Everybody was Kung Fu / Karate fighting !

Finally I get to write about one of my favorite subjects - martial arts in comics and movies - and if the blog header alone is not enough of an indication how much I love THE HANDS OF SHANG - CHI, MASTER OF KUNG FU then the many posts I wrote on the subject should give you an idea.


For those who came in late and missed out on all the kung furying / karate chopping martial arts action I wrote two posts about the series in general and did five spotlights : one for each of the books artists, Paul Gulacy , Gene Day and Mike Zeck , a special post on Gil Kane who provided a lot of the early covers and one for all the other artists who worked on this great series . I have been pimping the book like crazy and I like to think that I had a small part in convincing Disney to finally reprint this seminal series, not only in four hefty omnibus but also in two Epic Collections of which the last one just came out. As usual we start with a celebrity birthday :

On July the 8th Jaden Smith, son of Hollywood star Will Smith celebrated his 21st birthday and I´m sure with all the good things in his life he still curses because he was still a minor when he starred in the remake of The Karate Kid alongside african - american aphrodite MILF Taraji P Henson .


You can say what you want about the effectiveness of PETA - as long as their ad campaigns manage to convince sexbombs like Taraji to show off her 38C - 28 - 37 measurements I´m okay with that. Can you believe she was already 45 years old when she posed naked for this picture ? Daimn !


I first became aware of Taraji on Person of Interest and she´s currently on the hit show Empire which means that I will have to check that out as soon as the series is at an affordable price or amazon has one of their sales. Besides the PETA ad Taraji has posed nude for a recent issue of Allure and you can see her naked in the 2001 gangster flick Baby Boy.


Black is beautiful, but Taraji P. Henson is so hot we need to come up with a better word to describe her incredible booty - liciousness. Something like boobiful, fantASStic, ASSentially stunning, blackxiting or blacktacular.


Any way you say it, the Washington, D.C. native is one hot property. Taraji graduated from Howard University and began her professional career with a part on Smart Guy. But it was her star turn ( or better her skin turn ) opposite Tyrese Gibson and Snoop Dogg in the John Singleton feature film that really made pants stand up and take notice as her elecrtifiying ebony boobs nearly got the black banged off of them. Taraji continues to show off her finery on tv, co - starring in a CBS Murder She Wrote movie called The Last Free Man ( 2001 ), and she got devilish in Satan's School for Girls ( 2000 ) with Shannon Doherty and ex - Charlie's Angels star Kate Jackson.


She's also appeared on ER, Felicity, and Sister, Sister. But she left the boob tube for the more boob - friendly big screen with Hidden Figures - although in real life you can´t keep a figure like Taraji´s hidden from any guy - and What Men Want where her nude scene was sadly too brief. As to what men want in 2001 most black men wanted Taraji P. Henson who was voted the second most beautiful woman by Black Men Magazine beating such nubian sexbombs like Vivica A. Fox ( who really lives up to her name since she is A Fox ) and playmate of the Year 1990 Renee Tenison only to be topped by nubian sex - goddess Janet " All Night Don´t Stop " Action Jackson , the best body in showbiz a.k.a. the blow up sex doll who walks.


So far I have not watched Empire because at the moment the first two season are still expensive but if it´s true that there are some nude scenes with Taraji ( which I doubt since it has a rating of apt for 12 year olds here in Germany ) I may have to look for a way to see it. Man, Taraji really has some lucky lips and it looks like her mouth is just the right size too. She can come over to my crib and play Swallow the Salami all weekend long.


From all the new videos I found ( since I already used up all my old ones ) the best ones are from the 2017 Annual Academy Awards where tittilating Taraji wore the definition of a " Fuck me ! "  dress if I have ever seen one !


I tried to find one video with all the footage but I have to post three different ones to make sure it includes the best bits. Speaking about best bits, especially important is the first video where Traraji leans forward at the beginning and you catch a good glimpse of her big round oreo cookies.





With Jaden Smith´s birthday I have to mention his father, Will Smith, who has been in movies with superheroes based on comics like Suicide Squad and movies with superheroes not based on comic books like Hancock ( although the costume he wore was literally Black Lightning´s costume ) as well as in movies based on obscure Marvel Comics series like the Men In Black movies. He became famous all over the world when he played the lead role in the mega successful sitcom The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air.


Of course a big part of that show´s success and continued appeal around the world ( there are probably only a few people on the face of the planet who can´t recite the lyrics to the title song in their sleep ) is Tatyana Ali who grew from a cute little girl into an incredible sexbomb over the course of that series and who got to show her musical skills.


Much to the chagrin of the show´s producers she really bOObed all out in later movie appearances like The Clown at Midnight or Fall Into Darkness .


Man, with that terrific body and a voice to match Tatyana Ali´s the total package - and I´m not talking about Lex Luger. You work that body girl !


Seeing her grind her body so expertly with her fit midriff section exposed and her mouth wide open in such close proximity to the microphone we all wondered how it would be to feel Tatyana´s full and soft lips wrapped tightly around our pulsating member deepthroating it. Her perfect lips are made to massage huge boners - and I´m talking about both sets of lips.


Now Will Smith has gone on record that the relationship between him and the insanely do - able Tatyana Ali has always been like the relationship between a big brother and his little sister but I don´t believe that he never put her booming tireless teenage body to the test not even once.


Either that or the relationship between a big brother and his little sister and what happens between them at night behind bedroom doors ( or in the shower during the day ) is a lot different where Will Smith grew up.


The only other explanation is that whenever Tatyana Ali got Will hard enough to cut a diamond he vented his pent up sexual energy on one of the other blow up sex dolls on the show. Like dicktamer Yunoka Doyle.


She played Ashley´s " bosom buddy " Keesha with a big emphasis on the " bosom " part. She probably spent the rest of the day after the shooting had ended screaming at the top of her lungs as Will banged her brains out.


The truth of that statement notwithstanding Tatyana Ali still looks terrific ( she has one of the breast natural racks in Hollywood - period ) as you can see in this video where her huge boobs almost spill out of her top !



We finally come to the part of the post some of my readers can´t wait for : the obligatory random video section ( I´m just guessing most of my readers prefer the comicbook / cult siren parts of the posts ) which is not so random in this case and brings us back to Jaden Smith in the best movie in the Karate Kid franchise - after the original trilogy with Ralph Macchio ( and I´m not talking about Marvel Comics famous editor ).

I think the worst one was the one with with Hilary Swank and the gay wannabe soldiers who were trying to mob her. And I´m saying " trying to mob her " because in the real world instead of banging her up a bit they would have dragged Julie to their clubhouse to take turns taming the girl.


That they were totally oblivious to Hilary´s obvious porn star qualities also accounts for the " gay " part. Even the producers of the movie knew that the part didn´t make any sense which is why they tried to cover up her 34C knockers for the entire movie because once you saw her booming body in action the suspension of disbelieve went flying out the window.


And when I say "flying " I mean flying. You can say what you want about the quality of the movie but Hilary really knows how to spread her legs and I´m sure a lot of teenage viewers had other things on their mind than martial arts when they saw her doing those high kicks in her tight pants.


Anyway, back to Jaden Smith´s Karate Kid movie, this was a much better retelling of the story which was in great part due to martial arts master Jackie Chan who got a rare occassion to show more of his acting skills. 



We are staying with The Karate Kid ( and I am not talking about Val Armorr here ) the best show on the planet at the moment is Cobra Kai. It is told from a different perspective than the movies and shows that in reality Daniel San was not the hero but the villain of the story. If you want to know what that means you can check out the full first episode on YouTube for free right now and there are rumors that the first two seasons will also be available for free as soon as season three drops. For which I can´t wait.



Originally I wanted to post No Retreat No Surrender which was a big martial arts hit around the same time when The Karate Kid was in german theaters although it didn´t span a franchise. Well, at least not in America.

Here in Germany it was called Karate Tiger 3 which was kind of an umbrella series for various martial art films including some with Cynthia Rothrock .


I already wrote about her at length and Today´s feature is Fight To Win a.k.a. Angel Eyes and it has Cynthia´s co - star in a plethora of movies - sometimes as her partner sometimes as her antagonist - Richard Norton.



A few months ago I chanced upon a few documentaries about martial arts and this one seemed appropriate since Mr. Myagi comes from Okinawa. It shows french ( ? ) martial artist Josette Normandeau exploring the world of Karate and the interesting part is you get to see a lot of old masters. What gets boring fast is her perception of Karate as a male dominated sport since it is neither. Karate is not a sport but a way of life if The Karate Kid has taught us anything. But I guess if you go into these things with a certain mindset you only see what you expect. Or like the chinese say : If the only tool you have is a hammer every problem looks like a nail.



Apropos Mr. Myagi, usually I would mention that Pat Morita also appeared in the Andy Sidaris movie Do Or Die but since I already put all the Andy Sidaris links in this post not too long ago I think we can skip it this time.

Speaking of preconceived notions and having certain expectations, as regular readers know when I write a post about asian hotties or martial arts or anything involving the occident there is always the obligatory k - pop video but this time I want to include something special. This is from episode four of I Can See Your Voice which as far as I could ascertain has contestants who claim they can sing. There seems to be one round with playback where the candidates have to make up their mind to whether the people who say they are good singers are telling the truth or lying and the big reveal where the contestants have to sing live. In this case it is Lina from Wannab and she is the sister of idol Minah from Girl´s Day.



And here is the original version with Minah and the girls from Girls Day.



This is another video that I usually don´t get to include because in most cases the five videos per post quota is already full with the usual sections and I often choose a video with hot asian babes over this one. Although now that I think about it videos about food are more like porn than real porn at my age. Anyway, as someone who has visited a few countries I am always interested in how the tastes differ in other regions of the planet.



Speaking of hot asian babes, I know that I posted a video of Jenny Babas somewhere but since I had to fix a lot of old posts in the last weeks I have no idea where it might have been. So if you come across episode 9 of Do The Right Thing with Jenny please let me know in the comments below.


At first I only wanted to include the newest video with her but since it is part three of a series and there might be some people who are not only interested in pocket rocket Jenny´s booty ( proof that the best things come in small packages ) but also the story here are parts one and two.





Today we have an eclectic collection of videos and instead of the usual manga video here is one about manwhas - chinese comics - and Tony Wong who is kind of the chinese Hansrudl Wäscher. My brother used to have quite the collection of these and all I remember from reading them is a guy shooting some power rays out of his thumbnail that leveled a mountain.



Likewise I didn´t want to post another episode of Samurai Champloo ( a great series but I don´t want to become predictable ) and because I don´t know any other martial arts animes my first thought was Dragonball but then I remembered that Son Goku was based on Monkey King from the classical chinese novel Journey To The West from the 16th century.

It´s a Spider - Man Sunday with Ross Andru !

It´s been a really long time since my last post because currently I am trying to make some progress on issue three of my new comic book so I am really behind with comic book birthdays. But I just had to make a new post for one of comicdoms most underrated artists, the great late Ross Andru.


Now longtime readers of the blog know that one of the main topics here are writers or artists that I think are underappreciated or at least are my personal favorites and which I think deserve more attention. And I have done posts on Ross Andru before. In 2016 I did two posts in homage for him, one about his work on the Superman titles which I read as part of the german SUPERMAN / BATMAN issues by Ehapa Verlag and one for his five year run on AMAZING SPIDER - MAN where he co - created the Punisher.


But that Spider - Man post was just splash pages so I wanted to do a black and white post for Ross Andru. Since I already went into the publishing history of Spider - Man in Germany in this post I don´t want to bore my readers with all the details again. Let me just mention that Ross Andru was the artist of the last issues that were published by the Williams Verlag and also the first issues Condor Verlag brought to german readers when DIE SPINNE finally became a monthly title in Germany again back in 1980.


Besides accompanying me on a long stretch of my comic reading another reason why I wanted to make this post is I still haven´t seen THIS version of Peter Parker on the big screen. I know that I have done a number of posts about " my Spider - Man " which for someone like me who has been reading comic books for over 40 years now have been different versions of Spider - Man at different times. Naturally I started with the early Steve Ditko issues but the thing that kept me reading the title was that with each issue and each new artist it just kept getting better and better.

There were some periods I did not enjoy as much but from John Romita to Sal Buscema to John Romita Junior to Ron Frenz to Todd McFarlane to Erik Larsen etc. there are a lot of periods that I thoroughly enjoyed. So it´s hard to pick one favorite and say : " That´s the one Spider - Man artist for me, the end - all - be - all of Spider - Man artists. " Coming back to Ross Andru, while I can´t say that he is my favorite Spider - Man artist he definitely is the one who defined the alter ego of Peter Parker for me.


Which may sound strange but for me that was the Peter Parker that was as interesting as Spider - Man ( if not more interesting ) because it was the guy that grew up with me. He lost the big love of his life ( there is still a DEATH IN COMICS : THE DEATH OF GWEN STACY post in the works ) and his relationships to the whole supporting cast changed - especially to Mary Jane ( who is back in Peter Parker´s life although it took Disney forever to reach that realization ), he graduated from college and he became more confident moving away from the puny bookworm Parker image.


What´s even more important is that Ross Andru had such a knack for drawing backgrounds and especially Peter´s bachelor pad that you really had the impression that this was a guy you really knew and visited once a month. There was the busted sofa he got from the trash together with the wooden indian and all the other stuff in his apartment. Plus the signature sweater. I remember that one Christmas my mother got me a sweater as a present and she thought I would not like it because I would have preferred a toy. Little did she know that it became one of my favorite sweaters because it looks just like the sweaters that Peter Parker was wearing in those Ross Andru issues of AMAZING SPIDER - MAN. By the way, I still have the sweater and it´s one of the few that still fits me.

Anyways, in the movies Peter Parker is getting younger and younger and his evolution has been from socially awkward but good looking nerdy guy to funny but moody hottie to annoying millenial so I don´t think we will get to see this version of Peter Parker on the big screen any time soon.


Before we come to the art I selected for this post another thing I have to mention is Ross Andru´s storytelling. As somebody who is trying to get his ideas on paper that part is especially frustrating but looking over Ross Andru´s pages is like getting a master class because no matter if you like his art or not one thing that will never happen is that you are confused what is happening. He lays the pages out in such a way that you can understand the most complicated plot without reading a single word.  


As I wrote in the introduction there are a lot of missed birthdays. It seems that I am now down to one post a month which gets split up into several spin - off posts ( five this month ) to make the main post shorter. Which is one of the reason why finishing this post took so long, I had to do the spin - off posts first so I can link to them in Today´s birthday rundown.

We start on May the 20th with Gardner Fox, one of the main architects of the DC universe. The first homage posts I did were in 2016 - one about his superhero DC comics and a second post about his science fiction comic work , in 2017 I did a post that was all about DC´s super hero comics and last year it was all about western comics . I wish I could have written one this year as I still have enough material for another two or three posts.


GEILE SCHWESTERN : SYLVIE & SYBILLE, JETZT RAUCHT´S ERST RECHT !

Next we have Sylvie Rauch who turned 57. She appeared in a few erotic movies before doing porn together with her older sister Sybille Rauch which were her most successful ones. She also starred solo in a few flicks.


Before becoming one of the most successful porn stars with one of the biggest german porn companies ( her sales records breaking movie BORN TO LOVE even guest starred british porn superstar Sarah Louise Young ) Sibylle played in a lot of the erotic movies that swept Germany in the 80s.


But her most famous roles were in the israeli series of erotic comedies EIS AM STIEL ( Lemon Popsicle in english ) that were among the most watched movies in Germany at that time. The movies follow a trio of friends on a quest to loose their virginity and as usual sex hijinks and breasts ensue.


Sibylle used that popularity to jump start a singing career ( this was when megabusty singers like Sabrina Salerno, Danuta, Angela Cavagna, Fanny Cadeo or Samantha Fox became big stars thanks to the predominance of music videos ) and she was the publisher - as well as the face and body - of the german HUSTLER from 1992 till 1995. She did a lot of cocaine and I thought she died in 1997 but luckily she survived her suicide attempt. 


And before you think I only mentioned Bumsbombe Sibylle Rauch to re - post some hot pictures of Sibylle she turned 59 on the 14th of June.

NEVER SEEN A PERFECT GEM HIT THE SPLITS ON HER TIPPY TOES !

Speaking of chestful women raven haired MILF Lisa Edelstein celebrated her 53rd birthday on May the 21st, best known for playing Dr. Gregory House´s foil and main sexual obsession Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the show House .


I used to watch the series with my Mom but after a while she lost interest and stopped following it so I´m not up to date. Maybe when I have watched all the series I have currently in my to watch pile I can get the series on DVD but if I do I will probably start with season 4 in which Lisa has her ultra sexy pole dance that leaves very little to the imagination.


Now in past months I have put the links to the spin - off post in one part of the post but this time I have sectioned out certain days ( rather than birthdays which can be collected under one headline ) so I am going to insert them at the corresponding date. With that being said I tried not to include stuff where I am repeating what I already posted before ( aside from a few cult sirens of choice about whom I don´t get to write about that often ) so if you want you can find more celebrity birthdays from May the 21st in this post - as well as some birthdays up until May the 23rd.


As for the and new material I just mentioned you can find something more about Monica Naranjo, Fiona Gelin, Naomi Campbell, Tracy Brookshaw, Katie Price and german Schlagerstsarlet Linda Hesse - who FINALLY did a naked photoshooting for the german edition of PLAYBOY last year - here .


On May the 25th we had a comicbook creator trifecta starting fittingly with Sal Velluto who turend 63 since I have written the most posts for him. The first one was a lengthy post on Christopher Priest´s BLACK PANTHER run way back in 2012 followed by a quick overview of all the series Sal Velluto has worked on in 2016 ( I don´t know why it took me that long to do a follow up post ), in 2017 I covered everything I had to skip in my first post about BLACK PANTHER in a special black and white post and last year´s post was all about JUSTICE LEAGUE TASK FORCE .


Speaking of black and white comicbook art, next we had the 66th birthday of Stan Sakai and his USAGI yOJIMBO is one of my favorite comic series EVER ! I already did a lenghty post on Usagi Yojimbo back in 2010 which I followed up with a black and white post in 2018 . This year I haven´t found the time to do one - yet - but I have already selected all the pages for a special DEATH IN COMICS : USAGI YOJIMBO post. And unlike with other black and white posts ( just for those who are wondering what a black and white post is ) I don´t have to spend a lot of time looking for the colored versions of the pages I am going to post since there are none.


Of course now that I said what a great black and white comic USAGI YOJIMBO is the series has changed publishers from Dark Horse to IDW who are going to put it out as a fully colored series. As usual I am not sure if my comic shop is aware of the change of if I will have to hunt down the first issues myself. As for the color I am not initially averse to it since there have been a few instances where Stan Sakai did color an issue or two.



Last but not least we had Barry Windsor Smith who turned 70. Which would have been the ideal occassion for a new post. He is one of those artist who slips out of the public awareness from time to time but as soon as he puts out some new work you immediately remember all the iconic series he worked on. So far I haven´t done many posts about him - a black and white post in 2016 and last year I did a post with the complete original artwork for issue 6 of CONAN . More May the 25th birthdays in this post .


We skip May the 26th ( don´t worry, only for a moment ) and I am only mentioning Harlan Ellison´s anniversary on May the 27th because I did a post about him in 2016 since he also did work in the field of comicbooks .


GEILE SCHWESTERN TEIL 2 : DIE GEILE KYLIE & DANNII MINOGUE !

Which brings us to May the 28th and another icon of pop culture but mostly pop music as aussie actress / singer / sexsymbol Kylie Minogue turned 51. I remember when she had her first big hit The Locomotion Mtv vj Steve Blane didn´t get tired of predicting she would never be more than a one hit wonder and I never get tired of reminding people of that.


One of the first music video tapes I got was The Best Of Kylie Minogue because she had some of the best videos around that time including Step Back In Time, Shocked, Better The Devil You Know, What Do I Have To Do and my favorite Give Me Just A Little More Time. This must have been around 1997 so none of the sexy videos like Spinning Around or Can´t Get You Out Of My Head were on this. Man, those were some good videos, I should really look for a DVD of this the next time I´m at some DVD store.


My third Best Of music video tape was of Kylie´s sister Dannii Minogue who is best known Today as the coach of Dami Im on X - Factor Australia but what most people forget is that she had a music career before Kylie did and not only was she quite successful - she was already a big superstar when Kylie started - but Doctor Doom was in one of her music videos.


Kind of. Here is the best video of Dannii Minogue, it´s her appearance on a french tv show in the mother of all sideboob dresses that doesn´t really cover much of her glorious breasts. I may have posted this before but as these videos disappear rather quickly I´m posting this again just in case.



Not to be outdone by her sister Kylie also appeared on that talk show displaying her tittilating twins in the mother of all plunging cleavages.



SIMON SAYS : DANNII MINOGUE WAS MY SEX TOY, MY BLOW UP SEX DOLL

The stacked Minogue sister with the built in pair of bongos was actually in the music business first and had a big career before Kylie ever sang her first note, which most people forgot for a long time. Which of course changed when she became a judge on The X - Factor where she got the highest points from the audience on the show and Simon Cowell in the bedroom who used her as his blow up sex doll. Dannii has officially denied being Simon´s sex toy but that doesn´t contradict that he banged her brains out. I mean, if I was sitting next to a wet dream with such huge melons all day I would definitely put her pornstar body to the test, this is a total no brainer. Simon even campaigned to get her back on the show and made no secret that it was mainly because of her incredible breasts.


He wanted the channel to splash out millions to secure a deal with Dannii Minogue and told ITV boss Peter Fincham : " Bring her back to X - Factor and everyone will tune in to look at her tits. "  In his biography Simon Cowell admitted that he was in love with Danni Minogue for years. " I had a crush on her. It was Dannii´s hair, the sexy clothes and the tits. I was like a schoolboy. She was foxy. She was a real man´s girl. Very feminine. "



Now there are a lot of music videos on YouTube of Kylie - not to mention of her concerts - so instead I opted for her megaerotic Agent Provocateur commercial. One of the reasons for that is that I found these great GIFs so I don´t need to spend countless hours myself making them ( thanks to the unknown hero who made them and posted them on the internet ).


Also this commercial was banned in quite a few countries and if it was shown in Germany it was definitely after midnight. And lastly you can´t beat die Geile Minogue riding a mechanical bull. Wearing black lingerie.



And you can find more celebrity birthdays for May the 28th in this post .

This was the first part of the birthday list but don´t worry we continue this in part two which is in my brandnew second Ross Andru Amazing Spider - Man post . Which will also contain more art by Ross Andru.


Congratulations if you have made it this far. As a little bonus for your effort here are some new videos with italian Power Girl Emanuela Botto who strangely enough is not a porn star as I already posted new videos of romanian Busenwunder Oana Andoni and albanian braless all natural 34DD newscaster Enki Bracaj in the spin - off posts. For this special occassion I have selected five videos from two different days, in the first two she is wearing a jeans outfit that can´t handle her big melons and she´s just laying the twins on the table. In the other videos we have her with the nippleslip again which for some reason seem to be the most popular.







When you are working that long on a post you inevitably come across a few videos that you want to put on the blog as quick as possible. I don´t know what it is with fan made trailers lately but most of them look better than the real thing. Like this one which puts a new spin on The Fresh Prince Of Bel - Air and hopefully gets turned into a tv series very soon.



I also want to include some videos about Spider - Man and while I already posted some issues Ross Andru drew here is one about the second clone saga. The first one was drawn by Ross Andru and if you have checked out my posts about him to which I linked at the top of this post ( hint, hint ) you know that this story was unpublished in Germany for the longest time which made the first issue of Die Spinne from the Condor Verlag especially confusing since it opened with Peter Parker getting rid of his dead clone.



And for my spanish readers here is an episode of the classic Spider - Man cartoon that should help you cool down during these hot summer days.
