"Rumble In The Bronx" (1995)
A man travels from Hong Kong to New York to attend his uncle's wedding, and winds up tangling with a vicious street gang and some diamond smugglers. Many butts get kicked.
"Rumble" was Asian action hero Jackie Chan's long overdue breakthrough film in the U.S. It's essentially a live action cartoon, but Jackie's acrobatic stunt work and martial arts movies are, as always, amazing to watch.

Zeta One (1970)

Having seen the review in the Bad Movies section, I had to check this out. It is an absolute hoot. A contemporary review called it "a light skit on special agents and science fiction that should please the undemanding"

It is as silly as it is delightful. The main villain is James Roberson Justice (perhaps best known as Lancelot Spratt in the Doctor series), with Charles Hawtrey of Carry On fame as his right hand man. He is operating from a Scottish mansion, so his henchmen are in tweed and deerstalkers. He has some never specified nefarious designs on a group of high tech amazons in a parallel dimension. These maintain their population by abducting and brainwashing girls. In the middle there is the nominal hero who is a perfectly useless spy.
This is very much a filmed version of a sexy newspaper comic of the time, with things happening mainly for the silliness of it. Those looking for titillation may be disappointed. Though there is a lot of nudity, it tends to be brief and incidental. There are no actual sex scenes, for instance.
It does have some amazing trivia. Robin Hawdon (who plays 'James Word') was apparently considered as a back up for Roger Moore as James Bond. While he doesn't have a lot of screen presence, he can smirk with the best of them. Also Anna Gaƫl, one of the amazons sent to thwart his efforts, later married the son of the 6th Marquess of Bath and in due course became Marchioness of Bath.
For the car enthousiasts, James Word drives a Monteverdi.

"Under My Umbrella" by Miss Grit




"Ernie Kovacs' Record Collection". Turns out I already had a bunch of these (Ernie & I have the same taste), including Leona Carrington's absolute banger "Rats in My Room," originally from "Music to Suffer By."
