I think John Foo deserves the lead in the American Remake of THE RAID

I like his fight choreography & I think he looks like Iko Uwais a little bit. Why not? Its just different from the usual Jason Statham & Scott Adkins claims for leading the movie. Just thinking outside the box here that's all. What u think of an American Remake of THE RAID is debatable, but its coming.

I agree, maybe they shouldn't remake the film, but... if they are going to... Jon would be awesome! He was incredible in EXTRACTION. I hope someones taking notice. EXTRACTION was made by Sony. They're remaking RAID, maybe he's already on a list?

The Raid is a perfect movie... No need for a crappy American remake...

well, they are making it. just signed the director of expendables 3.
i agree, they shouldn't. but they are.
and if they are, then they SHOULD consider Jon.
He's excellent.

Jon Foo is awesome I am shocked he only has 15 credits,I thought he would at least be doing more straight to DVD action/Martial ARts films after Tekken, I know his acting is not that good but he kicks ass he should be getting gigs based on that
he would be a great addition to the Remake of the Raid,if not that movie he definitely deserves to be in more action/martial arts flicks maybe Star Alongside Lundgren,Seagal,Adkins, Michael Jai White,Gary Daniels or Van Damme
Jon is a beast
