Anyone into kung fu movies??

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
so I just saw redemption for the first time last night.

the action was like Jackie chan meets tonay jaa meets wwe. that's what the fight scenes were like to. very technical and detail oriented choreograph like Jackie, devastating moves like tony with some table breaking choke slams. it was a fun movie to watch. I like the fact that they didn't hold back on the gore. a lot of the fighting, stabbings and shootings were very gnarly

as for the plot, it was very shallow, very straight forward. go infiltrate boss's building, fight their way to the top to capture the boss. I can see how some movies may not want to drag out a lot of dialogue and go straight for the action. it seems to be their main purpose which is fine. but for me personally I always want a plot build up and some back story as well as character build. when done right they don't have to spend much time doing it.

but all in all it was a fun movie packed with fight scenes and action. I'll most likely watch the sequel some time this coming week

A bit behind Sumo lol, glad you liked the movie. I haven't see anything new. Lol, thinking about revisiting the Karate Kid, the original movies. My gf hasn't seen them.
 
yea I finally came around to it. saw it was showing while channel surfing and the title caught my eye, immediately thought of you guys, so I had to dvr it.

the karate kid 1 and 2 have always had excellent rewatch value

I can randomly come across either one of them on tv and be able to watch them. when I was a kid watching them, I really believed an old short man can beat up multiple opponents at the same time, lol

Lol, other than wax on and wax off, I remember Mr. Miagi using a kick to the groin, ..pretty effective :D
 
the rest of the sequels and remake were crap

I guess after one sequel it becomes too repetitive. struggling kid mentored by old karate master wins fight against bully at the end
 
Sweet! Next month I'm going to see The 36th Chamber Of Shaolin on the big screen!! There will also be a Q&A with the Rza afterwards!? :/
 
The Master Killer,is this a remake or the original?
 
Kool..I remember going to The Capital theater to watch martial arts movies on the weekends.Maybe one of the theaters here will do something like that.I can do without RZA and his commentary though.
