Ready or Not 2: Here I Come

Thursday, October 8th, 2026

The unanswerable question: is it called READY OR NOT: HERE I COME, or READY OR NOT 2: HERE I COME? Depends if you ask the opening credits or the closing credits. I guess we get to pick.

Would you believe there was a seven year gap between this sequel and the first READY OR NOT? I was surprised it had been that long. But I suppose directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett have since made SCREAM, SCREAM VI and ABIGAIL*, so the math does add up. The fact that I found all of those to be perfectly fine, not great, may have contributed to me not getting around to this one in theaters (even though I did get to the in-some-ways-similar THEY WILL KILL YOU). But it’s also why seeing it now I’m surprised at what a solid and enjoyable sequel it is. (read the rest of this shit…)

Millionaires’ Express

Tuesday, December 8th, 2020

THE MILLIONAIRES’ EXPRESS (also called SHANGHAI EXPRESS, originally 富貴列車, or FORTUNE TRAIN according to Google Translate) is a 1986 Sammo Hung directing and starring joint all-star period comedy.

In the tradition of LICENCE TO KILL it opens with a fight in snowy Russia, as Sammo’s character Ching Fong-Tin is caught trying to steal from Russian soldiers and they force him to wear women’s underwear and do a sexy dance for them. He kind of pulls a Bugs Bunny, leaning into it, and manages to escape with an impressive window leap while the cabin explodes, but is then captured by a mountain-trapper-looking CIA agent called Fook Loi (Kenny Bee, THE SPOOKY BUNCH), so there’s more fighting. They end up rolling down the hill and making giant snowballs. (read the rest of this shit…)
