Film Fight Fridays is our weekly series showing our appreciation of the best fights captured onscreen, whether on TV or in films. Whether it’s gunfights, sword fights, knife fights, or good old-fashioned fistfights, we will showcase them all here every Friday.
This week we tackle the fight between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe: Retaliation. While the general consensus for the film is mixed the one thing the filmmakers did get right was the conflict between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow and the underlying tension they had going back to their childhood. Both Ray Park and Lee Byung-Hun delivered great performances and the fight looked like it came straight out of the cartoon thanks to its smooth fight choreography. Please don’t take our word for it, though, and check out the fight yourself.
G.I. Joe: Retaliation is not the last time you’ll see these two iconic warriors face-off as Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow will be part of the upcoming Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins solo film with Henry Golding playing Snake Eyes and Andrew Koji from Warrior playing Storm Shadow.
