COREY YUEN BECOMES ANDY SIDARIS
Corey Yuen's latest movie, DOA: DEAD OR ALIVE, has its official site up, complete with a trailer (and more trailers are here) and judging by what I've seen this movie looks bad enough to be good.
- Devon Aoki (daughter of Rocky Aoki, who brought Benihana's to the world) in the cast
- Eric Roberts and Robin Shou in the cast
- five girls with samurai swords (the Asian, the Cowgirl, the ninja, the All-American girl, and the Cameron Diaz)
- a fight on a yacht
- a bra kung fu scene
- scenes set in the Build-Your-Own-Asian-Movie funpak: bamboo forest, ancient temple, wide staircase lined with fluttering banners.
Has Corey Yuen turned into Andy Sidaris? And, more importantly, can he turn back?

Anything with Robin Shou in it will be fantastic.

From appearances, it looks like this is based on the video game. Considering how semi-campy the video game is, I think it's legit to play it out like this.
