@markzuckergecko621 10 дней назад

@@Shaz-Daz you should check out Ninja 2, the plot is pretty basic, revenge, the dialogue is pretty cheesy, but the fight scenes are intensely violent, culminating with the showdown with the big bad. It's awesome. Ninja is also good, but something about the intensity of Ninja 2 makes it so rewatchable, you can even just RU-vid the final fight if you're time pressed, lol. Really though you can't go wrong with Adkins, he's the best in the biz.

@markzuckergecko621 10 дней назад

Scott Adkins is the best martial artist in movies today, all of his movies are great, the worst case scenario is a cheesy plot with badass fight scenes, and some of them are actually really good movies.

@carlosescobar2170 10 дней назад

In an interview Danny Trejo stated that whenever he played a bad guy (like the serial rapist in Con-Air) he insisted that his character die a terrible death because he wanted to ensure his character was an example of how crime doesn’t pay.
