The Martial Arts Movie Thread 2017 Donnie hates his fans

Yowza.

I’M FUCKIN IN

Came across these to fight reels on Youtube today.

Looks interesting…

Over the past week, I saw two action films on Netflix. One was called “Call Me King” and the other was called “Everly” starring Salma Hayek. Both were interesting for what it’s worth since they were like independent action films.

Looks promising.

Lol Everly was a good movie imo but the critics shat all over it.

Recently watched The Matrix again :smiley: That first kung fu scene between Morpheus and Neo still excites me. I love scenes like that where reality is altered.

Yall niggas need to watch Cobra Kai. Shit had no business being that damn good. They did a great job of balancing nostalgia, while filling in parts of the old story. The new elements they added don’t feel invasive and like they’re shitting on Pat Morita’s legacy unlike that Jaden Smith piece of shit movie. Must watch if you’re a fan. If you’re like me hopefully you still have your free Youtube RED trial, since I know you niggas haven’t watched anything on there. Right? :thinking:

Scott Adkins will be in Ip Man 4

Adkins really is consigned to B movie hell. Needs to fire his agent, take a low key role in some kinda thriller as a non super solider/goon/convict and try and play it straight for a few movies.

Guy should have been like JCVD but all he is getting is this obscure ‘sequel’ bullshit.

Sooo…I stumbled across this…

its a shitty martial arts series but a great drama/comedy

First reviews for The Night Comes For Us, starring Joe Taslim and Iko Uwais

Screen Anarchy:

All you need is a girl, a gun, and 30 million gallons of blood.

Bullets, knives, and fists come in handy, too, in Timo Tjahjanto’s extremely violent action picture The Night Comes For Us . The violence is brutal and explicit: broken bones burst through the skin, sharp-edged weapons slash their way into and out of body parts, and thousands of bullets thump into and fly out of bodies that take more punishment than is humanly possible.

So, yes, hardcore action fans should be delighted!

Film School Rejects:

It may lack The Raid: Redemption‘s narrative simplicity and The Raid 2‘s gorgeous cinematography, but in specific regard to the action, momentum, and beautiful, bone-breaking fight sequences this is a blistering and aggressively thrilling action masterpiece. Your own muscles will ache while watching it as you tense in anticipation, excitement, and sympathy for the brutal beatings you’re witnessing on the screen. No real body could take this kind of abuse for very long — hell, I’m pretty confident that any one of these hits would end me — but while most opponents are dispatched quickly and painfully there are a few brawls that go the distance including a third act face-off of epic proportions. Tjahjanto knows it’s insane, but he plays it serious and pushes his two leads to nearly absurd extremes in a fight that rivals any of the one-on-one fights in Gareth Evans’ films.

Birth Movies Death:

I adore The Night Comes for Us and feel especially happy that it’s hitting Netflix where more people are likely to find it, though I lament that so few will get to see it on the big screen with a hungry crowd. Nevertheless, I imagine this will be the one I put on whenever I meet a new action fan. It’s fast, fun and the new peak for action gore. It will also make you very nervous about pool balls and what they can do to a human face.

So I was looking at a movie on Amazon Prime called Champion Road. Think Lionheart but with black people. It’s low budget but I liked it. Now I’m watching the sequel.
