Sometimes, to know that a particular country has produced a worthy film, it needs to be licensed by a well-known distribution company. In our case, such a company is Well Go USA. Thanks to the news of a recent release, we learned about the existence of a Malaysian hand-to-hand action film "Warriors of Silat: An Act of Death" (Silat Warriors: Deed of Death) 2019.
The film was directed by a debutant Aril Abu Bakar, who previously worked in the film industry as a stuntman.
Synopsis: the youngest son in a family that has long practiced the martial art of “silat” is not very interested in the business of his family name. He is a gambler, a drag racing driver and a street fighter who bets on himself. But everything changes dramatically when a criminal element comes to the protagonist’s family to collect his debt. At such moments, the family unites to fight back the bandits.
Some familiar names appeared in the film. Namron ("Pontiac's Revenge", "It's All Because of You"), Fad Anuar (TV series “KL Gangsters: Another World”), Azlan Komeng ("Son of Satan") and Megat Sharizal (TV series "Marco Polo"). For the remaining roles, Abu Bakar recruited athletes practicing silat who had not previously acted in films.
The film appeared in its homeland at the end of 2019, but there is a chance that "Warriors of Silat" more mass audience will see it will happen July 6, 2021. Then the film will be released on Blu-ray, DVD and on a specialized streaming channel Hi-YAH!.
Also, it’s time to talk about another action movie from Bollywood called "Radhe" (Radhe).
The film is a project of the writer and director Prabhudeva, which is known to viewers for such films as "Action Jackson" (2014) "Brilliant Singh" (2015) and "Fearless 3" (2019) starring Salman Khan. Prabhudeva's new action film once again stars one of India's most popular action actors in the lead role. Salman Khan, who looks pretty good for his 55 years.
The plot is quite banal for Bollywood stories: an honest and brave policeman is forced to confront not just ordinary bandits who have raged in the center of his district, but also a certain influential rich man who controls the entire city.
Besides Salman Khan (trilogy “Fearless”, “Bodyguard”, “Strike”, “Sultan”) took part in the film: Disha Patani ("Armor of God: In Search of Treasure"), Randit Hooda ("Tyler Rake: Rescue Operation") Jackie Shroff (“When You’re Left Alone”) and other actors.
Khan is dubbed by a member of the American stunt team. Vlada Rimburga - Chad Guerrero (“Stringer”, “Cyber”, “Crimson Mint”), who has been working as a stunt double for a Bollywood star since "Sultana" (2016)
The action film hits theaters in India 13 May 2021 years. For now, we can only watch the trailer.
Let's finish today's selection of trailers with a samurai action movie "Burning Sword" (in another release - "Baragaki: Unbroken Samurai"). This film was among those whose premieres were on par with "The sun doesn't move" and sequels "Kenshin's Vagabonds", postponed by a year due to the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
The director and screenwriter of the film is the venerable Masato Harada (“Battle of Sekigahara”, “Suicide Song”, “Criminal for the Prosecutor”), and the main role is given to the famous actor Junichi Okade.

"Geranium" - I'll have to watch it.
(oh, by the way, friends, can anyone tell me the films where there is good jiu-jitsu?)
Wave,
I'm afraid that jiu-jitsu is best shown in Hollywood projects, such as "John Wick", "Atomic Blonde" and others like them.
