NEW EDIT! RIP Corey Yuen. 🙏 Had to crack how to do tribute edits for Corey's prolific filmography so starting with his & Jet Li's english language collabs: Lethal Weapon 4, Romeo Must Die, Kiss of the Dragon, The One, Cradle 2 the Grave, Rise to Honor, War & The Expendables. 🔥
RIP Coolio. China Strike Force (2000) Stanley Tong. I remember back in the day what a shock this was him popping up in a Stanley Tong film. Also acting opposite next to Mark Dacascos was such a fun treat. He was so wild and a complete original.

Shadow (2018) Yimou Zhang. Yimou's not just a master filmmaker but a true artist who passionately paints his unique masterpieces on celluoid. Also, the umbrella swords are DOOOPE!😅I mean really, prob the best weapon to come out of the genre since 70's.

Happy 61st birthday to the one! The only! The legend, Jet Li! 🎂 I have a ton of Li edits so let's get this party started! 🥳 Here's an edit from the underrated Hitman (1998) compiling Jet kicking all kinds of ass. 🔥
I've attempted several times to look for an actual theatrical release date for John Woo's The Killer & always came up more confused. But I'm going to trust Al who knows his stuff. 😎 Happy 35th Anniversary to 1 of the most important films I have ever seen in my life. 🔥
THE KILLER turns 35 today.
I assure you, you’ll still be able to watch this movie even after John Woo’s remake/reimagining/whatever drops on Peacock on August 23.
Louis Leterrier's (The Transporter, Fast X) kung fu drama Unleashed aka Danny the Dog was released on this day May 13th, 2005. "A man enslaved by the mob since childhood and raised into behaving like a human attack dog escapes his captors and attempts to start a new life." 🐶
Realized I missed celebrating John Woo's Hard Boiled last week which was released on April 16, 1992. Unarguably the greatest action flick ever. A regular movie would have easily cut out all this time, money & excess on display in this edit, but not Woo! & we are better for it. 🔥
10 years ago today the world lost the great Bob Hoskins.🙏"I came into this business uneducated, dyslexic, 5ft 6in, cubic, with a face like a squashed cabbage & they welcomed me with open arms." Here's my edit with him in the Jet Li action/drama Unleashed (2005). SPOILERS!
Happy birthday to 1 of the all time greats, Bruce Willis, who turns 69 today! 'noice' 🎂 "Hair loss is God's way of telling me I'm human." Same brother. 😮💨😅 Here's an edit from Walter Hill's now classic noir western Last Man Standing (1996). 🔥
This is dope! Just saw this sword kick on the Great Wall from Vincent Zhao that has inspired others to try. Clip from blue hippo films.

Mark L. Lester's Showdown in Little Tokyo starring 1 of the greatest duos to ever do it (Dolph Lundgren & Brandon Lee) was released on this day August 23, 1991. "2 mismatched L.A. cops have to work together to bring down the Yakuza, while trying to protect a beautiful woman." 👊
Duel to the Death (1983) Ching Sui-Tung. SPOILERS! SOUND ON! THE Duel ACTION REMIX! The best sword master from China vs the best sword master from Japan. Saw this 40 years ago on TV & ignited my love for sword flicks ever since. ⚔️ Here's my gift to you on my birthday today.🎂
RIP to The Master Corey Yuen. 🙏 Longtime & frequent collaborator with the great Jet Li, Corey choreographed many if not most of Li's American ventures. Here's 1 of my favorite edits from 1 of their Western collabs from The One (2001). 🔥

Love how he's always in shock when he has to do a death defying trick. He has done a million worse things why is this so shocking?😆But I guess thats where the comedy lies. Especially new 1 when he has to do the motorcycle jump. Come on Ethan, you can do this in your sleep!😅
New Kung Fu Cult Master (2023) Jing Wong. Donnie Yen, Louis Koo, Siu-Wong Fan, Xing Yu, Xin Xin Xiong & many more star in this epic sequel to Jet Li's 1993 classic. Getting conflicting release dates (& title name). Hopefully this lives up to the hype!🔥

Clean af. Jason made his own unique fluid style which puts him up high in movie fighting. But Donnie still the cleanest Mf'er. When we getting a movie with these 2? What's the deal there? Seems logical.
Happy birthday to divisive genre film director Paul W. S. Anderson who turns 59 today! 🎂 Personally, I'm a fan. "I don't make films for critics, and I'm not particularly interested in what they have to say, and they don't have a bearing on my audiences."
Happy birthday to eclectic cinematographer turned director Andrzej Bartkowiak who made the most epic rap-fu movie trilogy of all time (Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, Cradle 2 the Grave)! You know he's tops when Jan de Bont wanted him for Speed. 🔥
It's great seeing all the Equilibrium love on twitter which it rightfully deserves. I understand Wimmer & this flick are an aquired taste but idk what to tell the haters. Bale & puppies are a potent mix & if you can't find joy in him eviscerating goons to save puppies then... 🤷♂️
Happy birthday to the always great Kurt Russell who turns 73 today! 🎂 "I seem to have a knack for picking movies that go on to be cult favorites." Here's an edit from cult favorite Soldier (1998). 🔥
SPOILERS! Since everyone is rightfully jazzed about Kevin Costner's new epic western Horizon: An American Saga, here's an edit I did for Open Range the other week that I wish more people would have seen. I am so pumped for Costner's return to the classic western genre. 🤠
No Tears for the Dead (2014) Jeong-beom Lee. SOUND ON! 1st half action supercut! This is a flick that no 1 ever talks about. Some darkness going on in this but also some of the best tactical action scenes I've ever seen. Jang Dong-Gun is amazing in it.

Drunken Master II (never calling it "Legend of") (1994) Dir. (anyones guess). 😅 SOUND ON! Tipsy Jackie vs gang of thugs supercut! I just couldn't resist... 😂 It's still early here & time to kill. Thank you for your continued patience with me. 🙏🤣

So wild. Somehow have a copy of non US version of Demolition Man that changes Taco Bell to Pizza Hut. You may already know this but after 50 viewings my mind was like, wait what? They dubbed & changed the sign! Ya'll don't like Taco Bell overseas?😅

Remembering the great Albert Pyun who sadly passed 1 year ago today. May seem silly to some, but Nemesis made a huge impression on me. It's everything I wanted to see the way I wanted to see it. Will be posting a Nemesis edit each day this week to keep Albert's legacy thriving.🙏
Final clip from the John Woo Hard Target promo doc Sam Raimi reflects on the compromises Woo faced coming from HK to USA. Chow Yun-fat does the math on the US body count rules.😅 Raimi, "Even John Woo at 90% is gonna be mindblowing." He ain't wrong.🔥

Happy 75th birthday to Hong Kong actor/director Kirk Wong! 🎂 SPOILERS! Here's an edit for the epic finale of his cult action/comedy The Big Hit (1998). 🔥
Happy 50th birthday to martial arts actor Max Zhang! 🎂 Here's my edit of Max holding his own with queen Michelle Yeoh in Master Z: Ip Man Legacy (2018) from master Yuen Woo-ping. 🔥
Happy 62nd birthday South African actor Arnold Vosloo! 🎂 "Oh it’s a relief to do movies. You get to be like a little kid again & run around & play in this great adventure." Here's my edit of Arnold playing 1 of the great John Woo henchmen Pik Van Cleaf in Hard Target (1993). 🔥
It has been 1 year since we lost the great & talented Lance Reddick... 🙏 With this edit from John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum I wanted to show off Lance's badass side. 😎❤️
I think the wildest thing I gleaned from this doc of The One is how they went through the hardest possible ways to achieve their goals. The trial and error on this project is mindboggling. But they seemed to have studio backing on all this R&D.

If you listen to the sound effects it's a wild paper thin slice. The sword doesn't even have any blood on it. Bale is 1 of the most overpowered characters in cinematic history. 😅
Found this great making of Showdown in Little Tokyo clip with Brandon Lee where he discusses his love of the martial arts genre & his father Bruce. Pat Johnson was also the fight choreographer on Karate Kid 1 - 3, TMNT 1 - 3 & Mortal Kombat 1 & 2.

Sabotage (1996) Tibor Takács. SOUND ON! Action supercut! Don't ask why this now exists in the twitterverse! But you're welcome!😅Mark Dacascos, Carrie-Anne Moss, Tony Todd & Graham Greene star in this rather intelligent all time banger DTV from the 90s.

Thunderbolt (1995) Gordon Chan. Jackie Chan is lighter then freaking air in this flick! Here he battles the great Ken Lo & Kenya Sawada (Always hope I get these names right. I'm terrible with names😅) in a pachinko arcade from the 90s. 🔥

This bit briefly discusses John Woo's rise in HK & why Sam Raimi wanted him for Hard Target. Writer Chuck Pfarrer played Nat's dad & has a fun Woo story. Poor cinematographer Russell Carpenter looks exhausted filming a John Woo flick. As he should be!😅

In this clip Walter Hill refers to John Woo's The Killer as "transcendent". If there's a movie that shouldn't be remade it's The Killer but still kinda wish we got to see the Hill version. Tarantino also chimes in on the masterpiece in his own fun way.

RIP Norman Tsui🙏Recently have seen Norman in The Comeback & Song of the Assassins. Also last week rewatched Norman in the fun The Duel (2000). But importantly he ignited my love for the sword genre in the classic Duel to the Death in 1983.⚔️He will be missed. a

NEW! A Better Tomorrow II (1987) John Woo. SOUND ON! Chow Yun-fat's finale side mission ACTION REMIX! The BTS story about the clash between Woo & Tsui Hark over the final cut is epic. In the end they sent the reels to a 3rd party with no overall supervision of the final cut. 🤯
A Better Tomorrow II (1987) John Woo. SOUND ON! Sung & Lung ACTION REMIX! Ti Lung & Dean Shek TCB. 😎 Don't fret, made an entirely seperate edit just for Chow Yun-fat's side mission. For me personally, this finale was the moment I became a Woo superfan. He found his identity. 🔥
RIP Coolio. China Strike Force (2000) Stanley Tong. Edited together some highlights from the finale. Coolio vs Norika Fujiwara, Aaron Kwok vs Ken Lo & Aaron Kwok & Leehom Wang vs Mark Dacascos. Coolio really went all in in this flick giving 💯

What I love most about The One doc is the warts & all approach. It's refreshingly candid & silly in many aspects which I fully appreciate. A lot of docs put a glossy sheen on the process to make everyone look good. But making movies is surreal.

RIP Corey Yuen.🙏Just heard the sad news. Devastated to say the least. I must have around 30+ edits for him. A true legend.😮💨Until I can process I will just post some of my favorite edits as a tributes to The Master showcasing his amazing directing & choreography. So Close (2002)
RIP Corey Yuen. 🙏 The Transporter (2002) Corey Yuen. SOUND ON! ACTION REMIX! Hot of the heels of Kiss of the Dragon, Luc Besson & Corey Yuen team up again for Corey's english language directorial debut. Corey helped make Jason Statham the star he is today. 👊

Is there a more underrated early 90s martial arts movie then The Perfect Weapon? Speakman at his peak. Dante Brasco (Rufioooo!), Professor Toru Tanaka, Legend Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Master Mako. Mother F'ing James Hong! 👊🔥 This is just what the Dr. ordered. 😮💨
Here I compiled Corey Yuen's segments from the making of The One (2001). In it Ke Huy Quan translates for him as he was once part of his team. Corey discusses the process of dealing with the FX & the challenges of Jet fighting himself. 👊
A Wind Named Amnesia (1990) Yamazaki, Kawajiri, Rintarô. SOUND ON! Wataru vs Guardian ACTION REMIX! "After a mysterious gust of wind erases all human knowledge, a rehabilitated young man and an enigmatic woman travel across a ravaged America in search of others like them." 💨
Happy 51st birthday to French freerunning founder/fight choreographer/stunt coordinator/actor David Belle! 🎂 "There are no limits, only obstacles, & any obstacle can be overcome." Here's my edit from the French parkour action classic District 13 (2004). 🔥
Attack Part 1 (2022) Lakshya Raj Anand. John Abraham is a special ops badass who loses his love & is paralyzed by terrorists but has a chance for revenge via a computer chip in his head (sound familar, Upgrade). This flick was way better then expected.

Happy Birthday to the stone cold legend Jet Li. When Jet came to the USA everyone complained how he was "too fast" & to "slow down" so the camera could pick him up. Didn't realize what that actually meant til I did the Unleashed edit. This is what they were talking about. 🤯

Craig R. Baxley's Stone Cold was released on this day May 17th, 1991. "A tough Alabama cop (Brian Bosworth) is blackmailed by the FBI into going undercover in a violent Mississippi biker gang." Remember kids, breakfast is the most important meal of the day! 🦎
