On The Stacks this week, Shana and j. continue coverage of the films of Sergio Leone with his angry and funky final western, Fistful of Dynamite (1971, aka Duck You Sucker) in addition to the 23rd episode of Ultra Q, "Fury of the South Seas" in part one (running to 1:26:54). Part two (1:26:55-2:30:42) features five additional films, mostly action-packed, including the regional Akron, Ohio martial arts picture The Instructor (1981, directed by Don Bendell), the new Severin documentary Enter the Clones of Bruce (2023, directed by David Gregory) kicking off their Brucesploitation box, the experimental Hungarian animated feature Bubble Bath (1980, directed by György Kovásznai), the early Hong Kong New Wave / triad film Man on the Brink (directed by Alex Cheung) and finally, the based-on-a-true-story runaway train film Unstoppable (2010, directed by Tony Scott). As always, we conclude in part three with discussion of all the other physical media we've watched since last time and make our picks for next week's episode.
