A few weeks ago I watched James Rolfe's (better known as AVGN) top 10 Jackie Chan fights, and there were some good fights in, and I decided to make a blog about some of my favorite fight scenes.

#1 Twin Dragons
Actors: Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung

This is a movie that I recently saw, and not far into the movie is this great fight scene where Jackie Chan fights a group of thugs with a microphone stand. After losing the stand, he uses the microphone to kick some butt. Near the end of the battle, Jackie Chan lands on a table and break the glass in the table in half then one of the thugs picks up the glass and smashes it over Jackie's head ending this funny, but still great fight scene.

#2 Hard Boiled
Actors: Chow Yun Fat, Tony Leung

Hard Boiled has several great fights, but the final battle at the hospital is pure epic. Unlike most fights scene this one is long and clocks out at about thirty minutes, but it involves inspector Tequila and a few officers fighting crooks at a hospital. What makes it so enjoyable is the camera work and the flow of the battle unlike most movies were it is a quick scene then jumps, this movie features scenes that can last up to three minutes or more just following one character. If you have not seen this movie, check it out ASAP! This is definitely a must see!

#3 The Protector
Actors: Tony Jaa

Like Hard Boiled this movie has some great fight scenes, but the best is easily the staircase fight. It begins with Tony Jaa running into a resturant then thugs rush towards him then he kicks their butts, but it doesn't end. He starts going up the stairs and continues the fight, but now people are getting thrown over the rails or are getting beaten up. This fight scene is incredible.

#4 The Legend of Fong Sai Yuk
Actors: Jet Li

This movie has some great fights scenes, but the best is the battle that takes place on top of a crowd. Jet Li is fighting this woman, and if he beats her he gets to marry her daughter. But if he hits the ground, he fails. So after getting knocked off, his friends catch him then the woman jumps onto some of the people in the crowd then Jet Li and the woman just go at it again while standing on the people.

So there you have it, a few of my favorite fight scenes. All of these movies are pretty great, and I highly suggest checking them out. But if you only check out one then at least check out Hard Boiled if you haven't seen it.

Ah, sequels! Some times they are great sometimes they are total disappointment. However, Terminator 2: Judgment Day proved that it is possible to make a sequel superior the original in every way possible. So I decided to make a blog about sequels that just disappoint.

In the year 2002 a film hit Chinese theaters by the name of Infernal Affairs. The movie became a huge hit and was the start of the trilogy. The trilogy would go on to win 27 international film awards and also inspired the movie The Departed.

The first two movies were great, and the second is easily the best. But the third one was disappointing.

Infernal Affairs 3 picks up after the second one, Lau is still working undercover at the police station and he is reinstated as a senior inspector. However, he thinks every thing is going great. The people that were in his way are now gone, however it turns out that another cop thinks Lau is crooked and is set on exposing Lau.

What made the series so great is the writing, acting, and the tension that slowly rose through the movie. The third one still has all this, but where it faulters is the pacing of the story. The first time I watched it I was flat out confused when I hit the ending, but once I realized that certain parts were flashbacks, I started to under stand the story a little bit more but it still left me confuse. Another problem was some of the scenes were a little out of place. Some of the them just felt pointless, however theyflesh out the backstory, but since the characters in those are no longer around so they could have just been removed.

The movie takes place from the perspective of Lau, and it as the movie passes on you start to understand his paranoia. But when you hit the ending you get knocked back from the huge twist and it definitely clears up a little more, and the ending is satisfying as every thing is tied up and leaves nothing hanging.

It is not a bad movie, but once you see the first two, it doesn't even hold a candle to the other movies. However, if you have not seen this series, I highly suggest checking it out. It is a great trilogy that is definitely worth watching.

So after I wrote my previous blog, it dawned on me that the cover art looked familiar like I had seen it some where. Then I realized that I had seen it else where. It's the same art used for Alien Trilogy (a far superior game) cover art. Here are both cover arts so you can compare them.

Alien Trilogy:

Alien Resurrection:

Don't they look like each other than the Acclaim logo on Alien Trilogy? What in the world were they thinking?

I have both, and Alien Trilogy is definitely the better game. One of coolest things about this game is how when you kill an alien their blood splatters on the ground. Well, they have acid blood so if you walk over it then you take damage, which makes sense. It's a cool game mechanic, and I don't get why Resurrection did not use it too.
