  • Cool folks cool movies

    Excellent podcast, exposes me to a lot of stuff I've never heard of but also covers things I consider to be old tried and true favorites. I really think you guys should watch Warrior of Love Rainbowman.

  • I was never into podcasts before hearing the Heroes Three. I found them while doing a deep dive into Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest kung fu movies and I couldn't be happier with their work, this is exactly the kind of informative, entertaining and funny content I was looking for! Lots of great information here. Feels like sitting around with friends discussing these great and often obscure movies. I'll keep listening for a long time to come. Thank you guys!

    Nice job on the podcast - glad to see the mixture of style and tone. Research done well and on point with references and opinions. Have to catch up on more episodes but liking what I hear so far. Glad to see more dedicated shows on classic martial arts moves we grew up watching!

  • Well done, check it out!

    As an eclectic appreciator of cinema, especially films outside of the mainstream, I enjoyed listening to the Heroes Three discuss everything that’s amazing about these films (and the artists that made them) with great depth of knowledge and enthusiasm. I also love the occasional small details of video store realness they bring to the show, like back-of-the-VHS-box narrations!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

School of the Holy Beast - Heroes Three Gaiden
Q: How do you interpret the religious imagery and its portrayal within a westernized exploitation framework?
The group discusses that Suzuki uses Catholic imagery to frame a critique of authority and power, while acknowledging the cultural distance and the director's tendency to push boundaries; viewers note the potential for broader religious themes like Buddhism to be a lens as well.
School of the Holy Beast - Heroes Three Gaiden
Q: What is your personal history with the movie and how did it influence your view this time around?
All participants acknowledge rewatching it years later and finding the film more or less keepable, with its visuals and audacious ideas standing out even if the plot remains secondary to the experience.
150 Armour of God
Q: What makes Armour of God fit into the Heroes Three's exploration of Asian cinema and Western blockbusters?
The film blends Indiana Jones-style adventure with Hong Kong stunt artistry, showcasing Jackie Chan's ability to fuse Western action storytelling with local sensibilities and star power, and it serves as a pivot point in his career toward more expansive, global set pieces.
