Gettin' Jenga Wit It

Only the purest of martial arts fans have probably seen this movie or have any
real knowledge of capoeira, but this is still a classic. Hollywood needs to
give Mark Dacascos more exposure. This man is a world champion on several
occassions, skilled in several arts and is always entertaining to watch. He
is what Van Damme THINKS he is. The story of one person trying to make a
difference and teaching troubled kids may have been done before, but Dacascos
plays his part well, and the capoeira fights (particularly the last one with
the swords) were nice. I recommend it to anyone interested in seeing what
capoeira is all about, and for anyone who's never heard of Mark Dacasocs, he's
the real deal.

i agree with you he does need more hollywood exposure he was great in le pacte des loups A.K.A Brotherhood of the wolf.that last fight scene is the best.capoeira is very cool and Mark Decascos is so much better at acting and fighting than vam damme
