Has anyone seen Re:Born? It stars Tak Sakaguchi (the main dude from Ryuhei Kitamura's Versus) and was directed by that movie's action director, Yoji Shimamura. It came out last year in Japan and did the festival circuit but there's been no word on any kind of distribution as far as I know and I wanna see it  The trailers aren't the best but the action looks good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAgEMsF-U5U

Re:Born is the tits. The writing is awful and the plot is total nonsense but who gives a poo poo, Tak Sakaguchi ghosts like 300 guys in this fucken movie with a gnarly looking karambit, a shovel, a pencil, a pencil launched from a pistol magazine, his fists, several sticks carved into stakes, and other dudes. It's awesome. Highly recommended. It only got a PAL release so I had to import it though. Another highlight is the Japanese voice of Solid Snake/Big Boss, Akio Otsuka, hamming it up for the camera in every scene he's in. It's like a nonsensical version of The Man From Nowhere with a fraction of the emotional depth and 1000x more bananasness. He's so good at dodging bullets that at one point he's surrounded by an entire squad pointing guns at him and they all drop their weapons and pull out knives. At one point he fights a girl who can't be more than 14 or 15 years old and she tries to suicide bomb his rear end and she was played by Tak's real life daughter so that scene must have been a hoot to shoot.

Snowman_McK posted:I cannot wait. Just need a mate to get really drunk with while we watch it. Any suggestions for a drinking game? We had one for John Wick: drink when he reloads, sip a spirit when he switches weapons and finish your drink when he kills someone in close combat. One drink every time Tak kills a guy so fast you can barely tell what he did. One drink every time Tak rolls his shoulders back before going on a murder spree. Finish your drink every time you realize the story is trying to be profound by saying something about the nature or war or what it means to truly be a soldier.

Such an amazing moment of "what the hell is he up to?" turning to "oooooooh poo poo!" in a split second. That's Rogue Nation, right? I just saw Fallout (it was great! maybe cut 15 minutes tho. and I'm tired of monologuing villains) and I haven't seen the previous two in a while so I was gonna fire those babies up.

Soldier is such an underappreciated gem. It's that "lord forgive me, I got to go back to tha old me" but as a feature length movie. Kurt Russel kicks rear end. It's got Loreena McKinnet on the soundtrack and it somehow works. He shoots one (1) guy with a rocket launcher for no reason when shooting him would have worked just fine. The villains get got in such a satisfying way. It also has quite possibly the quickest Chekov's Gun, where we see the training montage in the beginning. Teenage Todd shoots through a fake hostage to get to the target behind it, and then like one fucken minute later he shoots an ACTUAL hostage to the target. Why did they even have the setup?? Who cares! Also there's a bunch of cool references in Todd's service record:  Plissken Patch! MacCready Cross! The BFG!!! I love Soldier.

Franchescanado posted:I watched Marked For Death with Steven Seagal, and it's really fun. The main villain, Screwface, is a blast. I'm a sucker for anytime the bad guys--in this case a Jamaican drug cartel--uses voodoo and black magic to stop the hero. Probably my favorite Seagal flick. My favorite Direct to Video Seagal flick is Belly of the Beast. It's so loving stupid and over the top, it's an absolute blast. He has to go to Thailand to rescue his daughter yada yada, he teams up with an old buddy of his who turned into a Buddhist monk after accidentally murdering a woman during a shootout years earlier. Out of nowhere the villain hires an evil priest (???) to subdue Steven but then his friends from a nearby Buddhist monastery do a...prayer....spirit bomb??? To protect him. It's beautiful. Here, watch this poo poo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaNGJdyt2Ds This movie is what would happen if Big Trouble In Little China wasn't comedy/satire.

I said it before in another thread but you know you're in for a good time with Lockout when the opening scene is just a close up of Guy Pierce's  face and someone gives him a cigarette. He says something snarky, gets punched and his face goes off screen, and when it pops back up the cigarette is comically bent at a stupid angle and he spits it out. I was cracking up.

NoneMoreNegative posted:This was a fun movie, but the plot takes the hero and his small squad off into a forest about 3/4 of the way through and the scene goes on too long by about double, I think they shot a bunch of ‘cool’ stuff and then didn’t have the heart to cut any of it. I would agree with you if I didn't feel like the sequence was constantly trying to one up itself by the minute. He's dodging sniper shots, he gets into a fight with a suicide bomber teenager (fun fact; that's Tak Sakaguchi's daughter!), he pulls out two kamas, he's using sticks, then a collapsible SHOVEL? And THEN he pulls out his super karambit looking death blade?? I enjoyed myself.

Ninja 2 is so much fun. Scott Adkin's Japanese pronunciation is so horrid it veers right into comedy. Plus it has Kane Kosugi! Really great fight sequences and I'm glad the director was smart enough to just let the camera hang back and let Adkins and the rest of the stunt team do their thing.

Pierre Morel and Oliver Megaton are easily the two worst action directors around today. Neither of them can frame or block or shoot a dialogue scene that well, let alone an action sequence. I still don't know how Megaton didn't just retire after the fence jump in Taken 3. Tak3n.

mobby_6kl posted:I had to pause The Night Comes for Us about an hour in because... there was too much action? I dunno if I should just get out of the thread but it felt like int the first half maybe like 10 minutes didn't involve random mooks getting owned and it just kind of blends in all together after a while. Finished the second half and it was fun, but imo there's no reason it had to be two hours long, sometimes less is more. The writing and story are pretty much garbage but I thought it was worth it for the action, particularly the final fight. I think I rewound it twice. It's on par with Rama vs. Karambit Dude in the Kitchen in The Raid II. I'll agree though, there was no reason for it to be two hours. I didn't have nearly enough meat on its bones to support that.
