  • I love how so many martial arts masters and movie stars are just the most humble people. Rather than clashing egos, they just compliment the hell out of each other. Such great role models. It'd be nice to see more of that attitude in combat sports.

    @alstone4253@alstone42533 жыл бұрын
    • Fighters in combat sports are real martial artists, because as the name suggests, martial arts were developed for fighting and killing people. 99% of those movie stars never competed in any combat sport, so what are you talking about? The atittude fighters present sells the fights, it's their job. How can you say that someone is role model if you don't know any of these people in person? They are humble and nice to each other, because they are actors, most of them have never fought anywhere, it's not what they do. It's hard to call role models people like Van Damme, Seagal, Michael Jai White and even Bruce Lee.

    • @@smesh141 you can sell a fight and still be respectful to one another. That sort of attitude should go hand-in-hand with marital arts training whether it involves combat sports or not. Also how can you say you have to know someone in person to judge them as a role model? That's a ridiculous statement. I guess next time someone says Nicki Minaj is a bad role model for young girls, I'll just say "you don't even know her!" And how the hell do you say you can't call someone like Bruce Lee a role model?!

      @alstone4253@alstone4253 Жыл бұрын
    • @@alstone4253 Of course that you can sell fight being humble and respectful, but it's obvious that you can sell it much better when tension between fighters is stronger. It's their job, that's what they do for living. Most of the time it's not even real between them, it's more staged. Same with movies, someone can ask why martial arts masters (as you call them) stars in movies where there is so much brutality, revenge, hurting and killing people etc. To make money of course, but it's staged, just like most trash talk between fighters. It's obvious that in public most people try to behave nice, but we don't know any of them in person. For example Bruce Lee, he can be inspiration in many ways, but role model? There are no role models, people try to idealize famous people basing on their public image and behaviour, but they are just regular people with ups and downs. Bruce Lee for example was addicted to drugs, why most people never said anything about that? Because they idolize him and it doesn't fit to their perfect image of his which they created in their own imagination.

The dude has serious, if underrated charisma. And even though i havent been following Scott for as long, he is growing on me. A very impressive martial artist and performer. And it is pretty neat to hear him use his natural accent. I didnt expect him to have such a good narration voice. If Scott ever gets bored with doing MA films, he should look into voice acting.

  • Many years ago in Sydney, while filming the Matrix sequels at Fox Studios, Keanu Reeves walked into my video store. He requested some recommendations on martial arts flicks. He was of course well versed in anything to do with Woo-Ping and the likes of Iron Monkey, so what did we recommend instead? Friggin' Drive with Dacascos. He rented it and loved it, said it was 'fantastic'. SIDE STORY: He would not take off his bike helmet for fear of being recognised... which half-worked, because once he started speaking there were many chucklesome double-takes from customers.

    • ​@@elrey1176 Keep in mind this was near 20 years ago now, back in the age where you couldn't rent a movie without photo ID and a credit card. So at one point in time I not only had all those details on Keanu... but his mobile number as well! "Woah". Besides, if you spoke to Keanu for a good 15 minutes odd, bike helmet or not, you really wouldn't recognise him? He obviously did not have his visor down if it need be said. But yes, we had confirmed I.D... and I must say everything they say about this guy is true, just a really sweet fellow. In any event we were very fortunate that our Video Ezy was situated near the hotel where Fox Studios typically housed their talent, the same Fox Studios where they shot the prequels as well as a number of Hollywood flicks of the time, so I had meetings with a bunch of other celebs: Ewan McGregor He was in a great mood with a permanent smile on his face and rented... a great white shark documentary of all things! Rick McCallum Came in and was fairly surprised I immediately recognised him. Bit reserved but a cool chap. Natalie Portman One of my staff was such a fanboy and so nervous at attending her he forgot to give back her credit card! Which kinda worked in his favor because then she had to come back. He then begged for the CCTV surveillance of this exchange which no doubt he has to this day on some altar somewhere. Anthony Anderson This guy was hilarious! Pretty much carried on like one of his characters. When I asked him to pick a 6 digit password for his account, he went with "Only six? Hmm, ok... LILDIK!" He said this VERY loudly while looking around with a big grin. Then when he came back in the next day he ASKED to immediately be prompted for his password so he could loudly say it again. "LILDIK!" "LILDIK!" Very funny guy. Temuera Morrison Swaggered in with a tiny blonde on his arm... who was about the same physical height. I immediately praised him for Once Were Warriors and the phenomenal performance he gave. I have to admit I was probably the most starstruck by this guy. Real strength of presence at that time and just... a casually cool dude. Anyway, there are a lot of others, especially aussie locals like David Wenham, Rachel Griffiths, Craig McLachlan, Isla Fisher and not all were terribly nice, but this book is long enough. Fond memories to be sure.

However what I’ve seen is certainly enough to be inspired by like Crying Freeman, American Samurai and some other titles I can’t recall. It was great to see him in John Wick 3!

So friendly, warm, and approachable. We talked about Drive, of course and I asked him about that signature punch Toby Wong does and he said that it was Koichi Sakamoto’s idea and it was based on the concept of channeling chi and releasing it in a strike.
