Lee B. Golden III

Assassin’s Fist Ltd. Martial artist and actor Alain Moussi will be making his feature debut later this year in Kickboxer: Vengeance from director John Stockwell. Before then, he will be making his online serial debut for the new digital miniseries, Street Fighter: Resurrection, which is premiering in March on go90 from Machinima. The series premieres in tow with the release of the forthcoming Street Fighter V which just launched its cinematic trailer this week ahead of releasing in February. That said, the show will serve as a prologue to the game, taking place ten years after the precedent-setting events in the 2014 hit webseries feature, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist which starred its director, Joey Ansah along with Mike Moh and Christian Howard, both who are back to reprise their roles once more. The images and details are few with more than a month before Street Fighter: Resurrection premieres, but with […]

Lee B. Golden III

The official Facebook homebase for filmmaker and actor Joey Ansah’s campaign for better Street Fighter movies and shows is bustling once more on Christmas day in lieu of the upcoming miniseries, Street Fighter: Resurrection. A new photo has surfaced with actor Mike Moh back in a much more withered and worn gi with a stronger pair of Ansatsuken gloves to reprise his role as Ryu from the 2014 show, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist. Aside from the white headband which left us off with a red one at the end of the series, you can tell this newest version has gone through quite a journey with a big difference between his earlier look and the newest. Accordingly, there’s a ten-year jump between both images as per the set up for the new series which also invites actor Christian Howard as fellow Ansatsuken inheritor, Ken, in addition to the premiere of Nash, […]

Get A Full Look At Alain Moussi As ‘Nash’ In STREET FIGHTER: RESURRECTION

Lee B. Golden III

If there was ever any doubt that fighting game characters could be properly translated onto a cinematic platform, multifaceted stuntman and director Joey Ansah disproved it all with last year’s Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist. Alas, he’s about to do so again with the current production of Machinima’s newest venture, Street Fighter: Resurrection, which will tie into the upcoming game release of Street Fighter V with a mix of returning and new characters, including the undead Charlie Nash. All that and more have thus been revealed with the debut of actor and martial artist Alain Moussi in costume for both the latest teaser and current photos now circulating online.

Joey Ansah Updates Fans On STREET FIGHTER: WORLD WARRIOR

Lee B. Golden III

In the wake of all the fervor with the latest teaser for the new webseries, Street Fighter: Resurrection, filmmaker Joey Ansah put to ease some of the concerns that have been drawn. The new series was announced over the weekend at Capcom Cup 2015 followed by Machinima’s subsequent release of the teaser online depicting actor and rising action star Alain Moussi in the role of the undead former soldier, Charlie Nash, inspired by Capcom’s hit game franchise. The new series comes well over a year after the hugely deserved approval of Ansah’s empassioned and epic take on the franchise last year with Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist. Actors Mike Moh and Christian Howard portrayed iconic characters Ryu and Ken as they journeyed into the origins of the very deadly martial art handed down to them by their sensei, Gouken, played by Koieyama Akira, and with the two ready to join the […]

Lee B. Golden III

Rising martial arts action star and actor Alain Moussi is ready to break ground next year with his debut starring role in John Stockwell’s Kickboxer: Vengeance next year. However, it appears he’ll be beating the streets as well with the forthcoming release of director Joey Ansah’s latest foray into Capcom territory with Street Fighter: Resurrection, a new webseries which premieres in March of next year courtesy of Machinima.

A Case For Better Action Movies: GREEN STREET HOOLIGANS: UNDERGROUND (2013)

Lee B. Golden III

To date, I haven’t seen either Lexi Alexander’s or Jesse V. Johnson’s previous installations of the Green Street franchise, and in that regard, it might service you to see those films before moving onto director James Nunn‘s 2014 offering, Green Street Hooligans: Underground. Granted, it’s only an option and not hugely necessary, and opinions might differ depending on how geared you are toward the first film, but this particular movie does plenty more for the kind of film it’s meant to be, apart from whatever expectations there may have been. In the film, the Green Street Elite firm is one in many football-emboldened cliques in a sub-culture of English society that has since been outlawed with its resolve now quartered to sectioned-off areas away from public eyes. Bets are placed, faces are smashed and bloodied, teeth are chipped, egos are bruised and many a drink are drunk – such was […]

Director James Nunn‘s latest ode to hooligan vengeance in Green Street Hooligans: Underground is finally hitting North American shores on DVD following a limited theatrical release earlier this year.

In addition, and thanks to Ansah, you can now also catch an awesome pre-vizualized behind-the-scenes look at Adkins and the rest of the cast as they get into hooligan character for the unmitigated chaos that ensues throughout the film. Watch the madness and linguistic filth unleash in […]

YEAR TWO: A Word From Yours Truly

Lee B. Golden III

Man, what a year! Hello all, Lee here! I just wanted to say how incredible and gnarly it is to have come as far as I have on this site what with all of you having either stuck around or just recently hopped aboard in the past two years and three months that Film Combat Syndicate has existed. I initially didn’t think I would build an audience this high but the virility has certainly been good and does manage to lift my spirits from time to time. I am thankful for each and every one of you who partake in, and maybe even enjoy what I scribble on about here on a regular basis. Other obligations do get in the way and sometimes I lag, but I always try to make up for it as I always do, by being as substantive and as original as possible while engaging in […]

Lee B. Golden III

Waiting on a table at The Counter Burger on 10/12 around 10-ish; Back row (L to R): Jon Truei, Akira Koieyama, Kimmy Suzuki, Joey Ansah/ Front row (L to R): Me and Gaku Space This past Sunday night was probably one of the longest, finest nights I have ever had in a long, long time. Having not been able to attend this year’s New York Comic-Con, I was almost certain this was going to be another missed opportunity to meet some of the very people I write about, and fortunately, that all changed with a simple invite. Anyone who has read my blog at some point this year may have caught onto my rather vulgar and approving review of Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist, the brainchild of co-stars, Christian Howard and director Joey Ansah which began its inception in 2010 with Street Fighter Legacy. The webseries was easily one of the […]

The phenomenon has captured the hearts of any growing number of thousands of fans this year and in the years since the journey began to reclaim the rightful cinematic vision for Capcom’s highly popular video game franchise, and it’s finally heading to television, DVD, Blu-Ray and VoD platforms soon.

Epic Japanese Poster For STREET FIGHTER: ASSASSIN'S FIST Is Epic

Lee B. Golden III

Opinions may vary, of course. But as much I love Japanese action movie posters, this artwork is too cool to not share on here. Not to mention the continued attention is so well deserved in turn with the hopes that a sequel will come as soon as possible. Check it out below: As a pencil artist myself, I love Japanese posters for films, and as much of a milestone it is to see a Japanese property like Street Fighter get such legendary screen treatment by an awesome martial artist, actor and director like Joey Ansah is quite cathartic. The poster comes in light of the series’ upcoming one day premiere at The Human Trust Cinema in Shibuya on August 2, with Ultra Street Fighter IV game producer Koichi Sugiyama and assistant producer Tomoyo Asano also in attendance.

STREET FIGHTER: ASSASSIN'S FIST Lands At FUNimatiom For U.S. & Canada Home Release

Lee B. Golden III

If you noticed any glitches while surfing the internet for cat videos on YouTube about a week and a half ago, that may have likely been martial artist, actor, writer and director Joey Ansah initiating his plans for world domination with his new hit online webseries, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist, which has earned up to well around 10 million views in total since its debut on the Machinima YouTube.

STREET FIGHTER: ASSASSIN'S FIST – A Case For Better Action Movies

Lee B. Golden III

I remember when 1993 or ’94 came when Jean-Claude Van Damme was entering the peak of his career with Capcom’s first live-action theatrical interpretation of the Street Fighter universe that saw military character Guile as the lead. To some, including myself, it was good for its time despite not even coming close to owning up to the source material, and mainly because it was a kids’ film, geared toward young teens who liked Van Damme movies and appealed to watching actors in Street Fighter costumes imitating characters from the game. Ultimately, Joey Ansah wasn’t one of those kids. And for good reason. Years passed and in 2009, we were eventually offered to see a female-led feature version of the classic fighting game franchise that would have led one to believe that a proper live-action rendition of the game would have done justice to the fans, especially those since 1994, despite […]
