Member DiP Posted June 10, 2013 Member Share Posted June 10, 2013 The only movie to spring in my mind right now is Ringo Lam's Full Contact where Chow Yun Fat alternates to using his balisong, nicely action choreographed by Lau Kar-Wing, whenever his gun is not in effect. That's probably the best usage of the weapon I've seen onscreen so far. Anyone know more movies where people goes for the balisong during fight scenes in cool ways?

Member blue_skies Posted June 11, 2013 Member Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm not much help as I had to look it up. but as soon as I saw it I recognised it as a butterfly knife. Still I can't think of any movies off the top of my head. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member odioustrident Posted June 11, 2013 Member Share Posted June 11, 2013 I think there is an old thread on this or it's covered in a Weapons thread. I want to say they come up in different Filipino or Indonesian films but many times those are just traditional knives handled with a lot of flash. Drunken Monkey - Li Hai Tao, who fights Bruce Liang in Gallants, uses oversized balisongs in a fight against Wu Jing Sword of Heaven - US Tadashi Yamashita film where one villain in the end gauntlet is pretty handy with them Kamagong - Filipino film in Tagalog language with some dual balisong action I think Sharkey's Machine - Dan Inosanto is doing various Balisong tricks in this one as a henchman Bad History - Junya Takagi modern day biker / musical / martial arts film where another villain uses double balisongs QtSBOk7rGCg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator KUNG FU BOB Posted June 11, 2013 Administrator Share Posted June 11, 2013 SHOWDOWN IN LITTLE TOKYO- A henchman uses them. STREETS OF FIRE- A would-be tough guy uses them, the hero takes them from him slaps him, does them better, and gives them back to him. More slapping after that.

Member Jesse Smooth Posted June 11, 2013 Member Share Posted June 11, 2013 Well, there's the opening fight in TNT JACKSON where Jeanne Bell takes on thugs with balisongs in a bizarre basher-esque fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
