The first 50 seconds of the sword fight.
[/quote]Well…guess I’ll give it the old download n watch…
Rhio, don’t keep your hopes up. Out of the 6 fight scenes in the entire film only the last 3 are worth watching. The sword fight is the second best fight in the film with the final fight being the best. There’s a brief segment at the end of the final fight that’s really weird, you’ll understand when you watch it, lol.
First minute of the end fight scene.
So the end of the year is approaching, so I wanted to ask. What do you all think is the fight scene of the year? For me it would have to be the final fight scene in The Raid 2. There were a ton of martial arts movies this year, but this one stuck out the most for me. What were some that stuck out for you?
Honestly Street Fighter: Assassins Fist.
Raid 2 was meh in a lot of respects to me but kitchen fight was pretty good, I prefered the jail brawl. SF:AF didnt really have the polish of a hard MA movie but fan nostaglia, hype and following all the stuff Furious posted for us, 2014 definitely belongs to Ansah and his boys man.
for best fight scene? ehhhh, it was good as a film, but I thought that there were a few fight scenes that topped any in that movie for the year. Raid 2 kitchen fight was really well shot, and just an all around good fight. Honestly I actually have to think of the fight scenes in SF:AF. Though the few times Ryu and Ken sparred was pretty damn good.
Actually considering the budget for SF:AF, I think they did a spectacular job with it (well save for Akuma’s hair, lol). But that was just all around well made.
Keanu Reeves vs Daniel Bernhardt in John Wick is the only other thing I can think of for this year, that Aikido/Kickboxing was hella cool.
I’ll have to watch it. I usually don’t hear anything with Keanu Reeves having a cool fight scene. I mean after that abysmal fight scene in Man of Tai Chi, I don’t know what to think.
Yea you need to erase that shit from your memory, same with that 47 niggas or wuteverthefuck it was. John Wick is legit man, I was really surprised at how good the combat was, think Jason Bourne stuff then raise it a notch.
I’d put it at a tie, both in the Raid 2, between the kitchen fight scene, and Rama’s initial assault of the building when he’s fighting those guys in the warehouse.
*Jean-Claude Van Damme is returning to the world of Kickboxer, one of the movies that launched his action star career.
The actor is in final negotiations to join the cast of Kickboxer, a franchise remake featuring Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista and X-Men: Days of Future Past actor Alain Moussi. John Stockwell is directing.
This time, however, Van Damme is not the student but the master and is replacing Thai action star Tony Jaa, who dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.
Kickboxer follows Kurt Sloan (Moussi), a talented martial artist who travels to Thailand where he must learn the secrets of the kickboxer to avenge his brother’s death at the hands of Tong Po (Bautista).
Van Damme will play a new version of Master Chow, who teaches Sloan the art of the kick. (Dennis Chan played the part in the 1989 original.)
UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, who played Batroc in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, is also in the cast.
"We are so excited to have Kickboxer roll into production and to have JCVD in the role of Master Chow, passing the torch to Alain, to have him lead the franchise to a new generation " said Ted Field of Radar Films, who is producing the movie with Dimitri Logothetis and Nick Celozzi. Logothetis and Jim McGrath wrote the script.
Mike Weber and Peter Meyer are executive producing the pic, which begins shooting this week in New Orleans. It will also shoot in Thailand.
The Exchange is selling the movie worldwide.
Van Damme is repped by Gersh and Specter & Co. and Hirsch Wallerstein.

Dunno how JCVD will measure up to Chan in the mentor role but he is a fuck ton better than Tony Jaa either way so happy days :tup:
He needs to make another martial arts movie.
this feels like a preview of a third person view of someone playing an oculus rift game lol
A very interesting and informative video for all martial arts and action film fans, this explains a lot of the differences between western and eastern action films and why the former never really took off.
this vid is all over my feed this week. allooootttt of stunt people are posting this
yay finally
The Grandmaster is finally getting a UK release, we’re getting a different cut from previous released versions
Kermode reviews
Hmmmm, I like the concept. Would have loved a beat em up mode where you can act out fight scenes from typical martial arts films (boat yard, factory, temple, etc).Thoughts?
i think an 8 bit game would be more fun. kinda like the scott pilgrim game
