Recall us having a quite lengthy thread about the up-coming Scott Adkins Cung Le actioner Savage Dog. Not sure who originally started that thread?, just wondering if whoever started it would like to saved it or could re-post it?.

Have you seen the movie GROUNDHOG DAY @One Armed Boxer? If not, don't bother... your now living it. (Cue Sonny & Cher's I Got You Babe on the radio)

Seriously though, thanks for re-posting this.

Hey DC, the only posts in a thread which can't be deleted are the initial ones that start the thread.  Delete that one, and it takes the whole thread with it.  No worries though, KFF will show off its scars with pride, so I think your post is just fine.

The action and productions values look great, really love the period setting too. If the film is as good as the trialer, they've done a very good job with this one.

Thanks for posting @kingofkungfu2002.

Once the trailer stopped with the done-to-death Adkins slo-mo aerial kicks, this looked pretty damn good!  Count me in.

Behind the scenes picture from the set of Savege Dog, Mark Zaror, Scott Adkins and Cung Le. Not sure who the guy on the far left is?.

Looking forward to this one, when it gets a U.K release.

This one is really mediocre. It's not great but it's not terrible.

it ends up being a traditional revenge flick with way more gunfights than martial arts. What martial arts there is is very much kickboxing and not all that interesting to watch, I'm afraid. Has a distinct Van Damme era feel to the action.

The action is hyper violent too. Blood spurting, heads exploding etc. It's pretty good to see. It's also good to see Marko Zaror speaking English. Very good English at that.

Sadly, he and Cung Le are a bit wasted. They have their moments but they're just not all that spectacular. Zaror versus Adkins isn't that bad though.

Overall, it's a fine film but not one I'd watch over and over. It's just a run of the mill actioner with a few above average moments here and there.

Still no U.K release date for this one?, hope we get a DVD/Blu-Ray release and not just a run on some VOD site.

Better off just importing the German release mate.

I'm tempted to, but want to support any US release that might happen. But I'm losing my patience. I watched it with a friend that bought the German Blu-ray, and I want it. Now.
