In this episode of In Search of the Crystal Skull, Arun and Patricia continue Keanu Reeves Month by looking back at the 2013 Chinese-American martial arts film Man of Tai Chi. A young Chinese man named Tiger Chen is going through his every day life struggles making ends meet at his delivery job, supporting his family, and getting tai chi training with his master for a tournament. The CEO of a private security firm named Donaka Mark sees Tiger Chen on TV and sees potential in him recruiting him as a fighter in his illegal underground fight club. Tiger Chen accepts not knowing that he's been filmed secretly for millions of people tuning into his life and that he would be killed if he refuses to finish his opponents or if he loses a fight. An officer from the Hong Kong Police Department named Sun-Jing Shi investigates Donaka Mark to learn if he's the one responsible for the fight club and all the mysterious deaths and disappearances of people who were a part of the club. But due to lack of evidence, her superintendent tells her to drop the case. But Sun-Jing made a promise to one of the former fighters before he disappeared to uncover and stop Donaka's illegal underground fight club. When the movie premiered in theaters, it was a box office bomb making $5.5 million dollars out of a $25 million dollar budget. Critics had mixed to positive reviews calling it a "predictable, one note story", but praised the choreography and Keanu Reeves for both his acting and his first time directing a film. It's currently 71% on Rotten Tomatoes. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film? Listen and find out. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/old-school-lane/support

In this episode of the show we are continuing our double bill of actors-turned-directors doing a martial arts film with Keanu Reeves' Man of Tai Chi. Joined by our good buddy Jak we wonder what pushed Keanu Reeves to step behind the camera and why he never returned to do another movie. You will also hear us talk about the influences behind the movie, the Wachowski factor, whether the movie is too complex for its own good or if it is perfect the way it is, if it functions as a martial arts Truman Show, and most importantly we ask if Keanu Reeves' direction makes martial artists look cool.

Keanu Reeves is one of the best known movie stars in the world. His pictures have grossed more than $6 billion dollars worldwide. The Matrix Trilogy and the John Wick Films have accounted for more than $2 billion in box office ticket sales over the past two decades. These are among the best and most influential films of a generation, and they make Keanu Reeves, potentially, the biggest martial arts movie star that ever existed.While most people may not consider him a martial arts movie icon because, even by his own words he only knows, “movie kung fu“, there is a compelling argument to support the moniker, “#1 martial arts movie star in the world.”While Reeves does not have a traditional martial arts background he began training in the martial arts for the first Matrix (1999) film, undergoing four months of daily intensive training prior to the start of shooting that blockbuster film. His work with Yuen Woo-Ping, Hong Kong's acclaimed martial arts action choreographer, resulted in stunning fights and weapons scenes. Had it stopped there Reeves would still be responsible for one of the best martial arts and sci-fi films ever made; however, there was so much more to come.Reeves went on to train intensely and release two more Matrix films, which were filled with martial arts action fight scenes. Neo's fight scenes with Morpheus, Agent Smith, and The Agent Smiths are as good as any ever filmed. Reeves also paired with Woo-Ping to star in, and Direct, Man of Tai Chi (2013), a true martial arts combat film. The climax of that film involves Reeves and Tiger Chensquaring off in a classic, “old school' fight scene.2014 brought John Wick, a film by Chad Stahelski, in which Reeves again underwent 3-4 months of intensive training in martial arts and weapons to result in a stunning and pivotal film which transformed the genre and spawned two beloved sequels (with a 3rd in pre-production). The Judo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and weapons realism in those films set new standards in movie making, and martial arts fight choreography.With Ten (10) martial arts action films, $6 billion dollars in box office gross, and serious martial arts training in Taekwondo, Kung Fu, BJJ, Judo there is no question that Keanu Reeves is not only a martial arts movie star, but perhaps, the biggest that ever graced the Silver Screen.On this week's program, Marc Zirogiannis explores the question of Keanu Reeves' Martial Arts Superstardom.*This episode is presented by Bet Online, your online sports book experts.**Get free shipping at Balance7 when you use the code: BLEAVSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Do you love Keanu Reeves? How about humility? If you answered yes to either, then you’ll love this week’s episode! When special guest Jon Abrams challenges hosts Vanessa and Elijah to find a horror film to pair with underrated martial arts gem Man of Tai Chi, they must first admit to having overlooked Keanu Reeves for far too long. After an appropriate amount of time spent admitting their past failures, they make their case for Cheap Thrills as the perfect companion. Both films feature desperate men going down a dark path for the promise of easy money, but is that enough to convince Jon that it’s a perfect double-feature? Join the gang as they discuss why Keanu can sell absurdity so well, the dangers of not meditating enough, and ultimately, the thesis of this very podcast.

The Films of Iko Uwais are among the best martial arts action films ever made. Although Uwais had small roles in the films Rogue One and Man of Tai Chi, the world was, largely, unaware of the catalogue of action films he had starred in. It was not until his lead role in the English speaking, martial arts action series, Wu Assassins, premiered on Netflix that U.S. audiences became more aware of him. Iko was discovered by filmmaker, Gareth Evan, while Evans was in Indonesia making a documentary on Pencak Silat, the indigenous martial art. Together they formed a partnership, leading to a series of action films, including, 2009's Merantu, The Raid, and the Raid 2. Iko went on to star on one of the best martial arts action films of all time, The Night Comes For Us. Iko's charm and personality has helped him to penetrate the U.S. film market, starring with Mark Wahlberg and Dave Bautista in recent films. In this episode, Taekwondo Life's Editor, Marc Zirogiannis, explores why Iko Uwais might be the most important martial artist to hit the big screen since Bruce Lee.Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

For the third installment in our "Catching Up On Keanu" month, Trevor has Kyle sit down to watch the only film ever directed by Keanu Reeves, Man of Tai Chi (2013)! Starring longtime collaborator and friend of Keanu's, Tiger Chen, the film is a quaint, but technically sound action film that was seemingly built from the ground up to be a showcase of the at the time largely unknown Chen's martial arts ability. Featuring token appearance by several noteworthy martial arts actors, including Iko Uwais and Silvio Simac, the movie is a love letter to the genre that fails to break any new ground, but proudly justifies it's existence with the obvious signs of care and and commitment put forth by the lead actors and director. Tiger Chen, failing to emote but wowing with his tai chi prowess! Keanu Reeves, lookin' kind of stiff and making "ghost face" into the camera at random!

Temat på veckans avsnitt är kampsportsfilosofi-filmer!  Circle of Iron från 1978 var en film som Bruce Lee skrev från början, men han dog innan filmen kunde bli till. Man of Tai Chi är Keanu Reeves regidebut, som överraskande nog visade sig vara ett försök på riktig Kung Fu-film. Den här veckan har vi också ett bonusspår för nedladdning. Det är lite allmänt prat som vi hade efter inspelningen. Vi pratar lite film och spel.
