The Best Movie Fight Scenes

Movies like Blood and Bone are proof that if one wants some real martial arts action, one should not look to the likes of Ninja Assassin. I mean, come on, the hero of that flick is played by Rain who is a Korean Pop star, for Christ's sake. While Rain certainly has a good look and a great body, he is about as real a martial artist as I am Santa Claus. Michael Jai White, or MJW, now he is the real deal. The man looks fierce, is sculpted like a Greek statue and got some mad skills. If I was to compare him to a renowned martial artist, I'd say he is the Black Donnie Yen.

Blood and Bone's got some spectacular action sequences, exciting and very well staged. On close examination (frame-by-frame advancing) you'll see there is no full-contact hits. But that's OK, not everyone is as crazy as the Thai guys in a Tony Jaa movie. In particular, the end fight between MJW and a guy in a suit is a fantastic piece of expert choreography, infused with a small dose of great humor.

My only complaint is that none of the guys whose asses MJW kicks in Blood and Bone comes close to posing a serious threat to him. Personally I prefer seeing the hero gets bloodied a bit before he triumphs.

A little trivia:
Panna Rittikrai is Tony Jaa's Martial Arts master and also a Martial Arts and Stunt Choreographer.

A common trademark in many of Panna films is the use of full contact rather than pulling punches or the use of camera tricks in the fight scenes.

Back to MJW. Perhaps as an action fan you have heard of him by now, especially after his promising performance in Undisputed II where he and Scott Adkins wowed fans with their incredible duels. If Hollywood suits know what's good for them, they would make MJW an action superstar, like they did with Jason Statham.

I've got a fantasy: I would love to see Michael Jai White goes against Donnie Yen. And Scott Adkins vs Wu Jing, too, while we're at it. And how about Jet Li vs Tony Jaa?

Support the filmmakers and artist who make good movies and buy the DVD. It's worth it.
