Hey man, fences be tough. In all the styles I've studied, only the shinobi/ninjutsu have anything to say about them. "If short, jump. If tall, run the other way faster."
It actually felt more real, as though they were trying to figure out a weakness or learn the others technique instead of just fighting as if they knew it. Kinda like how boxers feel each other out.
I love how deliciously 90s this is. Random stranger is a master martial artist that gets into street fights for money and ends up fighting in front of a bunch of rich assholes. It really could be called Lionheart 2.
1. It was filmed in 2009 so its a decade too late to be a 90s movie. 2 What you said is true but this movie had a crime fighting element to it with his need to take down "James" but Lionheart was ONLY the fighting and it was desperation to raise money to help his dead brothers widow. Hell, even him being murdered was just a plot device to force the financial desperation as the murderers got caught. Lionheart did not have as sophisticated a plot since it was ONLY about the fighting (and evading those 2 agents trying to capture him) and NOT about taking down a major crime syndicate.
@@Zurround compared to this movie where he gets out of prison .... and only fighting to help the girl of his now dead "brother" in a plot that is all about fighting
How is this for a dream fight? Not the actors but the characters portrayed and I know its different eras and people age but BRUCE LEE from ENTER THE DRAGON vs. ISAAH BONE, both in their respective primes? Here is a SCARY thought. Mike Jai White was 42 years old (middle age) when this movie was filmed and I know he aged well and looked younger but my rule of thumb is that if a character's age is not told or made obvious by the story then I default to the age of the ACTOR upon filming so until I hear otherwise I will assume that Isaah Bone was 42 years old when he fought Price. Not to sound ageist or anything but that is past prime and to boot he was in prison for 5 years without access to the best training equipment or healthiest food. So what we were seeing in this movie was a HAS BEEN MIDDLE AGED PAST HIS PRIME Bone. The scary thing is imagine what he could do IN HIS PRIME. Prime Bone vs Prime main character from Enter the Dragon would be an off the charts sick fight. Note that even if Bruce ultimately does win its NOT the almost effortless without getting hurt at all victory he had against "Ohara" and I say that everyone else in that movie would lose to Prime bone even "Iron Hand".
Damn! Thanks Mr Squirel. Didnt see that. :D There are 40 years between these scenes! And his name even is O´Hara like the name he shouts in Enter the dragon when Bruce lee is schowing hoff his fast fist. :D
Too brief and I kind of felt it was not "epic" enough. Mullins did not hurt him at all (he probably had some bruising and might have been a little sore the next day). I had hoped that if they had made a sequel that in the next movie he has to face an opponent who truly is his rival.
Despite of being mostly choreographed bullshido which would never happen in a real life fight, it's well choreographed, played - and the whole movie was entertaining. A type of hero we all love! I even saw the film already twice.
I posted on another thread that NOT having a sequel to this was one of the biggest travesties in Martial Arts Movie History. I had wanted an even more dangerous fighter than Price who absolutely rivals Bone in powers and fighting ability and toughness to push him to his limits, and being how superhuman Bone is such an opponent would be SCARY. I also wanted "Pretty Boy" Price to have his own spinoff as a HERO and PROTAGONIST much as how Uri Boyka went from villain to hero in his sequel.
What most people don’t realize is earlier in the movie Bone said he never trained with weapons and then he catches that sword and shows how much he’s trained with them
Yeah...The Quest, Double Team, TimeCop, Maximum Risk and Universal Soldier (w/MJW as villain) were among the FEW of Van Damme's films with fast-paced fighting. One of the films he made with Scott Adkins and of course as the villain in Expendables 2 might be next runners up
@@MarcusSingletaryDMV no retreat no surrender , blood sport. Double team and knock off had fast paced fights , but he was doubled alot in double team and knock off.

@@realuser2 I know the same ACTOR beat him with plot armor but I wonder how Isaah Bone would have done against Boyka? If Boyka is superior to Price and if Price can put up a somewhat decent fight against Bone then I wonder if Uri Boyka from the Undisputed movies could at least hurt him somewhat before losing? Or maybe even win?
@@realuser2 I wish UA-cam would have videos discussing who would win in fight between fictional martial artists. They do it with super heroes and stuff. Bone vs the main character in Enter the Dragon or Jet Li's "Fearless" vs IP man or Tong Po from Kickboxer vs Chong Li from Bloodsport would be interesting.
This movie would have been so much better if they had just gotten a stabilizer for that camera during the moving shots. As it stands it looks like something someone filmed in their backyard.
At 4:28 was there even an arm bar? Bone landed with his elbow on the dude's hips, but the dude closed the leg before he got the elbow above the hip. What was bone grimacing at? His elbow would be jamming into the other dude's balls. All he's cranking is Bone's entire forearm.
2:38 ... "So, you're ready to fight, Mr. Burns?" "And if I don't?" And if he doesn't? Didn't he just ask that same question about a minute ago at 1:26? And didn't the other bad guy answer that question at 1:28? Sloppy writing?
@@maxandmoremax "you‘re just a little slow" Ouch. But you're right. Technically, he didn't ask any question. He stated, "You are gonna fight." I stand corrected. But my point is still valid. When he asked it the first time, he received the answer, "Then, you die." So why does he need to ask it again? Perhaps HE is the one who is a little slow. (Though I would never say that to his face!)

I could never go past 2 episodes on these copies of existing series or movies that were done 10 or so years before. And how fake the sword fighting really is. Anyone that is a swordmaster could finish with both of these guys together in less than 5 seconds.
White has a distinctive style that I love. I can't think of anyone who moves and carries himself quite the same way.

I love the constant "resetting" of the fights. Such an interesting take on an action movie fight typically dominated by non-stop fighting

That’s Bob Wall that threw the sword to Michael Jai White. He was “O’Hara” in Enter the Dragon with Bruce Lee in 1973!

How are the cops going to cuff James?
Nobody in any movie ever has had the talent of MJW.
It's a cool nod to Bruce Lee by giving Bob Wall the name O'Hara.
In this movie, Michael Jai White as Bone (the main character) and Eamonn Walker as James (the main antagonist), for me, did a really great performance
What did he expect? He threw hands with Black Dynamite!
best fights
James is the Icarus of this story, wanting to fly too close to the Sun.
Meet the most erudite comment of this section.
@5:18 fear starts kicking in. And it's at this moment he know he f*cked up.
At least the director didn’t stereotype the the hero with his choice in cars. And the sword swirling was the best in history
