There was a case, EvilDollaR wrote about the filming of a film with a promising young stuntman Dean Alexandrou in the title role. The plot was about a guy who was stuck in a mysterious time loop, and for some reason...
Another star of B-action films and B-fiction, the Frenchman Olivier Gruner, recently decided to shake off the old days and star in Nevsky. What the result was, you can judge by as many as three reviews on our...
"Ip Man 3" is a certain rehabilitation after the disastrous second part, which was more of a vulgar textbook on the ideological education of Chinese schoolchildren than a film, and the main character in it did not appear...
Of course, no one expected a miracle. To be honest. It was clear that no Dacascos would save a terminally ill person (if we take the version that he actually made this movie in reality :-). Despite...
“Riot” (“Riot”) is another variation of classic prison action films (“Prison”, “Tango and Cash”, “Death Warrant”, “Cruel Justice” and many others), which in many ways continues their traditions and, not embarrassed...
Well... let's start a review of the film with the "Russian Schwarzenegger", "Mr. Universe" and Hollywood actor Alexander Nevsky - "Showdown in Manila" :) I'll say right away what I expected from the film. Of course a good movie...
One of the most active B-action actors is Lorenzo Lamas, who, like Gary Daniels, is constantly filming (more than 130 films!!!!) and not writing about him on this site would be a sin. IN...
We waited for this for a long time and got it - Nevsky, Dyuzhev, Tagawa, Hughes, Van Dien, Dacascos, Carrere, Rothrock, Gruner and, you won’t believe it! Don "Dragon" Wilson - in the super-mega-thriller - "Showdown in...
Once I heard that in Yakutia, it turns out, they also film action films. So I went to the trailer for "Heroes. Battle for the Cup." Afterwards I watched the film itself, it’s short -...
Bolo Yen Tzu will soon exceed 70, but even at his advanced age he looks good - it’s just a pity that he no longer acts in films. Before moving on to...
I saw Gor Vardanyan’s first film by chance, more than 10 years ago, on cassette tapes. It was “Day of the Eclipse” and then the film “liked” me. Then the age of high-speed Internet came and I was able...
At the time of writing this article, Alexander Nevsky’s film “Showdown in Manila,” where he “brought everyone together,” has not yet been released, and expectations from it are contradictory. On the one hand, the actors play there...
When I wrote reviews of hand-to-hand action films, one of the users complained that I write little about modern stuntmen and directors from Russia and the CIS. I’ll say right away - do it...
B-movie legend, multiple karate champion, founder of Tai-Bo, prototype of the character DJ from "Street Fighter" and Zack from "Dead or Alive", and also just a good fitness instructor, Billy Blanks recently celebrated his 60th birthday.. ..
Jeff Wincott, taekwondo fighter and B-action actor (that is, action films with a low budget and/or “straight-to-DVD” compared to a “typical Schwartz action movie”, but still keeping fans glued to the screen...
While "Showdown in Manila" has not yet been shown or reviewed, I am doing reviews of old action films and their heroes, some of which will be filmed by Nevsky-Kuritsyn. Today I'll go through a little...
I want to talk about a film that I noticed and remembered back in 1997-98. The film itself was shot at the end of combat cinema, where martial arts played a dominant role. The whole boom of "films...
Like the already mentioned Gary Daniels and Don Wilson, kickboxer Jerry Trimble also wanted to act in action films, exchanging sports fame for movie fame. As a child, I came across action films...
If in European cinema a special place for me on the border between scary and funny is occupied by Roman Polanski’s masterpiece “The Vampire’s Ball”, then in Asian cinema on a similar pedestal stands “Encounters with Ghosts 2” directed by Ricky Lau (by the way, the creator of the whole...
In one of the discussions of my reviews, someone mentioned perestroika hand-to-hand fighters. Among them was Kim In Ho, who starred in two films in the post-perestroika era. I watched "Screw" a long time ago...
You can watch it once
The film is not bad, but the recent "City Hungter" is better in terms of action.
To be honest, there is no particular principle... when there is more time, an “old man” is added, when there is less time...
Not a bad idea. But I don’t understand something, on what basis are profiles added? And legends...
