Retired/recovering academic. Author of Mario Bava: The Artisan as Italian Horror Auteur, British Low Culture, Kung Fu Cult Masters, BFI book on The League of Gentlemen, Cultographies book on Danger: Diabolik.

Thunderbolt is a little overlong - I imagine the shorter Japanese cut might be an improvement - but there are certainly some standout sequences (the pachinko parlour above all). Anita Yuen does wonders with what could easily have been a thankless role. Michael Wong is as dull as ever.

I fear this might be my "How do you do, fellow kids?" moment.

I've seen The Odyssey in IMAX and on 70mm - just not the two of them together.

There is a certain sense of achievement in being added to a mystifying block list.
