E7: Tong War. Cuz that’s what really happens in Chinatown. Ruthless tong wars. And Chinatown whorehouse madams protect virgins. WTH?
E8: The actual tong war, teased at the end of e7. Short, nasty brutish. Sets up Koji v Taslim. Koji’s pre-fight fight is in the dark, so shadowy I had to turn up my screen brightness to max and I still couldn’t see it. There was a choreographic nod to Fist of Fury’s ‘why why why’ scene. Taslim pre-fight fight had him shirtless in a decent single long take. Koji trains on a wooden dummy, not very well, so he screams a lot to make it more dramatic. Taslim spars, does iron plan and body, and looks good doing it. It’s all about Taslim. The rest of the fights are shyte. Will the virgin swordswoamn be the first female character who isn’t a whore?
E9: Koji v Taslim match. Bets anyone? Decent fight actually. Best one of the season so far. Because of Taslim. Koji is a high kicker but he doesn’t sell the impact. They should be working up to one better one in the season finale tho. James Lew as the flashback Sifu. Finally the James West derringer comes into play (I was hoping for the hairpin tho). And of course, Tai Chi heals ass whuppins. Or maybe opium. Finally Dustin Nguyen is played. And yet it’s another dark detail-obscuring fight scene.
E10: Koji delivers a decent warehouse fight with another nod to the Bill Wallace leg trap backflip kick. Didn’t know flying punches were part of Irish boxing. I want a martial arts flick called Warehouse Fight. Virgin’s dao form is weak.
