THE HIT LIST – March 14, 2016

I think I may have contributed more on my blog than I may have wanted to, although it was probably instinctive. Maybe. Alas, I found myself working on the Hit List at the very last minute of Sunday and so I managed to get a few things together, including a few oldie-goodies I think are worthy of your viewing… On that one and as always, we’re starting things off with a slew of stunt reels and I’m buckling down to twelve this week for a playlist that features stuntwoman Somnang Chay, followed by a return to form from German action actor and Kampfansage co-star Volkram Zschieche. The playlist rounds out with stunt reels from Jesse Phillips, Keith Ward, Jae Greene, Jillian Lee, Joshua Romeo, Denys Alieksieiev, Donovan Louie, Suzuki Kimmy, Micah Karns and an encore entry from Kai Ferris! Now, it’s onto the fights and there are just a few […]

DINNER WITH A RAGING DEMON: A Night Out With The Cast Of STREET FIGHTER: ASSASSIN'S FIST!

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 […]

Kimmy Suzuki Stands Alone In The New Shortfilm, ICHIBAN

Lee B. Golden III

It’s funny that when chatting with actor and stuntman Kenny Wong a little over a week ago that he didn’t mention at least one of his other new indie ventures to me. It probably slipped his mind or maybe he was worn to secrecy. Not sure, but either way, it was pretty delightful to be caught by surprise with his latest appearance in the new shortfilm from directors Kwaz Fraser and Jacquees Thomas titled Ichiban, with lead actress Kimmy Suzuki portraying a downtrodden sweatshop worker who rebels against her abusive boss, played by Wong. Both are stunt performers by profession, with Suzuki initially getting her feet wet in voice-over acting at the age of 12 while living in Japan, until moving on to do stage work and commercials, a maneuver that ultimately aided her entry into NYU. Before she knew it and despite leaning more heavily into ballet, a chance meeting with actor Danny […]
