If you haven’t seen director Gareth Evans’ The Raid: Redeption, you’re really missing something. It’s an amazing action film full of so many martial arts fights your head will spin.
Yes, it’s that good. And now there’s a sequel, which looks to push things to an even higher level.
The first trailer for that sequel, called The Raid 2: Berandal, has arrived and without wasting too much time we can safely say we were hooked from the first few seconds. Can’t wait to see the rest of this one.
Check out the trailer after the break. Look for The Raid 2: Berandal to hit theaters in 2014.
When you’re a successful actor looking for the next challenge, that next challenge is often to direct a movie. Add Keanu Reeves to that list of actors.
His first directing effort is a martial arts film called Man of Tai Chi. In it Reeves plays the owner of a Beijing underground fight club who recruits a skilled tai chi practitioner (Tiger Hu Chen) to battle on his deadly martial arts circuit.
There’s a new trailer for the film out today and in it we get a lot more of the martial arts action we should expect from a film lie this. And yes, there’s also a bit of story in there too, for those of you who like that kind of thing.
The latest trailer is after the break. The movie hits theaters on November 1.
When you’re a successful actor looking for the next challenge, that next challenge is often to direct a movie. Add Keanu Reeves to that list of actors.
His first time in the big chair is a martial arts film called Man of Tai Chi. In it Reeves plays the owner of a Beijing underground fight club who recruits a skilled tai chi practitioner (Tiger Hu Chen) to battle on his deadly martial arts circuit.
There’s a new international trailer for Man of Tai Chi out today and in it you can get a look at Reeves, Tiger and all the action. As the star fighter of the movie was also Reeves’ martial arts trainer and stunt double from The Matrix series, we expect some pretty great fights from this one.
We hope Keanu’s direction will rise to the occasion too. Look for Man of Tai Chi to arrive in theaters later this year.
Marial arts movies are pretty much always a good time. And this upcoming one called Tai Chi Zero looks particularly interesting. Here’s the scoop:
As an uncommonly gifted child, Yang Luchan had a fleshy abnormality that holds tremendous power growing on his forehead. However, being teased as the town fool, Yang’s mother spurs him to practice martial arts, and following her wishes, Yang travels to the distant Chen Village to learn TAI CHI. At this legendary village everyone practices TAI CHI and uses TAI CHI in every aspect of their lives. Nevertheless, it is forbidden for a villager to disclose TAI CHI to an outsider, which Yang learns the hard way.
Upon arriving at the village, locals discourage Yang by challenging him with fights. From the strong men to old ladies to children, everyone defeats Yang with their TAI CHI moves. After facing the toughest battle and being defeated by Master Chen’s beautiful daughter Yuniang, Yang is determined to master the art of TAI CHI and goes in search of Master Chen.
