How it feels

This 1990 comedy takes a 1984 Hong Kong martial arts movie and replaces its original audio with a new English soundtrack. Stand-up comic Tommy Sledge narrates the film as a hard-boiled detective, turning the action into a feature-length farce.

What happens

Movie... In Your Face is a 1990 comedy film, mostly consisting of a redubbed Hong Kong movie. In the style of movies like What's Up, Tiger Lily?, this movie was "produced" by replacing the original sound track of a 1984 Hong Kong movie — Ma hou pao or Crazy Kung Fu Master — with an English language sound track written to make the movie into a feature-length farce. Stand-up comic Tommy Sledge narrates the movie in his usual "hard-boiled detective" persona. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
