Battle snake toy series#
Starring Henry Golding, Andrew Koji and Haruka Abe. Opens in theatres Friday, July 23.GREAT NEWS BotFans! Our new 6 part Summer series BATTLEBOTS: CHAMPIONS kicks off August 4th on Discovery and Discovery+.Įach week 8 bots face off in a “Sin City Slugfest” to win the right to face a Champion, in a violent Vegas showdown. The battle scenes are often darkly lit and confusing (though it is a change of pace to see so much swordplay as opposed to gunplay), and the attempt to fuse the Joes and Cobra into the plot in the last act is not exactly smooth. The whole thing must ignite into a final act of fights, car chases and general destruction (and Snake Eyes’ discovery of honour). There’s a little more room for characters to breathe. This is the reason I like the Origins approach, as X-Men Origins proved at another studio. And secretly, he is playing both the Yakuza and the Arashikage, whichever can best serve his revenge-quest. The entire time however, Snake Eyes is nursing a burning need for revenge against whoever killed his father. He is also cheered on by Tommy’s suspicious but smitten sister Akiko ( Haruka Abe).
Snake Eyes is trained by the best, including a blind African-American warrior named Blind Master ( Peter Mensah) and Hard Master ( Iko Uwais). It should be noted that the Scottish actor Ray Park previously played Snake Eyes. Snake Eyes’ act of mercy gains him a private jet flight to Tokyo and entry into the medieval-style fortress of the Arashikage clan (most of whom are suspicious of this stranger who has no past, no real name, and, though Asian, isn’t Japanese). The captive turns out to be Tommy Arashikage ( Andrew Koji), the heir apparent to leadership of a clan of protectors of Japan. When a spy is found in their midst, and Snake Eyes is ordered to kill him, he refuses, and instead releases the captive and joins him in fighting the rest of the Yakuza (there are a lot of 20-on-1 fights in this movie). A Yakuza boss hires him to hide guns in fish headed for Japan. Somehow, he’s become trained in martial arts, and supports himself on prize money from underground fight clubs.īut, hey, people like him. Years later, we meet him as a drifter, played by Henry Golding ( Crazy Rich Asians) and nicknamed Snake Eyes, after his dad’s fatal dice throw. An ambush by bad guys leaves dad dead (after a phony offer to keep him alive with the right roll of dice) and the son on the run. A young boy is living with his dad in the woods, in an apparent “safe house” that isn’t so safe.
