Douglas Fairbanks vs Noah Beery in THE MARK OF ZORRO (1920). Fairbanks did most of his own stunts and his brother, Robert, helped innovate ways to make them look even more impressive on the screen. Note the slightly lowered table height.

Some delightful bits of business here and there (a four headed dragon whose heads constantly bicker with one another, a robot poet who gets drunk with a skeevy Bohemian). But far from inspiring me to develop a work effort, THE KEY's dreary didacticism left me wanting to lie on the couch and be lazy.

One of the most preposterous and weirdly compelling movies I've ever seen. The poster doesn't say it all, but it says a lot.

Okay, optimal HK movie experience, this did not play. Instead we got what I now realize is Raymond Lee's 1996 movie, To Be No. 1 😀 Still, new to me and peak Simon Yam so no complaints. But I do still want to see the Wai on a print.

I watched AND SO WE PUT GOLDFISH IN THE POOL. (2017). A short film by the director of WE ARE LITTLE ZOMBIES, which I loved and I loved this too. It's the story of four teenage girls who live in a boring town, seem the go about their daily routine and put goldfish in a pool.
