Netflix is making an American version, Michael Bay is producing.

bay will prolly f6ck it up though
Originally posted by RobtardYeah, he is spectacular in the first raid film. Gareth Evans is a quality Director too. I would like to see more realistic ground fighting techniques, but the splat and ghe muay thai are lovely. He opens his hand to deliver elbows, that's how all but soear elbows should be used because it exposes more sharp bone and that means, "it will cut".

It's not muay thai. It's silat
Originally posted by jaden_2.0Some of it is splat, a lot of it is Muay Thai. Splat in my previous post was meant to read Silat but I didn't proof read. The Silat trapping and some rolling fists etc are solid silat. Whilst knees and elbows are used in silat, things like the plum aren't really and the plum is used loads in this film. Silat knife stuff is used to be honest it's Silat film fu! And soer should read spear.

The funniest silat technique I've ever seen is a walking stick knife defence...
