DEATH COMES - JUNK MEET

Just finished watching my third ever episode of the limited CBC series Kids in the Hall: Death Comes To. (This is a repeat run... saw two stories back in its original airing.)

What a bad show -- as bad as that other CBC "comedy" series, Little Mosque on the Prairie. (And Death Comes is bad in a Little Mosque way. Both series do not play by their own ground rules.)

Hey. SunTV is playing Enter the Dragon right now. Tuned in as John Saxon met-up with Jim Kelly on a junk. Man, this straight guy thinks those two are amazing together on-screen...

... And here comes Keye Luke! Awesome. (Well, it's Keye Luke's voice.)

I had recently read that John Saxon's role was originally to be played by tough guy actor William Smith, who played the bad guy in Robert Clouse's previous film Darker Than Amber. As much as I love Saxon in this part, I couldn't help but wonder what Bill Smith would've been like. B-Movie cast recently had an interview with John Saxon, and his comments about Bruce Lee were very moving.

And Jim Kelly! Whoa- man, that guy was great: too bad he made so few films. If there's one person who needs a Tarantino-ish comeback, it's him.

William Smith is awesome.
