Kung Pew Video
At Kung Pew Video, the video store never died.
Here you'll find movie reviews and commentary on 80s and 90s martial arts films, cyberpunk sci-fi, direct-to-video action movies, and cult genre oddities that once ruled late-night cable and dusty rental shelves.
From neon-drenched dystopias and android assassins to underground karate tournaments and street-level vigilante justice, these are the movies that raised a generation on chrome, sweat, and sincerity.
New reviews weekly. And the best part? No late fees.

Jean-Claude Van Damme returning to his martial arts roots? You've got my attention. 🥋
His upcoming film Katana gave me a reason to step out from behind the Kung Pew Video counter and talk news. Here’s what caught my interest.

I'm sad October is over, but I'm glad to get back to watching some other genres. This will always be 'I Come in Peace' to me, because that's what it was called when I saw it in the theater.
What about you? Is it 'Dark Angel' or 'I Come in Peace'?

Creepy masks. Killer androids. Tom Atkins and a sixer of High Life.
Halloween III makes some questionable choices—and I love it for that. My review of Season of the Witch is here as our Halloween season winds down at Kung Pew Video.
Any other Halloween III fans out there?

Our Halloween season reviews continue with NEON MANIACS (1986)—a creature feature packed with great monster designs, neon-soaked mayhem, and a story that is lacking in depth and logic. It’s a mess, but I enjoy returning to it from time to time. .
They don’t make weird like this anymore
Have you seen this one, or did it somehow escape your video store radar

I just watched Night of the Creeps last night, and to be honest I am mixed on it.
I love the campy 80s vibe and the characters, but I think it dragged and wasn’t quite as focused or coherent as something like Night of the Comet or Night of the Living Dead.
I’ll eventually give this a full review, but I had higher hopes for this one.

What do you get when you mix killer trucks, Emilio Estevez, AC/DC, and Stephen King together?
Maximum Overdrive.
Our Halloween season continues with this coke-fueled product of the crazy 1980s. It doesn't make much sense, but it sure is a fun way to spend 90 minutes on a Saturday night.
So ease the seat back, set the cruise control, and let's dive into Stephen King's Maximum Overdrive!

SURPRISE. We're not done this week. ☘️
Halloween season continues tomorrow with a little Irish mythology, a bit of mayhem, and a whole lot of Warwick Davis having the time of his life as a murderous shoemaker.
He wants his gold....
Leprechaun (1993) hits Kung Pew Video at 10 AM CST.

My Halloween-season reviews continue with Night of the Comet—a movie I somehow missed in the 80s and now could watch anytime.
Two valley girl sisters, zombies, a deserted LA, and a little retail therapy between brushes with death.
The new review is up!

I don't do an October watch list at Kung Pew Video because I'm not the authority on all things horror by any stretch. But if you're looking for some movies to add to your watchlist, ScreenAge Wasteland just dropped its annual 31 Days of Halloween Watchlist. It's packed with some great variety.
Check it out: screenagewasteland.com/31-days-of-halloween-2026-w…
Happy October! 🎃📼

Halloween season has finally arrived here at Kung Pew Video!
And we’re kicking off the season with something that feels unmistakably KPV: a dystopian sci-fi action horror movie about a public school terrorized by heavily armed gangs, killer cyborg teachers, and Stacy Keach’s mullet.
It may be sci-fi first, but Class of 1999 is horrifying in its own special way.
School’s out. Murderbots are in. And October is has just begun.
