Scene of the Week: Fanny Pack Fight
Whenever I hear people complain about the lack of original movies, and specifically action movies, I always tell them they are wrong. While superhero movies might get the most media hype, there are a ton of movies and action movies with unique stories. I specifically tell them to look at the quality work A24 has put out in all different genres, from horror to comedy to action. And specifically in the action category is the best multiverse action movie of 2022, no matter what Marvel tries to tell you, with Everything Everywhere All at Once. The story is very unique and can no way be explained fully in this paragraph, but it is a multiverse movie with some of the best action paired with a surprisingly deep and touching story. The action certainly isn’t hurt by the film starring Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quon.
This week’s Scene of the Week sees Ke Huy Quon’s Waymond Wang take on security guards with nothing but his fanny pack (or bumbag if you prefer). It is great to see Short Round/Data/Ke Huy Quon emerge from behind the camera after a long time doing stunts and he knocks it out of the park in this scene as well as the entire movie, along with knocking out the security guards.
