THE FIGHT REEL - Martial Art Films

[bamberfishcake]

Have to start this with the one of the greatest and by far the most well known....



Comparing what the film cost to what its grossed makes this one of the most profitable films ever made.

Interestingly, the ladies presented to the fighters to choose from were real ladies of the night and were paid more than some of the cast.

A great film....

Me too.

I have Ong Bak on DVD and my little girl ued to ask to watch the beginning. She used to love the tree climb for the flag.

I like The Raid 2. The Raid not so much but a rare sequel much better than the first for me. Early in the film in the toilet is one of the best scenes ever, so cool and pretty believable but pretty sure ive posted it somewhere on CM before so here's the club scene, pretty intense.....


A good series on Amazon a short while ago was The Longest Day in Chang'An. Couldnt stop watching it when i started, great story quite similar to 24 in that each episode is an hour of real time....
