We're here for Ninja Swords of Death for title alone. Otherwise uncertain wait to expect from today's #KungFuSat https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/447806 Definitely grateful for dubbing so I can follow whatever plot there is while I work on lunch.

Been here for Duel of Gold, today's #KungFuSat but eating lunch and reading subtitles. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/66019 This one is as advertised on the tin which is more than fine by me.

I'm here for today's #KungFuSat, The Bride from Hell. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/187380-the-bride-from-hell I am hoping for zany shenanigans and fantastic set pieces. I'll take schlocky silliness if the is all it has to offer.

Settling in with lunch and #KungFuSat. This week is an old school one, The Condemned. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/199296 So far, just enough plot to move to the next set piece. And some funky beats.

Settling in with today's #KungFuSat, The Martial Arts Kid after making and eat lunch. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/316822-the-martial-arts-kid About as expected but with a cast of old martial artist favorites.

I am here for tonight's #Monsterdon, The Bat. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/35813 Always interested in anything with Vincent Price. Bonus Agnes Moorehead, a few years before she portrayed Endora. This seems pretty similar in structure and tone to last week's movie. Would have loved a Last Drive-in Episode for this one.

Settling in for #KungFuSat and always up for a documentary. This time Films of Fury. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/129175-films-of-fury-the-kung-fu-movie-movie Not sure about the format but trying to give it the benefit.

Winding down late with yet another watch party. This week's #Monsterdon is a real stinker, Sting of Death. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/85233-sting-of-death The music is especially bad, especially when the kids are dancing to it. That last one, I wanted to dig my own ear drums out.

We missed last night's watch party but are here for #KungFuSat. Today's pick is Unleashed, aka Danny the Dog. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/10027 I haven't seen this one and am always here for a Jet Li movie. Bonus: Bob Hoskins and Morgan Freeman.

Joining #KungFuSat for today's movie, The Mysterious Inn. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/1407741 Or Cold Rain Sword apparently?

We're here for #KungFuSat, Buddhist Fists and Tiger Claws. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/568638 I know we used the right link but TMDB doesn't mention Godfrey Ho. Thought we had the metadata for the wrong movie but seems not. Doesn't make the plot make any more sense. This is the way.

We missed lat night's watch party because of a family gathering. We are here for today's #KungFuSat, The King of the Kickboxers. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/68895-the-king-of-the-kickboxers This is a different kind of bad. Has a sort of earnestness.

We skipped last night's watch party for a date night but are here for The Eight Masters, this week's #KungFuSat. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/90546 Eager to see Carter Huang and the synopsis appears suitably ridiculous. @kamikat@dmv.community wants to see implausible weaponry. I agree that would be a fun bonus.

Ten billions units? Surely they are not *all* units. At least some are certainly tools. #Monsterdon

#today will unfold however it must. A good week of determination and accomplishment. Weekend brain is very welcome, aided by an empty $dayjob agenda. Another sunny day, would go out for another run if I hadn't done so yesterday. Tomorrow if the weather holds. Looking forward to a day of coding and flow before starting my weekend. I'll get out into the sun and read as much as my day allows. I have a few hundred more words for the fiction I'm currently working on, may wrap that up...

I have seen Hawk the Slayer, tonight's #Monsterdon, many times. I even re-watched once recently, first time since I was a kid. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/25628 I was surprised at how well it held up. I doubt I will stay up for much of it tonight, it is a late start local time. Tickled that it was selected.

Joining #KungFuSat a little late. From what I've seen so far of Shaolin Intruders, seems like the usual Shaw Brothers fare, i.e. random but fun. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/60568

I am intrigued from the start with The Chinese Mack, today's #KungFuSat, starting with the introductory voiceover. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/479158 Is this going to be a kung fu life instructional film?

Yet another #Monsterdon I've never heard of, Zarkorr! The Invader. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/106070 Unlikely to stay up for all of this one but I am curious enough to check out at least a little.

I am here for #KungFuSat and enjoying Have Sword, Will Travel so far. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/90022 Not posting much, working on some LEGO to relax after a rough week.

Never even heard of In the Year 2889, tonight's #Monsterdon. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/74837-in-the-year-2889 In theory, this could be fun. Sixties sci-fi, directed by a self proclaimed shlockmeister. In practice, I am already confused. Seems like we just kind of jumped in mid-story with these people.

So far Heaven and Hell is my favorite kind of #KungFuSat complete with minimal and/or nonsensical plot, outlandish costuming, ridiculous dialogue, and great, old school set pieces. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/95990

I'm not sure if I've seen tonight's #Monsterdon, Class of 1999. Certainly seen similar, schlocky movies in the vein and vaguely high school themed. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/23535 If I have seen this one, I am sure it would have been with appropriate comedic soundtrack or additional commentary.

Joining #Monsterdon a bit late. Never even heard of Seedpeople. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/92779 Seems about par for the course for schlocky early nineties scifi/horror.

I definitely haven't seen today's #KungFuSat, The Kid with the Golden Arm. Title sounds like an 80s Disney movie but so far, appears to be all Shaw Brothers goodness. https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/13513 Just enough plot to connect the set pieces. And all the Venoms apparently.
