Best Martial Arts movie ever


not even Bruce Lee could take guys so much bigger than him

reply

Watch Warrior, Bloodsport, Undisputed 2 & 3 those are better Martial Arts films.

I don't think he was serious. The Bruce Lee comment should have given that away.

reply

so does Rob really know martial arts?

reply

i would think that he would have to learn some for the movie.

reply

From an interview, he says he trained 5 hours a day for 7 months for this movie. Also, he was taught by Dan Inosanto, the head of JKD now & friend of Bruce Lee, the same guy who taught Bruce Lee about nunchucks (filipino version). He also learned escrima, the martial art of the Philippines, so I don't know if that was intentional due to his background. I notice Rob will sometimes insert things about his Filipino background into his movies.

He spent 7 month training with Bruce Lee's #1 student or somthing. They did actually live together for those 7 month. So yes. He knows som stuff. Naturally just what he needed for the movie but 7 month can teach you a few things if you spend a few hours every day training.

It's no 'Dolomite', but it's close.
