Iko uwais "the raid" series
Scott adkins "undisputed" series
Michael jai white "blood and bone"
Jeeya yanin "chocolate"
Tony jaa "warrior King" "ong bak"
Films mentioned above is what makes stars in the martial arts world but "triple threat" is a movie that puts these guys on a retirement line. No iko uwais brutality no Tony jaa flying antics. Michael jai white is a superb martial artist but his acting is getting worse and worse he didn't show his skill off in any of this movie. Scott adkins is an awful actor but brilliant martial artist I just don't get what happened to any of the actors. I guess you stick to many different styles together and you come up with the "clangers". Expendables this tried to be but failed miserably. The fight scenes to me looked like they may have used stunt doubles for some of the fight scenes which is a really pet hate of mine considering most of the actors were stuntmen or the choreographer of fighting. Why do fight scenes if the actors are not even acting it.we come to see the fighting skills of the actors not some nobody stunt man. Hats of goes to Tom cruise as he does his own stunts should of put him in the movie somewhere. All in all I looked forward to this for a long time since comic con trailer but it should of stayed in a comic book it was awful highly dissapointed and all these actors are going to need a big movie to bring the credibility back to them. An action movie you can watch then just plain forget what it was even about.
