#TOOCOOLTUESDAY : HAMMER FILMS JULIE EGE SINGS TOUCH ME / STOP IT I LIKE IT AND THEN STOPS!

#TOOCOOLTUESDAY Over at our FACEBOOK FAN PAGE we posed the question, 'Can you name the Cushing / Hammer films co-star who had a fleeting recording career?' Who would have thought that the answer was glamorous actress and co star of Hammer films, 'Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires', JULIE EGE was the answer we were looking for?

JULIE EGE'S RECORDING CARRER started in 1971, with the release of the single, Love written by John Lennon, with a 'b-side' of 'In One Of Your Weaker Moments' (CBS 5431) It is believed the single came with this  naked 'talent shot' below.

NOT ANOTHER NOTE was heard from Ege until 1977, when she released, Touch Me / Stop It I Like It (Starbox SX 1158)... certainly not the kinda happy sing-a-long ditty, you would want to plop onto the turn table, at your grandma's 80th birthday party, family get together! Ege was approached by a recording company with a contract to record some further songs, and release a whole album! But, wisely Ege realised she probably was not the best of singers (!) and her short singing career ended there.

BOBBING ZOMBIES AND KUNG FU VAMPIRES: ITS MONSTERMONDAY

MONDAY here at PCAS means one thing... ‪#‎monstermonday‬, our weekly spot where we celebrate the scary, sinister and down right terrifying Monsters and all things that creep, that have been featured in Peter Cushing's film and tv work.. TODAY here on the website and at our facebook page, we take a close look...not TOO close, at those fanged kung fu frighteners from Peter Cushing's 'The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires'.

One of the great things about Cushing's 'THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES' is the 'double-monster' value. Not only do you get the Seven Deadly Kung Fu Vampires but also, The Zombies!

At first sight, the hoping bobbing skipping undead seem a very strange sight.. it's only after you see them on mass, doing their odd bob...like all things asian-horror, it starts to look more than a little slightly warped and psycho-twisted. A great idea, an interesting angle on Vampires, Dracula AND Kung Fu...and Peter Cushing as the all fighting, fearless, Van Helsing vampire hunter!

Here Hammer's Kung Fu Undead echo another famous 'zombie scene' from ten years before in 'THE PLAGUE OF THE ZOMBIES'. Again, the dead are awake and walking...this time in China and Van Helsing and Dracula are along for the ride too!

'CALL HIM, MR SHATTER' PETER CUSHING AND STUART WHITMAN: KUNG FU FIGHTING WITH HAMMER AND SHAW BROTHERS

If you're stuck for a Peter Cushing film to watch tonight, here's a 'interesting' outing Peter did for Hammer and Shaw Bros in 1974, as part of the 'Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires' package. ''Shatter' or 'Call Him, Mr Shatter' is quite dated now, but if you can get around the mucho kung fu action sequences, there is a very good scene with star Stuart Whitman and Peter. A relaxed performance from Cushing, but with an edge of menace. Here's the whole film on youtube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4K2hbLxBjc

VAMPIRES SOCK AND WAGONS ROLL: PETER CUSHING JULIE EGE AND DAVID CHIANG : HAMMER FILMS LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES

WAGONS ROLL: Peter Cushing, Julie Ege and David Chiang in Hammer Films THE LEGEND OF THE SEVEN GOLDEN VAMPIRES (1974) LEGEND was the first of two Hammer productions shot back-to-back in Hong Kong in partnership with Shaw Brothers, the other being SHATTER also starring Peter Cushing. LEGEND was the fifth and last time Peter Cushing would play Van Helsing. Because of the practice of 'shooting mute' in Hong Kong, all the soundtrack, music and dialogue was added later in post production. John Forbes Robertson, the actor who played Dracula in Christopher Lee's absence was furious when he discovered that he had been dubbed by another actor.
