since kill bill from mr tarantino has been released, most people have heard of the movie company shaw brothers.
i love shaw brothers since i was a kid when my uncle showed me the new one armed swordsman, which is still my most favourite movie of all time!
one of the famous directors of this compay was a man called chang cheh.
his movies weren´t the smartest ones with stories like "hi, who are you?" - "i am blabla" - "i am going to fight the red devil gang with their leader red devil master" - "ok, i will help you, let´s be friends". besides that, his movies were highly entertaining and contained massive violence.
masked avengers was one of his later movies, including the last wave of his venom team.
to me, this is a rare movie on which i couldn´t get my hands on for several years, but gladly it was released on dvd.
the movie deals about a gang of thugs who are wearing masks and use tridents as weapons.
this is tricky since everyone tries to find out who belongs to the gang and who is on the good side.
you see, a typical chang cheh movie.
what makes the movie special is, next to all the great fighting and buddy movie stuff, the overall dark atmosphere and the psychodelic look. yes,psychodelic look! i guess everyone is like,oh no , this sounds like boring zen stuff, but you won´t forget the scenes in the enemies headquarters.
after capturing some of the good guys, the avengers put them into statues wich can be opened via swastikas (sic). the gang is not satisfied with standard alkohol or better schnaps for their efforts, so the leader decides to kill the captured men and let their blood flow into the barrel with the alcohol and the party can begin.
stuff like that happens all the time and wait until you see the real headquarter of the bad guys, acid traps, the leader is lifted on a pillar, massages from exotic women, secret switches.
sounds like a good movie? you´re right!

dream stuff part 3
like i promised a looong time ago i will post some more dreams.
ok,i work in something like a h&m shop. after a while i find a videotape with a buddy movie about mercenaries.they got a tank and an apache helicopter and do high fives and stuff like that.somehow i end up in that movie and work also in the shop.that was a good one!
i can´t remember the second one right,but i was in the hometown of my girlfriend.
it was mixed with a town in austria and i had to cross some long roads until i found an old restaurant in the hills.there was a circus wich had alot of animals.one of the animals ,an elephant, attacked me and something like a rhino destroyed some tables and chased away all tourists.
the owner of the the circus told me the names of the animals wich sounded like in my old "Was ist Was" children books about the first mammalians.
