Ness (2011)

Eric vs Lucas & Alvin: 3.75/5

Ed vs Hiroshi: 3.25/5

Eric vs Hiroshi: 4.25/5


Eric and Hiroshi have great screen fighting chemistry. I love watching these guys trade blows. Also Eric's fight with Alvin and Lucas is really good, even though it's short. I can tell Eric and Alvin also have great chemistry, and Lucas has improved tremendously.

Great work as usual, by the Stuntpeople.

Project A (1983)

Sailors vs Police: 2.75/5

Lobby Fight: 3.25/5

Bike Fight: 4/5

Jackie & Sammo vs Thugs: 3/5

Clocktower fight: 2/5

Finale: 3.75/5


Don't let the ratings fool you, this is a fun movie. There just aren't that many substantial fight scenes. A lot of it is chasing. The Finale pits Dick Wei against the 3 Dragons, which is a blast. Movies with all 3: Jackie, Sammo and Yuen... are rare. So this is a lot of fun. There just isn't that much fighting.

The Bike fight/chase however, is inventive and funny. I very much enjoyed it. And Jackie pulls off an amazing Clocktower stunt too. Worth the buy. Recommended.

Warriors Two (1978)

Mr. Tsang vs Cashier Hua: 2.5/5

Cashier Hua vs Swordsmen and Big 3: 2.75/5

Mr. Tsang vs Assasins & Big 3: 4/5

School vs assasins and Big 3: 2.75/5

Fat Chun vs Tiger: 3.75/5

Cashier Hua vs Thunder: 4.25/5

Phoenix vs 2 Swordsmen: 3.25/5

Fat Chun vs 2 Swordsmen: 4/5

Cashier Hua vs Iron Body: 4/5

Fat Chun vs Master Yao: 1/5

Cashier Hua & Fat Chun vs Boss Mo: 4.5/5


One of my favorite old school flicks. Besides the fight with Dean Shek, everything here is solid. The earlier scraps set up larger scale fights towards the end. Casanova's kicking is soooo good. Lau Kar Leung carries himself very well as the Master. Fung Hak On's Mantis style looks deadly. And Sammo is in top form.

This film is considered one of the best Wing Chun movies out there, and for good reason. I love Wing Chun as a martial art and many of the techniques and a lot of the philosophy is on display here.

Highly Recommended.

Nice Guy Hunter (2013)

1st fight: 2.25/5

Finale: 3.5/5


Eric and Irving sure have grown since they started making films. The first fight is really more about story than about technical prowess. In the finale Irving turns it up and carries himself like a star. Lots of tricks and athleticism displayed by him.

I enjoy this short film, if not for the finale alone. Recommended.

Contour (2007)

Opening Fight: 3.5/5

Eric vs Andy: 4.75/5

Dennis & Ray vs Vlad, Troy & Thugs: 3.75/5

Ed vs Rabbit: 2.5/5

Ed vs Phantom: 4/5

Tyler vs Thugs: 2.25/5

Ed vs Troy & Thugs: 4.5/5

Andy & Vlad vs Ray: 4/5

Eric vs Dennis: 5/5

Man, what can I even say? Contour is one of the best martial arts movies of all time. It's not just "good for an indie movie". It's incredible. It's honestly probably in my top 5 fighting movies ever. And I've watched a lot of fighting movies. 

What's so great, beyond just the pure quality and amount of fighting there is, is the variation of fighting. From 1 vs many, to a baseball bat eskrima fight, to a wing chun duel to your standard straight up kickboxing clash...Contour offers so many fights and every fight tells its own unique story through its own unique brand of martial art. Great stuff.

I mean, the ratings speak for themselves. Just buy it, support these guys. Go to the stuntpeople.com and see for yourself. HIGHLY recommended. 

Rope A Dope (2013)

Finale: 4.75/5

What can I say, the Stuntpeople simply rule. Adding Lorenz of the Young Masters to the mix doesn't hurt either. Eric and Dennis have the excellent screen fighting chemistry that they've always displayed. I didn't grade the other fights leading up to the finale because it doesn't make sense to. The finale is my favorite fight scene of 2013. And as a short film this may be my favorite SP short film ever. That's all you need to know. Highly Recommended.

Walter Garcia's "Hermanos" (2012)

Fight Scene: 3.75/5

Love the accompanying music to the fight. Gives it a distinct Latino vibe. Very good choreography. A believable 2 vs 1 exchange. And an interesting location as well. I dig this short film.
