Adam and I review Bastard Swordsman, a wuxia film directed by Tony Liu Chun-Ku. It stars Norman Chu, Lau Wing, Leanne Lau Suet-Wah, Leung Ching-Ching, Alex Man, and Lo Meng. Made in 1983, it is on the more gonzo side of the Shaw Brothers spectrum, similar in some ways to Buddha's Palm or Holy Flame of the Martial World. However it is a little more grounded than other films of its kind.

Tonight we talk about Kuei Chih-Hung’s chilling, and occasionally sexy, horror classic, Hex. It takes elements of the classic Les Diaboliques and weaves them into something new. Sau Ying murders her abusive and deranged husband with the help of her servant, Yi Wah, only to be plagued by visions of his ghost. But there is much more beneath the surface as truths are slowly revealed.
Kuei Chih-Hung's Hex (1980) stars Tanny Tien, Wang Yong, and Chan Sze-Kai. We experience a little technical difficulty toward the end, for which we apologize.
