For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, 8PM EST, by popular demand, we will continue the legendary superpowered schoolgirl lesbian anime series Project A-ko, with its fourth installment (1989). Unfortunately, this one has not been remastered yet, as far as I am aware, so we will watch the DVD rip. Nevertheless,Ako continues to rock.

After that is Dirty Ho (1979), a Hong Kong kung-fu comedy about an incognito prince who pretends to be a humble jeweller. Despite his martial-arts skills, he is menaced by a gang of thieves, prompting him to hire the titular Ho as his bodyguard. A whole lot of punching, kicking, and hilarity ensue. Director is Kar-leung, whose films The 38th Chamber of Shaolin (1978) and The 8-Diagram Pole Fighter (1984) we already watched. This is considered one of his best films, so let’s check it out.

Last is Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), one of the best-known teen comedies of the 1980s following the episodic exploits of a group of high-schoolers as they navigate the worlds of drugs, work, romance, and rock ‘n’ roll, with various comic antics along the way. Features Sean Penn in his first leading role. Arguably the earliest big mainstream Hollywood hit directed by a woman, Amy Heckerling, who is otherwise known for Clueless (1995) and Look Who’s Talking (1989). It’s a classic, so we’ll give it a whirl.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:

    Objectification of female characters. -Panty shots of high-school-aged girls.

    Honestly was expecting this was for Dirty Ho. Love Hong Kong action movies, but they generally always contain these two problematic elements lol.
