-Chris Rules..

I dont think I saw this Pepsi ad...did they have like the Spice Girls playing Kendo or something...why was it so bad?

Back to the movie... is it worth seeing at all?

ROFL x3

My wife wanted to see this over the weekend. The opening action sequence wasn't exactly a kendo scene... It was a martial arts choreography to demonstrate how awesome the bad guy was with people wearing kendo gear.

Anyway, it was a good example of the mainstream view of kendo. Something like 6-8 guys in a 12' circle beating on each other with shinai, and sometimes they even used the shinai. Even the wife got a good laugh out of it.

At least it was better than the airplane sequence.

So should I pay $4.00 (matinee of course) to see this "kendo scene"..oh yeah there is a film in there somewhere as well.

Transporter 1 was okay...if not totaly overexagerated and overdramatic

i hate some chinese movies where one guy without a weapon beats up a entire dojo of kendoka.. including sensei..

your arm must be very tough.

transporter will make your eyeballs melt and ooze out of your nose.

but stratam is a good actor though

I'd like to see Chuck Norris do kendo in a new movie. Him and John Rambo both. After all, Rambo did live in a monastary for some time, why not kendo?

it's a fun movie if you don't take it seriously. I enjoyed it... no matter how ridiculous it was in nearly every moment

Yes! I too have my TiVo set for the keyword kendo, and it's caught that episodes few times. The kendo is horrible, as was everything else "Japanese" they portrayed in the show.

correction: pepsi commercial....-epileptic seizure-.

Kendo in the Transporter 2
 

Has anyone seen the movie the Transporter 2. Well there was a "kendo" scene and at first I was like wow cause thats in there but then was let down as it was not very real. Thats a movie for ya. But anyway I was wondering if anyone knows where the guy got the black shinai from??

Yeah, go to see it. Some one please tell me how the hell did he do that? You will understand my question after watching the movie

You eat garbage? Dude. Get to Kendo practice.

Now I have to see it, just to know what the crap is going on. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...s/rolleyes.gif

I liked Jason Statham in Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. I never saw the first Transporter, so I think I'll see that first before I decide on this one.

However, I would like to see the kendo scene, crap or not.

They sell a blackened shinai here. Not sure if I'd get it myself though.

Actually, I have seen a shinai like that. Unusual sort of thing really. I thought that having black would be against standards etc.

pepsi commercial.. -shudder-

my guess is that the movie people painted it so it would look "sweet" or so he would look like he was a "black belt"
