still seeing people here and there complaining about Joe Taslim not doing anything "cool" in The Furious
Judo and other grappling arts are still gonna take a while before being seen as equally "cool" as punching and kicking, huh
Joe Taslim trained in taekwondo and silat, and even at his age the guy could’ve gone kick for kick with Joey Iwanaga. But he wasn’t playing a cop or a hitman, he was playing a journalist who practices judo recreationally.
The Raid 2 (2014) doesn’t just go bigger than the original, it goes for absolute broke. A contained survival thriller suddenly becomes an epic gangster saga packed with some of the greatest action sequences ever put on film.
