Visuals
* Master of the Flying Guillotine (1975): The titular weapon inspired the mace-like contraption that Go Go uses to get medieval on Uma's ass.
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Directed by Steve Oedekerk
influenced by Master of the Flying Guillotine (1976)
Made with Jimmy Wang Yu's cooperation (fans will know Jimmy as the director/star of the classic “Master of the Flying Guillotine” and such early Jackie Chan vehicles as “The Killer Meteors” and “Fantasy Mission Force”), “Kung Pow” is very much an affectionate spoof, an homage that pokes fun while confessing fondness--not necessarily a recipe for great comedy, but an approach which the film's small but specific target audience is sure to appreciate.
