Keanu Reeves trained for four months so he could do most of his own stunts: eight hours a day, five days a week of gun training, driving training, martial arts training. And we have Reeves to thank for John Wick’s insane body count: in early drafts of the screenplay, about twelve people died, but Reeves’s response to each new draft was, “he could still kill more.”

the KICKBOXER trailer that kicked off this thread reminds how sad I am about Albert Pyun’s health and just the way everything went down with him

also it gets me very excited for the KICKBOXER he was not working on, the one you showed. but still sad, too.

Rumors have long persisted that Purple Rain was partially inspired by Samuel R. Delany’s fantastical masterpiece Dhalgren. Both stories’ protagonists are referred to only as “the Kid,” and there is indeed a resemblance between Delany’s crumbling Midwestern town Bellona and Prince’s Minneapolis. It could be just a rumor, but Prince was known for being an eclectic and voracious reader, and the resemblance is there.

Prince would make a good Kid

especially in his smallness and his weird mood/character swings in regards to sex having situations
