Foreign action movies also have their own merits

I've been used to watching all kinds of Chinese action movies/kung fu movies/martial arts movies since I was a child, and I've watched a lot of foreign action movies over the years. The two protagonists in "Violence Neighborhood", one is parkour pleasing to the eye, and the other is as simple and rude as the plot is as sharp and fast-paced. The "Fist Fighter" series has sprung up. Tony Jaa shows off elegant and ruthless Muay Thai. I really don't think there are such movies in Thailand. I watched "The Raid" last year. It was brutal and bloody from beginning to end. The traditional Indonesian martial arts was also eye-opening. Today, when I watched the second part, I suddenly remembered that the Indonesian martial artist Ilu Santo was a disciple of Bruce Lee, both a teacher and a friend. He taught Bruce Lee the traditional Indonesian short stick technique.
The styles of these films are very strong, but whether it is the three fist fights or the two raids, they are all in the initial stage of local action films. The plot is simple and it doesn’t matter. Once the energy is exhausted again and again, it will be boring if the freshness is over.
In this type of films, the best ones are still Hong Kong films. Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Donnie Yen, and Stephen Chow are leading the way. Over the years, they have contributed action films/kung fu films/martial arts films with obvious layers and types. , if you think foreign action movies are the best, then you must be wrong. You are just used to mature Hong Kong movies, and one day you suddenly see a very raw action movie, and you are shocked. Just like in "The Raid II", Yuko felt that his father was doing nothing and had no prestige, and Keso told him that your father used to win because of fear, but now he won respect. This is awesome.
