Jan 4, 2018 · Curiously, the movie that The Ultimate Warrior most resembles is the no-budget 1952 science fiction turnip Captive Women, aka 3,000 AD. Just as in Clouse's picture, warrior gangs fight for turf and compete for women in a post-atomic New York. A major scene even takes place in a derelict subway tunnel.

Directed by Robert 'Enter the Dragon' Clouse, The Ultimate Warrior is a gritty, uncompromising effort blessed with a quality cast and some brutally violent and well choreographed fight scenes. Baldy Brynner is perfect as the honourable hero for hire, and looks totally bad-ass stripped to his waist and brandishing a wickedly sharp dagger.
The Warriors. The Ultimate Director's Cut runs around one minute longer, adding a voiceover introduction from director Walter Hill describing a legendary Greek army's attempt to fight its way home, and comic-book freeze frame shots bridging various scenes in the film.

You know an action hero is the baddest of badasses when he or she walks in and the room goes silent. The drug lord’s bodyguards, the mastermind’s henchmen, or even the foolhardy pack of drunkards outside a roadside bar stand at attention, ready for a challenge. It’s just one person. This shouldn’t be too hard. Seconds later, they’re on the ground n...
Released only six months after the original, the 1993 follow-up to Fong Sai-yuk sees Jet Li reprise his role as one of China’s most famous folk heroes. The film sees the eponymous hero join the secret (and fictitious) Red Flower Society, which aims to free China of the Manchurian rule. Towards the end of the film, Sai-yuk discovers his godfather, s...
If there is a single movie you had to point someone towards to show when the comic book movie began to be taken “seriously,” it would be X2. If you were to have to point out one moment in the movie when everything changed, of the two that stand out (the other will be covered later in this feature), it would be Wolverine plunging his claws into a bl...
Ip Man (Tony Leung) is a legendary figure in the martial arts world. He is the man who trained Bruce Lee, and his exploits have spawned plenty of films recently. Wong Kar-Wai introduces the warrior in a free-for-all battle against a crowd of hostile Northerners. Wing Chun—Ip Man’s fighting method of choice—is simplistic to the eye, but its appeal l...
Unlike a one-on-one fight where the strength of the antagonist proves to be the challenge for our hero, a one-on-many fight gives the upper-hand to our protagonist despite the number of villains he or she must face. For Neo, now a master of sorts, gone are the days of discovering that he can outmaneuver a single bullet. Now with one swoop of his ha...
It’s a sad reality, but there are no adult comic book films anymore. The teenage boys won, and there is very little us action fans can do about it. The ‘90s were the apotheosis for a dark, stylish comic-based or inspired thrillers, and Bladeranks as one of the best. As soon as the movie opens, it’s time for the kiddies to go to bed. A rowdy vixen (...
John Wick was one of the single greatest things to happen to humanity last year, and this scene (well, every scene to be honest) was a big help in that. It completely realizes the mythology behind John Wick by enforcing it. Michael Nyqvist’s Russian mob boss Viggo refers to Wick by his assassin nickname of “Babayega”—the Boogeyman. Wick was called ...
The Raid: Redemption had some of the most incredible martial arts fight sequences to reach the Western world in decades. That film found Rama (Iko Uwais) destroying baddies one by one up infinite floors of a heavily guarded tower. In The Raid II: Berandal, director Gareth Evans demonstrates the full range of his style in not just one but several im...
Quentin Tarantino’sKill Bill films are love letters to kung-fu films and westerns, and as the climax to the first film, he takes the familiar trope of the lone hero facing off against impossible odds and dials the volume up to 11, creating one of themost over-the-top and well-executed one vs. many fight scenesin film history. The ensuing fight betw...
The Raid: Redemption is, by and large, an exhausting film. The incredibly tight pace combined with the unrelentingly brutal action makes viewing the film in one sitting a fairly draining experience, often leaving viewers as weary and worn out as the combatants of the film themselves. Of all the many fight scenes that The Raidhas to offer, none is m...
