This is honestly a really incredible film for a high school student production !the lighting and cinematography shows so much potential ;this kid was definitely ahead of his time !I hope hes still making movies !😁
What the hell? This looks like of the top notch Donnie Yen movies in Hong Kong, and it has a high quality of cinematic value to it.
Thank you so much (: I am definitely inspired by Donnie Yen. I try to blend both American cinematic styles with that of Asian cinema because I've been equally exposed to both. I hope my style can develop into something more distinct someday.
Well Done, Kevin!!
This short film clip does NOT appear to look like a student film project at all. This looks more like a real movie clip extracted from a real action movie done by a professional team. Whoever did this short clip should continue to finish the whole movie. It would be ashamed if they stop here. This film maker and his film crew should have enough tools to complete the whole movie that has a real cinematic value to it. I will NOT be surprised if this movie is being picked up by a distributor either from America or from Asia.
agreed

your not too smart?
dudes getting faced pounded,and then bloof jist vanishes and the kid looks like hes fake crying. fuck that this came from anything good this is terrible lol
I appreciate your opinion. But also keep in mind I created this in high school. There's a lot I look back on now and wish I could improve but that's why I just keep making films right? Have a good day.
I love how you lingered on your shots instead of cutting left and right. Most action movies now a days just film loads of footage and have the editor direct the fight scene, but it’s obvious that you actually put love and care into your camera work and choreography. These are the kinds of projects that I adore from aspiring filmmakers, and I hope that more people like you, and less people like Michael Bay start making action movies.
didnt try to take the knife at all? bad guys are so dumb lol
omfg i watched this video again and was about to comment about the knife and i saw my own fucking comment 😂😂😂
Thank you. My email and social media contact are all on my channel. Feel free to reach out to me anytime!
Relentless Coming to CINEMAS and IMAX Summer 2018.
Damn this should be an entire film or a series or something :O was excellent work.
This is awesome! Better than American blockbuster fight scenes, where you can't even see blows connecting.
Homie should have killed him when he had a chance though 1:01 :D
Thats movies for you
because hand dude can wreack knife dude hand i think
The ending was messed up. He did nothing. He was just watching him fight.
Don't get in a knife fight. In real life even if your both alive, there are no winners.
5yrs later and this was recommended. Awesome Job here.
Holy shit this is like a real movie scene good job
this is a great short! i love the fighting style! real great job!
The only thing that did give it away as a student film was the audio when they spoke, while it didn’t sound horrible, it’s still underdeveloped like most movies, but otherwise, the camera work, the sounds of the hits, the choreography and overall feel of it is very professional and impressive 👍🏻
This was well produced, I would pay to watch a feature length extension.
Cracking little film scene. Very well choreographed and executed. Shot neatly. Not one frame went to waste. The main protagonist was first class as were the other cast members. Oh and I bet she's the sister at the end who'd rather neglectfully, forgotten to mention that she'd not been kidnapped but was off shagging the last one he battered lol
That was better than i though it would've been
If this was a movie i would go buy it just to watch it. And I like how your sister is the character from slug street scrappers! Tell her the fans need more of that series!
Thank you!
Wow! This was excellent! The choreography was spectacular. Well done, sir. I can't wait to check out more of your films.
Ohhh that was so dope. Just a few things from a viewers perspective, when the main character was beating up the boss, 2 of the punches thrown were not thrown with enough effort. Also, I found it a little strange that the boss didn't run away with the stairs right behind him, so that scene was slightly cheesy. Other than that, this was hella amazing and I can't wait to see more :)
+Hanven Yang Thank you for the constructive criticism. Everything is noted, and will help us improve our storytelling for future projects. We're glad you enjoyed the film!
Ye
looks like you have every equipment you'll need to make a whole movie & you also have an amazing group of stunt-peoples too...just go on with it...you can be an excellent action director in any movie industry...
Thank you. This was me in high school with no budget and just friends. I'm currently improving my craft so I can create wonderful things by the time I enter the industry.
Oh. My. God. Amazing choreography, cinematography, and acting. You have a future man.
Awesome! Very well choreographed!
great action , shot well. what happen to the guys blood at the end, bleeding mouth to no blood at all lol
YOOOOOOO!!!!!!This short film was awesome
Very nicely done. I'm glad I didn't go to THAT high school. I probably would not have survived.
Thank you!!
This is done really well. I especially like how you had a female villain go at him, cuz in a real situation like that, you're fighting for your life. It turned into something out of control and you could see how the main character was losing sight of himself. Very immersive.
Wow Kevin, i will remember your name when the time comes to create an epic movie
This is great. I am filming a fight sequence for my school this Sunday. Unfortunately. We have restrictions on how violent we can go.
Great work.
Fight choreography is one of my favorite things to do. I love it when its chaotic and there are multiple people and normally that is REALLY hard to choreograph, I might do my own (not as good) because of this.
Wow I appreciate it. I still have so much room to improve though haha. Best of luck if you do!
the dude with the tie has a nice hairstyle.
woa looks like a movie love it!
Wow! I really liked this. As an aspiring Martial Artist myself, the fight scenes didn't seem "flashy" or "cool" like in most Hollywood movies. Y'all did an AMAZING job! 👏👏👏
0:55 strongest kick I've ever seen
excellent!!
WOW!
Just wow.
3:03 Combo was dope 🔥
WOW! Pretty cool
This is a good short film
Hero holding knife while goons fighting without knife. This is where you gone wrong. Reverse it and you will have a great fight.

Thank you!
This is awesome good job guys!
You got a new subscriber :)
this is awesome asf!
Excellent!!!
The action is very well choreographed. Unlike some high budget Hollywood movies I know that use shaky camerawork and quick cuts... *cough* Captain America: Civil War *cough* ...
Looks professional. Awesome!
This was actually amazing, good job.
omg ur so cool!!!1111!!!!!!!11!!!!1
Dude, it was amazing you should show us behind the scenes
Appreciate it! I might. I still have the footage sitting in my hard drive so...
That's Riy yeah moun chinise
this is dope af
Gritty!
Good job rami malek 👍👍
this is awsome! keep up the good work!!
If you need any support I am in. You need a full film called relentless
Seriously good job on this, I hope to create scene at at least half the level this is at 🔥🔥🔥🔥
so.... what's up with the ending? was it a prank that went bad or something?
He understands, that he has killed some dudes in a parking, and his sister is fine, he thought his sister was killed, or something like that by the dudes he was fighting with, it was just messed up.
A few details slightly off like the attackers not taking the knife but overall an amazing fight scene with incredible shots
This was amazing.
absolutely great!
This was great but like everyone else said... They made no attempt to disarm him which would have been priority number one if you decide to fight someone with a weapon while you have none
Really, really well handled action, Kevin. I wish my student films looked this good :)
Keep it up.
Thank you!
shuddup rami malek go back to the bohemian rhapsody press
I like your channel and I subbed, what camera do you use ?
Dude you should play Nightwing if the character ever occurs in the silver screen or TV alike
phenomenal.
I love fight scenes with good choregraphys :D
I really hope, that i will make such a good stuff one day :)
grt friends👍💕
The fighting choreography is top notch professional and the premise is good.
But whoever cast the actress for the "Sister" role needs their eyes checked. I don't think it would've been too hard to find a girl/woman that actually looked like the lead. Or at the very least had her dye her hair brunette.
The one thing that I found off about the choreography was the people he was fighting while he had a knife didn't actively try to remove the knife from his hand but kept attacking him. That was really weird to me.
Amazing!!!!
+Shayan Safar WELL DONE SIR!
This scene looks like it came from “the night comes for us”
It's like an Asian martial arts movie with English.
This is like better than rackaracka
dope
when was this film made and who is the director very good job overall
I love this....
very nice
hi this is a job well done great fighting sequence. i would to communicate personally with director kevin Tsai if he doesnt mind. which camera did you use?
Hi, thank you for your kind words. I used a Canon Rebel T5i. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions.
This amazing but it bugs the hell out of me that not one of the bad guys tries to get the knife off him.
Fucking top-notch stuff. I'm curious as to what your background is in filmmaking and martial arts? How long did it take to shoot and choreograph everything?
Thank you! I trained in Wushu since I was 6, then later transitioned to Martial Arts Tricking and stunts from around age 14. I got into filmmaking through stunts because I would always shoot my own videos in high school and later found my passion for directing, cinematography, etc. This project took about 4 weeks of preproduction (usually during the weekends since I was still in high school at the time and had to focus on applying to college). We shot it in one day but it only worked out because we had so many weekends to rehearse. I'm currently in preproduction for my freshman portfolio film at Syracuse University, so if you're interested in keeping up with my work, consider subscribing!
Niceee although i l9ve it if the fight scene style is more hong kong like but still i think its great
It makes absolutely no sense. First thing as a natural reaction would be to disarm your opponent. So much for the great choreography...
Thanks for sharing your opinion. Just keep in mind I was 17 when I created this. By myself and 3 friends. Of course now I have improved a lot more and have noticed the flaws in this piece but criticism is always welcome.
Impressive work! Will there be a continuance? This was brilliant!
Tour
at what frame rate did you film this,i'm going to film a short movie soon and i wonder if i should shoot it at natural 60fps 1080p or 22/24 fps ? please reply and very good job you did guys.
The usual "cinematic look" is 24fps, and slow motion on most DSLRs are 60fps. I hope this helps.
Thanks man,the thing is i'll film with gopro hero 3 so i hope it will be ok
Best of luck. Just remember that it's your content within the video that matters the most.
great sound effects, for the fight scene, where did you get them, it is hard to fight good fight sound effects these days
Alright, Katelyn Brook acted in this movie but not fighted. Interesting.
God dayum
Interesting
I did not see this movie
*plot twist* he was an only child!
So. Mother. Fucking. Good. Oh. My. Fucking. God.
Thank you!
Kevin Tsai if you make any movies anything like this, sign me up for the premiere, because this is just such high level production. It's so realistic, and even big producers don't seem to understand what realistic type of combat is like. God I love it!
The camera work and quality was really good! Enjoyed the fighting style as well! I'm a little confused by the ending, has he become consumed by protecting his sister that he is no longer considering morales?
Spot on. And in the end, his sister wasn't in any danger anyway. It's really about his deteriorating mental state. Thank you for your kind comment!
Kevin Tsai Thanks for the quick reply, I'm definitely checking out your other videos!!
It means her look how she lo ok s like Indian shovk yeu
yo can you help me, i'm trying to get into fight chereography, but i don't know how i can find people who will be willing to act in it, do you know how i can find people who will act in a short fight film
If it's for a low budget film, your best bet is to have friends who are willing to do it for you. Depending on where you live, there may or may not be stunt people available. I live right outside of LA so I have stunt friends who were kind enough to help me out. If you absolutely need to hire people, there are many stunt communities through various social media platforms that you can reach out to. Hope this helps (:
Everyone on here wants to be a movie critic, I think this looks pretty good but I'm also curious who's the woman that appeared at the end some innocent bystander, I think he was too soft he should've killed the leader.
AYYYYY
Nicee
He's a disgrace to his art. You never kill unless you have to. What he did is illegal and forbidden of his art. He did not need to kill him he could have knocked him out instead.He shames his master and his masters masters and the founder of the art.
This is a film about a man with a mental illness. Arguably he is a disgrace to whatever art form you're talking about. But that's not what this film is about. Thank you for sharing your ideas though.
Did he just stab the black dude in the nuts?!
