yeah, one of my fav zeroG scenes. Cause its basically spot on. American action puts so little into their fight scenes and they wonder why other countries consider us the barbarians. All they see is bar brawl fights in movies.

Who says stereotypes can't be fun?

The Hollywood fighting is ignorantly ineffective (why the chairs weren't immediate weapons is baffling) and the Hong Kong fighting is stupidly inefficient (you got his ankle, lock, drop, and snap it)!

Still a fine watch, thanks for the upload.

@IcyOne4884 You forgot to mention Scott Adkins because I'm sure you know him. Anyway, there are tons, like the rest of ZeroGravity are all very good.

@LightxKira5643 Ummmmmmmmmmmm by now who hasn't heard of Tany Jaa & Lateef Crowder......then again I'm a huge Martial Arts enthusiest & I watch just about anything that comes my way.........I also like Micheal Jai White, Donnie Yen, & many many others if you got any other suggestions I'd love to hear about um dude :D

@IcyOne4884 Eww, you are comparing that movie.

Watch this and you'll see how horrible that was: Tony Jaa building scene

That is top notch.

Jet li and Jackie Chan movies are to supernatural now, go watch that Tony Jaa, muay boran fighting.

Also search tony jaa vs lateef crowder. Lateef crowder search him too. Lateef is in this group but he's a very good brazillian martial artist.

@GroteB No, european's have skilled martial arts. Like the french elite are highly trained with savate and even the regular people know it a lot of the time to protect themselves in the dangerou sstreets. SAmbo is used in russia and pankration europe. They take martial arts more seriously over there.

Story of how the Matrix came to be. American rule of cool hired Chinese martial arts master. Result "instant awesome, just add kung fu".

Fuck yeah.

[GroteB]

This stems probably from the many martial arts originated in Asia, as opposed to the many guns invented and used in America (and Europe).

@ShadySamurai How about watching this vid all the way to the end? Maybe you'll learn something.

[IcyOne4884]

I admit that American fight scenes suck ass a lot......but I think that film makers are starting to realize this and making slow improvements. The Expendables was BEAST in my opinion, but that's just what I say. If anything they just need to get more fight coreographers like the one who did coreography for the matrix trilogy, many Jet Li movies, and a few Jackie Chan movies (I think)..........Sorry but I forgot his name.

@TinyTitian Undisputed 2 and 3 where filmed in Eastern Europe mostly. Transporter was written by Luc Besson, a french writer and producer. for both Transporter 1 and 2 were mostly filmed in France. Part of Miami, but mostly France.
