Womb to Tomb – because nature seeks equilibrium.

Nothing can exist without contrast – no good without evil, no peanut butter without Braunschweiger. So today “Womb to Tomb” brings you the cosmically connected stories of a cinema hitman known for mowing down football team-sized groups of badguys and an Amish Maestro who is movie history’s angriest, most revenge-thirsty – and, we say with affection, most misunderstood – brother.

On this day, May 18th, Chow Yun-Fat was born. The Harrison Ford of Hong Kong – only six times more emotive, ten times as prolific and never once reminds you of your perpetually cranky grandpa.

• Chow slummed in the 1998 actioner The Replacement Killers with consistently scowly actor Jurgen Prochnow.
• Prochnow played the Woodsman in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me with Kyle MacLachlan.
• Kyle MacLachlan needed an acting coach from the Bizarro World to earn his Worst. Onscreen. Lovemaking. Ever. title in Showgirls, which stinktastically also featured Robert Davi.

And Robert Davi played The Other Agent Johnson in 1988’s Die Hard-in-a-skyscraper Die Hard with Alexander Godunov. The former dancer drank himself into the ground on this day, May 18th.
