To be honest, this project was initially completely uninteresting, even when the main role was supposed to be played by Jason "Quote" Statham. However, over time, former stuntman J.J. Perry joined the film...
There is nothing wrong with trying to convey that same atmosphere of action films of the 80s-90s. And it is obvious that the kickstarter would not have been successful if it had not been supported by a decent number of fans who...
Indonesia has never been famous for its cinema, despite its large population and at least a developed economy. There are many reasons for this: and the fact that this is a former Dutch colony, so cinema began to develop relatively...
There are so many of them, such films, about how a loser, raking out everyone and everything, radically changes his life by touching the theme of combat, both in the form of some well-known style and hit...
Terry Gene Bollea, better known as “The Hulk” (i.e., Ambal) Hogan is a cult personality, and in his homeland he is known and loved as a wrestling star, we have this show...
I can’t say that I was really looking forward to this film, just as many years ago I was waiting for the first part of “The Expendables”, just as a couple of years later I was waiting for the second part (there’s Jean-Claude Van Damme,...
In the 2000s, it became more difficult with action films than in the 90s: no, they didn’t stop making them, they just moved from B-class films to C-class - or “directly to DVD” or...
Ah, Michiko... How many fans of martial arts films remember this fiery Japanese bodybuilder? In general, in the best Hong Kong action films, the villains were just as memorable as the main characters, which makes sense. Worthy...
As you can guess from the title of the film, this is another adaptation of the famous novel by Dumas. And their number has long exceeded a hundred in the entire previous history of cinema (according to Wikipedia, about 150)....
The first part of Extraction was a very solid, well-made action movie, albeit emasculated, never original and certainly not revolutionary, however, devoid of the obvious shortcomings of modern action cinema in...
“Fist of the Condor” is the fifth joint film between director Ernesto Diaz Espinosa and one of the most charismatic movie fighters of our time, Marco Sarror. By the way, Espinosa's sixth film is planned with Scott Adkins...
In connection with the death of the famous actor Sonny (Shin'ichi) Chiba from the consequences of Covid, I decided to honor his memory with a review of selected filmography, since comrade Chiba, in my opinion, receives quite little attention...
Sho (Sho) Kosugi is an epochal man, he gave us many films with his participation in the 80s and returned in the 2000s for the central role in “Ninja Assassin”. But, hand on heart, ask yourself...
Sambo is something that Russia can rightfully be proud of. Not cranberry nesting dolls or vodka, which foreigners stereotypically associate with Russia, but an excellent sport and an effective martial art, excellent...
Uff... When I watched this mega-masterpiece for the first time, I had a strong desire to trample it into the dirt, as it essentially deserves, but... After a while, no, I didn’t admire the masterpiece, it just came...
It’s good to talk about “Special Person” accompanied by Russian chanson. Hong Kong is the same old ataman whom the Chinese commissar took out with a saber, the ataman fell from his horse. Thieves' scamp, today the gang is going to play mahjong...
We are all well aware of films about martial arts such as karate or Muay Thai. But there are many other martial arts that, for various reasons, are not represented so often in films....

Let's hope for some decent hand-to-hand and bloody action.
The game is cool. I hope the series will be no worse.
Thanks for posting. Hopefully more comments soon.
