Germany's "Magnificent Fighters" Feature Challenges Between Masters And Students In RED DRAGON

My initiation into German kung fu movies began mostly with the team behind the release of action star Mathis Landwehr‘s break out hit, Kampfansage: Der Letzte Schüler. Since then, in continuing to keep up with independent filmmaking and as many teams as there are throughout the world, it is without question that martial arts cinema is a genre that continues to thrive in various parts of Europe, especially with Martial Arts stunt team, Magnificent Fighters.

The team has been around for a number of years now and has just unveiled its latest third installment to its kung fu action comedy mini-project, Red Dragon, which began in 2009 with a story about a martial arts school that is consistently met with challenges by students from other schools, with each episode ending with several lessons pertaining to respect, discipline, and all things generally aligned with the true spirit of martial arts. The series features all members of the Mag Fighters team, which include instructor Tayland Boyaci who runs the school. Also starring are Andy Long Nguyen and Gunnar Heiss who also choreograph the fights for the series. Kostas Korovilas, Zheng Tai, Viet Nam Huynh, David Tvardik and Michael Aderholz round out the cast.

Episode three also has appearances by Massimilano Vitale, and Taskin Memeyagi, echoing martial arts legend, Grandmaster Kim Won Jin, showcasing his best scorpion technique, which is not something you see everyday in independent film. So I was highly impressed, and I think that would make the former Operation Scorpio actor very, very proud.
