Yelling “booty hell” like Master P going “hoody hooo”

A Better Tomorrow II (John Woo)

Produced by Dwarf, Whatever Co & Tecarat.
Completion expected in 2029 (+ new preview at Cannes Film Market next month).

This movie is what I assume most of my mutuals are like irl

If Russ Meyer had made a jidaigeki sometime between Valley of the Dolls and Supervixens, it probably would’ve felt a lot like Tokugawa Sex Ban. One of Suzuki’s best (and funniest).
