I've received a few links since my inquiry and Hollywood was definitely at work here. There also seems to be a following of folks trying to put the theories to test (paintball arenas and such). Also learned that the fight choreagraphy was done by a guy named Jim Vickers who has several martial arts to his credit inclusive of escrima (the siniwali patterns were unmistakable). http://www.sci-fi-online.50megs.com/Interview/03-08-29_JimVickers.htm As a movie fan, especially martial arts movies I'd like to see more of our art in film. Since "The Hunted" , there doesn't seem to be many other productions out there featuring our art. Is anyone on the list in tuned with the following: * training actors in FMA * giving FMA seminars to stunt groups and expanding their knowledge of our art * communicating with film studios that regularly produce action films. * contacts in the Phllippine movie industry. Most of what I see on film is not a true representation of our art. The Jet Li scene in "Kiss of the Dragon" is a good example of what I referring to. While running from attackers he runs directly into a dojo training area were everyone is equipped with bastons. He takes them all out using "stop / hit" motions. Great. nice . but I would have LOVED to see the hero perform FMA in that situation. Since Hollywood is in retro mode now and period pieces are all the rage..Kingdom of Heaven, Gladiator, how about a treatment on Lapu Lapu defending the honor and pride of the Phillipines on film featuring FMA in the fight scenes. Now there's something I'd like to see. I think its cool when folks like the Rock - who will be featured as King Kamehameha. the unifier Hawaii's islands, used his clout to feature the martial arts and dance of the region on film. Not only more historically correct, it does honor to those who continue to practice those arts to this day. With so many our FMA masters passing away in recent years, getting them and their art on film or involved as technical advisors on films I think is a homage worthy of them. If anyone on this list is seriously interested in promoting FMA on film. Let's discuss. Nothing is impossible.
