Move over, James! There's a New Bond in Town

No, I'm not staging a comeback tour. But I was recently roused out of retirement by the Infernal Brains (aka Tars Tarkas and 4DK), who strong-armed me into participating in their podcast about Hong Kong cinema's "Jane Bond" films of the 1960s.

You can find the podcast HERE. Do check out the slideshow version for lots of cool screengrabs from the films we talk about. Or download the mp3 and listen to it on your iPod as you save the world from evil hooded villains.

Since I'm pretty excited about this (mostly because I don't sound as stupid as I feared), I'm going to post some "Jane Bond" goodies here and at Soft Tofu in the coming week.

If you're not yet familiar with these kick-ass films, I hope our enthusiasm will pique your interest!

P.S. The "Jane Bond" at the top of this post is Connie Chan from her 1966 film Spy with My Face.
