,

1157
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 3: peach Kid, Night Melon and the three Animal Guardians mountain

1158
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 3: assault on Devil Island. And I don't know we can

1159
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,560
Speaker 3: talk about the various elements of this, but I will

1160
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 3: just say the final battle is a religious experience. It

1161
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 3: will open eyes you did not know you had.

1162
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:26,959
Speaker 1: Oh Man so much. There's so much to talk about

1163
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: in it. Just for starters, since I mentioned the first

1164
01:01:29,800 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 1: part of it already, we get the second half of

1165
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: the battle of peach Kid versus the Wind Demon. And

1166
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: in this one, like peach Kid has learned the tricks

1167
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 1: and like the language, like the physical language of the

1168
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:46,600
Speaker 1: fight sequence is so great. And eventually peach Kid gets

1169
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,080
Speaker 1: the upper hand and they do this bit where they

1170
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: both have this tube and they're blowing into the tube

1171
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 1: and peach Kid can blow harder and stronger at this

1172
01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:59,120
Speaker 1: point than win Demon, and she makes the Wind Demon's

1173
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 1: head explode scanners style, and we get a freeze frame

1174
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 1: of like head chunks and gore exploding from this creature's head.

1175
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 3: Peach Kid as Michael Ironside as Darryl Revick, Yes.

1176
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely wonderful. Like if the movie had ended at

1177
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 1: that point, I would have been like, fine, that's great,

1178
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:19,600
Speaker 1: I can go home happy. Oh.

1179
01:02:19,640 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 3: Also, before the fight starts to get a return of

1180
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,200
Speaker 3: the mutant sharks.

1181
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:26,680
Speaker 1: Yep, there's a brutal fight with them in which was

1182
01:02:26,720 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 1: one of the sharks has the shark mutants has their

1183
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: fins sliced off by peach Kid, and then after the battle,

1184
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: they're like, hey, where'd Melon go? And then Melon comes

1185
01:02:37,080 --> 01:02:40,080
Speaker 1: swimming up with like a bunch of shark fins from

1186
01:02:40,080 --> 01:02:42,760
Speaker 1: the shark demons, and he's like, these are nutritious. I'm

1187
01:02:42,800 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 1: going to eat them. So we get a shark fin

1188
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 1: soup joke in there, which you know, I wasn't crazy about, though,

1189
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: I guess we have to keep in mind this was

1190
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: the eighties, and I think the messaging against the you know,

1191
01:02:55,800 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 1: the ecologically harmful and ethically problematic practice of shark finning,

1192
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: it didn't really come until like two thousand and five

1193
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 1: or so, and so yeah, and then also, I guess

1194
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: it's better in that at least it's played up as

1195
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 1: kind of a dufust move on Melon's part, because they're like,

1196
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: don't eat that Melon, You're gonna poison yourself, and he's like,

1197
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: oh okay.

1198
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:20,040
Speaker 3: Oh yes, because they're demon shark fins, not regular shark fins,

1199
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:21,880
Speaker 3: so yeah, oh, I didn't think of that.

1200
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 1: So anyway, they get him to leave the shark Fins

1201
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 1: and then they keep going into the inner sanctum for

1202
01:03:26,680 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: this big battle yet and then the battle ensues. The

1203
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,720
Speaker 1: action is just sizzling. We get that final encounter between

1204
01:03:35,320 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 1: Peach Kid and the Wind Demon. Meanwhile, we have Melon

1205
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:41,920
Speaker 1: going to rescue the princess. And we mentioned earlier how

1206
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 1: that the Fairy uses love to power him up, and

1207
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: it's also in this sequence where he has to battle Hercules.

1208
01:03:48,840 --> 01:03:52,280
Speaker 3: Hercules, remember the is the demon from hell who's got

1209
01:03:52,360 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 3: big muscles and like a spiked club.

1210
01:03:55,040 --> 01:03:57,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, very much, this kind of onny ogre, kind of

1211
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,640
Speaker 1: a figure brute strength, and it's it's ultimately a really

1212
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:05,360
Speaker 1: fun fight because Melan holds his own his own pretty

1213
01:04:05,400 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: well against Hercules, but he's he's just not getting it done.

1214
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:12,480
Speaker 1: But after the love sinks in and takes effect. He's

1215
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 1: able to just kind of like casually kill Hercules like

1216
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: he's walking away with his princess, and then he kind

1217
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of like flicks a spear with his foot back behind

1218
01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 1: him and impales Hercules through the heart. Is beautiful.

1219
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:28,760
Speaker 3: That's the power of love.

1220
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, they could have played it would have fit perfectly.

1221
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 3: But but but we haven't gotten yet to the most

1222
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 3: amazing thing that happens in this film, which is the

1223
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,720
Speaker 3: emergence of mecha Peach.

1224
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: Oh. Yeah, because everybody's at this point trying to I

1225
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: think the Witch gets dispatched. She gets blown up with

1226
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 1: a rocket shot by one of the three animal Guardian kids,

1227
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: and then it so it's just them against the demon King.

1228
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,720
Speaker 1: But the demon King has this magical sword, and it's

1229
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: quickly becoming obvious that the crew cannot take him out.

1230
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: Like he's busting busting out against melon. Melon hits the dirt.

1231
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: The three kids take on hybrid forms, which are hilarious

1232
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 1: because one has long monkey arms, one has like a

1233
01:05:09,800 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: dog claws, and the other one has a single uh

1234
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 1: pheasant wing. And so they jump into battle and these

1235
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 1: these these sort of wild form path of the beast.

1236
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: Uh weapons seem to work well against the demon underlings,

1237
01:05:23,720 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 1: but they are no match for the King. The he's

1238
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 1: punching in with the wing. Yeah, and so it evenings

1239
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,520
Speaker 1: are good for I don't know, but they can't they

1240
01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:37,240
Speaker 1: can't do it. They can't pull it off. And even

1241
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,360
Speaker 1: Peach kid it seems unable to get the upper hand

1242
01:05:40,480 --> 01:05:41,760
Speaker 1: against Demon King.

1243
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:44,800
Speaker 3: So they've got a they've got a power up and

1244
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 3: we get we get a power up here.

1245
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Yes, it's the return of the Holy Peach. Peach comes

1246
01:05:50,080 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 1: flying back in Demon King. What slices the Peach up

1247
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 1: with the sword and the slices become other Peaches.

1248
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 3: I forget exactly how we get the transformation into Meca Peach.

1249
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 3: What is the sequence here?

1250
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Peach shows up, Peach gets sliced by

1251
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:12,040
Speaker 1: the sword, but then the Peach pieces a symbol voltron

1252
01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:16,600
Speaker 1: style into this large kind of like a Peach golum,

1253
01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:21,440
Speaker 1: like a big Peach marionette. Every time Mecha Peach is

1254
01:06:21,480 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: on screen on the screen in this movie, it manages

1255
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:26,600
Speaker 1: to be the weirdest scene ever committed to screen. It's

1256
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: just such a god Bonker's presentation.

1257
01:06:29,560 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 3: I couldn't believe it it's and it looks so weird

1258
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:36,439
Speaker 3: but also so familiar. This is something we were talking

1259
01:06:36,480 --> 01:06:39,440
Speaker 3: about before we started. I was like, Mecca Peach feels

1260
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 3: like something I've seen before, even though I know I haven't.

1261
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 3: I think it's just that Mecha Peach in its puppet

1262
01:06:46,440 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 3: form has like some visual similarities to other objects.

1263
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, like I was getting notes of mister Bill, notes

1264
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 1: of a QP doll, and notes of Panic Peete, that

1265
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 1: little squeeze toy with the bulging eyeballs.

1266
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 3: That's really good.

1267
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,320
Speaker 1: But then very much is its own thing as well.

1268
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: And it's it's got a weird energy too, because it

1269
01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 1: laughs with a Donald Duck laugh or something very much

1270
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,040
Speaker 1: like a Donald Duck laugh, going.

1271
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,640
Speaker 3: Like so like the King Devil tries to rush it,

1272
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 3: but Mecha Peach blows a bunch of I don't know,

1273
01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:21,640
Speaker 3: the fog in his face and knocks him back. And

1274
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 3: then Mecha Peach peas on him.

1275
01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, peas right in the Devil King's face, and he

1276
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 1: makes a he makes a weird face about it, and

1277
01:07:31,320 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 1: the subtitle say tiss off and that. But the Devil

1278
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: King's not gonna, not gonna stop. He comes in again

1279
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: with the sword. This time, there's some like back and

1280
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 1: forth with the sword, and then the mecha Peach like

1281
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:47,560
Speaker 1: bites the sword out of his hand and seems to

1282
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: swallow the sword, and then we get this awesome moment

1283
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: so that there's like, I think the first thing that

1284
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,440
Speaker 1: happens is Mecha Peach just like knocks the Devil King

1285
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: away and like slams him through a pillar, which is

1286
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: a pretty spectacular looking stunt on its own right. And

1287
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 1: then he gets up. He's standing in front of his

1288
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:10,640
Speaker 1: devil throne and Mecha Peach opens its mouth. Out of

1289
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: his mouth comes flying Peach Kid with the Sword of

1290
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 1: the Sun in hand, and Peach Kid violently skewers the

1291
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:21,680
Speaker 1: Devil King like through his torso and stewers him to

1292
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,960
Speaker 1: the throne in just an absolutely quality kill.

1293
01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 3: Magnificent. I don't know what else we could say.

1294
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Just great. Like the only really way to close things

1295
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: out at that point is to have a jumping freeze

1296
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:37,840
Speaker 1: frame ending, which they do.

1297
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 3: They do, Yeah, and the credits are all and we

1298
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 3: get the song again.

1299
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 1: Yes, oh my god, and it's just so yeah, so

1300
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,400
Speaker 1: delightful to end on that note. Where here are heroes,

1301
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:53,719
Speaker 1: here's the Peach monstrosity still standing behind them, which again,

1302
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:58,960
Speaker 1: is this this perfect balance of like awkward, weird. I

1303
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 1: guess it was a marion that like a large marionette

1304
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:07,400
Speaker 1: that they used like cranes or scaffolding to create Like

1305
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 1: this was not a it's not stop motion, it's not

1306
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:14,080
Speaker 1: you know, certainly not CGI. So it has a It

1307
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 1: looks kind of bad as you might expect, but also wonderful,

1308
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,360
Speaker 1: and it definitely has a physical reality that you can

1309
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:21,200
Speaker 1: get behind.

1310
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 3: Naughty angels dance on the roof once again. Yes, okay,

1311
01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 3: do you have anything else or should we wrap it

1312
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:27,599
Speaker 3: up there?

1313
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:29,960
Speaker 1: Oh? We should probably wrap it up there. But there's

1314
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many little details in this movie.

1315
01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: It's like, I say, you can watch the two minute cut,

1316
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 1: but you won't. You certainly won't get everything. And then

1317
01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: once you watch it, you may have to go back

1318
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,960
Speaker 1: through it and watch it again to appreciate all of

1319
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,639
Speaker 1: the stuff that they just pack into this This.

1320
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:48,800
Speaker 3: Picture, Child of Peach truly a monumental achievement. I've never

1321
01:09:48,840 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 3: seen anything quite like it.

1322
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:53,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, a lot of fun. So you know, maybe

1323
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,640
Speaker 1: it's not the most Saint Patti's Day of movies. We

1324
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: could have picked, but a lot of fun. And you know, i'
