If you think that the weird sub-genre of action movies called "blaxploitation" has long gone out of fashion, you'll probably be right. But from time to time, films come along that are meant to remind us of the times when such films were popular in grindhouse cinemas in the United States.
action comedy "Secret Brother" (2002) director Malcolm D. Lee was just one of those. Surprisingly, 17 years later its sequel appeared. Yes, not just with anyone, but with the star of hand-to-hand action films Michael Jai Whitereplacing Eddie Griffin in a central role.
Directed the new film Leslie Small (“Rats”), and wrote the script Ian Edwards ("Rotten Times") and Stephen Mazur ("Liar, liar").
The plot of the sequel again tells the story of the coolest spy who loves disco and Bruce Lee films named Anton Jackson and his fight against a racist criminal organization led by a super-villain nicknamed The Man. But the main character is now supported by his younger brother Lionel, who must try on the role of the savior of the black people, and the whole world as a whole, by joining the secret organization "Brotherhood".
Besides Michael Jai White (“Undisputed 2”, “Triple Threat”), the film featured: Vince Swann (TV series "Contempt of Court"), Isabel Fretheim ("Valley of Death"), Gary Owen ("Village Highway"), Layla Odom ("Hail 2"), Barry Bostwick (“The Indestructible Spy”) and other actors.
The comedy was released immediately on DVD and in online cinemas. November 5 2019 years. We offer you a teaser of the film for viewing.
Let's continue our selection today with a hand-to-hand action movie a la "Hardest Impact" with Bolo Yen called "Bare Knuckle Fighter" (Bare Knuckle Brawler).
The film's screenwriter and director is listed as Joe Gavalis, whose assets deserve attention only as a thriller "Crucial moment" (2017)
Synopsis: While investigating the mysterious murders of two underground fighters, undercover detective Joey Calderon is killed. Joey's half-brother Steve returns to the city to find and punish the killers. He, like his brother, is infiltrated into the organization run by the Santo crime family. It is there that underground tournaments without rules are held for the amusement of rich people.
The main role in the action film was played by a martial artist Pete Passaro (“Turning Point”), and the rest of the cast includes: Martin Cove ("The Karate Kid", "Cobra Kai") with his son Jesse Cove ("Bare Fists"), as well as Danny Trejo (duology "Machete") and Deborah Twiss (TV series "Blue Bloods").
The film has appeared on DVD and Video on Demand services November 5 2019 years.
A trailer for a new film starring a famous action hero from the 80s and 90s has appeared online. Dolph Lundgren called Hard Night Falling (former "Four Towers").
The film was made by an Italian producer and director Giorgio Bruno, known primarily for his horror films "Almost Dead" (2016) and "My baby" (2017)
Synopsis: Michael Anderson is a former Interpol agent who retired in order to restore relationships with his wife and beloved daughter. Together they decided to spend time in an Italian villa. However, the holiday is spoiled by a gang of mercenaries led by Goro, who is trying to find a chest of gold hidden in the villa during the reign of Mussolini. Anderson has no choice but to call his team of special agents to save his family, who are left hostage.
Along with Lundgren, the action film's ensemble cast includes: Natalia Bern ("The Expendables 3"), Andrea Scarduzio ("Genius"), Hal Yamanouchi ("Wolverine: Immortal"), YC Joyce (TV series "Commissioner Rex") and others.
Interestingly, Lundgren was originally supposed to play the role of the main villain in the film, and the protagonist was supposed to be Scott Adkins. But five years have passed since work on the film began. During this time, Dolph got the role of Michael Anderson, and was supposed to play the role of the villain Steven Seagal. But even here, as they say, it didn’t burn out. As a result, the Japanese became Lundgren's main opponent Hal Yamanouchi.
Another curious fact is that one of the main roles in Hard Night Falling played Natalia Bern, who has already collaborated with Dolph in the recently released action movie "Acceleration".
This long-term construction will appear directly on DVD 10 декабря 2019 года.

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...
