If I remember correctly, successfully completing this single take stunt sequence of running, leaping a fence, and jumping into a moving car is what got Bobby Samuels into the Hong Kong Stuntmen’s Association. He’s the only African American to ever be a member.

I was so hyped first time I saw this stunt from Tiger Cage II (I shouted "oh fuck") my wife ran into the room thinking something was wrong. Clip source is the 88 Films Ltd. Blu-ray.

What a phenomenal intro to a scene. Just 18 seconds and it provides geography, location, cultural context, character dynamics, and invigorating movement and energy. Taipei Story (1985) Edward Yang

I scrolled upon a debate about greatest action & martial arts performers. Not a single reply or repost mentioned Tony Jaa, who I consider to be hands down the best post-HK golden era screen martial artist. So here's a quick edit I just did of a chase sequence from Ong Bak.

This moment won Steven McKay the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Watch it again and again. The implications. The subtly. The character relationships. The unspoken volumes. Writing doesn't get much better than this.

"He surprisingly said yes when our producer got in touch with him because he loved my movies. All he wanted was to hold two guns, so I gave him two guns!” - John Woo on Kid Cudi

If the few Taiwanese films I’ve seen are any indication of the heart of Taiwanese cinema, I think my soul was made to be a Taiwanese cinephile.

The scale of Duck You Sucker (1971) is astonishing. Truly epic filmmaking of the nearly extinct variety. The best parts of this movie are as good as anything Leone ever did. As good as cinema gets.

Chow Yun-fat's range in this clip, from stoic cool -guy-in-a-suit double fisting pistols to anxious tension and finally emotional devastation is supreme. Easily the best actor-turned-action-star of all time.

One of the things I love so much about vintage John Woo is how nimble his mind was, taking influence from every thing he could find. The A Better Tomorrow films have clear influence from French and American crime films, Hong Kong martial arts cinema, and classic Japanese films.
