For those wondering. No, I can't join in on all The Furious hype. UK release isnt for another few weeks and it doesn't look like it's going in all major cinemas. I'm glad to hear it's fantastic though

That's a hell of a list!
By no means comprehensive nor is it full of too many deep cuts but if you see The Furious this weekend and martial arts aren’t usually your bag, I made a fun list of great stuff to dig into either starring or made by the folks involved

Look, it's simple: Do we want to continue moaning about Asian actioners being hard to find and taking years to release in our country on a random VOD platform with no fanfare, OR... do we want to go watch THE FURIOUS in cinemas and send a signal to distributors? Do your part!
Team #TheFurious…Get out there and watch this weekend! We’re off to a great start. Spread the word, see it with everyone you know and turn those theaters into mosh pits. This film is made for watching with a crowd. 👊 🔨

This. This is far more relevant than people realise. I know many a filmmaker who went to film school and learned nothing more about action than when they went in. It is still, unfortunately, not looked upon favourably in a lot of film circles.
Kinda relevant/irrelevant but this thing happens a lot with film students as well. No education is given about Action or Stunts or even how to keep actors safe on set! So when I tell them that their two page Action description is not doable in a day, it blows their minds. (1/2)

It's time to talk about Mortal Kombat 2! Returning to the hot seat we have frequent flyer Dan Grima who saw this in the cinema the same day I did. Do we agree? Is the hype real? Are MK nerds satisfied? Is it better than MK 2021? All this and more awaits you in the newest episode!

Loved this quote from Joe Taslim on owing action fans a *feast* with THE FURIOUS
TThe Furious is not here to feed action fans the same old meal. Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian, Brian Le, Miao Xie, and Kenji Tanigaki explain how the film builds a new combat language out of judo, silat, wushu, weapons, and human demolition.

Oh man... so many of his incredible roles mean so much to me. Repo, Merlin and Buffy are the biggest by far. He always stole whatever project he was in. It will be weird now knowing he will never randomly show up anymore like he did in Ted Lasso or Spooks or Jack Ryan.

My brain is completely fried at this announcement. Day or late to this but I NEVER thought we'd see the day where a release would have ALL the cuts of these movies together, let alone restored in 4K. This is an insane release from @ArrowFilmsVideo and I cant wait to grab it!!

I remember when Fist of Legend dropped and some of the OGs were like you can’t remake Fist of Fury, leave that alone. I don’t know if this was the energy out East as well but the way the film was marketed out here and how much a lot of us loved it you think it was a success.
I shut down my production company because of Fist of Legend. Three years later it became a classic. New episode of So Be It out on YouTube

100% agreed. Had a great time interviewing the director of this and never understood some of the resistance people gave it.
GLADIATOR UNDERGROUND is one of the best tournament movies of the past few years mainly because it allows Andy and Brian Le a larger stage to fully show off their martial arts skills and inventive choreography! Oh yeah Brian Le has a little movie coming out soon….be ready!

Just finished 7 full nights in the rain by a real running train track in Thailand under a thunderstorm with Iko Uwais for one of the greatest fights of my career. These moments are why I do this, through all the pain and psychosis. Heart is happy.

For about ten years, the DVD made Hollywood more money than the movie theater did. A film could flop in cinemas and still turn a tidy profit once it hit the shelf at Best Buy. In 2005, discs sold around $16 billion in the US. Theaters made about half that. That safety net changed the kind of films that got made. Since a strong disc run could cover a box-office miss, studios were willing to bet on smaller, odder movies. A scrappy comedy like Napoleon Dynamite or The Big Lebowski could rake in as much from disc sales as it ever made selling tickets, sometimes more. And the hours of behind-the-scenes extras Jackson misses got made for the same reason: the discs sold well enough to pay for them. Then streaming showed up, and the disc money fell off a cliff. Sales sank more than 80%. By 2018, DVDs were down to barely $2 billion. By 2023, a full half-year of disc sales added up to about $754 million, less than a tenth of the old peak. With the safety net gone, the risky bets stopped. The mid-size movie, the $20 to $60 million film that filled theaters for decades, mostly stopped getting made. Hollywood's big studios put out 204 movies in 2006. By 2010, that was down to 141. The digital version that replaced the disc comes with fine print. When you click "buy" on a movie, you're really just renting it. What you actually get is a license, a permission slip the store can take back. In late 2023, PlayStation warned customers it was about to wipe more than 1,300 shows they had already paid for. It backed off only after signing a fresh deal, and even that one expires in a couple of years. California now has a law, on the books since 2025, that makes stores admit the "buy" button is actually a rental. Jackson's old box sets still sit on a shelf and still play, extras and all. The digital copies most people traded them for can vanish the morning a licensing contract runs out.
Peter Jackson laments the death of physical media: “You can get Blu-rays and DVDs, but they’re almost a niche product for aficionados now,” Jackson said. “Since they only sell small numbers, no studio wants to put extended features on them or to extend the cuts. We did hours and hours of behind-the-scenes material for The Lord of the Rings DVDs, and so many people have thanked me for doing them. People would watch that stuff over and over again because it inspired them to make films. That’s all gone now, and I think it’s a real shame.” Do you still get real books and DVDs?

you’d literally have to show this to people and not tell them it’s Power Rangers, bc for whatever reason the name itself has a stigma that tells casual audiences it doesn’t mean anything meanwhile people were sweating their heads off, stressed out and WORKING working
I’ve probably said this before but… Power Rangers—a low budget kids show—had better action filmmaking than many $200m movies
