All of those faux outrages on Twitter are nothing but a waste of time meant to siphon your people's attention and energy. To distract your minds and puppetering your need for escapism and an "easy" fight from what truly matter.

Illusions.

What in the CW indeed.. but you all deserve trash movies anyway for the amount of hate you threw at Zack for trying to elevate the genre to new heights. Stop defending Slop. Raise your standards. You all look dumb as fuck coming up with excuses for these weak DCU movies.

In one of the most thrilling moments from Righting Wrongs, the legendary Cynthia Rothrock proves why she remains one of the greatest female action stars of all time. Surrounded by multiple attackers, she unleashes a breathtaking display of speed, precision, and raw martial arts skill.

He said he look like Buzz Lightyear 😭

[EntertainmentBiz🎥 @RizviAzaad]

Is Buzz LightYear getting a mew movie? James Gunn absolutely sucks!!

Rothrock and Norton were phenomenal talents, but nothing they did in America ever came close to this level of complexity. The master behind the movement here is Tony Leung Siu-Hung, brother of the late Bruce Liang. Tony was a pro at making non-Chinese look and fight like Chinese opera-trained performers. He did this with very smart choreography and camera placement. Notice how the shapes here are mostly isolated to the upper or lower body.

In the 70s, the style was still mostly theatrical, and the entire body had to make shapes. Opera footwork is notoriously difficult; without opera training you just can't do it. But here he gives the performers a lot of leeway with the framing. Only the upper or lower body really have to worry about making shapes. And it looks fantastic and contemporary. Most of us can't do this, but we can kind of believe we can.

Another tool Tony Leung employed well was the edit. Many of his contemporaries like Corey Yuen, Meng Hoi, and Billy Chan were tied up with Sammo Hung, and their montage styles were all pretty similar. Same with Yuen Wo Ping's troupe Yuen Ga Baan. Tony's style is really no different, though his phrases are a bit longer at 10-20 moves (Sammo rarely went over 8 moves). He also relies on lots of impact, wires, and environmental interaction to break up the action, and being quite a kicker himself he was no stranger to leg shapes. And he had no reservations about putting a dude in a wig to sell a difficult move. The result is something super flavorful and eye-catching.

Tony Leung made an early entry into America with No Retreat 3, Superfights, and Blood moon in the 90s, which all have amazing fights for B films. He was well ahead of the curve. Ultimately, American stuntmen adopted this style but not until the early 2000s after Sammo and Yuen Wo Ping basically did the same thing here. You could argue that Tony Leung was the real pioneer, though.

@Lira_Galore_ this what i envision

[many face g0d @manyfacegd]

@Lira_Galore_ He was flabbergasted how a negro of such pimpage can skedaddle with such grace and minimal effort. 😂😂😂

[Nicole ✨ @BombshellCole]

@Lira_Galore_ @RayThachosen1 This nigga is shocked! 😂😂😂😂😂

[Izzy Glo” @lov3m3not_]

@Lira_Galore_ @FastLifeeMills No ma’am, you’ve got it all wrong

This is a pimp shuffle 🕺🏾

Nothin ‘skedaddley’ about it

[Lira Mercer @Lira_Galore_]

You ever seen a nigga skedaddle ? 😭

This is what I envision.

[Cvatik @CvatikPhoto]

Serious question, how does a 20 year old have enough money/connections to just "be" a director? I don't get how any of this works

[👑 @DahiyaKnight]

Gunn and his make up department team did their best to make him look as Henry Cavill as possible this time 😒

[questwho @questwho]

@Movies_analyst Benny said it was the other way around. Jackie was hitting him too hard.

[Graystoke @graystokev2]

@Movies_analyst JC legit blasted him on this

[Solatic Lunatic @solaticlunatic]

@Movies_analyst Seems like “struggled” should be the word that is emphasized because if you’re a world champion, especially in a striking martial art, you know exactly how and how much to throw your punches.

He probably got excited to stress test Jackie Chan on set and was playing around.

[DirtyNemo @DirtyNemo_]

@Movies_analyst Ppl had a lot of pride in their fighting capability back then.

I still laugh coming to learn of scenes when Martial artists/fighters got serious in the spar from those old films.

Everyone wanted to be the best and test it out.

[Avraham Adler @AvrahamAdler]

@Movies_analyst Sammo is a master of that craft himself. He knows excellence when he sees it.

[From the Cinemas @Fromthecinemas]

the candle bit is the one. Urquidez throws a spinning back kick and the wind off it snaps the candle flames out behind him in a single take. no trick, no cut.

Chan and Benny liked fighting each other so much they ran it back in Dragons Forever three years later. that one might be the better fight.
