Thanks! Although personally I think I'd vote for the fake country from What's Up, Tiger Lily:
HIGH MACHA: I am the Grand Exalted High Macha of Raspur, a nonexistent but real-sounding country...We're on a waiting list. As soon as there's an opening on the map, we're next.
One of my favorites! (reviews, not movies). Honest Trailers actually did this movies about 6 months ago, so i got to put some actual visuals to your prose, which, well I have mixed feelings.
All martial-arts movies are like this, even the good ones, by which I mean the ones I like. You should take a crack at "Wicked" and "Funny Girl." Bad movies offer more than just punches and kicks.
The thrill of gymnastics.
The kill of karate.
Nicely done.

This is amazing! You make me wish Parmistan was a real place!

If there's an opening I would love to be on Raspur's Supreme Court!

Thanks, John. And "mixed feelings" is probably the best review this film ever received.
It made a very fun RiffTrax
Very well done article. Fun and punchy (or would that be lucky?)
I actually meant to say “or would that be kicky”. Stupid autocorrect
I spend WAY more time correcting autocorrect than the other way around. Seems like a design flaw.
So it was...lunchy? (These German compound nouns are so confusing)

Oh I agree. There're a number of different film genres and styles represented in our back issues. Feel free to poke around.
