American producer, screenwriter and director of independent films Johnny Woo (“The Chase”, “The Joker Card”) released a short film in 2015 "Wuxia: Martial Arts Tango", and has since worked hard on the sequel, which became a feature-length film.
During the filming process, it became clear that Wu was turning out to be a completely independent project, after which they decided to rename the film "Immortal Combat: Code" (Immortal Combat: The Code). The film, which is a fantastic action movie in genre, was filmed for three years and has now become available to a wide audience.
The plot tells the story of five warriors of the mysterious brotherhood “Five Elements” who fight with an equally mysterious corporation for the so-called Code - a substance that can save the Earth from pollution that threatens all life on the planet.
The following took part in the film: Ben Zgorecki ("Wuxia: Martial Arts Tango"), Crystal Painter Collins ("Hey Mister Postman!"), Keith Collins ("Wuxia: Martial Arts Tango"), Matt Kane (“Project E.1337: Alpha”), Ben Garten (“Maximillian”) and others.
The film is available on Amazon Prime 1 September 2020 years. They say that “Immortal Battle” has already been translated into Russian.
There was also a release of another independent action film - "Find and destroy" (Search and Destroy), in which the role of the main villain was played by the Honored Master of Martial Arts of Russia, athlete and actor Sergey Badyuk.
Director's film Danny Lerner, who is known for his B-grade horror and action films "Direct contact" with Dolph Lundgren, filmed entirely in Bulgaria.
Synopsis: Intelligence officer John Cutter loses his entire squad in battle while trying to free hostages from the captivity of the brutal Ukrainian arms dealer Igor Rodin. After this, he decides to end the war and leaves the army. However, three years later he is offered a private contract to eliminate that same arms baron, and the ranger has a chance to take revenge...
The role of the protagonist was played by an American Dylan Bruce (“Uncontrollable”), and in addition to his company Sergei Badyuk (“Wear”, series “Gogol”) are: Julian Kostov ("The Fall of London") Tim Fellingham (TV series "Vikings"), Bashar Rahal ("Eagle Way"), Anastas Srebrov (“Poddubny”) and other actors.
The film should be released on DVD 16 2020 October, the, but in Russia "Find and destroy" You can already watch it in online cinemas. But is it necessary? Decide for yourself by watching the trailer.
Another independent project is getting closer and closer to its audience. It's about hand-to-hand comedy "Paper Tigers" director Quoc Bao Tran, information about which we we are tracking since 2017.
The project is interesting to us because of the big names from independent action cinema who are attracted to "Tigers".
Let us remember that the film is about three friends who, in their youth, seriously practiced martial arts under the guidance of a sensei (Roger Yuan), who replaced the boys’ father. Years have passed and now the three friends are no longer young people struggling with life's problems. However, the sensei's murder brings a man going through a divorce, an overweight insurance agent and a down-on-his-luck MMA trainer back together to find out who did it and get revenge.
The main roles in the film were played by Alan Yoon (TV series "Rebirth"), Michael Shannon Jenkins ("Undisputed 3") and Ron Yuan (Mulan series). The roles of the young main characters went to famous stuntmen Yoshi Sudarso ("Cowboys") Peter Sudarso ("Power Rangers") and Gui DaSilve (“On the ropes”) The rest of the caste includes: Roger Yuan ("Mulan") Matthew Page ("Shot into the Void") Mark Poletti ("Made in Chinatown") Keiran Tamondong (TV series "Warrior") Yuji Okumoto (“Nemesis”) and others.
Let us remind you that the fight choreography in the film is done by the talented Ken Quitugua ("Unlucky Stars", "The Contender") with his stunt team ZeroGravity Stunts.
Premiere "Paper Tigers" has already taken place, but at the film festival Fantasy fabric. The creators took their project seriously and want to take it to various film festivals before its official release. For example, the screening will take place at the 43rd Asian American Film Festival, which will last from October 1 to October 11, 2020. Bao Tran posted an excerpt from the film online, in which the main characters encounter young kung fu hooligans, played by stuntmen Andy Le, Brian Le и Philip Dun.
Well... It’s unlikely to reach the mass audience "Paper Tigers" will arrive this year, but next year we really hope to see this film.

Thanks for posting. Future plans include a review of discs for the anime “The Crying Killer,” a trilogy with…
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...
