WU-TANG! WU-TANG! WU-TANG!
…isn’t mentioned in this film at all.
But there are a lot of musical samples from it on “Wu-Tang: Enter the 36 Chambers”!
Funny how life works, isn’t it? Cash (might) rule everything around me, C.R.E.A.M. get the money, what does Day 11 bring?!

Remember River City Ransom for the NES? This movie is nothing like that. I just thought you should know.

Who cares about Day 5 when there’s Day 6? Personally, I don’t care since Day 5 is over with and Day 6 is here… you can’t worry about the past in Day 5, because Day 6 is the present. Day 6 is today- Day 5? Yesterday.
Welcome to Day 6.
If you missed Day 5, make like a tomato and KETCHUP.

Did you know that you can get into a fight in Heaven, get sent down to Earth, get killed and go to Hell, and beat the shit out of lots of people in the process?
I didn’t… until tonight!

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a monk, a pig, The Monkey King, and a friar are all off on an adventure. The monk gets kidnapped by a cave full of spider women, so it’s up to his friends to save him.
Awesome, right?
Did I mention that this was a kids’ movie?
No?
Okay, did I mention that this was also part musical… in Mandarin no less?
No?
Well, yeah. This month is bringing the pain early.

Before we begin this month, a note: it’s fun to do stuff like this on purpose. Not only do I get to wade through a fraction of my DVD collection, but I also get to report my findings to the masses. How cool is that?! It’s so cool, I went into your room and read your diary in order to find out how cool you thought it was. How do we kick things off this time? With a two hour epic, of course. Oh boy!
