Every now and then, martial arts movies go, er, a 'little leftfield', Here are some examples...
There are few feelings I enjoy as much as watching a movie that shakes me out of my complacency, wakes me up from my jaded quasi-slumber and makes me go “I’ve not seen that before!” I watch way too many films and it can take a lot to genuinely shock or surprise me, but there are few genres that manage it as often as martial arts.
Now, I appreciate there’s a lot of base level ‘weirdness’ to the genre if you’re not used to it. There’s curious dubbing, an emphasis on physicality over plotting, some eastern cultural touchpoints that baffle unfamiliar western audiences… but fans get used to all that. I’m talking about something slightly different.
To clarify, it might seem strange to new viewers when...

Midsomer Murders Acorn Media/Rlj Entertainment
Fans all over the world instantly recognize actor John Nettles as the star of the hit ITV drama Midsomer Murders which is available in the U.S. through Acorn Media. However, as a kid growing up in England I also recall John as the face of another TV detective series — Bergerac. I was fortunate enough to catch up with him at the American Public Television Fall Marketplace. I begin by asking him about his time as Jim Bergerac and of course what it was like to drive that iconic car. As soon as I mention the burgundy 1947 Triumph Roadster John begins to laugh.
“That was probably the worst sports car ever built,” he chuckles.
“We filmed Bergerac on Jersey and the whole island is covered in narrow roads surrounded by hedges. It’s difficult enough to drive a normal car out there but that...
