If you can’t follow through with some of your creative choices, maybe make other choices to begin with. If Miraculous can’t follow through with its lead character being French-Chinese, maybe they shouldn’t have written her to be French-Chinese in the first place and people wouldn’t be rightfully complaining nearly as much now

As far as I’m aware, nobody forced the people making Miraculous to have their main character be a French-Chinese kid. The moment they made that creative choice, they found themselves with a creative challenge: writing a show with a mixed-race kid living in France in the 2010s as its lead, something that is still super rare in most French mainstream media. 

It could have been really great, progressive, even. 

Now, how do you follow through with that creative choice? How do you make sure you don’t fumble the bag when this is a key aspect of the character? 

How about you hire people who know their stuff, who can maybe even draw from their own lived experiences? Or if you don’t want to have them be part of the creative team for whatever reason, maybe have them be part of an easy-to-reach consulting team? Or, in the worst of cases, you do your best and hope to get it right by working you butt off, you do the reading and the researching yourself and hope that this is enough.

But Miraculous, as a production, hasn’t put a lot of effort into doing any of these things seriously. Well, that’s not entirely they had consulting folks for all the non-contemporary Chinese iconography, some writers went to China a couple of times it would seem. Is that sufficient? I think not. This isn’t a show being made by amateurs in a bedroom, this is a multi-million dollars franchise.

The writers think that stereotypical costumes and bits of decorating are good-enough shortcuts for the depiction of complex cultures, but god forbid the characters ever actually talk about that, at all. Marinette’s mom is super in touch with her Chinese heritage in her day-to-day life but her daughter isn’t and that is never addressed once in almost 80 episodes but you better believe we know all about Rose’s love for perfume or the principal’s antics because that’s a priority apparently.

Maybe there’s a point to be made about Marinette not being in touch with her Chinese heritage hidden somewhere in the show, but Miraculous is anything but subtle about what it wants the audience to notice, so what could have been a very interesting perspective turns out to never have been there in the first place.

Let’s have that very clumsy rice flour metaphor and also let’s have the racist grandpa be not-racist after a kid he’s being racist against has proven him that she doesn’t deserve to be treated like that personally.

Let’s have that one uncle that appears once, barely interacts with his niece and sister at all, and let’s call it a day. Oh, and let’s have him turn into the villain of the week too so that we can spend even less time with him as a regular person (and also let’s have his food-related attacks be sushi and pizza, famous Chinese delicacies, how fitting for a Chinese chef from China).

Let’s have a magical mystery Chinese man who does bogus mystical massages for a living, dressed up like Mr. Miyagi, the Japanese Karate master from the Karate Kid movies. 

Let’s make sure that every Chinese character knows Kung-Fu also, especially that lady baker wearing a Cheongsam, because, well, wouldn’t it be funny to have the Chinese woman do the Kung-Fu pose just like in the movies? Isn’t it funny, you guys? She’s barely a character but you better believe she drinks tea and knows Kung-Fu! Wow! 

Amazing show, amazing writing choices, absolutely no weird orientalist nonsense here! 

The people producing and airing the show are absolutely fine with that, don’t you worry about it. If they weren’t, the show wouldn’t be airing as is.

And the show remembers that its lead is indeed French-Chinese when she needs to go to another city because of her white crush. Not to visit the Chinese side of her family, mind you, who cares about them.

Fantastic job, you guys, really knocked that one out of the park.

If you can’t follow through with your creative choices, make different choices. It’s that simple. If you can’t deliver on the choices you’ve made, this is called a creative failure.

Why ‘The Karate Kid Part II’ Deserves More Respect

So guess what film I finished watching today? Of course, the Karate Kid franchise is considered iconic mainly for its first entry; Wax on Wax off, Skeleton fights, Sweep the Leg and the Crane Kick all cemented its legacy that allowed Cobra Kai to also be such a success. But imagine my shock when the approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes for Part II is 45% - 21% lower than the Jaden Smith ‘The Karate Kung Fu Kid’ version (and Part III is scored 15%, which is also super harsh but hard to debate outside of the magnificence of Terry Silver). Originally this was just gonna be a general post of how much I enjoyed retreading Part II, but upon seeing that score I had to give it my ‘Deserves More Respect’ posts.

It is an off-chance, but if you haven’t watched this film there will be spoilers within, I encourage you to watch it before reading, and maybe watch it again if you have so it’s fresh in the mind

Let’s start with a controversial point shall we? There are several parts where Part II is actually better than the original. Now I know! There’s a lot about the original which is iconic, but nostalgia does blind you to other shortcomings and while it’s easy to sell the first part because of its mystique, a sequel has the added pressure of rising above and developing on old and new themes set by the predecessor. The Premise In case you decided against refreshing your memory. Karate Kid Part II starts with a recap of Part I, a bit of content that was meant to be Part I’s final scene (in the script, not for filming) and then a timeskip. Ali with an i is gone - brutally dumping Daniel for some Football Player before Senior Prom and after crashing his car, Daniel’s mother is in Fresno for work and Miyagi has received a letter from his home Okinawa in news of his father’s fading health. The stage is set for Daniel and the audience to learn more about the iconic Mr. Miyagi and the life he left behind. Okay, so there is bad in this film Part II deserves respect, but it’s not perfect. It definitely gets messy near the end with Daniel’s antagonist Chozen, he mainly took beats from Johnny Lawrence in physically confronting Daniel when he could with a bunch of no-named goons and he fought pretty similarly to Johnny in catch counters and leg strikes. The opening recap did take a lot of time too, while the ending remained somewhat abrupt having just beaten up Chozen to embrace Kumiko (who had a delayed recovery after being punched once). While not bad, a fair amount of retreaded content felt like downgrades of the original; Chozen and Sato lacked the charisma of Johnny and Kreese, the crane kick was far more impressive than the drum technique and the Tournament setting was grander than the O-Bon festival. But, there are Iconic Moments in this film too Part I may have the Crane Kick and the Skeletons and the Training and Sweep the Leg. But people may forget that Part II had awesome moments too.

Like Daniel chopping through 6 Sheets of Ice! If that isn’t one hell of a power play I don’t know what is. It is a moment genuinely impressive in and outside of the 80s cheese universe of Karate Kid, and it gets referenced in Season 2 of Cobra Kai.

Also referenced in Season 2 is Miyagi vs Kreese. While this is the intended ending for Part I, it certainly acted better at the start of Part II, especially given that is foreshadows the situation Daniel finds himself in at the end of the movie. This moment is equally iconic as it completely encapsulates the character of both senseis - Kreese the confident brute brought to a sniveling mouse when size and power failed him and Miyagi the cool-headed and vastly more intelligent fighter still with the cheeky prankster lightness to him as he honks the scared shitless Kreese on the nose. Perfect.

While I did want to cite the Tea Ceremony as well I think the more iconic moment for Part II had to be Miyagi chopping the log during the storm. The storm itself is a very well-done scene which unmasks several characters in the face of adversity. True tension, worry and stakes are sold as the village are in danger of the cruel whims of nature, an act which is all too real for Sato when the house he’s in collapses on him in the calm before his scheduled deathmatch with Miyagi. Not only is this again some great foreshadowing by the rule of three (Daniel asking if Miyagi can chop a log like Sato is doing with a banner and then Miyagi and Sato meeting and seeing Sato fail to chop a log) it proves a pivotal point where Sato turns from aggrieved antagonist to repenting ally. A great show of power and friendship as Miyagi metaphorically breaks the rift between their friendship that weighs Sato down. Okay, we hear you, but how is it better? I do have to preface that I do still love Part I, I have to because in pointing out where Part II is better I have to pick at Part I’s faults. While the ending is messy Part II definitely has much better pacing, until the skeletons scene Part I doesn’t really pick up because it has to set up, Part II while it does recap doesn’t need to worry about it. Giving Miyagi the main plot was definitely Part II’s strongest suit. Part I profited from Miyagi being the ‘mysterious old teacher’ but learning a lot more about his humanity and history was engrossing and it allowed positive development for Miyagi and Daniel, especially their bond as a surrogate father and son when Daniel personally goes out of his way to support Miyagi on a very personal matter. The main characters maintain their charm as well, still a lovely array of life lessons in Part II more than just finding balance, Miyagi teaches Daniel through words and action on taking time to breathe, to refocus when imbalanced, to forgive rather than to harbour hate, mercy, selflessness and humbleness

“never put passion before principle. Even if win, you lose.” - Mr. Miyagi

The scenes involving Miyagi and his father were some of the most deep and emotive of the series up until Cobra Kai, some still haven’t been topped such as Miyagi’s dad’s first words to his son or when Daniel talked about when his father died.  And say what you will about Chozen, he does have a lot of Johnny vibes but a lot of the character we believed was Johnny due to nostalgia goggles was more fitting of Chozen’s manner. The story did a great job in making sure Chozen was always an asshole, at times Johnny did at least display honour and grace but Chozen was always sore about stuff and quick to claim dishonour even when he was in the wrong. Contrary to Johnny it’s more about his family than it is about a girl, which allowed a lot more freedom in the plot. Whether you felt Elizabeth Shue’s Ali with an i was prettier than Tamlyn Tomita’s Kumiko is up to personal preference, but the messy-haired Kumiko definitely had a slightly improved presence in Part II than Ali did, with actual focus on her own feelings outside of attraction to Daniel, her ambition to become a dancer directly linking to the O-Bon Festival - which in turn related to the Drum technique - as well as the delicately beautiful Tea Ceremony scene and actually contributing to the final fight (granted Ali wouldn’t be allowed to). Also Daniel didn’t try to eat her face which is a general improvement to the romantic subplot, extra applause has to go to Tomita here too because this was legitimately her first role - Shue had her second so that’s impressive too - and both women had good careers going forward. The increased stakes definitely worked in the favour of Part II as well, as sequel culture is forced to do, but by moving to Okinawa (actually filmed in Hawaii) we opened the door to better suit Miyagi’s world while keeping Daniel the fish out of water. I can’t speak too much for appropriation because there is still kinda some ‘white saviour’ undertones but I didn’t feel like Japan was treated negatively in this light, its culture of the O-Bon Festival and the Tea Ceremony was treated with the utmost respect and explained without pandering, the flute music had definitely stepped up its game for the soundtrack as did the imagery. Can also appreciate that Daniel does go for the Crane kick when fighting Chozen but is parried. Added hat tip has to go to costuming too. A lot of costumes would have to have distinct Kamon such as Sato’s twin fish and Miyagi’s bonsai on a lot of their clothing

Between Sato and Miyagi the colours of their clothes often code their emotions towards each other, with Sato usually in grey and Miyagi in white or cream, when Sato and Miyagi prepare for death they are in black and when Sato wants forgiveness he moves to a lighter shade. While Part I also used black and white to differ Johnny and Daniel, Part II put Chozen and Daniel in the more Japanese-themed Red and Blue. While both men wear red, blue and whites at time, Chozen’s clothes almost devolve from the white he debuts in as his darker side comes out before flat out embracing yellow after his chance to prove his honour in the storm is refused (and he’s in white then), while Daniel often moves to Red or red tones even in his blue shirt. Kumiko also moves from white to blue, sometimes even purple, in set up to the final fight to have the primary colours stand out in the colourful crowd of the O-Bon festival, but even in the blue Kumiko had red to pair her connection with Daniel. Also her Yukata at the festival is just stunning, the Great Wave off Kanagawa print is a nice touch.

Anything else we should know? It might not be much else about the film itself I can tell you, but I do appreciate something I’m starting to call ‘The Rocky Connection’ when it comes to Karate Kid. Like Part I’s ‘You’re the Best (Around)’ was shortlisted for Rocky III, Part II’s song ‘Glory of Love’ was shortlisted for Rocky IV’s theme, losing to ‘Hearts on Fire’, Bill Conti also chose to score this film instead of Rocky IV. I like to pair this with Daniel’s Rocky-esque character, he has that same kind of swagger but a lot more naive and childlike. Martin Kove also gets a nod because those bleeding hands were legit, he had an accident on-set and the footage was kept for the final cut. Tamlyn Tomita wasn’t the only film debut for Part II, B.D. Wong of...well, several famous roles including but not limited to Shang in the animated Mulan, Dr. Wu in the Jurassic Park franchise, Hugo Strange in Gotham and many more, also had his debut here in a minor speaking role when he’s handing out flyers for the dance party to Kumiko and Daniel before the Ice Chopping Scene. So, why does it deserve respect A film that adds to a beloved character in a respectful fashion without having really any god awful moments does not deserve a 4.5/10 rating. It may not have as emphatic an ending or as great a villain but it has a captivating plot and a good pace, better stakes and much more emotionally driven and responsive scenes. A lot of effort and dedication went into this film to explore new dimensions of the main characters in a fashion which was enjoyable and at times heartwarming. And characters are given human moments, even Miyagi confesses himself not to be perfect and it keeps each character grounded. Even to this day parts of Part II are remembered fondly rather than the campness that Part III had outside of Terry Silver and his magnificent ponytail, the fondness also continues to reflect in Cobra Kai with homages and fan theories of Daniel going to Okinawa again and even re-encountering Chozen. Not to mention it grossed $113m on a $13m budget and got nominated for a Best Original Song Oscar (losing to Top Gun) Part II was a good and enjoyable film which deserves far more credit than to be rated this low, for that it deserves respect.

What's on your mind right now? That it’s Monday again tomorrow. I feel like I’m starting to get burnout :/ I’ve definitely noticed I haven’t been being 100% at work lately...but it could also be because the weather is crappy hot again, which makes it a lot harder to work and keep focused.

Do you know anyone personally who is a nurse? Yes, I have several relatives who are in nursing.

Only you - it always has been. - O

Do you obey authority or deliberately disobey it? Obey for the most part.

Is there anything in your room that is an Octagon? What is it? I don’t think so.

What odor can you smell in the room you're in now? The neutral scent my aircon is blowing out.

Do you get offended easily? I think sensitive would be a more fitting word.

Have you ever been to Ohio? No.

Do you ever say Oi? Sure, but not frequently.

Do you spell it OK or okay? I use both; I don’t have a preference. What I avoid is ‘K,’ though.

[bihansthot]

If the cryo bros were anywhere close to "normal"... what kind of movies would they watch, what would they do in there spare time other than training and meditating?

Unrealistic Modern!Sub-Zero Bros. HCs incoming!

I can see Kuai being into intellectual and artsy films, the types that make you really think about things and the true meaning of life and stuff like that. I think he’d be pretty into Sci-Fi too.

Faves: The Shawshank Redemption, Star Wars franchise and The Matrix

Bi-Han would be a total action movie junkie, the dumber and more explosions the better, he’s the type that goes to a movie to have a good time, not to think. Bi-Han would be big on Fantasy too.

Faves: Fast & Furious franchise, Jurassic World (he is partial to this because his girlfriend ((me/the T-Rex)) is in it) and the Lord of the Rings trilogy

They both love Kung Fu films and pointing out how inaccurate they are as well as Harry Potter. Kuai is a Hufflepuff and Bi-Han is a Slytherin, cliche but fitting.

As far as down time activities that’s easy for Bi-Han, sex, if he’s not getting laid he’s being a dick and posting stupidly hot selfies on Instagram. I can also see Bi-Han being into clubbing, he likes to show off his body, get attention, and get laid what better place to do all three than going clubbing?

Kuai isn’t an insatiable fuckboi (I 100% mean that with love Polar Bear!) like his brother so he’ll spend his down time reading and probably commenting helpful things on Reddit to help people who want to get more active out. He’s actually working on starting up a YouTube channel to further help people by uploading beginning workouts and mediation tips and techniques. He’ll also do tea review videos once a week.

Best Martial Arts Movies on Amazon Prime Right Now

https://ift.tt/3iGgPxj

Search ‘Martial Arts Movies’ on Amazon Prime and you’ll get over a thousand results ranging from the classics to the campy, to the critically acclaimed. It’s an overwhelming library for the uninitiated and the mother lode for stalwart fans of the genre. There are so many gems buried in Amazon Prime that digging out the favorites is dirty challenging work but extremely rewarding.

When it comes to martial arts, Amazon Prime has a killer Kung Fu collection. The ‘80s were the ‘Golden Era’ of Kung Fu films when Hong Kong film studios cranked out films faster than any grindhouse ever. Many Hong Kong filmmakers put out up to half a dozen films a year, and most have hundreds of credits on IMDb. This glut of Kung Fu films spread to every Chinatown ghetto theater on the planet. And like with horror, American networks broadcasted late night Kung Fu Theater shows because there was so much cheap content available.

Consequently, Amazon Prime’s Kung Fu film selection leans heavily that way, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t include some non-Chinese favorites too. Martial Arts movies cross over to all other genres and nations. There are comedies, romances, horror, fantasy, sci-fi, and art house films. From countless cheesy low-budget exploitations, many so funky that they’re totally awesome, to the brilliant ground-breaking works that are staggeringly sensational, here’s some classic jewels and hidden treasures currently included with Amazon Prime membership.

Fist of Fury (1972)

Despite his fame, Bruce Lee only lived to see three of his martial arts movies premiere because Enter the Dragon and Game of Death were released posthumously. His impersonators are innumerable, so many that Bruceploitation is its own genre.

But Fist of Fury is the real Bruce in all his nunchuck spinning glory. It’s loosely based on the history of the Chin Woo Athletic Association, which remains one of the largest international martial arts organizations to this day. When Bruce shattered the ‘No Dogs and Chinese Allowed’ sign with a soaring flying kick, it became a battle cry for the racially oppressed worldwide, firmly cementing Bruce as the world’s first Asian global superstar.

Come Drink with Me (1966)

Long before Charlize Theron went Atomic Blonde, Cheng Pei Pei blazed a path as Golden Swallow, the mysterious invincible swordswoman, and all female action heroines are in her wake. Fiercely independent and savagely lethal, Cheng delivers several sophisticated long-take fight scenes, the hallmark of real Kung Fu skill, with the poise and precision built upon her foundation in ballet. Cheng is remembered in Hollywood as Jade Fox from Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and played the matchmaker in Disney’s live-action Mulan. Note that Amazon Prime also has the sequel, Golden Swallow, but it’s not nearly as good.

Once Upon a Time in China (1991)

This tour de force from director Tsui Hark and Jet Li launched a six-film franchise and a TV series. Jet plays Wong Fei-hung, a real-life folk hero and Kung Fu master who has been depicted in well over a hundred films and TV shows. Set during the late 19th century, the film examines themes of Western colonization and Chinese cults, and while blatantly nationalistic, it captures Jet in his martial prime and contains some of his finest fights.

Amazon Prime also has Once Upon a Time in China II, which is an excellent sequel, however the third installment (not on Amazon Prime) falls apart, allegedly due to disputes between Jet and Hark.

Ashes of Time Redux (2008)

This was internationally acclaimed director Wong Kar-wai’s first stab at the martial arts genre. It’s sumptuously artsy and laboriously dystopic, not one to see for the action but the art. Based on a classic wuxia (wuxia is Chinese for martial arts genre books and film) titled The Eagle Shooting Heroes, Wong simultaneously filmed a parody titled after the book with the same cast. Wong did the Redux after the original print was lost, salvaging what was left, reediting and re-scoring it. 

(Prime US only)

The Assassin (2015)

Director Hou Hsiao-hsien won Best Director at Cannes for this magnificent epic, which was also submitted as Taiwan’s Foreign Language entry at the Academy Awards. Starring the ever-glamorous Shu Qi, who made an early Hollywood crossover attempt with The Transporter, The Assassin is based on another wuxia tale that’s parallel to The Manchurian Candidate but instead of Korean brainwashing, it’s 9th century Chinese sorcery.

Ninjas All The Way Down: The Mysterious World of Godfrey Ho

By Craig Lines

The exquisite filmmaking makes this spectacular–panoramic landscapes, lavish costumes, intricately detailed sets, all gorgeous. Every shot is a stunning composition of light and shadow, and the camera lingers on each frame with ponderous and quiet respect, the kind that film students will gush over for years.

Fearless Hyena (1979)

When people cite Rush Hour to reference Jackie Chan, it just goes to show they don’t know Jackie at all. Long before Jackie crossed over to Hollywood, he made dozens of films that truly captured his astounding Kung Fu skills, unrestricted by U.S. insurance liability. His late ‘70s period was particularly ripe because he was in peak physical shape and first creating his unique acrobatic comedies. Remember that chopstick dumpling training scene between Po and Shifu in Kung Fu Panda? In Fearless Hyena, Jackie and his shifu (James Tien) do it in live-action, no wires, no CGI, and the choreography is absolutely mind-blowing.

Wheels on Meals (1984)

Jackie Chan earned his Kung Fu prowess from being trained from childhood in traditional Chinese Opera. Many of his classmates also became stars in martial arts film. This is one of two collaborations between him and his two martial brothers, Sammo Hung and Yuen Biao (the other is Dragons Forever).

A modern comedy shot in Barcelona, the chemistry between Jackie, Sammo and Yuen is magical as they bring the fastest three-person sparring scenes ever captured. On top of that, Jackie faces off against real-life kickboxing champion Benny ‘The Jet’ Urquidez in what is considered by many as the greatest fight scene ever filmed. 

(US only)

Knockabout (1979)

Knockabout is Yuen Biao’s first lead role after dozens of supporting roles. His acrobatic skills are unparalleled, stronger than Jackie’s because his body frame is built like a gymnast. Sammo Hung’s girth has typecast him as villains and buffoons. Nevertheless, he’s a leading director and choreographer and serves as both in this film, on top of playing a comic beggar who trains Yuen in jump rope monkey Kung Fu (that’s right–jump rop –you have to see it to understand).

It’s a slow build past some goofy comic hijinks, because Yuen’s skills improve over the course of the film. In a fight against Hoi Sang Lee, Yuen pummels so many goose-egg bruises into his noggin that he looks like the coronavirus. But once the training begins through to the final fight, Yuen and Sammo show why they are legends in the industry.

Dirty Ho (1979)

When this film came out, the title wasn’t as funny as it is now. But it still works in a way because this is one of the best Kung Fu slapstick comedies. Starring some of top talent from Shaw Brother studios, including Gordon Liu, Wang Yue, and Lo Lieh, it’s full of the stylish long-take choreography and blazing stunts using real fire long before CGI.

The discreet Kung Fu challenge while sampling rare wines out of crazy cups is ludicrous fun; the sort that only master fight choreographer Lau Kar-leung can deliver.

The Eight Diagram Pole Fighter (1984)

Here is another classic from Gordon Liu and Lau Kar-leung, but serious and somber. Alexander Fu Sheng, a prominent leading man, died in a tragic car crash during production, making this his final film. His character suffers PTSD after losing his family in a horrific opening ambush, but his storyline dangles unfinished.

Based on the legend of the Yang family generals, the untimely death tugs hard on the heartstrings for anyone in the know. 

Return to the 36th Chamber (1980)

Just one more Gordon Liu and Lau Kar-leung project, this is the sequel to The 36th Chamber of Shaolin, which is also amazing and available on Amazon Prime. However, Return to the 36th Chamber has such an odd concept for a sequel that warrants special attention.

Movies

The 36th Chamber Trilogy‏ – Essential Kung Fu Movie Viewing

By Craig Lines

Liu plays a swindler impersonating the Shaolin monk San Te, the character he played in the first film. When his clan is oppressed by the Manchus gang, Liu sneaks into Shaolin, only to be deceptively trained by the real San Te, then returns for vengeance. His clan are cloth dyers, which makes for colorful pools for villains to plunge.

Liu’s uproarious rooftop Kung Fu and his battle with Wang Lung-Wei’s bench-fighter gang are outstanding. Kara Hui has the best retort after Gordon tries to play off his lack of Kung Fu, claiming it’s only for “universal peace,” and not revenge. She claps back “Huh! That’s a stupid Kung Fu.”

The Lady is the Boss (1983)

Kara Hui (aka Kara Wai) is one of the greatest Kung Fu divas of all, yet she’s only known by true devotees of the genre. If you’ve never heard of her, here is one of her finest comedy vehicles. Set in modern-day Hong Kong, Hui plays an American master returning to save her father’s Kung Fu school after his passing. Lau Kar-leung is the eldest student in charge (also the choreographer) and he resists her attempts to modernize.

Long take fights are staged in a topless club, a disco, and finally, a gymnastic gym replete with rings, parallel bars, and a beam, perfect for the choreographic shenanigans only Lau can bring. Gordon Liu appears with hair, which feels wrong because he built his reputation on playing bald monks. 

Crippled Avengers (1978)

From director Chang Cheh, the “Godfather of Kung Fu Films,” Crippled Avengers stars four members of the Venoms crew, from Chang’s classic The Five Venoms (also available on Amazon Prime).

Read more

Movies

The Five Deadly Venoms: An Essential Martial Arts Movie

By Craig Lines

It was repackaged as The Return of the Five Venoms (and also Mortal Combat), however it is its own standalone masterpiece and has nothing to do with the original beyond the cast.

Lu Feng (Centipede from the Venoms crew) gets his arms chopped off and replaced by iron arms (a plot device that RZA echoed The Man with the Iron Fists). Lu and his father, played by the rough and tumble Chan Kuan Tai, cripple the heroes, who must then walk the road of vengeance while handicapped. The portrayal of the disabilities is dated (arm tied behind the back for the amputee, eyes closed for the blinded) but the choreography is ingenious. 

Five Elements Ninjas (1982)

Another echo of The Five Venoms from the sanguineous Chang Cheh, Five Elements Ninjas showcases the director’s unique eye for fantasy. It’s an orgy of weird fantasy weapons and ultraviolence, bloody fight scene after bloody fight scene, a cult film of truly epic proportions. As the title says, the ninjas are based on the five elements.

The gold ninjas don gold lame suits and switchblade shield hats. The wood ninjas look like rejected apple trees in The Wizard of Oz. If you turn this film into a drinking game where you take a shot whenever blood is spilled, you won’t make it past the first half hour. 

The Web of Death (1976)

What is the ultimate Kung Fu WMD? It’s a tarantula that roars like an elephant and shoots acidic webs, sparks, and death rays, and it decimates the wuxia world. The Web of Death has everything a cult film requires: crazy weapons, cross dressing, romance, complex set-pieces, halls of traps, including acid pits, spiked poles and dragon-headed sparkler cannons, silly superheroes and villains in costumes that would make MCU heroes blush. Filled with jaw dropping WTF moments, it’s a real treat for anyone into cheesy over-the-top Kung Fu cinema.

The Bride with White Hair (1993)

Based on a wuxia novel, The Bride with White Hair is a surreal plunge into the Kung Fu subgenre of Fant-Asia which blossomed in the ‘90s. It’s a doomed romance between rival cult members set in a world of swords and sorcery that stars Brigette Lin in the spurned titular role and the dreamy heartthrob Leslie Cheung.

What makes this stand out was the visionary direction of Ronny Yu. His pre-CGI special effects hold up surprisingly well. Lin’s characterization of the bride was so compelling that it spawned an homage in The Forbidden Kingdom and a remake in The White Haired Witch. The Bride with White Hair II is also available on Amazon Prime which reunites Lin and Cheung, but without Yu’s direction it’s not nearly as special. 

(US only)

Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame (2010)

Fant-Asia has been revitalized with the advent of CGI. Detective Dee and the Mystery of the Phantom Flame marked a triumphant return to form for director Tsui Hark. Armed with quixotic special effects, Hark casts Andy Lau as the legendary detective Di Renjie, who is like a Tang Dynasty Sherlock Holmes. Wuxia films are akin to comic book movies, filled with glaringly overdone heroes and villains, super saturated color schemes, and a lot of flying about.

It’s high fantasy wirework in front of CG backgrounds with physics-defying fight choreography by Sammo Hung (Kung Fu physics are not subject to the laws of gravity). Most of all, it takes unexpected turns like the old Fant-Asia story arcs have always done. 

(US only)

Tai Chi Zero (2012)

Director Stephen Fung took Fant-Asia another step into an emergent subgenre of Shanghai Steampunk (Legend of Korra is another example). It’s an action comedy about the legendary forefather of Tai Chi, Yang Luchan, in what was meant to be the launch of a trilogy. However, it was filmed back-to-back with the second installment, Tai Chi Hero (not free on Amazon Prime), which was released only a month later and that proximity depleted their box office returns.

Nevertheless, Tai Chi Zero was an Official Selection at several notable international film festivals because it was so stylish and funny. Both films end on cliffhangers in anticipation of the next chapter, but Tai Chi Hero loses the momentum of its predecessor, except for the final cliffhanging tease. There’s been no further development on the final chapter Tai Chi Summit since Tai Chi Hero flopped. 

(US only)

JCVD (2012)

Jean-Claude Van Damme opens this French film with a remarkable long take fight, showing he still had it on the brink of turning 50, but it’s not really a martial arts film. He plays a self-deprecating caricature of himself, although not as comedic as his lampooning self-portrayal in the Amazon Original Series Jean-Claude Van Johnson.

There’s some top-notch cinematography including more complex long takes, remarkable displays of technical skill, and directorial timing. But it’s all about Van Damme’s confession scene when he breaks the fourth wall and discusses his filmmaking process in that weird recursive, artsy French film way. It’s a long-take monologue, and Van Damme nails it emotionally with a heartfelt confession that’s not so much amazing acting as it is brutally honest. He lays it out, bares his soul, and surprisingly, it’s a sympathetic soul. It’s a truly captivating scene, a dramatic triumph that no one ever saw coming, completely redefining Van Damme as an actor. 

(US only)

The Man from Nowhere (2010)

This was Korea’s highest grossing film that year. It’s a gritty and brutally bloody tale of a pawnshop owner, played by Won Bin, who unwittingly receives a camera bag filled with stolen heroin, attracting the attention of the drug ring gangsters.

However, he’s a retired special agent with fierce combat skills, tossed into a ghetto tale with exotic dancers, organ harvesting, an innocent child who needs protection, and gang wars. Won Bin won many dramatic accolades with the five films he made, including Taegukgi and Mother. This was his final one to date and he sells the ultraviolence with remarkable panache. 

(Prime Video in the US, rent only in UK)

Kundo: Age of the Rampant (2014)

This is another outstanding Korean martial arts film, set in the Joseon period. It echoes Robin Hood, complete with a fighting monk like Friar Tuck, a Maid Marian type, only she’s a keen archer, and a Little John character wielding a shot-put ball on a rope for brutal ultra violence. Ha Jung-woo stars as the lead, a butcher who wields butcher knives, which just adds to the bloodiness. The fight choreography is fun and sanguineous, and the characters were well fleshed out, even the villain. Like a lot of Korean cinema, it takes some surprising turns in the details, little scenes that feel fresh in their presentation. And the panoramic shots are visually epic. 

(US only)

Redeemer (2015)

Marko Zaror brings an exotic Chilean actioner full of fight choreography that’s merciless, witty, and precise. Zaror is cut and yoked like a beast. He can catch great flying kicks air, roll well for nods to MMA, and handle complex continuous fights. Redeemer includes several long take scenes with the camera aggressively circling around battle, showcasing a masterful command of action and cinematography.

Set in Chile’s cool seascapes and weather worn graffiti-covered ghettos, Redeemer has a strong Catholic theme, lots of crucifixes and pondering about divine justice, which totally works as atmosphere for this fascinating fight flick. 

The Octagon (1980)

Before Chuck Norris became an invincible meme, he churned out a handful of Hollywood martial arts feature films. His third effort, The Octagon, co-starring Lee Van Cleef, is one of his best. It’s a ninja tale, pitting Chuck against noted masters like Richard Norton, Tadashi Yamashita, and his brother Aaron Norris, fighting his way into a ninja terrorist camp where the central ring is “the Octagon.” It was this film that inspired Jason Cusson to design the trademarked Octagon used in the Ultimate Fighting Championships. 

Ninja III: The Domination (1984)

In the ‘80s, there was a proliferation of cheesy Ninja films and Sho Kosugi dominated the trend. This is one of those movies that is so horrible, it’s awesome. And it’s Sho’s masterpiece. Lucinda Dickey was a Solid Gold Dancer, who starred in the breakdancing films Breakin’ and Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, which bookended Ninja III. While she wasn’t a martial artist in real life, she has the moves, adding to the huge stable of martial actors who started as dancers (even Bruce Lee was a cha cha champion).

It’s incredibly dated with references to video games, aerobics, and the most gawdawful soundtrack ever. The choreography is horrible; Sho overacts whenever it comes to selling a punch; it’s all about Lucinda who tries–really tries–to act her way through a ridiculously dumb story about being possessed by a ninja. But the final sword fight has a ninja zombie and it’s the funniest example of what we had to endure during the ‘80s ninja craze. 

(US only)

Shaolin Dolemite (1999)

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

There was Oscar buzz about Eddie Murphy’s depiction of Rudy Ray Moore in the biopic Dolemite Is My Name, but if you haven’t seen a Dolemite film, you really don’t know. Moore played Dolemite half a dozen times, but ironically in this film, he plays Monk Ru-Dee instead, and this is the only one with any real martial arts in it.

Moore took the cuttings from a 1986 Taiwanese film titled Ninja: The Final Duel, and spliced himself in to create his own story, and it’s just so cray. Beyond Moore, there are bizarre characters like the drunken Sam the Spliff, the topless Ninja Ho, and the coonskin cap wearing Davy Crockett. The story barely makes a lick of sense, but who cares? It’s mother-effin Dolemite.

Guilty Gear and... Capcom’s History Gaps

Lately I’ve come across people who seem to think that just because they’ve played on the competitive end of Guilty Gear for a while, that they know all there is to know about its history.

They also seem to think that things like the Dustloop combo are all that kept the game alive in an era when Fighting games (and FG content) weren’t coming out as frequently as they are today.

The “dark history” that people frequently refer to is mostly the dry period between Capcom’s Street Fighter games, particularly after Third Strike leading in to Street Fighter IV.

Which, if you can believe it, happened around the very “start” of the BlazBlue franchise.

Now, I’m not one to criticize too harshly if I can help it, but, the issue I have with this perspective some fighting game historians have is that it is heavily “Capcom-centric”.

Let’s rewind the clock a bit, to the year 1998.

Guilty Gear... was just one of MANY fighting games to come out in that very busy year.  Street Fighter Alpha 3 arrived just at the tail end of that same year as well.

But, there were a ton of other fighting games just coming out there around that time: Tekken 3, Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, Tobal No.1, Super Smash Bros, Ehrgeiz, Soul Calibur, SNK Gals’ Fighters, Dead or Alive 2, Mortal Kombat 4, Battle Arena Toshinden, Tekken Tag Tournament, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Fighters Megamix, Dragonball Z Hyperdimension, KOF ‘98, Virtua Fighter 3, Sonic the Fighters, Fighting Vipers and I haven’t even mentioned Capcom versus SNK or Marvel Super Heroes or the X-Men Versus games.

From around 1996-2001 we had all these great games that WEREN’T made by Capcom.  And by the time 2002 rolled around Guilty Gear XX had just “invented” said Dust Loop.

But was Guilty Gear the only fighting game in existence in 2002?

Gundam Battle Assault 2, Virtua Fighter 4, Bloody Roar 3, Smash Bros Melee, Twisted Metal Black (if you like fighting games with cars in them), Tekken 4, Legaia 2: Duel Saga (if you like fighting in your RPGs), Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance, Dragonball Z Budokai, Soul Calibur II, Cyber Troopers Virtua-On MARZ, Zone of the Enders 2nd Runner (if you enjoy hidden versus mech battles).

 2004 you had Sonic Battle, TMNT2: Battle Nexus, Dead or Alive Ultimate, Godzilla: Save the Earth, Dragonball Z Budokai 3.

2005 had Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower, InuYasha Feudal Combat,Soul Calibur III,  Dead or Alive 4, Tekken 5.  ‘06 had Samurai Shodown V, Final Fight: Streetwise, Rumble Roses XX, Fight Night Round 3 (for a change of pace), 2007 had Odinsphere (if you like action beatemup games with a flair for combos), Bleach: Heat the Soul, Virtua Fighter 5, 2007 had Soul Calibur IV, Smash Bros Brawl, Battle Fantasia, and YES, Guilty Gear 2 Overture came out in 2008, infamous as it was.

Even if games like Castlevania Judgement aren’t your cup of tea, they came out in 2008, but so did Dissidia: Final Fantasy, in case you hadn’t noticed.

So yes, by the time 2009 rolled around and everybody in mainstream leapt on board with Street Fighter IV (breathing a collective false sigh of relief that fighting games had been “reborn” according to their false notions), meanwhile, they neglected games like Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus on the PSP, Punch-Out!! on the Wii, Garou: Mark of the Wolves on XBox Live Arcade... oh and did I mention BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger that came out that exact same year?  KOFXII, Soul Calibur Broken Destiny, TMNT: Smash-Up on the Wii, Samurai Shodown Sen, NeoGeo Battle Coliseum,  later Arcana Heart 3, Dissidia Duodecim 012 as well... with Ultimate Marvel VS Capcom 3 just on the horizon.

Look... the point I’m trying to make here is that maybe those Blue and Yellow Capcom Lenses you wear aren’t showing you what’s really out there.  What good games exist out there don’t always begin with the words “Street” and “Fighter” in their titles, or “Marvel” in them either for that matter.

While it’s true there was a gap between GG2 Overture and GGXrd, that “gap” had a ton of games in it: beatemups, action games, action-RPGs, and other cross-genre novelty games that you might have missed if all you were worried about was the “death of your game scene”.

But a single combo like Dustloop, or whatever mechanics you think Street Fighter was the progenitor of, do not define the era.

The so-called “dark history” of fighting games, was only dark if you looked at it through Capcom’s lenses.  Even PC fan-made doujin fighting games were making strides back then, in case you weren’t paying attention.  Melty Blood in 2002, Big Bang Beat in 2007, The Rumble Fish in 2005.  I could list a whole lot more here, but I’ll let you do the digging.  Heck, M.U.G.E.N. came out in 1999 and is still active to this VERY DAY.

As much as I tout and support ARC System Works games, and Guilty Gear in particular... that has allowed me to see more clearly what “REAL” good games have existed out there.

GG has always been a niche fighting game, but it’s not the only niche game in existence... but playing such a series has truly been an eye-opener about what games I’ve missed out on over the years.

I’m sure there’s plenty more I haven’t mentioned... but fundamentally, as much as people like to say Street Fighter was the progenitor of modern fighting games, and as much as they love to compare it to other games... I will perpetually state that Street Fighter isn’t everything... it does not DEFINE everything.

I mean, whatever happened to games like Double Dragon and Yie Ar Kung Fu?  Do people mentally forget those games existed on purpose?  In fact, the beat-em-up genre is closely tied to fighting games... one only need look.  Action games, Action RPGs, Action Strategy games... all of these are connected in that huge family tree of games.  Even Tetris is a versus battle game nowadays.

So, if you’ve learned anything from this long rant... it’s to look at all the games you’ve missed out on.  Don’t just play the games you like just because you like them.  Check out other stuff too!

PERSONALITY INFORMATION

JUNG TYPE ISTJ. MORAL ALIGNMENT True Neutral. ANGER Hanzo will usually be more irked than really angry. When it does happen though, Hanzo will burst as violently as a volcano, shouting and pacing around. He is very likely to say things his usually politer self would never dare to (and, if the target of his anger is a person he cares about, things he will regret for a long time). If someone gets him angry enough to get physical --- they won’t survive it. What will immediately trigger his anger, though, is a display of racist behaviour. APPROACHABILITY He is normally stoic and unapproachable. This behaviour is only enhanced during his dissociative events (see further down). INTELLIGENCE TYPE Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence. IQ~ 80 NEURODIVERGENCE(S) PTSD, ADHD, DPDR. Read here. AT RISK None.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

HOMETOWN Hanamura, Kanto, Japan. CURRENT RESIDENCE He is a wanderer, but it is very likely to find him in Taipei, Taiwan. LANGUAGE(S) Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, English, bits and pieces of other languages (Filipino, Cantonese Chinese, Hindi). SOCIAL CLASS Low. LEVEL OF EDUCATION Average. He has always been a terrible student. PARENT #1 Sojiro Shimada, father. PARENT #2 Keiko Shimada, mother. SIBLING(S) One younger brother, Genji Shimada. PET(S) He wishes he could adopt 10 Akita Inu. PRISON TIME? Once in Taiwan for disorderly intoxication, he spent a night in prison to sober up.

VICES + HABITS

SMOKES? No. DRINKS? Yes, and he is an indulgent drinker. It is safe to say Hanzo is an alcoholic. DRUGS? No. VIOLENT? Not regularly. (see above). ADDICTION(S)? Alcohol. SELF-DESTRUCTIVE? Yes, although never enough to be considered ‘suicidal’. He has quite many unhealthy behaviours (drinking, disturbed sleep patterns, unsociability) but he stops right before the brink of the void. HABIT(S) Can one really be considered an early bird if they rarely ever sleep? When he can afford it, he is a creature of habit: he eats at the same hours every day, he takes tea halfway though the afternoon, he goes to the same places. He enjoys doing things he knows he likes. HOBBIES It’s something he rarely has time to practice, but Hanzo loves finger painting and painting in general. He is not a very good artist, he most likely ends up drawing basic shapes in bright colors, but it really soothes him. Practicing his bow skills is also something he enjoys greatly. LIKES He harbours a great passion for martial arts and he practices different disciplines (his close combat style is a mixture of Karate, Kung-fu, Taekwondo and boxing), but his true love lies in kenjutsu even if he hasn’t gripped a sword in the last 19 years. He likes grooming and generally taking care of his appearance (his mother was always very passionate about this) although some days he will be too tired to keep up with the whole routine. Sensorially speaking, his favourite smell is fresh, clean water and cut grass and he prefers savoury food over sweets. His favourite dishes are ramen, wonton and katsudon. He is a Chinese tea junkie. DISLIKES Small talks, social events with people he doesn’t know or doesn’t care for, talking about himself or his past, people referring to him as “weird” et similia. He hates racism with a passion (see here). Because of his dyslexia, he has grown a little prejudiced against reading. He doesn’t like very soft or gelatinous food (except jam). He doesn’t particularly enjoy fish. TIC(S) He tends to do a lot of sounds with his mouth instead of actually speaking (‘tsk’ indicates scepticism, ‘tsz’ is negative for something, ‘mh’ on the other hand is the positive, and so on). He plays with his beard while he is thinking. He bites his nails a lot. Bruxism. OBSESSION(S) Finally making peace with his past, proving to himself he is not an evil man (although he is scared to find out he may not be a good man either). COMPULSION(S) Forcing himself not to sleep.
