Since the last rankings update, I wrote five more entries in my Summer of Sammo series on Hong Kong genre cinema, about King Hu's genre-defing Come Drink With Me and Dragon Gate Inn, Lau Kar-leung's debut The Spiritual Boxer, Chang Cheh's iconic The One-Armed Swordsman and Chor Yuen's opulent Heroes Shed No Tears. And Episode Three of The George Sanders Show covered Stanley Donen's Charade its remake, The Truth About Charlie, directed by Jonathan Demme. But the big hit post of the week is apparently this thing I wrote about best of the year lists.
