He picked up some wushu for the <i>Don</i> remake and the fight scenes from <i>Asoka</i> weren't bad at all, considering that it's a movie about the guy who inspired Gandhi's non-violence philosophy.<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86ApwObomBAMatthew Beyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312136548086025690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329139329489259389.post-54366751228834478232010-11-02T15:02:35.384-05:002010-11-02T15:02:35.384-05:00Fair enough, Jess.

Sarkar wasn't an action film and Sholay was more of a shoot-'em-up than a punch-'em-out. <br /><br />To be honest, I had a hard time getting past the musical numbers in Sholay. The shoot outs were pretty gripping though. <br /><br />It's interesting stuff & I've only dipped my toe in the vast ocean of Bollywood.Dave Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210387108701067975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329139329489259389.post-63075477749025688642010-11-02T14:44:48.621-05:002010-11-02T14:44:48.621-05:00Dave--I like Indian action and suspense films just...Dave--I like Indian action and suspense films just fine. It's their *martial arts* films, and their fight choreography in general, that are lacking in comparison to Chinese and Japanese and Thai and, sadly, even American products.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08394246431772994958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329139329489259389.post-3272712999645453902010-11-02T13:12:20.177-05:002010-11-02T13:12:20.177-05:00Bollywood has turned out some decent action/suspen...Bollywood has turned out some decent action/suspense stuff, though I admit your mileage may vary. Check out Sholay or Sarkar. <br /><br />OK, I'm an Amitabh fan.

Only the BBC is consistently worse. <br /><br />But I bet that Salman Khan has the physique to play the Great Gama.
