episode 2: Ep 2 - Furie (2019)


The first official Vietnamese movie to be released in the US is a martial arts extravaganza starring Veronica Ngo. Will we give it our glowing review to it as a balls-to-the-walls action movie or will we say Veronica Ngo to it?

episode 3: Ep 3 - Triple Threat (2019)


As Michael Jai White said it, it's the ultimate love letter to modern martial arts movie fans: Tony Jaa not using the nunchucks on the movie poster, Iko Uwais swearing revenge with his bare hands but loses every fight and Jeeja Yanin turns into melted chocolate.

episode 4: Ep 4 - The Matrix (1999)


It's been 20 years since this revolutionary movie came out that has inspired countless action enthusiasts, sci-fi nerds and freshman philosophy majors. But yes, we also deem it a bonefide martial arts flick worthy of action breakdown. But this time: We don't talk about the plot! 

As Keanu Reeves has said it best in this legendary movie: EXCELLENT *air guitar*

episode 10: Ep 10 - The Villainess (2017)


Instead of reviewing John Wick, we decide to take on The Villainess, which John Wick 3 might have taken inspiration from. The movie stars Kim Ok-Bin as one character who looks like two characters because they look like two actresses but it's actually just one.  Oh and there's a revenge plot in there somewhere.
