"Peach Boy 2" (1989), also called Magic of Steel, was one of the most wildly successful movies in the late 80s trend in Taiwan and Hong Kong of fantasy movies aimed at children (which also included entries like "Ginseng Boy" and "Magic Crystal").

Peach Boy, a magic child born in a peach who is one part Peter Pan, another part Bart Simpson, a third part Samurai, and a fourth part Superman, discovers a sorcerer is killing a thousand kids to keep his body from decaying, and has to stop him.

Peach Boy was, like Bart Simpson, played by an adult woman who sounded and looked like a boy.

Peach Boy was a huge phenomenon, despite the weirdness and low budget of the whole thing. Many very young Chinese kids remember being shocked when they found out their hero Peach Boy was actually....played by a girl! Hsiao Lao Lin.

Also known as "Magic of Steel," it is one of the few films to have a typo in the opening title.

ive watched marry my dead body with my gf yesterday and idk what did i expect. it was a gay tragedy wrapped in a gay comedy. the ending was the only possible one and was even the happiest one possible in this scenario but i still cried my eyes out. it was a tragedy of miscommunication, betrayal and prejudice wrapped in a blanket of a comedy. it was a good movie and i loved it. i cried for an hour. how dare they

SUBLIME CINEMA #656 - YI YI

I've admired Edward Yang a long time for his haunting film 'The Terrorizers', but Yi Yi is even more refined, and a total masterpiece.

Beautifully rendered by Wei-Han Yang, Yang's cinematographer on the equally great 'Taipei Story'.
