ruddiger posted:The fight with Forsythe in Out For Justice is so viciously one-sided, it borders on the obscene. Then Segal stabs a corkscrew in the top of his head. Yeah, I wanted to post about that, William Forsythe doesn't even get a hand on him. You almost feel sorry for him, despite him viciously murdering dozens of people earlier in the movie. Also, that pool hall fight doesn't even need to happen, it's Seagal's character's provocation that it happens. He just goes in there, starts asking questions, and when he doesn't get an answer, he just starts beating up patrons. He's like the biggest bully in that movie. kiimo posted:Agreed.

MacheteZombie posted:Truth. I know this is from a while back but I had no idea this show was filmed here in Atlanta until I recognized the lot where the powered kids were hanging out in is next to a restaurant/club I used to live near. It's weird to see Atlanta becoming the Southern US's version of Vancouver.

His prison fight in 6 is legit and the fact that he fights Tony Jaa twice in 7 and it isn't ridiculous is huge. I even liked him in Brick Mansions.

Evil Mastermind posted:They've already said there's going to be an Iron Fist series on Netflix, but I wouldn't get my hopes up that they'd cast a non-white lead. Especially considering the character is white American, and a major driving motivation for half of his enemies is that he's an outsider taking honours that he doesn't deserve.

I didn't watch The Force Awakens, and I'm kind of surprised that shot's from Star Wars. From looks, I'd have guessed it to be a decently-budgeted-but-you-can-see-the-flaws sci-fi TV show, like Doctor Who or something.

It was also a completely pointless sequence that didn't further any characters or the plot. Easily the worst part of the film and very Abrams (hiding major plot convenience with a throw away monster is one of his favourite tricks).

I would argue that the original Star Wars movies have plenty of "pointless" scenes, but I guess this isn't really the thread to expand on that discussion.

LesterGroans posted:Star Wars is an incredibly tight, well-edited movie. Like, the only scene that I don't think flows that well is the Death Star PowerPoint presentation. A problem with Star Wars is that it's too tight. They spend the first half of the first movie trying to save Alderaan only for it to be blown up, and they scarcely talk about it after that. It's necessary to show why the Empire is so feared, but the whole galactic genocide thing clashes with swashbuckling tone. When you look past the cool heroics the entire four-movie saga is incredibly grim. I hated the whole Death Star 3 thing destroying a solar system because it was completely token. There was no build-up, no gravity, they destroy some planets we've never heard of, and the only thing you can say is "Well at least there were no named characters we care about in that supernova". I'm guess I'm just used space operas like LoGH where they painstakingly take into account every action and its consequence.

They're trying to get R2's message to Leia, who is from Alderaan. When its destroyed they find her on the Death Star and end up tagging along with her once they rescue her. At no point do Luke or Obi-Wan say they want to save Alderaan. Once they're on Yavin and it becomes clear that R-2 had the Death Star plans, and that an attack is imminent, having grief sessions with a therapist wouldn't have really been the best use of their time.

A GLISTENING HODOR posted:Tony Jaa and the dude(s) from The Raid really should have gotten huge American roles by now. Marvel already cast Finn Jones (Loras Tyrell from Game of Thrones) as Danny Rand/Iron First for the netflix series and well, good luck getting Marvel to introduce multiple versions of the same character for any length of time even if it is a part of the Iron Fist story.

You'd think at this point, someone was actively making sure the photography doesn't line up with the contractually-mandated order of names, just to gently caress with people.
