Is Spartan X a more violent version of Wheels on Meals? Was told it was edited for the US. Have you seen the original?
Spartan X is just the Japanese title for Wheels on Meals. As far as I know, it isn’t anymore violent than the Hong Kong (or US) cut.
The Japanese cut just has additional outtakes/bloopers at the end. Japan did this with a lot of movies.
I mean, I could be wrong…

Closed off the year with my good friends Jackie, Sammo, my most watched actor of 2022 Yuen Biao, Miss Spain 1979 Lola Forner and Benny “The Jet” Urquidez and a rewatch of Wheels on Meals.
And started the new year with Samuel Fuller's Forty Guns. One of my goals this year is to get more women into my most watched directors and actors in my Letterboxd stats (2022 was almost a total sausagefest in both categories), and there is definitely a woman in this movie. Four, in fact, based on the IMDb credits. That's right, 25% of the women in this movie are visible right up there in that screenshot.
As an aside, one of the other women in that movie is Eve Brent, who Wikipedia tells me is best known for playing Jane in Tarzan's Fight for Life, and whose most popular movies on Letterboxd are The Green Mile, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and, uh, Garfield: The Movie. And yes, she wears that visor for most of her screentime.
(Don't believe me? Here's the proof.)
And here are the last four movies I watched in 2022. A Jackie/Sammo/Yuen Biao classic, a Bruceploitation joint, and two pornos. Seems like a fitting end to my viewing history for the year.
Happy new year, folks!

Summer 2022 - Week 8 in Review
Summer 2022 – Week 8 in Review
Hello everyone, and welcome back to Wrong Every Time. Though this article title claims there’s somehow still a third of the summer season to go, it certainly doesn’t feel like summer’s still in full, or even partial swing. Overcast skies and underwhelming temperatures seem determined to get a head start on seasonal affective disorder, but I’m rallying the best I can with a healthy diet of media…

Everybody talks about the final fight with Benny Urquidez but there’s not nearly enough out there about the fact that there’s an exposition scene that completely randomly and unnecessarily takes place on (yes on) the underconstruction Sagrada Familia in Wheels on Meals.
