That's actually a 100% true. If memory serves correct, Van Damme was also inspiration for Johnny Cage. Billy Blanks character Khan from King of the Kickboxers was also inspiration for Dee Jay from the Street Fighter series.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yeah Van Damme was definitely an inspiration for Johnny Cage. I actually thought it was him when i first played it on the arcade at one of my local grocery stores back in '92. He even did the exact same split nut-punch, which i used to spam all the time lol

 

[CiG]

JCVD uses that split nut-punch move against the sumo dude in Bloodsport doesn't he?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Yup! Man i love that movie.

 

[RadicalThrasher]

You guys ever see the Magic Crystal? Ridiculous HK movie, but has some of my favorite fight scenes.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

and the guys from Only The Strong probably had a huge influence on Eddy from Tekken

BANANA WAY! BANANA WAAAY!

Sagat is my favorite fighting game character of all time! Nobody can fuck with me in Street Fighter if i pick him.

hah, that was fun!

sadly i havent seen too many HK fight movies outside of the Bruce Lee ones. This would probably have to be one of my favorite fight scenes of all time ...

Oh hell yeah my man Andy Lau in the black outfit!

Rewatched Synechdoche, New York after 10 years (holy crap it's been that long already?), voluntarily putting me into another depression. Man this movie is bleak but so good. Don't think I understand even 20% of what is trying to be said with it though, but I definitely picked up a ton more details this time around.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Modern classic.

 

[CiG]

I'm planning to see that at the cinema myself, can't fucking wait.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

You'll love it.

 

[CiG]

You'll love it.

It isn't being shown over here until late fucking August apparently.
