  4. Too low. As long as the reviews are good, Incredibles 2 is going to explode. No kids films in months leading up to release and a beloved movie that appeals to everyone. I think $150m+ is more than realistic.

  19. SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY When we first met Han Solo, he claimed the Millenium Falcon made the parsec run in less than 12 parsecs to brag about how fast the ship was. This ignoring that parsecs is measuring distance not speed but we finally get to see it done on the big screen. I think. I'm actually not sure what Solo is about or going to feature. It's true nobody actually wanted a Han Solo origin movie much less one without Harrison Ford. It's true there was a troubled production with two directors being fired and a journeyman director being hired to finish the job. It's true we've had fine reviews that suggest it's good but not the amazing homerun it needed to be to win over skeptics. A very important weekend rules: NO SPOILERS EVEN IN TAGS. Post a spoiler, face the forum ban hammer. I don't care how fast you think we are, we're ban you in less than one mile. Seriously you have been warned. We want people to be able to discuss box office numbers without having to worry about a major movie being spoiled for them. And Solo is a major movie no matter what the haters say or how much it probably disappoints in the box office. DON'T STIR THE POT You know the drill. We have a franchise war thread for a reason. Don't repeat old tired claims about TLJ being divisive over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Bring something to the discussion and come here to have fun. You don't need to be negative or stirring the pot to just enjoy yourself. After all the big movie this weekend is literally the Star Wars version of Marvel's Ant-Man movie. Both movies are probably about heists and both feature beloved nerdy directors that are kinda overrated being replaced by professionals with good and bad movies on their resume. And you know what? Ant-Man is fucking awesome. Unless you don't like ants because they freak you out. Then you probably hate it. People will be banned. People will not be banned. Fun will be had. I'm sure some people will ignore our warnings and then PM me when they get banned for breaking the rules. But no matter what you do: MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND SALE Get yourself a Premium or Gold Account. Starting Friday we will have Gold Account Monthly at 25 percent off and Premium Account Monthly at 50 percent off. The sale will end Tuesday. ENJOY THE WEEKEND HAVE FUN IT'S SOLO TIME

  23. Movie Tickets Update 2018-05-24 12:00:50.609744 UTC 1 41.6% Solo: A Star Wars Story 2 30.2% Deadpool 2 3 8.6% Book Club 4 8% Avengers: Infinity War 5 1.6% Life of the Party At the same point in time last week: 2018-05-17 12:02:37.464061 UTC 1 50.8% Deadpool 2 2 15.3% Avengers: Infinity War 3 7.6% Book Club 4 6% Solo: A Star Wars Story 5 3.6% Life of the Party DP 2 is doing around about twice what AIW was doing in the dailies for Tues and Wed I think. So that kind of matches up to this, DP2 at 30.2% compared to AIW at 15.3% last week. This would indicate Solo is selling quite a bit less than DP2 was at the same point last week.

  24. Other Honorable Mentions Fists of the White Lotus (1980) Directed by: Lieh Lo Starring: Gordon Liu, Lieh Lo Fight Choreography: Chia-Liang Liu Smoothest disarm I've ever seen. If you were ever wondering where the character of Pai Mei in Kill Bill (played by Gordon Liu) originated from (this guy): well it comes from this movie, played by Lieh Lo... who fights with Gordon Liu! The circle is complete! ________________ The Five Deadly Venoms (1978) Directed by: Cheh Chang Fight Choreography: Ting Leung, Feng Lu, Robert Tai The opening scene to this movie is simultaneously hilarious and unsettling. I'm not sure how that's even possible! It's hilarious because some of the special effects are unintentionally bad, but when a child gets both his arms cut off in gruesome fashion, then it becomes quite unsettling. Then you kinda feel bad about laughing 5 seconds earlier. Then you feel weird. Behold: __________________________ Buster Keaton The grandfather of all movie fight choreography. Here's an example of a funny fight scene he conjured: Buster Keaton is featured as an honorable mention and not part of this top only because my knowledge of his work is too limited... for the time being. I intend on educating myself on his movies soon enough. It came to my attention only fairly recently that Jackie Chan basically cites him as the direct inspiration for his work. Say no more Jackie Chan, you piqued my interest! Expect some Jackie Chan sequences in this top, in case that wasn't obvious. ________________________ And last but not least... The Mortal Kombat Theme Song I think nothing pumps you up more for a fighting movie than hearing this song right as it starts. Absolutely brilliant soundtrack! __________________ And now we're ready to go.

  25. Honorable Mention Come Drink With Me (1966) Hong Kong (Mandarin) Directed by: King Hu Fight Choreography: Ying-Chieh Han Starring: Pei-Pei Chang Box office: N/A Synopsis: A group of bandits kidnaps the governor's son and demands their imprisoned leader to be set free in exchange. If you're interested in King Hu's filmography, I would recommend watching A Touch of Zen (1971) instead, a 3-hours wuxia epic that won the Cannes Palme d'Or back then and was recently restored to blu-ray. It looks sensational. Hauntingly beautiful. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest Chinese filmmakers of all-time. As for this movie, it paved the way for what martial arts/action sequences would later become. It's an important movie in the history of fight choreography, since in a way, we wouldn't have the later, totally kick-ass Hong Kong action movies we got without this one. It stars Pei-Pei Chang in one of the earliest female action kick-ass roles in Chinese cinema that's highly reminiscent of Meiko Kaji in Lady Snowblood, the movie that inspired Kill Bill (Got to see that one via recommendation from Tele!) Watching everyone think she's a man, and then realizing their mistake after the reveal is quite funny. Pei-Pei Chang would later be cast in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) as a direct nod to this movie. In fact, a few sequences in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon are callbacks to this movie, like the bar fight. An action movie that's 52-years old has bound to look ridiculous in some sequences. Watch this with an open mind. One thing though -- the period piece set design and on-location filming of gorgeous Chinese lush forests is quite the sight to see.

  32. #47 Jet Li vs 4 champions | Ending tournament sequence Fearless (2006) Hong Kong/China (Mandarin) Directed by: Ronny Yu Fight Choreography: Yuen Woo-Ping Starring: Jet Li, Sun Li, Yong Dong Worldwide Box office - $68,072,848 ($24,633,730 domestic) Synopsis: A biography of Chinese Martial Arts Master Huo Yuanjia, who is the founder and spiritual guru of the Jin Wu Sports Federation. My rating for this movie: ★★★★ My rating for this specific fight sequence: ★★★★ First of all, I would definitely recommend watching the Director's Cut of this movie, it's way better. And Michelle Yeoh also has an extended cameo role in that cut (stay until the end of the credits!), and who doesn't love more Michelle Yeoh? If that name doesn't ring a bell, it will, soon So we're starting this list with Jet Li's Fearless, one of the few Chinese movies in this top that were 1. released in the US 2. actually grossed millions of US dollars in worldwide box office. This is progressively gonna become more of a rarity with Chinese movies going forward. With $24.6M in domestic gross, Fearless was definitely popular in the West. Here's a review by Audrey Karloff I enjoyed reading on letterboxd: What this fight sequence's all about Clocking in at around 13 minutes, easily what sets it apart is that it's very cinematic and... dramatic! It's that long because it's a tournament, where Jet Li has to fight people one after the other. Fearless truly is a movie that anyone can enjoy, not just martial arts fans. It's a movie with historical context that's got something to say, and without revealing too much about it, this sequence is an awesome and fulfilling way to finish the movie. For once, Jet Li actually gives a good performance too, he isn't only there for the fighting. It helps that he's speaking in his native Mandarin here instead of being dubbed over in Cantonese by random voice actors as was the custom during his Hong Kong years. The sequence features lots of different fighting styles like boxing, spear work, sword fighting, Japanese karate vs kung fu, etc. Lots of variety, and very well directed. Lovely! About 30 minutes into this movie, there's another great sequence where Jet Li takes on just about anyone who challenges him that could have made this top as well. Great stuff. Jet Li is famous for a reason! Unfortunately, the scene is too long for YouTube (no one uploaded it in its entirety), so I suggest you watch the full movie. It's good, up there especially for a martial arts flick!

  37. What better way to start this off than with... Bonus: The worst Martial Arts movie I've ever seen Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997) USA Directed by: John R. Leonetti Fight Choreography: I'm think I'm doing them a favor not mentioning their name here. Starring: Robin Shou, Talisa Soto, James Remar Worldwide Box office: $51,376,861 (domestic: $35,927,406) Synopsis: A group of martial arts warriors have only six days to save the Earth from an extra-dimensional invasion. My rating for this movie: ★ Mortal Kombat (1995) grossed $122,195,920 worldwide on a $20M budget, and thus was a considerable success with audiences. It's also become quite the cult classic as it's a fun but flawed flick brimming with heart and cool moments. I like Mortal Kombat, it's awesome! This one is different though. Terrible dialogue, terrible story, probably top 5 worst CGI of all-time, actors being replaced, and most of all, terrible fight direction... what went right in this movie? Answer: Nothing. Except, well, if you're a fan of "So bad it's good" movies, then you can't go wrong with this one! Pop some beer, recline your chair, and enjoy, because that's the only way I'd consider watching this movie.
