The Best Movie Fight Scenes

[Many a man (myself included) would sell their soul to have their head situated right under Kelly Hu's ass. But Scott Adkins doesn't seem too happy about it. Some people are never satisfied.]

The Tournament is, without a doubt, one of the most enjoyable action flicks this year. It's got nice production values, well choreographed action sequences, an exciting premise and, of course, the delectable Kelly Hu in a starring, kick-ass role, not to mention Robert Carlyle, Ving Rhames and Scott Adkins!!

Basically, the story goes like this: every seven years, the top assassins in the world gather to kick each other's ass. The last killer standing gets 10 mils in cash. This immediately reminded me of Mean Guns (1997), which has a similar plot line: 100 bad people are to eliminate one another. 3 survivors will share 10 millions cash. While Mean Guns was a shameful mess. The Tournament fares much better, helped in no small measure by a stellar cast. Kelly Hu, in particular, delivers a great performance as a beautiful and vulnerable yet very deadly assassin. I was very disappointed that Robert Carlyle's character is just an annoying alcoholic priest. He would no doubt have kicked ass as a killer.

Anyone, if you're in the mood for a brainless but extremely exciting and well done action movie, this is the perfect fix for you.

Ong Bak took the action scene by storm in 2003. I still remember the first time I saw it. I had to pick my jaw up from the floor afterward. Then those crazy Thai stepped it up a notch with Tom Yum Goong, which was a very bad movie with amazing action sequences. It also set the record for most broken bones in a movie.

And then, in the year 2008, Tony Jaa and his creative team wowed the entire world again with Ong Bak 2 (a very stupid title). Like I said, I haven't updated this blog for a long time but here is the clip, for those of you who have been living under a rock and so haven't yet watched this awesome movie.

Take the elaborate choreography from the best of Shaw Bro Kung fu flicks, add to it the ferociousness of Bruce Lee and the hard-hitting, fast and furious action from Donnie Yen's best works, and of course, a healthy dose of creativity from the Tony Jaa team, not to mention beautiful cinematography and perfect editing (as in: no MTV-style bullshit) and you got yourself an instant classic. The fights in Ong Bak 2 are simply jaw-dropping and out-of-this-world. I can't wait to see what awaits us in the sequel (what would it be called? Ong Bak 2: The Sequel?)

But enough said, I am no critic and I have run out of superlative adjectives so just go ahead and download the clip, then buy the dvd. It's totally worth it.

Note: this was cut from a Blu-Ray rip, the quality is excellent, thus the big size.

I suppose Ninja suffers from the inevitable comparison to Ninja Assassin. But it would be more appropriate to compare it to Blood and Bone, released earlier this year. In case you don't know, Blood and Bone is an excellent low-budget action flick starring Michael Jai White, who co-starred with Scott Adkins in the awesome Undisputed II: Last man stading.

Ninja has a ridiculous story and nothing in the character development department. But of course that is to be expected in this kind of movie. I seriously doubt the new Ninja Assassin will have a better story and characters, anyway.

The action is pretty good, though. The fights are fast and furious and Scott Adkins delivers some amazing legwork. My favorite scene has him kicking the shit out of a bunch of evil cultists. Another highlight of the movie takes place on a train where our hero and heroine fight some scumbags in cramped quarters. Sadly, the final showdown is very much a letdown, too much fancy effects and not nearly enough martial arts.

Also, the villain has some sort of super ninja suit that allows him to do inhuman things. Maybe some people like this kind of fancy stuff but for me it just takes away the fun. I want hard-hitting action.

After all is said and done, Blood and Bone is a much better action film, though Ninja is still an entertaining watch on its own. Too bad there was no sex between Scott and Tsuyoshi Ihara, who is very cute. I would have loved to see how she fought in bed :D
