In this episode of WE DO OUR OWN STUNTS we follow Asian Hawk — a fortune-hunting ex-pop star turned treasure seeker — who is forced into a globe-trotting mission to rescue a former bandmate’s kidnapped girlfriend in the 1986 Indiana Jones-esque action classic ARMOR OF GOD! Jackie fights, falls and (notably) cracks his skull open trying to attain the titular armor while fighting off cult members and amazons. We go over the history, the fallout, and the different edits of the film while also discussing the latest Jackie Chan news. ENJOY!

It’s the 300th(!!!!) episode of Cinema Smorgasbord! Now, normally we would do a big, special celebratory episode, but.. uh.. I forgot it was coming up so instead we’re back with those pervy Lucky Stars goofballs as they travel to Thailand for some trademark misadventures/sexual harassment. Thankfully these sequences are intercut with some of the most incredible action sequences of the era featuring (naturally) Jackie Chan and Yuen Biao (and also Andy Lau, Richard Norton, Lau Kar-wing, Dick Wei, Philip Ko, and Yasuaki Kurata!). Michelle Yeoh even pops up briefly. It’s a tale of two movies in 1985’s TWINKLE TWINKLE, LUCKY STARS. Enjoy!
