Passing Flickers
(1982)
The main characters - the arrogant, harassed director, the sexy starlet, or naïve actors are familiar enough stereotypes. Along the way however, there is some fun to be had as more humorous incidents occur on the sound stage, together with dashes of nudity. Some of the events are presumably inspired by real life experiences, others have a distinct air of wishful fabrication. The over-the-top Kung Fu star, deserted by director and crew as he goes through his pointless extended routine, for instance. Or the action heroes, sweating in furs while they dutifully munch through their meal scene, 'snow' falling outside in studio land. Passing Flickers featuring Tony Liu and Tai Liang-Chun is not currently available to stream, rent, or buy but you can add it to your want to see list for updates. It's a comedy movie with a better than average IMDb audience rating of 6.7 (56 votes).
