🤣😂🤣

MJBOLT:

if it doesn't tank at the box office,I will need the juju Marvel and Disney are using.

Baddestguyp:
Samuel L. Jackson will save it imo

I won't be surprised if it does well...it looks like a casual/comedy movie

If it delivers on the comedy, people will watch

And besides Marvel fanboys watch anything MCU

Parizz:
but you watch mortal kombat, jock

Gang of assassins??I thought it was gang of thieves

1.Assassins undergo training before they are recruited
2. Assasins know different form of martial arts due to training and are experts in killing.
3. They also usually operate in the shadows.

1. Gangs don't undergo training to be recruited
2. Gangs do not know any form of martial arts,at best they are street fighters and that's it.
3. Gangs don't operate in the shadows, most of them are very loud about their lifestyle.


Gangs are usually fighting over Drugs, money,women.
Assasins will kill a person if there's a contract.

Having gang elements does not make a movie a gang movie. By that definition, every movie that has ever featured a gang in any capacity is a gang movie.

James Bond dealt with terrorists, drug Lords, corrupt politicians plotting to overthrow governments not some gun toting gang motherfúckers (screaming westside) like in Boyz in da hood, Bad boys. Those are niggers shit.

NaijaMemes:
This John Wick argument don tire me.

How far?

1. Kung-fu is only one style of fighting or martial arts. Saying that John Wick is a kung fu film is reductive. The first John Wick movie was more of gun action. Kung fu (be it tai chi, wing chun, preying mantis etc) is actually one of the worst fighting styles for an assassin. Most agents or Assassins used mixed martial arts aimed at killing quickly.


2. Gangs are actually prominent in all John Wick movies. From Russian gangs to Beggar gangs. Saying that John Wick is a gang movie is technically true.

Every gang has its own method of operation. Some train their prospects before recruiting while some don’t.

Because many schools requires post utme for admission doesn’t mean other schools require require post utme. Besides, most of things you listed are some of the things many gangs do all over the world.

since we want to broaden the definition of a gang,then movies like Wrong Turn,Hills have Eyes,The Descent etc are gang movies
I can list more gang movies if you want.

toluxe0075:
I feel the issue is many people only limit their knowledge of gangs to street gangs showing their gangsterism (especially black Americans) and perhaps the mafias. Whereas, gangs come in many forms. It may be prison gangs, narcotic gangs, yakuzas, agberos, punk gangs, assassins gangs, robbery gangs, graffiti gang among others.

toluxe0075:
Also, the use of the term “gang movie” for only movies involving two or more gangs going against each other, or the depiction of the conventional black gangsterism seem to limit the scope of what is a gang movie. Whereas, a Batman going against gangs terrorising Gotham is also a gang movie. Just as a John Wick fighting the gangs of the high table (which include the mafias, Yakuzas, triads, the Cosa Nostra) is also a gang movie.

toluxe0075:
I still maintain that the John wick movies are gang movies. The high table consists of mafias and other gangs who are trying to kill John Wick.

toluxe0075:
Yes, they are. What you are saying then is that an action comedy where a crime was committed isn’t a crime movie because it’s an action movie. But does being an action comedy movie stop it from being a crime movie too? Movie Studios might tag it as just action comedy, but that doesn’t stop it from being a crime movie.

For instance, 21 jump street movie was tagged only as the action comedy genre on rotten tomatoes. Whereas, it has elements of crime. The same way gangs of New York was tagged as history, drama on rotten tomatoes; and history, drama, crime on metacritic. Whereas, the storyline involves gangs.

I'm still waiting for someone to say GOT is a gang series since we have gang of faceless men, gang of wildlings and gang of night's watch. I'm just seeing strange things here WTF!!

abduleez1:
Lol, some people analysis here funny die....

The Batman would be a gang movie then since once you have "elements" of gangsterism in a film, you're TECHNICALLY a gang movie. 😃 Mission Impossible and James Bond are gangster movies too. Same as The Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises.

How anachronistic!

1. You are using an industrial age (18th century) terminology to describe something from a medieval age (5th to 15th century).

2. The faceless men cannot exactly be described as a gang. They were a religious society or group of assassins. This is what we would call a "guild" or "brotherhood".

Avatar- Way of Water

Very entertaining. It was a bit of a stretch in some areas, but quite entertaining nonetheless.

As for Wildlings, they are a tribe.
As for the nightswatch, they are a brotherhood.


Hope you enjoyed your lesson, and you are holding your L well
