The Saturday Afternoon Movie: Chinese Popeye

6 Apr

April 6, 2013

cpop

Saturday is usually the province of Saturday Comics or its occasional step-brother, The Treasure Chest of Terrible Toys. But this is Popeye Week! And Mr. Blog, like Popeye, will not be bound any mere arbitrary rules, even if they are his own arbitrary rules. Especially if they are his own arbitrary rules.

This has popped (Popeyed?) up all around the internet lately but I can only find this short clip. No one seems to have any more. So what is Chinese Popeye about? It is a chinese film about Popeye (duh) and in this clip, he fights mummies.

Yes, I said mummies. So sit back, relax, and prepare yourself for Chinese Popeye. (I’m sure there is a real name for this but everyone just seems to call it Chinese Popeye, and frankly no matter what it is really called, I’m sticking with chinese Popeye.)

If this was out on DVD I would buy it. Probably for no more than $5 from the bootleg peddler on the street, but I’d still buy it.

Treasure Chest of Terrible Toys: Japanese Knock-Off Toys

March 30, 2013

This one went over very well in 2011, and it is still one of my favorite posts. Where else can you see Shrek joining the Justice League? Spider-Man taking a day off to go fishing? And more badly painted Batmen than you can shake a stick at. And Darth Vader riding a motorcycle? This one has it all.
