December has burst into our calendar, and we are breaking into the first stage of summing up the results of action films for 2021! We think you will have something to offer in the presented categories, since many potential hits of 2020 have been postponed to 2021.
Yes, we provide the opportunity to nominate nominees a month before the end of the year, despite the fact that several major releases on our topic are planned for December. Well, we are not asking you to cover the entire list of nominations at once. Write first what comes to mind first, then add to it.
As last year, the FFI editors have prepared for you material, which highlights 2021 movie releases you might have missed. This will help you form a clearer opinion on each category.
Summing up will take place in three stages:
Stage one. Proposal of nominees.
Traditionally, the FFI team publishes a list of nominations, in each of which site visitors and VK groups will be able to propose one or more options. It would be great (for everyone) if you gave reasons for the choice.
Stage two. Vote.
Just before the New Year, when all the belated releases come out and we have collected the maximum number of options for each category, we will launch a phased voting on the website. We remind you that votes can be cast for three nominees in every category!
Stage three. Article analytics.
After each voting stage (five nominations per week), the site’s editors will collect all the results, after which the painful, but at the same time interesting stage of analyzing the winners in all nominations will begin. Our articles will be published on the website fight-films.info.

Dmitriy,
What stood out to Iko this year?
Lee,
“Snake Ice”, “Wu Wars”, and to be honest, I’m tired of the same names Donnie Yen, Scott Adkins. I don’t like Yuwais, let’s award Jamwala or Tiger Shroff, it’s still diversity.
Dmitriy,
Just because someone is annoying? An interesting approach... Don't get me wrong, I'm also a fan of Iko, but, honestly, he hasn't produced anything outstanding lately). Just like Tony fucking Jaa!..
Lee,
No one gives it away like that anymore. I already talked about Scott Adkins, Jackie Wu generally seems to be quitting fighting soon, Donnie Yen has been preparing for retirement for several years now, and maybe he missed someone.
Dmitriy,
"Wu Assassins" is a series from last year. And in any case, we award awards by voting. And the people vote the way... the way they vote.
Lee,
I guess I'm interested too :)
Martial arts film 2021 - in my opinion, nothing of quality has appeared here in 2021.
Blockbuster 2021 - "No Time to Die" - a normal conclusion to the Bond storyline in the person of Daniel Craig.
Best Screen Fight 2021 - Donnie Yen and Nicholas Tse in Crossfire
Best Action Movie 2021 - "One Shot" and "Nobody"
The best action movie actor 2021 is Donnie Yen - he needs to move away from the image of Ip Man and star more often in urban police action films.
Best Action Film Actress 2021 - Han So-hee from "For Revenge"
Combat disappointment of 2021 - "Mortal Kombat" - trash in the bad sense of the word (((fans of the franchise I recommend going through the story modes of the games MK 9, MK X, and MK 11, respectively. Everything there is much better staged and directed))) and "The Last Mercenary" - a stupid French comedy with unpleasant actors, I watched it only out of respect for Van Damme. This is how Jean wasted himself (((It’s a pity...
Asian Action 2021 - "Crossfire"
Historical, fantasy or wuxia film 2021 - "The Last Duel"
Sports drama 2021 - "Non-football"
Independent Martial Arts Film 2021 - "Paper Tigers"
Short Action Film 2021 - Nothing to Offer
Action series 2021 - "In the name of revenge"
Comeback of the Year - Hiroyuki Sanada in Mortal Kombat
The most anticipated film of 2022 is John Wick 4
Vladimir Egorov,
Thanks for the candidates! But why is there nothing to offer in the Short Film category? Has nothing interested you in a year?
Danil Chupakhin,
Hello Danil! Somehow I don’t follow short films on YouTube, so I didn’t watch anything. As an exception, I store Eric Jacobus’ duology Rope n Dope on my hard drive, and that’s it.
Vladimir Egorov,
Why follow them on YouTube when the editors of this site constantly select the best and publish them? :) Use the "Short Films" menu tab or the "short films" tag and you will find a lot of interesting things in terms of hand-to-hand action.
Danil Chupakhin, I looked at what the tag has for this year - there’s not even that much goodness, but enough to definitely exclaim: fire! - there is almost no such thing at all. I'll vote for Rykwert alone, it seems.
Well, maybe also for the comics concept about some devilish guy, who was filmed in a gym among the boxes and special effects were applied. I don't remember the name.
By the way, some good ones appear on the Tricksters channel (“Harry Potter and Voldemort’s Wake”). Recently there was a “Production like in Hollywood, but without the money” - a Jackichan-style fight with a bicycle. A little earlier, “Fight 360 Degrees” - interesting camera work.
Wave,
Then we look forward to hearing from you the full list of nominees, including this year’s short films from Godefroy ;)
