 This week's Fight Scene Friday™ scene is an homage to the Gunsmith Cats manga by Kenichi Sonoda! It stars Natalie Padilla, Vonzell Carter, and Michael Lehr, and it was written, directed, choreographed, shot, and edited by Emmanuel Manzanares. I remember loving this scene back in the day because at the time I watched it, I was thinking about a way to use a northern lights suplex in a fight scene.
