EL ANGEL GABRIEL Review: Hong Kong Action Fan Service Fuels The Dogma In Angel Vazquez’s Debut Indie Feature

I largely credit actor José Manuel for bringing a lot of my attention to the goings-on of martial arts action fandom in Puerto Rico, particularly since his heyday stardom with El Testigo (The Witness). It’s been fun keeping up with his stuff, and even more worthwhile catching onto new talent that’s come his way as a result, including but not limited to actor Angel Vazquez, who’s collaborated with Manuel on multiple occasions, in addition to developing his own projects to date.

I had a chance to screen the film early thanks to Vazquez who will also be sharing some more assets with me to present in the coming weeks, including as the film revs up its campaign ahead of its […]

I was a little more keen on taking this week off given the forthcoming holiday, but I was already on par for another installment of the Hit List so I figured “why not?”… Alas, we’ve arrived to another spiffy new around of demo reels and action gems to help warm you up.

Enjoy! This week is an especially ceremonial time for folks freshly off of this month’s Urban Action Showcase & Expo fallout. Angel Vasquez hails as yet another fledgling talent from Puerto Rico with plenty of time spent collaborating under fellow rising star Jose Manuel’s North Compass banner. Thus, Vasquez is poised to present […]
