ah...yes. infinity pool. seems like a combo of “society” and... “the brave”?? i think i liked that movie actually... in spite of it being shat upon by every critic on the planet. *shrug*

ahahahahahaha... the long lost Johnny Depp the brave? I couldn't get through it. Never had a decent print to watch, just lousy youtube links. Love the premise. I'm sure in an alternate reality Amber wishes Johnny went through with it. Speaking of weirdo flicks on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@whiteslavesofchinatown3d167

wow. there’s an absolute embarrassment of riches (i use the term rather loosely) on whites slaves of china. zany, gamut-running, schlocky goodness.

was a bit disappointed that their king fu section is tiny. i had been trying to track down this sammo hung flick from the 70s called “legend of filthy guy” for years, but gave up. (saw it once at university, but never forgot it.) hung stars as this dude with some sort of nasty, dandruff-y sore-encrusted head which somehow possesses stinky/magic/kung fu properties. you read that correctly. it’s actually super entertaining. and now i see that someone else has posted it on youtube. oh lucky day.

Sammo is a legend in and of himself. A man mountain who can move like a cat.

You'll appreciate this... someone compiled the Jonathan Ross' series Incredibly Strange Film Show episodes: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9GUMSCO9oF72VC99qAbh5MJfTxIDka3X

i love how ray dennis steckler et al tried to turn arch hall jr. into the next teen heartthrob, even though he wasn’t exactly a looker, couldn’t sing or act to save his life. huge fan of Eegah! arch hall jr throng his best to be elvis, but looking like a sunburnt ham.
