If you know me, you know I’m a fan of “covert” fight scenes. Scenes where two people are fighting but they’re both pretending that something else is going on. This one from Dreadnaught (1981) is one of the best.
By the way, the guy that choreographed this scene, later went on to choreograph The Matrix films, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kill Bill.

Idea for a movie trilogy:
Similar to the “Cornetto Trilogy”, an anthology trilogy in which the main connecting feature is the cast and a joke that is split up between all three movies. What I mean is that:
1) the first movie starts a long joke, but the character gets cut off before they can finish it.
2) the second movie has a scene where a character is in the middle of telling a joke. Keen viewers will realize that the joke is picking up where the first movie left off. The character is cut off again.
3) the third movie does the same thing as the previous movie, but the character finally finishes the joke.
We can call this the “Finish The Punchline!” Trilogy.
A hypothetical outline of this trilogy could be:
1) “The Fist of San Diego”: Martial arts comedy film. A young girl (Jenna Ortega) who grew up in a hidden island of warriors is told by the island elder to find the reincarnation of the society’s founder before their enemies do. She ends up in San Diego, California, where she confuses a celebrity martial artist (Pedro Pascal) as the reincarnated founder. Shenanigans ensue as the real reincarnated founder (Steven Yeun) is actually an ordinary Starbucks barista who the young girl just missed.
2) “The Cursed Blade of Muramasa”: Period/historical action adventure movie. In the 1960s, an infamous grave robber (Steven Yeun) discovers a map that leads to the Cursed Blade of Muramasa. Since he can’t decipher the map’s puzzles, he hires an expert (Pedro Pascal), who brings along his daughter (Jenna Ortega). Shenanigans ensue as the father and daughter, who have never been in a dangerous adventure, have to tag along with the grave robber. Along the way, the trio deals with the Yakuza, who are also looking for the blade.
3) “Blood Heist”: A fusion of a heist film and a horror comedy. In a society where supernatural beings and humans coexist with each other, a vampire (Jenna Ortega) stages a heist on a blood bank that is said to have the highest quality of blood in the city. She recruits several vampires to help her. Among them is a hacker (Steven Yeun) who claims he is a vampire, but is actually a werewolf. Along the way, the robbers are being watched by the lead human detective (Pedro Pascal), who has a soft spot for the vampires.

Chinese vampires are known as Jiangshi and they’ve been a massive part of martial arts cinema for decades now. Here’s a fight scene from one of the rarer Jiangshi films, Son of the Vampire (1986)
There are some amazing bumps and wire-assisted stunts in this one.
