The Martial Arts Movie Thread 2017 Donnie hates his fans

Looks great so far, hope that translates to the final release.

What sucks right now is the spot I usually get my martial arts movies from is “neglecting” that part of their business and are focusing on selling vape and vape accessories.

I just watched Kuro-obi. It’s… Such a manly movie.

We all saw that sucktitude coming, bro. None of us were surprised.

We did but I had a lil faith in Alain Moussi, thought he was gonna pull a Joey Ansah for us. Ironically enough this fucker worked with Joey in Street Fighter Rez and was still trash so yea, am more than a lil disappointed.

I was so confused during the first 35 minutes or so! WTF. Was i watching a flashback? Or the present? I had no idea.

The directing/editing is just so choppy and amtarurish. Like they’d never made a movie before. If there is such a thing as a movie-making or, storytelling 101 class out there? The director/editor/etc, should be tied up and forced to attend it and, not be let out until they pass the course with an A.

There was also zero build-up or tension to the event of the brother’s death. The original showed them training together, exploring the city, moments before the big fight where JCVD saw Tong Po training and cracking the pillar with his kicks, etc.

And these events were shown to us in real time of the movie, not some half-assed and rushed flashback.

Yes…yes it was.

So two movies that look like they might be so bad that their good and I’m curious about them. LOL!!!


that dubbing :rofl:

Finally got around to watching Jean-claude van johnson. I enjoyed that one way more than i expected. Does anyone else want to see that Huckleberry Finn movie? I loled when i heard the line:

JCVD: “There’s a new man of the house”.

It wasn’t even that funny but, JCVD just delivered that line with such shameless cheese! haha.

And the fight at the end with the guards? awesome.

Mortal Kombat

then Stargate

then Star Wars

then Skinemax

then Zombies

Lost hitchhiker! LOL!

This Alain Moussi guy who i never heard of, just has zero on-screen charisma. WTF. Why’d they pick this joker?

Batista looked the part and menacing but, the movie he was in just sucked so bad. He wasted there. JCVD & GSP was the only parts watchable but, they were in the wrong movie as well.

Overall, Kickboxer Vengence was a peice of poorly made, written, casted, and edited garbage. Watch the original instead, it’s such a classic and superior in every way.

I think we can all agree this movie is a 10 compared to Kickboxer Vengance…

^lmfaoooooo

Legend has it that SNK based King off of Cynthia. It sort of makes sense if it’s true since Art Of Fighting took place during 80s and she was one of the hottest martial arts stars during the mid 80s to mid 90s.

It’s funny because Michelle Yeoh didn’t even know chinese when she made that film.

I don’t know what the fuck was up with the 80s and woman wearing their hair that short. Looking like cheesy 80s dudes. LOL!!!

Cynthia is a legend in American martial arts. Even as an 8 year old, I liked watching her stuff.
Amazing to see her in a movie in 2016, let alone with The Dragon.

Still my favourite movie of hers, probably cause it had Bolo in it too.

Can’t hate on Lady Dragon tho.
