An amazing movie I watched and re-watched as a youngling, and then forgot about for a couple decades; I re-discovered it several years ago (on laserdisc--still no U.S. DVD release) and it turned out to be a fantastically entertaining Bad Movie, full of great lines and performances. It deserves to be referenced in new movies--the only one I can think of is in Pineapple Express a Chinese gangster uses the phrase "no retreat, no surrender!" as a battle cry [and rightly so]. I yelped out loud in the theater when I heard that. I've seen The Musketeer on cable years ago; all I remember is the obvious Chinese stunt/fight double(s), wearing whiteface and a red wig. Your musings encourage me to see it again. Thanks for the column! -tinyskwa Any mention of No Retreat, No Surrender must be acknowledged!
