‘Havoc’ and ‘Headshot’ star Sunny Pang introduces martial arts action to the vertical format in ‘The Executioner’

“The Executioner” Poster

Thanks to the smartphone, a new format has been on the rise for some time: the vertical format. This short-form, scripted video type – typically between one and two minutes per episode – is shot in an aspect ratio specifically for mobile phone viewing (it’s basically the opposite of widescreen).

The format is mostly known for dramas, hence the name “micro drama”, which is a style that blew up in China through platforms like TikTok. But now martial arts star Sunny Pang (Havoc, The Night Comes for Us, Headshot) is teaming up with writer/director Sam Loh (The Driver) to bring some hard-hitting action to the format with The Executioner.

The fight choreography is handled by Sunny Pang’s own Ronin Continue reading →

Mexicali (2026) Review

Posted on March 15, 2026 by Z Ravas
"Mexicali" Theatrical Poster

“Mexicali” Theatrical Poster

Director: Luke LaFontaine
Cast: Bren Foster, Tania Raymonde, Plutarco Haza, Kris Van Damme, Louis Mandylor
Running Time: 99 min. 

By Z Ravas

Mexicali is a movie that knows precisely what its audience wants and decides to give it to them without delay. It’s been two short years since Bren Foster broke out on the international action scene with Life After Fighting, and the filmmakers behind Mexicali understand that fans are likely curious if that movie was a one-off or if Foster will continue to cement his status as a rising star in the martial arts world; therefore, Mexicali opens with Foster in the ring for not one, not two, not three, but four fights in a row. Befitting a movie with a former stuntman in the director’s chair, the fight choreography here is top notch, and Foster very quickly proves that Life After Fighting was no fluke, as the man seems incapable of not going Beast Mode whenever a scene calls for him to throw a punch or kick.

Needless to say, the wait for Bren Foster’s follow-up to Life After Fighting was worth it. Mexicali arrives from Luke LaFontaine, the aforementioned former stuntman and second unit director with past credits on many Direct to Video action efforts like Jesse V. Johnson’s Savage Dog and The Mercenary. It’s likely no coincidence, then, that Jesse V. Johnson wrote the script Continue reading →

The Forbidden City (2025) Review

Posted on March 15, 2026 by Paul Bramhall

“The Forbidden City” Poster

Director: Gabriele Mainetti
Cast: Yaxi Liu, Enrico Borello, Marco Giallini, Sabrina Ferilli, Shanshan Chunyu, Elisa Wong
Running Time: 139 min.

By Paul Bramhall

Is there another city in Europe that has more connection to the kung-fu genre than Rome? I’m going to say no. From providing the classic backdrop to Bruce Lee’s directorial debut Way of the Dragon in 1972, it would go on to inspire several other productions to film in its historical streets. Seasonal Films founder Ng See-Yuen would team up with Bruce Leung for 1974’s double bill of Kidnap in Rome and Little Godfather from Hong Kong. See-Yuen would return again for the Bruce Lee biopic Bruce Lee: The Man, The Myth in 1975. The 1982 Bruceploitation production Bruce Strikes Back would film there, swapping out Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris for Bruce Le and Hwang Jang Lee in an epic colosseum showdown. So it’s perhaps fitting that, in 2025, Italy decided to film its very own kung-fu movie there, in the form of The Forbidden City.

Following his superhero themed feature length debut with 2015’s They Call Me Jeeg Robot, and similarly themed sophomore production Freaks Out from 2021, The Forbidden City marks the 3rd outing for director Gabriele Mainetti. Turning his attention to a more grounded style of action, with the casting of Yaxi Liu as the lead it would seem he means business when it comes to having genuine martial arts talent onscreen.

Made the same year as Police Story, Heart of Dragon was a change of pace for the great action artists, giving them a chance to show of their acting chops as well as their stunt skills – even if they don’t ignore the latter!

The latest period piece from Korea has turned into quite the cultural phenomenon on its home soil, one which is continuing to play out as of the time of writing (March 2026). Having recently passed 11 million admissions, that makes it only the 25th movie in Korean history to pass the 10 million admissions mark, but more significant is its impact on the current cinema landscape. Attendance has struggled to get anywhere near its pre-pandemic levels, leading to the local film industry being in the doldrums in a way which hasn’t been seen since the 1990’s. The last time a production hit the 10 million admissions mark was The Roundup: Punishment from 2 years prior, highlighting just how bad the drought is. However while the Ma Dong-seok vehicle had the benefit of being the 4th instalment in an established franchise, The King’s Warden instead opts to tell a relatively unknown (or at least largely forgotten) part of Korean history.

While the story is framed around the events that led to the execution of King Danjong, who reigned from 1452 to 1455, the actual plot itself is focused on the relationship between the deposed king and the chief of the village he’s exiled to. Masterminded by a politician named Han Myeong-hoe, the kings uncle pulled off a successful coup d’état in 1453 which dethroned the then just 12-year-old king, with the councillors who’d been governing the country on his behalf publicly Continue reading →
