Ireland’s Hilarious Kung Fu Movie – Fatal Deviation (1998)
Qxir’s been cooped up in the house for a long time, so here it is – the longest video on the channel yet. Sit down and grab a beer, we’re watching a movie. A curious one, to say the least.
“Fatal Deviation is a low-budget cult film produced and set in Trim, County Meath, Ireland. Produced in 1998, it enjoys the distinction of being Ireland’s first full-length martial arts film. The film stars real-life martial arts enthusiast James Bennett. The film was conceived by James Bennett. Many have considered this film to be one of the worst films ever made. The movie went straight to video without a theatrical release.”

26:20 It's common for women to find it attractive that a man has the capability to be dangerous but won't harm them. This is part of the reason why serial killers have a following among women, and it's theorized to be a desirable genetic trait as a man who can protect you from danger is a safe bet for reproduction.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Neil Breen can’t stay off the screen in his films, I would’ve sworn this was one of his international productions.

Everyone that enjoys fatal deviation has Colin Murphy to thank for bringing it to the masses on the Blizzard of Odd in the early 2000s

ok the best thing and pretty unique in this movie is the real sound of a shotgun in the final scene

And watch The Green Elephant, it is much worse because of the script but much much better because of professional actors

in soviet Union he whole concept of eastern martial arts was banned multiple times, despite its popularity. It was a felony in 30-s, in 70-s, and in early 80-s. Now it is decriminlised, but any ninja weaponry from shurikens to nunchucks is striclty forbidden.

11:23 That would never work in Ireland. "What kind of BEER?" Otherwise you're just going to get Heineken or some shite.
The combat monks hanging out is pretty normal though.

It's no Ip Man or Drunken Fist but it is a man and I assume alcohol was involved.

There was a martial arts shop in Dublin, I think around Henry street where you could buy ninja weaponry back in the 90’s.

Okay but isn't this movie very endearing when you imagine this dude involving all the other people and stuff? It's like an irish Wakaliwood movie. "Who killed captain MacGowan?" (the most irish surname I could think of)

Its not good, but it is so far removed from the worst filum I've ever seen.
There's some degree of film craft going on

An Irish Kung Fu movie sounds like it could have actual potential.
A Northern English Western less so.
