The hit indie martial arts fantasy webseries gets a feature-length sequel later this year.
Indie production label Whirlwind Action has been a bookmark for me long before I started writing this platform twelve years ago. I’ve proudly covered their work ever since with in-house director and performer Micah Brock then cranking out the finale to his hit weberies series, Slug Street Scrappers, in 2013, before releasing in the summer a year later. Brock had plans over the years for other projects as well, but only recently took to his latest endeavor, Slug Street Scrappers: Regen, initially billed as a new series continuing the original. That was in 2022, and Brock has since evolved his earlier vision into feature film fruition with post-production underway, as well as a new Indiegogo campaign to keep the movie afloat. The first several installments of Slug Street Scrappers headlined a bevy of then-burgeoning indie action and stunt talent under the stewardship of Brock and series cohort Shaun Charney. Such […]
A new prelim teaser trailer is now online for Slug Street Scrappers: Regen, the long-awaited second season of the inaugural Slug Street Scrappers web-video series from actor, martial artist and filmmaker Micah Brock. Co-star and creative partner Shaun Charney is reteaming with Brock to bring the second season to life with a current cast that bares a mix of both new and familiar faces in the roster. A collaborative effort between Brock’s Whirlwind Action and Charney’s Dragon Phoenix Entertainment labels, the first season of Slug Street Scrappers is currently available in four parts, and takes its inspiration from hit 2003 action adventure Ong Bak, as well as anime and both 1v1 and side-scrolling fighting game fanfare the 80s and 90s. It chronicles the interwoven drama between a cadre of badass fighters, all competing in a street tournament to claim the coveted title of “toughest in town”. Brock plays Bruiser Bom-Bash, […]
My weekend saw a MAJOR curveball regarding my android phone, folks. So, if you’ve been following me on Instagram and haven’t heard anything, now you know why. Needless to say, I have somewhat returned to normalcy and, preferably, in kickass fashion with The Hit List.

Peep it! Next up are four new trailers; Leading off are two channel trailers by way of two of France’s finest, Cedric Tellier and […]
Well, it was a weekend of work, anime and sleep. Thankfully the second now comes with good word of a few notable titles now available at Crunchyroll that I can finally finish where Netflix left off since they often store incomplete shows… …Anyway, enough of that. It’s time to get to a trio of meaty, mighty playlists for this week’s installment of THE HIT LIST that I know you will have plenty to fill up with. And on that note, we can always count on actor, martial artist, stuntman and filmmaker Eric Jacobus to lead the way for videos specially attributed to the Tekken game franchise. With another already in tow, Armor King is now staking his claim via Eric’s YouTube channel first up in the playlist below, followed by a slew of stunt and demo reels by Luci Romberg, Jake Teel, Sakaeda Ayami, Justin Hall, Daisy Fryer, Fernando Campos, […]
It’s been several years in the making, and now, fans of the hit shortfilm miniseries, Slug Street Scrappers can watch the spectacular final chapter in Slug Street Scrappers 4: Goodbye Goddess, directed and performed by lead actor Micah Brock. If you’ve been keeping up with the series, you know all the characters and intertwining sub-plots there are that now bring you to the epic conclusion that sees principle character, Bruiser Bom Bash, the “toughest scrapper in town” himself, face his greatest opponent yet – The Revered One, played by Rocky Chavez. Personally, I enjoy how deep the series has gotten into some of the performances. You still have your quirky moments, but the tone gets much darker as a few of the key action sequences become less playful and comical, and more hard-hitting and brutal as the stakes get higher with each story arc without losing its family-friendly target audience. […]
Lest you forget, the fourth and final installment of the popular online shortfilm series, Slug Street Scrappers 4: Goodbye Goddess is well on its way to completion and poised for a July 18 release. The new film only reunites a handful of characters this time around since the series began its evolution around 2009/2010, but the most recent trailer which aired late last year already assures what looks to be a promising send-off for a highly epic, spectacular and action packed indie webseries featuring some of the most talented performers today. At any rate, with Slug Street Scrappers 4: Goodbye Goddess just around the corner, the official page has been unveiling only a few stills to whet your appetites, and you can check them out below. SYNOPSIS: The final battle has begun. During a short calm amongst the chaos, the few remaining Scrappers on Slug Street decide to pull together in […]
Micah Brock, independent filmmaker and action director best known for his recent efforts with his successful online miniseries, Slug Street Scrappers, unveiled his latest short video via Youtube showcasing a cinematic clash of hard-hitting styles in Taekwondo VS. Muay Thai. The new video, of which there are two versions you can view below, pits Brock opposite fellow martial artist Shane Fazen, both whom have accumlated their respective audiences as online martial arts instructors over the last several years through their individual channels as Kwonkicker and Fight Tips. For online fight fans, the video is but a precursor to a much larger, ambitious movement Brock and Fazen have been developing in recent months with Brock jumping on board as one of a select handful of contributing instructors for Fazen‘s new channel, My Fight Gym, for which he hosted a near half-hour interactive Q&A on Monday. The channel is accomodating willing participants […]
The first trailer is online for the upcoming release of Slug Street Scrappers 4: Goodbye Goddess, the finale to a highly successful online action series that hybridizes classic beat ’em up fighting video games of the early 90’s, with a touch of Ong Bak-style choreography. Full of comedy, drama, interwoven character-driven sub-plots and some of the most exceptional action sequences ever to hit the screen, the new short film concludes a four-film saga that began around 2010 with independent filmmaker, actor and action director Micah Brock leading the story of a fighter with a reputation who can’t be beaten, in an urban tournament administered by hidden forces with a bigger, nefarious agenda. At first, the fourth and final shortfilm was crowdfunded as Slug Street Scrappers 3.5, a lead-in to a fouth, larger film, almost immediately after a huge outcry from fans due to the spectacular cliffhanger ending seen in the […]
Filmmaker Micah Brock is letting fans in on what he has planned for the next few months with a new fundraiser for his next installment of Slug Street Scrappers. Say what? New episode? Yep! It was a decision he made after initially choosing to cap things off with the release of Slug Street Scrappers 3: Beat ‘Em Up, the episode with the explosive ending that left everyone who has seen it wondering if and when, hoping there would still be another episode to look forward to. And obviously, I am very glad he has changed his mind. But, he still needs your help to do it! Click HERE to learn more about Brock’s new kickstarter for Slug Street Scrappers 3.5: Goodbye Goddess, which, if successful, will feature Brock returning to play the reigning Slug Street champion himself, Bruiser Bom Bash, along with Tess Kielhamer and Katelyn Brooke reprising their respective […]
