“Yuanli Jianghu” Poster

Martial arts star Jet Li is back and busier than ever. Fresh off his comeback role in Blades of the Guardians, he has been keeping fans engaged through his YouTube channel and now he is bringing his talents to the small screen.

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 Jet Li (Blades of the Guardians) is using the format to bring some hard-hitting action with Continue reading →

“Agent Recon” Theatrical Poster

It’s been a somber last few days for fans of action and martial arts cinema, but Chuck Norris (Slaughter in San Francisco) leaves behind a lasting legacy of films we can revisit and enjoy for years to come.

Our favorites of his will always be 1982’s Silent Rage, 1983’s Lone Wolf McQuade, 1985’s Code of Silence, 1985’s Invasion U.S.A. (it’s essentially “Die Hard in South Florida!”) and 1986’s Delta Force, but if you’re curious about one of his last released action films, it was Agent Recon, a 2024 production that had the iconic martial arts star team up with Marc Singer (The Beastmaster, V) and Derek Ting. 

In Agent Recon (the follow-up to Ting’s Agent Revelation and Agent), a covert military task force tracks a mysterious energy disturbance at a secret base Continue reading →

Chuck Norris, the legendary martial artist, actor, and pop culture icon, has passed away. Rising to fame through films and the hit TV series Walker, Texas Ranger, he became known for his tough-guy persona and unmatched screen presence.

Beyond Hollywood, Norris was a real-life karate champion and later an enduring internet legend thanks to the viral “Chuck Norris facts.” He leaves behind a legacy of strength, discipline, and lasting influence on martial arts and action cinema.

Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers go out to his family and loved ones.
