I'm sure you've seen it by now, but here is the latest trailer for The Prosecutor, Donnie Yen's latest movie! Here is the synopsis:
A poor young man is wrongly charged with drug trafficking after being deceived. An ex-prosecutor investigates the case, uncovers a corrupt lawyer team's scheme, and restores justice despite obstruction from evil forces.
Donnie Yen, Kent Cheng, Julian Cheung. Ray Lui, and Francis Ng star in the movie. After a year and a half of work it's finally coming out. To say I am excited for this movie would be an understatement!
The Prosecutor opens on December 27, 2024. Hopefully a U.S. release comes soon after that!
On this Fight Scene Friday™, we have the latest short film from the Andy Long Stunt team! Here is the synopsis:
Two Kung Fu film fans, Andy and Sefa, have travelled to Hong Kong to visit the birthplace of Martial Arts Films. They have managed to catch up with HK stuntman Rodney Wong on one of his last nights before moving forever to Australia. Rodney has lost fate in the future of HK action cinema but Andy & Sefa will try to convince him how important it is for the young generation of HK Stuntmen to carry on the legacy of Martial Arts films made in Hong Kong.
This is a nice tribute/homage to 80s Hong Kong action movies, and the music from Above The Law/Righting Wrongs (1986) is a nice touch, too! Check it out! It is really good to see there are people out there trying to keep the 80s Hong Kong fight choreography style alive.
It's Yuen Biao's birthday on this Fight Scene Friday™, so let's watch a classic scene from Above The Law/Righting Wrongs (1986)! I love this movie, and I highly recommend watching it! It's one of Yuen Biao's best, if not the best, of his movies. Also, the director of the movie shows up at the end of this clip as the cop. That is Corey Yuen, fellow Peking Opera actor, who studied with Yuen Biao, Jackie Chan, Sammo Hung, Yuen Wah, etc. and became a great choreographer and director himself.
On this Fight Scene Friday™ we get a re-imagining of Rurouni Kenshin, as directed by Jay Kwon! This has some sweet sword/weapon choreography with some interesting characters. If this was a show or movie, I would watch it! Check it out!
Fight Scene Friday™ returns, and this week's scene is inspired by Jackie Chan! Here is the synopsis from the Description: "Hilarious action-comedy playground fight inspired by the signature Jackie Chan style. Omar Zaki is being pursued because of a special briefcase he has. Can he use his fighting skills to prevent the briefcase from being captured?"
The choreography is really good in this, and they captured the spirit of a Jackie Chan fight scene really well. Check it out, you won't regret it!
Check out the trailer for Life After Fighting; written by, directed by, produced by, choreographed by, and starring Bren Foster. Here is the synopsis:
A martial arts instructor is confronted with the disappearance of two of his students, leading him into a direct confrontation with a group of international child traffickers.
I barely found out about this movie today, so it's been off my radar, but dang the action in this looks awesome! I need to see this right now!
Life After Fighting is out now in selected theaters, and you can watch purchase it on places like YouTube and Google Play!
Completely out of nowhere, here is the trailer for a new Power Rangers video game, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind! Check it out right here:
Here is the synopsis of the game:
In Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, the team faces off against a robotic reincarnation of the Power Rangers' long-time nemesis. Robo-Rita has conjured a portal to send herself back in time so she can finally vanquish the Power Rangers by forming an alliance with her younger self. Working together, Robo-Rita and Rita Repulsa rewind, rewrite, and remix the past in an attempt to stop the very formation of the Power Rangers, altering the course of history. Will the two Ritas and their army of monstrous enemies from across the MMPR timeline finally succeed in destroying the Power Rangers? Or will these teenagers with attitude learn to work together and counter this catastrophic chronological collaboration?
Digital Eclipse is releasing this game, and I have to say... this game looks amazing! I am really interested in playing this game! I am a Power Rangers fan from day one, so I've been through its ups and downs media-wise. I played the awesome (if somewhat janky) Super Nintendo video games, but after that the games have varied in quality. This new game looks like the real deal! Not only is it a side-scrolling brawler/beat 'em up, but it has driving/racing, 2D first person shooter, and first person combat elements! Cool mix of genres in this game; I just hope it all meshes together to make a fun experience.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind comes out in late 2024. May the power protect you!
