Mortal Kombat (2021)

The Last Dragon

"When you got the Glow, you fear no one." Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's episode, I sit down to review the listener suggested Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon starring Taimak and Vanity. The Last Dragon is a beloved cult classic serving both as a post-Blackploitation film and the end of the Bruceploitation era. It has more storylines then I can count, an obviously great soundtrack, and the coolest villain era to be in a movie.

Double Dragon

"There's a reason why it's called martial arts and not martial science." Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. Today, we are Going to the Arcade once more to deposit our quarters into the Grandfather of the Beat 'em Up style of games, Double Dragon. This family friendly and star studded film is often overlooked for continuity issues, corny dialogue, and directionless decisions by the production team. But is Double Dragon really that bad?

Never too Young to Die

"Look, I'm not that bad. Really. I don't know why I do the things I do. I guess it's because... I love it!" Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's review, I sit down to cover what may be the most B film ever to come out, Never too Young To Die starring John Stamos, Vanity, and Gene Simmons. This is a must see to believe film. Just a year away from the debute of Full House, John Stamos stars as a teen spy trying to figure out who killed his dad and stop a hostage situation at the hands of Gene Simmons. It's a sexy, dated, and goofy adventure that will leave you laughing and cringing.

Bloodsport

"Anytime, anyplace, anywhere, if you need me, I'll be there." Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's episode, in honor of the passing of Donald Gibb, I am here to review Bloodsport. Bloodsport is a classic martial art film that recaptured the attention of the American audience, introduced the world to Jean Claude Van Damme, and inspired countless people into the martial arts. In this review, I look at the cultural impact Bloodsport had, walk through the general plot of the movie, and finish off with a little discussion on the real life Frank Dux.

The Butter Battle Book by Dr. Seuss

Welcome to my dojo, this is Kung Fu Pizza Party. In today's episode, I sit down to discuss an often overlooked part of the Dr. Seuss pantheon, The Butter Battle Book. I discuss briefly the impact Dr. Seuss has had on children's literature, review the contents of the story of The Butter Battle Book, and even relate the message of the book to a topic we've been discussing on the show this year.
