meat, madness, & mayhem

This is, without a doubt, one of the stranger movies I've seen lately, but it's actually well done. Therese is a young woman who has a thing for beef, martial arts films & Pastor Dylan (Walter Koenig, looking rather creepy). Or, pretty much any man when Pastor Dylan finally dumps her. She's also a meat inspector & ends up, despite that, with mad cow disease. She's also divorced and has a long list of guys she's slept with that all leave messages on her answering machine. When her mother passes away, she is so lost in her disease and despair that she decides to become the woman she idolizes, The Girl With The Thunderbolt Kick, and go up against the Ten Tigers of Kwan Tang, or something like that, and do watch their names as they appear on your screen, it's hilarious. This strange meld of black comedy, horror, Kung Fu, and who knows what else, is an oddity, but it's also very unlike most modern films because it doesn't stick to any tried and true formula. Apparently filmed in LA but you'll be confused because of various languages spoken, for whatever reason, during the film. 8 out of 10, well worth seeing for those with a sense of adventure.
