Naturally, I’m telling everyone else who’s gushing over it to watch the Accident Man dualogy if they want more.

I know there’s a whole dichotomy there where lots of people feel that the Deadpool series is too sophomoric and “wink wink nudge nudge,” while Accident Man is more dry British humor combined with vulgarity. (Hard to argue for “sophistication” for Hitman’s Holiday with the laxative scene though. Haha.)

I certainly think there’s room for both though. A weekend with friends watching all 5 movies would be a fun overload!

Tim Man certainly is keeping himself busy and is finally lending his services to Bollywood with Ganapath staring Tiger Shroff. Tiger is a very talented martial artist and screen fighter, but what he’s been lacking in his films is a great fight choreographer, and Tim Man can certainly make magic happen with him.

Hopefully, it’s as successful a partnership as it was for Tim Man and Scott Adkins.

I should be glad that it got a physical at all, but it’s a sad reminder of one of the consequences for illegally downloading or streaming movies.

The humour is a lot better in this sequel. Good, sharp jokes. And it really looked like everyone involved had fun making this film. That and they really improved the choreography.

Ah, that’s unfortunate. I thought the humor in Accident Man felt like it was in tune with Deadpool. I’ve even told people who like those movies to watch the Accident Man films since they’d be right up their alley.

I guess it also has to do with how the humor is presented and whatnot. Accident Man’s humor is slightly more “dry,” and less “frat boy” style. Although with the sequel I really could have done without the feces.

Glad you enjoyed it as much as I did Andrew! Interesting reference to ‘Deadpool’, as I’m in the minority (at least it feels that way!) who just couldn’t get into the big screen adaptions. Too much lowest denominator frat boy style humor and forced quirkiness/coolness, topped off with the constant self-aware references to “we’re a superhero movie making fun of superhero movies!” Give me ‘Accident Man’ and its sequel any day of the week!

It’s amazing to see what was accomplished in just 22 days when a movie of this scale would normally take months. It’s a testament to the talent involved. This is probably Andy Long’s best work as not only was there a lot of action, but there was a great variety of it with graceful martial arts, brawling, props work, and weapons work.

I was afraid of the son being annoying, and he was. But he spent his whole screen time getting what he deserved, so it made it all worth while.

Seeing the issues between Scott Adkins and Ray Stevenson carry over here and play out was a nice bonus. Time certainly didn’t heal old wounds and they actually had to do something about their grievances, and Scott made a good point that it is child abuse to raise a kid to be an assassin. Lol.

While waiting for Deadpool 3 to come out, Accudent Man 2 definitely fills a void.

I was worried that the budget and limited film schedule would be an issue, especially in a post Covid world. I guess if Boyka 4 can withstand it (minus the Covid) so can Accident Man 2!

Andy Long-Nguyen’s choreography for the Bollywood flicks Commando 3 and Sanak with Vidyut Jammwal was great stuff, so I’m looking forward to what he can do with Scott after Max Cloud only gave us a teaser!
