Bruce Lee wanted to make this show in the early 70's. Now we have Banshee creator Johnathon Tropper and Justin Lin giving us a western Kung Fu show. Anyone that has watched Banshee knows what you are in for. Set in San Francisco's China Town in the 1870's (Deadwood ish era). The various Chinese Tong's are fighting for survival against the local police, Irish gangs and each other. By bringing in tens of thousands of Chinese workers to fill the demand for cheap labour rebuilding the USA after the Civil War.   Andrew Koji/Ah Sahm: Fresh off the boat and on a quest to find someone, he speaks English and ends up working for one of the local Tong's. He's got mad skills.  Hoon Lee/Wang Chao: Fixer with hands in many pies.  Olivia Chang/Ah Toy: Local Madam to the Tongs, she's got all the prime booty.  Dean Jagger/ Dylan Leary: Irish Gangster, your man is a bad motherfucker.  Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5Dt-5Pv61Q

the best line from ep 2 "Where you from, Officer" "Savannah Georgia, Sir" "Ah... you're not Irish" "You make that sound like a character flaw" "It's no loving attribute"

Chas McGill posted:He's great at outlining their motivations without condoning them. He also good at building up their badassery before the inevitable showdown with the protagonist. I'm looking forward to that duel given they'll have totally different fighting styles. I'm looking forward to seeing NotBurton gently caress someone up.

Episode 5 was loving outstanding. The after credits walkthrough was pretty cool too.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:I'm gonna be honest, I sorta felt the opposite; a lot of why I loved Banshee was because it was willing to just go full-on ridiculous. It was just spinning so many plates at any given time that it's kind of hard not to marvel at. To be fair they kinda got shafted on the 4th season.

Open Source Idiom posted:Yeah, just look at the posters the show produced. They're all comic book covers. Banshee did have a comic book, technically. https://www.comixology.com/Banshee-Origins/digital-comic/35597

Brett Chan was the stunt coordinator, he did Marco Polo, Iron Fist and he's doing Snow Piercer. No fight choreographer listed so i assume it was him. Marcus Young from Banshee went to Marvel for Ant Man and Infinity War as a stuntman

Jett deserves it's own carefully articulated thread. It's been stellar since the first minute
