Return of Martial Movie Massacre

Send us a text


This year's editions of Martial Movie Massacre continue with even
more content as we put to bed the myth that martial arts movies
are largely responsible for martial art movie tropes and cliches.
From "The Avengers" to "Bad Day at Black Rock" via the Eon James
Bond franchise, the original Star Trek series and The Saint we
look at the judo chop, the generic throw and the double-axe
handle. These tropes and bad fight scene ideas emerged as Asian
martial arts failed to get a foothold on the mainstream market
until the 1970s, but once they were in place they would be hard
to shake. Yet, if we look at an unsuccessful post WW2 movie, we
note that things might have been different. 

Meanwhile, special guests, Peter Jones and Leigh Simms, deliver
insightful and entertaining contributions on getting knocked out
and heroes who break the law. 


Put down the gloves and pick up the pop corn!
