 Hi everyone. This is another test stream that we're trying today. We did a live discussion last week, which I thought was pretty fun. And I thought it went really well. We had some good discussion. So today I figured we would try it again. Our schedule's been kind of thrown around with this whole, excuse me, film isolation and a lot of the videos that we had planned, we weren't able to finish. We had interviews with schools we were going to visit, so they weren't able to finish. So this is a good time for us to kind of do some experimentation and live streaming is one of them. I do appreciate you guys jumping in and joining discussion. I apologize for the crude setup again. I'm doing up my phone. We are working on a better setup, but we're just not quite there yet. But I wanted to see how this dynamic plays out first before we get too far into investment and infrastructure for that. But good morning, guys. How's it going? Hi, John. Hi, Sean. Hey, cool. So today we'll let people kind of get in. But I thought it'd be kind of fun since we are all at home and there's not a whole lot to do besides training on your own and, you know, sometimes watching TV. Let's talk about some martial arts movies. And, you know, we've been doing the Cine Dojo episodes. And the reason we do the Cine Dojo episodes is because I think the movies and entertainment play a big, big, big part into the martial arts. If anything, it's an exposure and helping people discover stuff that's out there that they weren't even aware of. Or, you know, especially back in the early, you know, 70s, 80s, you know, most people didn't know what the martial arts were in America in terms of karate styles were. And the karate kid in Chuck Norris movies really helped to spread that. So as people come in, you know, we'll keep, well, we'll start getting to different examples. But I thought this would be a fun, just general overall discussion because I think movies play a very big role in the martial arts. As long as you understand the definition of, like, you know, what's real or what's not, because the movies do dramatize a lot. They make the martial arts like real fights look a lot sharper and cleaner and cooler than they really are in real life, but they're for good entertainment value. It does sound like a chemical technique, John. It absolutely does. Falcon Rising. We do have some techniques called Falcon. I'll have Falcon in the name. So anyway, figured this is a good chance just to kind of talk about some of my favorites, but really more so to see what you guys are watching, because I wouldn't admit. I wouldn't admit I am way behind in the martial arts films. I don't get to watch a lot of TV with my schedule, but there's a lot of films I missed growing up. You know, I watched my favorites, Mortal Kombat and Ninja Turtles, karate. I watched karate kid every month. So I watched a lot of my favorites over and over and over and over, but I missed a lot growing up and I missed a lot of movies that are our favorites. So I figured now since we have the time, this is a good chance to get some recommendation from you guys, what you like about them, your favorite, your favorite movies and why you like them so much. The Last Dragon. Yeah, I haven't seen that one either. I've seen pieces of that. A few pieces of that. But yeah, what I find interesting to do is if you go back to the movies, like I was talking about in the 70s and 80s that, you know, the general public wasn't always aware of what, you know, what kind of arts were out there. When I grew up, I thought the martial arts were incredibly simple. You watch the Chuck Norris films, you watch movies of the 80s and they're very basic. The choreography, you watch it now, a lot of it's pretty cringe-worthy compared to the fight scenes, the choreography we have today. So it's actually interesting to see through the 70s, 80s, 90s, 1000s, the evolution of martial arts and films. And what we have now, like the Matrix was pretty revolutionary. I mean, yes, there was a lot of camera work involved in that, but there was a lot of, you know, choreography we hadn't seen before. And when movies do that, they make things exciting. So, yeah, see Bloodsport, see Bloodsport kickboxes, those are pretty much definitive, literally just kickboxing movies. And when I was a kid, I thought that's what martial arts were. It was all about the kicking, it was all about the jump spinning stuff. Van Damme was a favorite as a kid. So was Steven Seagal as a kid. I don't watch their movies as much now anymore, but yeah, I mean, all the staples that were out there. And oh, the passenger 57. Yeah, Wesley Snipes. He's not always grouped into the martial arts movie stars because he kind of joined in a little bit later, but like in Demolition Man, I love his fighting in that. Even though it's fairly simple, it is crisp. It looks like it hurts. And of course, the sound mixing really makes the impact sound solid. But yeah, oh yeah, I love watching Wesley Snipes fight. Most Donnie N movies are choreographed really well. Yes, absolutely. They absolutely are. And I do want to see the It Man movies. I know there's like what four of them at this point. I have not gotten a chance to watch those yet. So do you guys recommend those? I've been hearing nothing but good things that they're really fun. I do have to ask though, I'm assuming it's really more entertainment. How accurate are they to like any real life because it looks like it's really kind of more of a fun action film, but I have not seen them yet. They are amazing. Okay, I'm seeing them pop up a lot on Netflix in my viewing list. I'm going to go over Netflix, but I'm definitely going to go check those out. Not historically accurate, but great. I figured as much. I didn't think he was really known to be much of an action star, but no, the movies look great. So okay, I'm going to make a note of that. This is definitely something I'm going to take some notes if you guys have any particular suggestions. So It Man is definitely going to be one of them. And there's four of them though, correct? Brady Brown asks, am I ready for Cobra Kai season three? I have been ready for season three since season one. And what's driving me nuts is they have not yet released the release date. There's been no trailer. There's been really no photos yet. And that's kind of making me a little bit nervous about hopefully it's not delayed, but we didn't get any announcement as to when in 2020 it would be released. One of the screenwriter said it was not delayed, that it was not delayed because of the virus, but yet there's still no announcement and he's been kind of coy about it. Somebody asked him online, when is it coming out? And he goes weeks. And of course fans are going weeks, one week, two weeks, how many weeks is weeks? Which is a joke, of course, from the Karate Kid. But no, I'm a little bit concerned because we don't know when they originally intended to release it this year. But the pattern would have been around April, May based on seasons one and two. So I'm really excited for it. But I'm also a little bit nervous that we haven't heard any announcements yet, or we haven't even seen it. Usually trailer drops about a month before it comes out. We haven't seen a trailer yet. And I don't know about you guys. I don't think I've seen any screenshots yet. So yeah, I'm definitely kind of chomping at the bit of that one. I never thought Cobra Kai was going to be good, but yeah, it was good. That show was such a surprise, especially since, you know, in recent years, the attempts with the new Karate Kid and they did that remake. My hopes weren't high. But when they announced you were bringing back the original cast, and of course I was optimistically, I was cautiously optimistic. But when it came out, yeah, man, that's one of my favorite shows. I really do hope it's soon. I also got a bag. Oh, you guys see the battle cat after. Yeah. I'm going to do a tour a little bit later probably for our Patreon. Yeah, my home office, I'm working from home a lot. So my home office, I kind of have it themed. It's split in half. I've got this media shelf right here. This is brick wall. Really, it's just it's the back of a media shelf. And I've got one side of the room is modeled to be like an 80s living room. So I've got like a lazy boy. I have an old wooden console TV with the old console video game system sucked up. And on this side, it's just got like my little office cubby. So yeah, I've got some of my human stuff up there and Ghostbusters and kind of stuff spread around the room. I was I didn't realize you guys can see that. John Hurwood says it's definitely coming up for Christmas. I sure hope it does. But hopefully I was hoping it would come out before 4th of July or before, you know, Memorial Day. It's kind of getting into the schedule here. Well, he said it wasn't going to be delayed. But you know, who knows at this point. Am I a fan of Ultraman? I have not seen Ultraman. Generally, when I was a kid, I watched some of the Japanese movies. I watched a little bit of like, of what's it called Godzilla a little bit as a kid. Not something I really kept up with as I grew up. So no, I have not seen Ultraman is any good. I mean, I did watch Power Rangers a little bit also when I was younger, but not not too much. If I'm watching a martial arts anime, again, not so much anime, although I did watch the Street Fighter animated film with a friend about. Wow, it's been that long already, but 1997 when I graduated, I went back to New York to visit the friend and he had the Street Fighter animated film and that was awesome. That was awesome. Do you think you have a star open meeting for at least people who are on Patreon? It's definitely possible. We're adding a lot of star patrons here right now. Our membership is still kind of small, so it was a little bit limited what we can offer, but we do have a list of features we're working on. It's honestly come down to the time to produce stuff. So we're trying to balance the time whether you know what episodes produced for the channel, art history videos to produce exclusive stuff. We want to put on Patreon and extra features. We do have some more. I'm not ready to announce yet, but we do have some more art history themed videos in the work. We're going to put some subseries together so we can get more of those out because it takes a lot of work for us to do the history of art. It takes a bit of research and production, but we're going to start doing some, we're going to spread out a little bit and kind of cast a wider net to get more topics covered. Hi, Kyle Burks. Welcome from the UK. The subject today, excuse me guys. I just want to talk about martial arts movies. What do you guys recommend? Some of your favorite fight scenes. What makes a good fight scene to you? Films that you grew up with? Of you guys who have watched the channel, you know I love the Karate Kin movies, the Mortal Kombat, the first Mortal Kombat, and Ninja Turtles. Just because I love the way they're choreographed. I love the way they're produced and presented. And especially those three I consider my Pat Johnson trilogy because he choreographed all three films. And what I like about it though is they're so dramatically different from each other. You've got the Karate Kid who is, you know, it's about real life people and it's trying to be presented in a real, down-to-earth fashion using real karate and telling the story. Using actors who didn't really have much training at the time, if any. Then you've got Mortal Kombat, which is a fantasy film full of martial artists. Like almost everyone in the film was a martial artist except for a handful of actors. And then you've got Ninja Turtles. Oh, and Mortal Kombat, you've got various styles. Like every character's got a different fighting style. And in Ninja Turtles, you've got stunt actors in outfits and suits that really can't really see. So I think that's a really interesting contrast to see three different movies from the same choreography and how dramatically different the fighting choreography is. So let's see. Seven It Man movies. There's seven. But down again, there's, I thought there were only four. I should watch Street Fighter's Assassin's Fist. That's the best adaptation of the day game. Assassin's Fist, is that the fan film? Yes, I believe it is. I believe you recommended that before. I do have that. I do have that queued up to watch that. I saw the first opening minutes of that and I kind of skipped through just to kind of check it out. I'm actually surprised at the production value for an independent film like that for such a fan passion project. That looks like it's going to be a lot of fun. Bloodsport were growing up in the last samurai. Last Samurai, if you're talking to Tom Cruise one, that was surprisingly good. I went into that thinking it was just going to be kind of an okay film when it came out. And when I watched it, I was surprised at how decent that was. Bloodsport, of course, I saw Bloodsport many, many years ago. It's actually, we did a poll for our Patreon members of which Synodogio episodes they wanted to see coming up, which movies. And it kind of seemed to be, we got the consensus of three films. Best of the best, The Perfect Weapon and Bloodsport were recommended the most. So I believe, I think Perfect Weapon is going to be the next one. It's got to sit down and take it apart and work on it. But The Perfect Weapon is a fun one. That one, I found, I actually found that movie back in 1991. I think I was living in Long Island. That was a kid. It was before I even trained. I didn't even know what Kemple was. I found it one night. You know, I had a habit as a kid, you know, school night. I'm laying in bed, wasn't tired. So I would just secretly turn the TV on overnight and watch movies with volume low. And I watched so many movies that way, Robocop and all the Nightmare Elm Street movies and Friday the 13th, but Perfect Weapon and best of the best. I actually watched both of these films. I found them and The Perfect Weapon was awesome. I loved it. I loved it because at the time I hadn't seen movies like that, you know, and I didn't know what Kemple was. I didn't know who Just Speakman was, but I really enjoyed that film. And then a couple of years later when I joined Kemple and I found out, you know, it was a seminar. The first seminar I went to was at Just Speakman seminar. And when he was announced, I'm like, oh, that's the guy from Perfect Weapon. And I didn't even realize until that point we were doing the same style. I wasn't, I didn't know a whole lot when I started. To me, a karate was karate and I've hopefully grown a lot since then. But no, Perfect Weapon was definitely an influential film because it helped me fall in love with my art even more. And he's pretty cool. And when you see him in person, especially at that time at the seminar, he moves just as fast as he does in the films. And I'll tell you right now, it hurts just as much as it looks. I mean, I've been hit by him. It hurts. That man can generate some serious power. So I, yeah, that was one of my influential ones as well. I will also admit I have not seen all his movies. He's got quite a few, I don't know, something like 13, 15 movies. I started to watch a couple of them, but they weren't on as much. I had a hard time catching them. Like Perfect Weapon was on all the time, but I never really could catch the other ones. Red Belt, yes, I did see Red Belt. That was pretty interesting. That was another one I saw several years ago. Didn't really know what it was getting into it, but I enjoyed that one. Red Belt was good. Iron Monkey was good. It's been a long time since I saw that. I see Mike had a live stream recently. He was talking about one of his favorites was Only the Strong, which was a Capoeira movie. And I saw that back in the 90s. I remember that being pretty decent as well. I couldn't really tell you a whole lot about it. It kind of feels like I could cry. You could ask bully aspect to it, but I did enjoy that one. Oh, I'm going to have to go back and yeah, you guys are putting a lot of recommendations. Just some good stuff here. Iron Monkey, Five Elements. I don't know if I'm just, yeah. The Art of Self Defense I did see, that was funny. There's a lot of jokes in that movie that if you're studying karate that you'll get. And also if you teach it or if you run a school, whatever, there's a lot of jokes in there that you get. That was funny. But a lot of the foreign films I sadly have not seen as much of. There's a lot of kung fu movies I haven't watched. That's definitely a genre that I've neglected and not out of intention. I never caught them and that just wasn't where, unfortunately, my viewing is a little more mainstream because I caught whatever was on cable. I didn't really seek martial art movies out. I kind of found what I found in the 90s. And it was Billy Blanks, Donnie Dragon Wilson, Cynthia Rothrock. Their movies were on HBO all the time. So I caught a lot of their stuff. Oh, it has an H-well. Only Strong has an H-well. So I saw it back in the 90s and I liked it at the time. So there's a movie. If you guys, how many of you in here have seen the movie Blood Moon? Talk about a movie that hasn't aged well. I believe it came out in the 90s. Late 90s, I think it was made for cable. But yeah, I've watched it at the time. It blew my mind because it was one of those movies where I didn't expect the kind of choreography. Just because it was really, really creative. Now, when I go back and watch it now, it's actually kind of bad. I mean, it's like really obvious choreography. It looks like a theater play that just rehearsed and rehearsed it. But I love the creativity of it at the time. And the story was really silly costumes. But how many of you guys have seen Blood Moon? Chocolate. A lot of people can imagine chocolate. I wouldn't make a note of that. I haven't even heard of that one. You just saw Blood Moon on Sunday. It's fun. It definitely is a guilty pleasure because I watched parts of it recently. And I was cringing. Oh, wow. Marshall's video on this way. What about comedies, guys? What about one of the ones I love is Kung Fu Hustle. Silly, silly, silly movie. But that one made me laugh. So I got to watch that. I've seen parts of that recently. But I like the creativity. I love the choreography. And the cinematography is so creative. And again, went into it not knowing what it was. I had a friend recommend that one. The foot fist way. I have not seen that one. I have seen what's the other one. Enter the Fist. Enter the Fist. What was that one called? Kung Fu. The Fist or something like that. If you really want to get silly. And I don't even really hardly count this in the Marshall's film. But it kind of is that fan movie. Kung Fu Rui. Talk about ridiculous and not realistic. But that was one of those movies. You just kind of sit there like a train wreck. And you just kind of watch, especially if you're someone, a kid of the 80s. Oh man, that thing is hilarious. Not really a main stream. It's a fan film. It's a half hour film. If you guys can catch that, I think it's on YouTube. Kung Pow. Enter the Fist. Yes, thank you. I remember seeing that at the time. And it was funny then. I have not seen it recently. So I don't know how well that holds up. There is Ninja. I saw that one time. And that was when it came out. And I honestly can't remember much of it. I can't imagine it's aging very well. But I might one day go back and venture that another. Viewing of that. Okay. Yeah, I'm going to make it know that I'm looking at that. There's a lot of arts that I haven't heard of yet. I want to go check into. Brady's hot in the three ninjas. Oh, yeah. That was a favorite as a kid. talk about guilty pleasures. They got progressively worse, so wow. The first one was fun. It definitely had a Victor Wong was the grandfather, who I do believe did some stuff. Did he do some work? I think he was also stunt actor in some other movies, but that totally had like a cry he could feel to it. But Three Ninjas was fun. As a kid, as a family-friendly movie, that was fun. I don't remember liking two, three and very much at all. And four was horrible. That was one of the theme park, I believe. Have I ever challenged myself to watch Dragon Ball Evolution? No, I have not. I haven't watched any Dragon Ball, actually. I said a lot of the anime, a lot of, especially animated films, period. I haven't seen too many martial arts. Walratt's two script was finished because of quarantine. Yeah, he's been working on that for a while. That could be interesting. Not necessarily martial arts, but that could be interesting. Three Ninjas was so great when I saw them as a kid, but now I find them kind of silly. Yeah, they really did not age well. I mean, for early 90s, they were fine. At least the first one was fine. The first one had some humor to it. I probably haven't seen that movie in 25 years, so I can't imagine it's age well, but I do remember liking it a lot as a kid. So, one of the films, like I mentioned, best of the best, I caught that on cable. Like with Perfect Weapon, I was watching TV one night and just came across it and said, oh, okay, this looks like, I caught it right at the beginning, too. So, I saw them doing Taekwondo. I'm like, okay, cool, just check this on. And I was captivated. I was probably 13 when I found it, 13, 14. And I got hooked on it. And the next day, you know, I took to my family and said, look, we got to go watch this movie, and this movie is great. And it actually became a family favorite. And my wife had not seen it. I actually had watched that with her about maybe three weeks ago. She had never seen it. She told me talking about it, but she liked it a lot. And it ages fairly well. It's got some cheese to it. It definitely has some late 80s, early 90s cheese to it. But I enjoyed it. And I liked the characters a lot. I did not like where they went after that. I don't think there should have been a two or three or four because they took a good character piece movie. And what they did with it, I think it's kind of a shame. You saw best the best two before you saw the original. Yeah. I saw two about maybe a year after the original. And I like I love the original. I love this kid. It's a great it's it can get emotional. If you're watching it in the right mood, it has an impact. When I saw the second one, I was like, what are they doing? They basically turn it into your typical bane for cable action movies, what it felt like. And it kind of got the plot got huge. And the characters were pretty forgettable for the most part. The bad guy was talking about a ripoff Arnold Schwarzenegger and three and four. Oh my gosh, they were just they were horrible. I was really sad to see where they went. You have a movie that was so good, you know, kind of was its own thing. And it just went down this this beam we roll. And I don't think it does the series justice. So I kind of like to separate best of the best one from the rest of them. I'm really disappointed with the did. Yeah, I mean, I think it was great first time. Absolutely. Now, I love watching the Tommy Day Han fight. I'll watch that all the time just because I love the choreography of it. I love the lighting the drama of it. It's just such a well edited scene. And do I like Boxer or Blitz for I do. I have not seen them. It's been many, many years since I've seen them. I'm going to have to watch Bloodsport again in the near future because it is coming up on Snowdojo and it's I should probably freshen up on it. A lot of people when I did my Karate Champ episode, I got some comments. I'd forgotten to mention that Karate Champ was in that movie. That's my bad. But yeah, I'm going to watch that again. I have not seen any of the sequels. I haven't seen any of the sequels. But Bloodsport, what I like about Bloodsport, I mean, for one reason why I like Mortal Kombat so much just because the game, the overall Mortal Kombat is basically Bloodsport and enter the dragon kind of mixed together. So it was like Johnny Gage was based off of Van Damme. And of course, entered the dragon pretty much is the same plot. So Mortal Kombat is the school contemporary blend of them with the fantasy characters. So yeah, I'm definitely I do need to go back and watch them both again. I saw them both a long, long, long time ago. I never really gotten to Bruce Lee movies that much. I did see a couple. I saw that one. I forget what the second one was. But I definitely I think at this point now, especially running the channel that those are movies I need to go back and refresh on. Have I ever seen Karate Kid's edgier MMA cousin never back down? No, I have not. And it's funny. I've heard people refer to that as a Karate Kid. I'm going to write that one down because that's one never back down. That's a recommendation that comes up a lot. So I'm definitely going to check those out. So yeah, I'm also definitely looking for recommendations from you guys because we've got time and I thought it might be a good time to go working from home a lot. So it might be a good time to put some of these movies on. I'm looking more for not necessarily a lot of Kung Fu films, unless they're really, really good ones. I like movies that are kind of character pieces. I know it's kind of hard to find a good character story in martial arts shows, but they are out there. Or just a good fun, a good, fun, martial arts movie. Have I seen any American Ninja film starring Michael Glukov? I did as a kid. I have like no flash like I can't really recall any of those movies, except I just remember some fights at an airport, which might have been the first one. But I'm as a kid, I thought those were pretty cool in there. I think I saw three of them. Yuri Bokeh. No, I have not. X, X, X, XZ, Z. I have not seen that. Are they good? Well, how would you describe those? Never back down. The library of almost 2,000 movies on the DVDs. Wow. A lot of martial arts movies in there as well. Brady, yes, it man. I've got a list. I've got a lot of recommendations for that. I do want to see that. What are my thoughts on Train to Fight? I'm going to be honest, I haven't heard of that one. Yes, Mortal Kombat was supposed to be a video game adaption. Yeah, I think you're right. I think that's where it started. And it's kind of obvious when you look at the arcade cabinet and you look at Johnny Cage, you can kind of look at him and be like, oh, okay, he's supposed to be Van Damme. It's pretty obvious. Yes, Cinderella Movie was pretty good. That was another surprise. I don't think the trailer does that movie justice. When I watched the trailer, it kind of felt a little more melodramatic and my wife wanted to put it on one day. I'm like, all right, we'll watch it. But no, you're right. It was surprisingly good. It really was surprisingly good. The boxing movies, I've seen a few of them. Of course, The Rockies. I mean, I watched those religiously. I love The Rocky films. I haven't seen too many other boxing movies. The Cinderella Man, I did enjoy. I was surprised with that one. The Last Samurai, my wife watched that just recently. I forgot how good that one was. So, okay, what are you guys like as kids, especially like in the 90s, like what were your favorite like cheesy martial arts films? I can't tell you any names, but like I watched Don Dragon Wilson was on all the time, especially like I said, watched TV all night. Don Dragon Wilson was on. Billy Blanks was on. Cynthia Rothrock was on. Although I remember her China O'Brien series being kind of fun. There was a lot of good cheesy B martial arts movies. Only the Strong is actually pretty good. It is. I remember, I remember being strong. I haven't seen that one since the 90s. I did enjoy it at the time. Ghost Dog. Okay, a lot of people, okay, I'm curious about Ghost Dog. Guys, tell me about Ghost Dog. I'm seeing that pop up a lot. A lot of people recommended Ghost Dog. Stephen T, Three Ninjas, Tiger Heart. Oh yeah, Ninja Turtles. I think the original Ninja Turtles movie is one of the best comic adaptations. And that one actually surprisingly holds up. Well, considering the subject matter, I mean Ninja Turtles 90s cartoon, which is actually the movies really more based off the comic book, which was a lot more violent. I'm very surprised how well that holds up to the point where I think I like it more now than I did as a kid. I appreciate it more now as a kid. King of Kickboxes was so cheesy even watching the 90s. It was a guilty pleasure. Who was in that one? Yeah, the Van Damme movies. I found Seagal. I think Seagal's personally, though that I watched with his was Hard to Kill. And that was probably 10, 11 when I found that one. I didn't even know who he was at the time, but I thought that was pretty good. Those are only martial arts movies. You've got 2,000 martial arts movies. That's dedication, man. That's awesome. That's awesome. I bet you got some great stuff in there. Oh, Billy Blanks was in King of Kickboxes. Okay, and I may have seen it. I can't, they all blend at this point. It's been like 30 years. Have I ever heard of Kuro Obi? I have not. I have not. Like I said, I'm unfortunately part of my, I'm not going to lie, part of my motivation for doing this stream today is to get caught up and kind of get some recommendations because you guys I know have a lot more movies you can recommend. I missed a lot. I missed a lot of martial arts films. So I'm definitely keeping a listen. There's a lot I'm going to go back and check out. Have I seen The Last Dragon? My first and thing is to say no, I can't remember it. If I saw it, I saw it as a kid. I'm not remembering much of that. Which one was that? Can you refresh me on that? Maybe it'll trigger my memory. Also watch Blind Faith. What's Blind Faith? So yeah, we're talking about like choreography, like cheesy movies. Oh, Roadhouse. Roadhouse. Roadhouse. Yes. Talk about a guilty pleasure. Not a good movie by any sense of quality film, but that is a fun one. Another interesting one is Protecting the King. Yes. Fun fact about Protecting the King, that was directed by David Stanley, who we interviewed on our channel last year, and he is also Elvis Presley's step-brother. That was, that was his passion project. And the movie's actually, it's actually the main character in that film is David Stanley. That's his life story growing up with Elvis and protecting Elvis as his bodyguard. That was a fun one. It is a lower budget film, but it's, as far as this historical place in Tempo and for Elvis being such a figure he was, I think it was a really interesting story to see. But yeah, I do recommend that one. If you can get your hands on it, it's kind of hard to find. I found it on the Amazon last year on DVD. I'm not sure where else you could find it, but yeah, Protecting the King was pretty good. Steel Dawn. I think I saw that a long time ago. The Last Electric Knight. I did not see that. I do like Ernie Reyes Jr. a lot. I didn't care for Surf Ninjas, but I do like him a lot. I think he's a fantastic martial artist. Killed the Golden Goose with this Red Parker. Yes, I have seen pieces of that. That's been a hard one for me to find as well. Yeah, I haven't seen that one in its entirety. The Last Dragon is not cheesy, but still. Okay, I think The Last Dragon is a direct one. I'm definitely writing that one now. I don't remember. I don't think I've seen it. I don't think I've seen it in a movie where an American GI was lost by Ernie Lyons and lost his vision is taught to martial arts. Oh, interesting. That's Blind Faith. What about what time period was that from? Blind Faith. I wrote that one down. Mortal Kombat was frightening when I saw it as a kid. Yeah, I can see that. It was pretty dark. If you were young when you saw it, I can see that. The second one was pretty bad, though. Who's excited for the new Mortal Kombat movie coming out? They haven't really released any screenshots yet, but I'm cautiously optimistic. I think it's definitely time for a new Mortal Kombat film if it's done right. From what I've seen in terms of who's working on it and the production so far, they haven't shown any screenshots yet, but it can either go really, really right or really, really wrong because it's pretty much an unknown screenwriter, an unknown director, and a bunch of up-and-coming cast that's showing cast members that are, a lot of them are starting, not all of them, but a lot of them are starting out. When you have such a young, green team like that, you either get a wonderful passion project. People put it in there all to make sure it's fantastic and it comes across as best as it can be, or you get a mess. I'm hoping we get something magical out of that. I think it's time for a good martial arts, another Mortal Kombat remake, and especially from what I've heard that the Americans are, so they might be going into the warrior stuff. The original movie did not go into, but yeah, I'm curious about it. The Art of Self-Defense. Yes, I did see that. I saw that maybe six months ago, and that was a little bit different than I expected. That was definitely a drier humor than I thought, but the best part too is when you got his yellow belt and everything is yellow. Yes, I do recommend that one. If you study martial art, or especially if you teach it and you run a school, there's so many inside jokes in that film. I do recommend that. Rudy, you are stoked for the new MK? Yeah. I'm cautiously optimistic. I think it's got a lot of potential to it. That's one of those movies where stories where it's got such a great foundation, and it's got such a rich cast of characters that you could do, it's got so much potential, but you need to write direction from it, because there's so much you can botch with it, because sometimes it's too much material, which I think it was the problem of Mortal Kombat and Islaytion, besides being ridiculously stupid. They tried too much with it. They crammed too many characters in there. It was almost like they were trying to rush through it and get as much in there as possible just to market it, but contrasted to the first one where they took their time with it and they took a handful of characters. I think that's the way to go. I haven't seen a cast as a character list. I've heard characters being mentioned that seem like they're mixed across different games. I'm not really sure if this is the remake of the first one, or if they're based on one of the later games, or if they're just doing something new. I'm really curious to see where they go with this new Mortal Kombat. I think it has a lot of potential to it, but cautiously optimistic, because it's also one of those properties that could go wrong very, very quickly. As evidenced by the second movie and even the Conquest Show, which I saw only a little bit of the live-action show, and I didn't care for it. Same thing with the live-action Ninja Turtles. I saw part of that. I was like, eh, yeah, not there. Never back down. I don't think I've seen that. If I did, it was as a kid. I don't think I've seen that. Highlander Endgame has an awesome fight between Ganyan. Highlander was one of those movies I missed as a kid. It was one of those 80s films I did not catch growing up, and I went back later and watched it, and I'm going to admit I did not care for it. I haven't cared for any of them. I think I watched up to three, and I'm like, this just isn't for me. I know there's different fans of the series, and most people seem to not like the second one. And I know the show was supposed to be really good. People love the show. That just wasn't when I was into so much. I'm not into the medieval sword play as much, but they made a new animated Mortal Kombat movie, the reviews were good. Oh, is that the Scorpion one? That does look interesting. I saw a trailer or an animated teaser for that. I'm going to check that one out, because that does look pretty good. This adds all over Facebook for that one. Ghostdog, philosophical, budo, samurai code, following urban-based assassin, surprises with a great character, close connection to you. Okay, yeah, I've got that one written down. Thanks, James. I'm definitely going to check that one out. Highlander original was excellent. I think I needed to have seen Highlander at its time. By the time I got around to it, which was maybe 10 years ago, I think I don't think it ages as well. It was probably fantastic for some of my personal opinion. I just couldn't get into it. Big drum of little China. Oh, man, okay. This is probably going to be unpopular opinion, but that's another one I saw way, way, way late. And I tried three times to get into it, and I can't. If you guys want me to, I'll try it again. One, it was not at all what I expected. So the first time I watched it, I was like, wait, what's going on? The second time I fell asleep. The third time I got further and fell asleep. If you guys really recommend it, I will try it again. I love 80s movies. I love 80s movies are my favorite genre, especially the cheesy ones. I know that one's a cult classic, and it's probably sacrilege for me to say I didn't like it. So I'll probably give that one one more chance. But I think a lot of these movies, you have to catch them at the time. They don't all age very well. And I think that might be one of them. But I don't know, maybe I'm just weird. Because like best of the best is another one. It's kind of cheesy. Age is fine. The American Asian movies, they don't age well. A lot of films, they just don't age well. Go-Sog. Yeah, a lot of you guys are mentioning Go-Sog. It's definitely going to be up there. So other things, it was like, I mentioned earlier, like watching movies as kids, like the martial arts seemed very, very simple. You know, it's punch kick, you know, it's thin kicks and all that. The lethal weapon movies when I was younger, I really liked that. And I thought that Mel Gibson, Martin Riggs, I thought he was like one of the best fighters at the time when watching as a kid. I'm watching now. I'm like, wow, it's pretty simple compared to, you know, what else is out there. But I kind of like to see how movies have progressed, the evolution where we went from the 70s and the 80s and the 90s. And now we've got movies like John Wick, where the stunt work is just phenomenal. And yeah, it's ridiculous with the gunplay. It's ridiculous with the weapons, but like the Jiu-Jitsu and the Kung Fu in there, I'm not the Kung Fu, that's the Matrix. But the Jiu-Jitsu and the Judo and the grappling in that movie is so fun. And we talked about making it cinematic. And I like seeing how they've, the more movies that come out, the martial arts films, they feel like they're stepping their game up quite a bit. Because even the Matrix at the time was really kind of, for me, it was like, wow, this is cool. I hadn't seen anything like this before. And that's what Blood Moon was to me. Now, Jackie Chan, my first experience with Jackie Chan was rumble in the Bronx when it came out in the theater. I didn't know who he was. Again, as a kid, I didn't really watch any Kung Fu films. None of my friends really did either. And so, you know, when we were in high school, my friend and I were like, oh, let's go check out this movie. It looks kind of fun. And we watched it. And I loved it because I had never seen his work before. And my favorite thing about Jackie Chan is, he's not that one man army. Like, you've got these movies like American Ninja and, you know, any Billy Blanks, Don Dragon Wilson movies, One Man Takes on the Mob or whatever. Even the best movies went. Jackie Chan is not that one man army. He is fun to watch because he scrambles. Like, he's tried to escape half the time. Like, half the fun of watching him fight is trying to get out of the scene. And I love watching his panic. And when he does fight, it feels a little bit more frantic. So I think his choreography is some of the best. The big brawl. No, I've not seen that. What is that one? I want cheesy short clips, watch old Ricky the dragon steamboat matches. What is that? I'm going to write that down out of curiosity. Ricky the dragon steamboat matches. What is that? Shadow Fury with Pat Merida Ambassador. Really? Well, check that one out of curiosity too. Only the strong Christopher. Yes. Yes. That was a good one. Again, I've seen that one many, many, many years ago. Some people are saying it doesn't age well. I did like it at the time. You should check out the Street Fighter Assassin's Fist series. That's a series now? Okay. Yeah, I've got the Street Fighter Assassin's Fist to watch. I didn't get to it right away only because I was not a fan. I was not a fan of the Street Fighter film that came out in the 90s. I thought it was kind of like Mortal Kombat. You have like this rich cast of characters and a lot of potential and they really kind of just, in my opinion, they really dropped the ball on that. I did not see the Chunlin movie. I haven't seen that one at all. So I don't know if that's any good. So I've kind of steered away from the Street Fighter films, but I'm going to check that one out. The Assassin's Fist. Ricky the steamboat is an old pro wrestling legend. Okay. The former Hawaiian Asian WWE hero. Okay. Yeah, I'll check it out. Why should we not show you around because they know how to fight? Yeah. If we talk, we have not talked about the raid. That's one. Thank you. I think I saw one scene of the raid and I didn't ever really care. I didn't even know really what it was. A friend of mine showed me a scene of an epic kitchen fight with butchernives and cleavers and like a big martial arts fight in the kitchen. Was that the raid? Was that one of those? I'm writing this down because I see that come up and a lot of people recommend the raid and I think it's what two or three of them. I think it's time I check those out. That was the raid too. Okay. That scene was intense. Like a friend found he goes, hey, you got to watch this movie and he showed me that scene on YouTube and I was totally calculated. That's some of the best choreography I think I've ever seen and talked about like high energy and high impact and just to like, I mean, I felt nervous watching it. So, okay, if that was the raid, then I'm, yeah, all right, I might even go find that tonight if I can. That, that's awesome. And there's how many of those? Is there three of those? Or they maybe just announced the third one. Street Fighter Assassin's Fist was originally a web series that they made into a movie. Oh, okay. Was the movie, is the movie the series put together into one film or did they make the movie separate after the series? The Mortal Kombat series on YouTube is pretty good. I watched those when those came out, those two YouTube seasons. A friend of mine gave them to me on Blu-ray. I want to go back. I want to watch them again if I do remember liking them when they came out, especially for fan-made films and the names they got in there. I thought that they were really well done and interesting. If you were able to bring Mortal Kombat down to more of a down-to-earth level, I think they did a pretty good job doing that. What's my favorite choreographed martial arts movie? Well, I have a feeling it might be the raid after I watch it. What's my favorite choreographed movie? I do like the John Wick. I like, I love the choreography of John Wick just because of how creative it gets and it's really, and there's a lot of realistic moves in that, real grappling moves. Yes, the gunplay and yes, a lot of the stunts are totally fantastic movie magic, but I get really into watching those just because of the choreography. You can start to pick out techniques and choreography and Jackie Chan. I have to do a Jackie Chan, just the choreography on that, just the sheer precision on his films. Even though they're more for comedy, but as far as choreography goes, I'm going to have to definitely put Jackie Chan in the ring for that. The Korean movie, Old Boy, is a psychological suspense movie, but it has a crazy fight scene with the hammer. So is it, is that, is Old Boy a martial arts movie or is it just as a martial arts scene or one scene? Philip and Simon remastered it. Yes. Oh, I love Philip and Simon Rhee. Like, I love best of the best and I get, I get a kick when I see them pop up. How do I feel about Tony Jaa getting his butt kicked by Paul Walker in Fast and Furious? I'm going to be honest. I'm going to be honest. I don't really care for the Fast and Furious films. They're okay. I mean, the first one is basically a remake of Point Break. They're okay. I mean, they're kind of fun paragraphs. I stopped at four. I haven't seen past four. And I do know they suffered what Rhonda Rousey was in, what, five or six? Um, I guess the fighting's fine. I just said, this is not my favorite movies. Do I like End of the Dragon or is it overrated? I like it. I do. Like, it's not one of my favorites. Again, I saw that one in the early 2000s, late 90s. So it was definitely, I saw it past its original release. I had already seen Mortal Kombat. So when I saw End of the Dragon, I was like, hey, wait, there's basically Mortal Kombat. And I'm like, well, wait, this came first. Mortal Kombat is basically End of the Dragon. No, I do like it. I think it was actually pretty good for its time. And I think it kind of set up the bar high for some, for, for martial arts films at its time. Forbidden Kingdom with Jackie Chan and Jet Lee. I do believe I saw that a while back, if it's the one I'm thinking of, that was pretty good. Do I think that Michael Jai White is legit? From what I've seen, I do. He seems pretty badass. And I like him in his films. And he's trains in Kyoko Shin, and that's not an easy art to train. And if he's, if you, if you can do well in that art, and I would say you're pretty legit. The Shoot Fighter movie. No, I haven't heard the Shoot Fighter movie. Shoot Fighter. How old is that? Gary Daniels. Was Gary Daniels the one in Blood Moon, Australian, British or Australian actor, martial artist? If he's too, I think it is. And yes, he's got some great moves. And he was, he was one of the reasons I like Blood Moon. If he's the one I'm thinking of, if he was the one in Blood Moon, and yeah, I think he's pretty cool. I haven't seen many of his films, but no, I do. I liked him in that. Do I like the choreography in Daredevil? I do. I do. Particularly that first season. That first season. Come on, that hallway scene, that was some great choreography. And then my favorite things about that, that hallway scene was one, it felt a bit more like real, I mean, it was still fiction, it was still choreographed, but it felt more realistic because they were getting tired. And I loved seeing that it took a lot of work to knock a guy down, and that guy would get back up because I hate movies. When you've got one guy fighting five or 10 men, he hits like once and it was like knocked out. It's so easy to knock him out. A real person fighting 10 people at one time, it's not so easy. Daredevil made it look interesting. And they all got exhausted. The fighting got sloppy. They started to stumble. This, they got hurt. Like the scene carried some serious weight to it. So yes, I really do like the choreography of that show a lot. And I think that particular scene really sets the standard for what the fighting scenes could be. My thoughts on Cyborg with Jean-Claude Van Damme. Honestly, I don't think I've seen that one. I don't think I've seen that one. I watched some of his movies. I think that wasn't one that I caught. I caught whatever was on cable at the time. By the time DVD and stuff came out, I wasn't really seeking out Steven Seagal or Jean-Claude Van Damme at that point. So I just caught whatever was on HBO or whatever was on cable. Shoot Fighter has William Zavka. Sold. Sold. Shoot Fighter. That's, okay. Yep. You told me on that one. I have not seen Fist of the North Star. They made a sequel. Oh, they made a sequel to Shoot Fighter. Is William Zavka in both of them as well? No retreat, no surrender. I think I did way back in the 90s, if it's the one I'm thinking of. Yeah, I think I have seen it. I couldn't tell you anything about it. It's been so long. In a lot of their movies, his movies and Seagal's movies blend to me because, again, I watch them in pieces as a kid on HBO. So I have a hard time sometimes distinguishing which one was which. I do think I've seen it. Although I did like Time Cop. Talk about the guilty pleasure in a movie that does not age well. I thought Time Cop was fun just because it was something different. Like it wasn't your stereotypical Van Damme movie. It was a little bit different. We did watch it a couple years ago again. Yeah, it loses something in transition age, but it was still kind of fun. Zavka, boy. Oh, okay. All right, yeah. All right. Shoot Fighter, you guys have still been on Shoot Fighter for sure. The crazier thing about the hallway scene in Daredevil is it's one of the continuous shots without any cuts. I believe it's presented that way. There might actually be hidden cuts. You got it. Scenes like that. There's tricks to make it look like it's all one take. And one of the tricks, of course, is to have something blur past the camera lens. It's really easy to hide a cut in there. So I think they might have done that. I'd have to go back and watch that scene again. But I do agree with you. When scenes are longer continuous cuts, that does seem to draw me in. And in Cobra Kai season two, for those of you who watched it, that last episode with the brawl, there's a lot of shots. There's multiple takes, but there's a lot of shots that are one camera shot. So I kind of loved how the camera follows the action. I think that helps kind of draw you into it a little bit more. But oh, yeah. What's that called? Daredevil did that really well. If you guys like the one shot, if you like the one shot takes, have you guys seen 1917, the one more one movie? It's not martial arts, but the whole movie is filmed to look like it was done in one take. And the cuts are hidden beautifully. It talked about immersive protector. I didn't know. I don't think I've seen the protector. Who's in the protector? Where can you watch Cobra Kai now? It's still available on YouTube. I know if you're a YouTube premium member, it's available for free or it's included that you can watch at any time. And I do know they released it for free at some point with ads. I'm not sure if it's still there with the ads. I imagine it is, especially with season three somewhere on the horizon. But you can watch it on Amazon. And I do believe they released a DVD box set, which is strange. Cobra Kai, they released a DVD set, but not a Blu-ray set. And apparently there's special features on there that you can't watch anywhere else, like do leave the scene. So I'm kind of curious to check that out. And I think that is or was available on Amazon. I'm not sure if it still is. And if you want to watch Cobra Kai, honestly, I recommend signing up for a month of YouTube premium and just binge them. You can get them without ads. It's awesome. I got YouTube premium just to watch that. This is the North Star has great fights, but doesn't age well. If you ever wanted to see Denmark kill movies, that's your movie. I'm not really into Denmark, honestly, to be totally honest. I try to remain objective a lot of times. That's not my favorite aspect of the martial arts. I don't really put a lot of talking to it. I know movies are one thing. Oh, Fumio Demura. Yeah, how can you not like him? He's the original Miyagi. I have one of his books. Actually, Fumio Demura, I have one of his books on Cywork. And I worked with that a little bit, a little bit, maybe back 2008. I want to get back to that. I should get back to that. Oh, God, I would love to interview with him. He's that guy's got to be fascinating to talk to. And there's so many good movies. I figured you guys would be a treasure show. I've written down quite a bit here. I got a lot to catch up on. And it's not even going into many kung fu movies. I haven't watched many kung fu films. Like Iron Monkey was pretty cool. It was pretty much more the mainstream ones I caught. And then there's a ton out there that I absolutely missed. And to speak in movies, just speaking movies. I know Perfect Weapon. I love that one. And that seems to be a popular opinion. But he's like, he's got like, what, 13, 14, 15 films. And I am ashamed to admit, I have not seen the other ones. I saw part of Street Knight because it was on. But those weren't always on TV. I didn't catch those. I have to, those I have to go seek out and go find those. Anybody recommend any particular just speak in films besides Perfect Weapon, of course. I know they're not the greatest films. But it's, I feel like I have an obligation to watch these just because my favorite thing watching just speak movies is picking out techniques. Like he'll, he'll, he'll merge a lot. He'll do like a little bit of thundering hammers here, a little bit of five swords there. He'll do, you know, long form for here. So it's kind of fun. It's like a little bit of a treasure hunt to go pick out some of the curriculum in the films and see how he modifies it. Yes, best of the best we did talk about. That's one of my favorites. And we will be doing a snow dojo. Okay, so our snow dojo series. If you guys like us doing the snow dojo, the fun facts are like the looks of the movies, we'll keep doing that. And the next three we have coming up for snow dojo is Bloodsport and best of the best and the Perfect Weapon. I'm not sure which order that's going to be yet. I think Perfect Weapon will be the first one or the next one out of the gate. But if you guys like what we're doing with snow dojo, it was kind of an experiment, but we'll definitely continue doing that. Those are, those are really fun to do. Yeah, but like I said, with best of the best, the sequels, I was really, really sad this year they took the sequels because it started out so well. It started out so well with the first movie and then just kind of, I mean, it was like a rock sinking in water. I will say this too, okay, the people have mentioned in the past, not too much, but people mentioned that the karate could remake how my feelings on that are. I don't like it. The 2010, bottom line, I don't like it. More so for the fact, if it came out and there was no precedent set, like it was the only one of its kind and it came out, I think I would have liked it better. What I didn't like was, I didn't think that they put the effort into it. The choreography, I'll say, okay, the choreography was great. It's Jackie Chan. The fight scenes are great. Although it is kind of weird seeing him defend himself against like 10, 12 year olds. That's kind of uneasy and a little uncomfortable. But the tournament scene is just very well choreographed. So I'll give that movie that credit. What I didn't like though was, was that they literally took the script of the first film, picked it up and just dropped it into a new setting. And it was so similar. I've seen the original Karate Kid so many times, I can quote it, I can, I know all the lines. When I was watching the remake, the 2010 film, when I watched it for the very first time, I was able to quote 90% of movies. I talked along with it all the way through on my first viewing. And I'm like, what's the point? So they changed the setting. The characters in my opinion didn't have the same chemistry as the original film. I didn't feel that, that Jane Smith and Jackie Chan had that bond that Miyagi and Gaino did. It just didn't feel like it was there. And in the age, Megan and Younger didn't feel right. The teenage love story with the story of bullying and the tournament I felt was more appropriate. But when you start doing love stories at like 12, 13, it's kind of weird. But then like I said, Jackie Chan fighting kids, I don't like that they de-aged the characters. I think that took a lot away from it. I know the topic of bullying was still pretty heavy in there, but I just don't think it added to the film. And I don't like that the bullies were stereotyped. Like you honestly really can't tell them apart. Like there's really no distinct personality between them. But the cobers, you know, Johnny, Tommy, Bobby, Jimmy, you know, they had in Dutch, I mean, come on, they were their own unique characters. But in the remake, they just, I just didn't feel like that that effort was there, that distinction was there. I wish I could have made one great film like The Perfect Weapon and not seven more crappy ones. That's funny. That's funny. I have to fuck. All right. I didn't even know he did a roast. I love Master Can, but I didn't even know he did a roast. And check that out. Man. What a dream would be. What an absolute dream would be would be for us to do an art of one movie. We're nowhere near that level yet. But you know, hopefully this channel keeps going where we're going. You guys have been awesome with support. And it's one of those things that, you know, you know, Zach and I, we do video production and we've always wanted to do films and defend the film. So we're hoping that one day, art of one and our love for films can emerge. That would be frickin amazing to be able to do a film for you guys. The new remakes. Oh, new remakes of kickboxers here is pretty good. Okay. Check it out. I saw the first one. I have not seen any of the sequels or the remakes. I recently watched a deadly takeover with Jeff Speakman. Similar plot to Die Hard. There shouldn't be a lot of movies that rip off Die Hard, but deadly takeover. Okay. Like I said, I saw parts of Street Knight, only parts of it. Thomas in Griffith in Excessive Force. What's that one about? Excessive Force. That sounds like that came out, what about 90s ish? Yeah, I'm going to check that one out. The other complaint I have about the Karate Kid films and TV series is the lack of amazing martial arts choreography. Now, I would agree with you now. Yes. I think the Cobra Kai is a better choreograph, but you talk about the time when the Karate Kid came out. There really wasn't a movie of its kind then. And what I do like about the choreography, as simple as it is in the original Karate Kid. And I think this is a great that you point points us out. The reason I like the choreography is it feels a little bit more realistic. It's a little bit messier. When the characters get hit, they get hurt. Daniel feels every hit. He reacts like somebody really would get hit. He reacts the way somebody really would react if they got kicked in the ribs or punched in the face. And for being on the lower level, what it is to portray real life and tournament fighting, they were all practical moves. Nobody really did that many fantastical jump spinning stuff except Darryl Vidal, who's just badass in real life anyway. He's amazing. But I think it was very realistic for what the characters were for what was presented. Is it awe inspiring? Is it really dazzling on screen martial arts? No, of course not. Even in the sequels where they tried like an Okinawa when Miyagi got a little more into it. Yeah, it's definitely got some cheese and it doesn't age as well. But I think for what they were at the time, it was pretty good. The Cobra Kai TV show I think has a much better choreography, although still has moments where it's kind of lacking. Like in season two, Daniel's fight on the beach I thought was a little bit cringe worthy. Daniel's fighting in the Cobra Kai is pretty cringe worthy and I'm not going to lie. Johnny looks great. Even though there's a couple scenes that look over choreographed, the tournament scene was fun. I thought as far as choreography goes, I thought that was actually really well done and the brawl. So the kids, the upcoming stars look great and a lot of them didn't have martial arts experience before doing it. So I think the choreography is pretty decent. Of course it's not up there compared to a lot of other martial arts movies and films, but I think the characters are the strong point. The actual fights seem to come second to the characters, which I think it should be in the case of Cobra Kai. Shaolin Soccer, Kung Fu Hustle. I have not seen Shaolin Soccer, but I love Kung Fu Hustle. I actually do for another viewing of that. I watched that again a few years ago. That one's funny. I love that one. I love the creativity of that one in the mood and tone. You can't help but smile when you watch Kung Fu Hustle. Master Ken was the opening speaker of one of those martial arts often. Oh, okay. So yeah, I'm going to have to see if I can go find that. So we're going to have about a few more minutes left, guys. Let's see. What martial arts films are coming up that you're looking forward to or that you wish they would make? Is there a martial arts film that you wish they would make that they haven't, like whether it be a sequel or an adaptation or something that hasn't been done yet? I know they tried to speak the bad adaptations, the Last Airbender. I didn't ever, I never watched a cartoon. I watched the movie, the live action movie, and I thought it was okay. It wasn't great. But then apparently it's like garbage compared to the cartoon. So is there anything out there? So anything coming up? Any sequels coming up? Any martial films that you wish would be made or are being made? I know they're doing John Wick 4, which I'm always looking forward to that one. The Last Airbender. So you would rather do you want to see the Last Airbender remake? Have them try it again? That's fair enough. Are they going to make any more man movies? Four just came out, I believe, right? I should probably catch up before they make 20 of them. Maybe one day we'll get the best of the best five. Hopefully not. I wouldn't mind seeing another Kung Fu hustle. Hey Dan, my college teacher wants me to be a teaching assistant. Why not? If you're being an assistant, does it really allow pressure there? It could be a learning experience. If your instructor is asking you to be a teaching assistant, give it a shot. You don't have to commit long term, just give it a try. You might find yourself loving it. Could we OB2? Okay. Okay. The Art of Self-Defense was bad and good at the same time. It was good for the inside jokes. As an overall film, it was okay, but if you're in the martial arts and you understand the jokes, it does make it a lot better. Again, for those of you who I mentioned a little while back, Kung Fury, a fan film, should be available on YouTube where it was really ridiculous, really, really ridiculous and silly. It's like somebody made it look like an old 80s retro and it's absolutely bizarre. I mean, it's really bizarre in that they crank up the 80s cheese to 11. It's nuts. They are making a sequel. They're making another one of those. I don't know where the progress is, but apparently Schwarzenegger has been hired to be in it in its full length. So I really want to see where they go with that one. The John Wick films? Yes. I love the John Wick films. I love watching those and I'm looking forward to number four. And yeah, Kung Fury is great. Actually, I gotta go watch that again too. Mortal Kombat 2021. Yes, I will agree. I'm looking forward to that one. Again, cautiously optimistic, but we look forward to that one. All right, guys. I think we're going to wrap it up here for today. We've been streaming for a bit now. I kind of like to see where you guys are. You guys are giving me a ton of suggestions. I have a lot to go watch, a lot to go catch up on. So I do appreciate you guys joining in and being a part of this. And if you guys want, we'll do some more Stendojos. Like I said, we've got Bloodsport, best of the best, and Perfect Weapon will be the next ones in the chamber for that. And we'll get those going out there. And thank you all so much for chiming in and giving me your recommendations. And maybe we'll touch back again. A lot of these might end up being on future Stendojo episodes. But thanks, guys. Hope you have a great rest of your day. And we'll see you next time. All right. Bye-bye.
