The Martial Arts Movie Thread 2017 Donnie hates his fans

Zaror jobbed in Machette Kills but he was still awesome in it, plus he had like a billion clones so he didnt really lose. :stuck_out_tongue:

thats not the official poster lol

was it GSP gloves that gave it away? Man nobody has the skills to make a poster that will sell this garbage. Van Damme is basically doing the exact same shit he did in Dragon Eyes, except this time hes ruining a classic at the same time.

F’in right! Adkins could do Punisher, as good as anyone else, if not better.

He’d also be a perfect Iron Fist.

Yes. It was kinda crappy. I love Scott Adkins, I love JCVD, i love Dolph Lundgren but…

…they fucked it up!! Why did they have to fuck it up??? :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

It had a few good fights and thats it. Whole thing was mediocre.

Also i’d recommend against watching the movie if you’re seizure-prone, due to strobe-lights and what not.

I think ive actually seen it then let the wonders of amnesia take the pain away, this is the movie that felt like some crazy art school flick? Lots of trippy moments n shit?

This is the one with the bald JCVD as the villian, who fights Adkins at the end dressed in clown make-up. If you’ve seen it, you won’t forget it lol. Adkins also fights Dolph Lundgren to the death too.

And the flashback strobe-light heavy scenes… what the hell were they thinking?!

Actually, i could say the same for the whole fucking movie.

Knowing that Adkins auditioned for Batman in Batman vs Superman makes me happy that he actually is going for bigger roles.

He should have gotten the role, damnit.

Screw ben affleck and his butt-chin.

Josh Brolin also auditioned. I think he would have been a better choice to, if they were looking for an older, veteran Batman.

Yeah, Hercules was abysmal. I mean Adkins has the look of a young Bruce for sure. But i just can’t see how Affleck will play a good Batman/Bruce Wayne. I’m trying very hard to see it, but just can’t.

Screw Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Steven Seagal, etc. JCVD is, and will always be, THE hollywood martial arts icon to me.

However, his work as of late, continues to be disappointing. He has clearly lost it. If its not a gloried cameo role, he picks lousy flicks to be the lead in. Just saw Pound of flesh. It wasn’t terrible but, far from great. The last truly good JCVD movie i saw was Assassination Games with Scott Adkins. His performance was pretty solid.

And whats with him and the damn sunglasses lately? Does he have an eye problem? So many of his recent work has him wearing sunglasses so damn much. Even on goddamn Conan O’Brien recently. Like he is trying to hide himself. Or he is recovering from a perpetual hangover.

R.I.P young JCVD. A true badass.

Isn’t that trope used incessantly in most Western action media (gaming and film)? Middle-aged white male motivated by revenge in his efforts to take down his brother’s/mother’s/girlfriend’s/best friend’s/dog’s murderer? I’m pretty sure that plot has been done several times.

I really need to look into more Michelle Yeoh films. For some reason, watching her throw haymakers in that scene from Babylon AD gets me hype

My stunt friends say Scott Adkins is an amazing actor. Do you guys think so?

your friends drunk…and this is from a adkins fanboy.

Yea Assassination Games was pretty intense, plus it probably has Adkins doing his best on screen MA from what ive seen. Dem jumping spinning back kicks all fucking day son. Pretty decent thriller for the B movie it was too but Van Damme was terrible in it, and they spent too much time talking instead of beating ass from what I remember. Still that Adkins hallway fight, if youtube let me embed on the site today I would link that shit.

Rock let us know how the subs are on Wolf Warriors dawg.

michelle is currently in this seasons strikeback as the villain

Is Strike Back really that good? I know the final season is coming up but I wasn’t to sure about the show.

Damn. I guess I’ll stick to Banshee.

lmfao. hes trolling you. rock is the person who put me onto strikeback.

Figures. LOL!!! And how can Rock hate on this fight scene from Banshee.

He is still posting gym shots on his FB page so I’m guessing he is doing okay.

After watching Madmax I really want to see live action Fist of the North Star attempted again. Adkins as Kenshiro, Ansah as Raoh, who would make a good Toki and Ray?

Banshee is pretty consistent on it’s choreography, if people thought Daredevil had good choreog ( :expressionless: ) then the bar is pretty low (not saying it was garbage but they needed more time to practice, I commend them for being ambitious). Banshee is much better IMO…
