Return to the 36th
Chamber (1980) The sequel to The 36th
Chamber of Shaolin wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but in this case,
it’s a good thing. Instead of continuing the story of San Te and his goal to bring
the art of Shaolin Kung Fu to the common folk, the story follows Chao Jen-Ch read more

Our pic today takes a long-overdue look at Flight to Hong Kong (1956), the low-budget international diamond-smuggling caper directed by Joseph M. Newman.

And out of that binder full of Timothy comes our pic of the day! It’s another bizarre promotional still for Flight to Hong Kong (1956), with another shot that isn’t actually in the movie. Along with this one, I’m sure these stills were basically used as models for poster artwork. read more

I know I’ve already posted a pic from this one, but I recently got ahold of this publicity still from the film, and it’s too weird not to post. Tim is barely visible as one of the gang beating up a shirtless Rory Calhoun. The fellow in front is Bob Hopkins, whom I always think of as res read more
