Double Impact, I think...

Is that the one where JCVD plays his own twin?

Classic.

Yep, pretty sure that's right

[Smith]

Yeah – one of his better efforts!

Weirdly (and rather off-topic), my favourite JCVD movie is the one in which he does least in the way of martial arts – Legionnaire. While there's a little boxing at the start, most of it is a traditional 'march or die' style Legion movie. Not a great film by any stretch of the imagination – certainly no Quigley Down Under, but rather enjoyable as a throwback to an older type of adventure movie.

That doesn't surprise me Phil.

My favourite Stephen Seagal movie is Executive decision, that's the one where he plays a special forces operator (who doesn't 'also' cook) who gets sucked out of an aeroplane to his doom in the first ten minutes.  

[Smith]

Something of an unfair comparison, Ray – Executive Decision stars Kurt Russell and, as we all know, Kurt Russell doesn't make bad movies... even when they include Seagal! 

[Ray Earle]

That is true, off the top of my head I can't think of a bad Kurt Russell film...

At least Seagal always attempts to appeal to as wide a cross section of the population as a whole; a martial art trained Native American, ex-special forces pacifist, single father, who also cooks, and uses as many varied forms of transport as possible.

Just a shame it's usually all in the same film.

You swine! I spilled my tea out laughing at that ..

I am glad we are in agreement that the best Seagal movies are the ones where he spends the least time on screen.

If modeling "Big Trouble" it's interesting to note that San Francisco's Chinatown was purposefully rebuilt with faux pagoda style roofs after the 1906
 earthquake as a tourist attraction.   Otherwise they're like typical brick buildings of the period.

A  landscaped Chinese garden might be a good way to get a lot of terrain in a small space.  They are kind of similar to the well known Japanese garden, except more, well, Chinese.   They tend to favor brighter colors and  zigzag motifs.

You can find some of the pieces, pavilions, stone bridges etc as aquarium ornaments.

Interesting idea Carpathian! Clicking trough wikipedia I also learned of the idea of scholar's rocks, which might be an interesting modeling project as wel as an interesting terain piece to have a group of standing around. I have had results with plastic glue on insulaton foam that might help create these shapes, gasses this produces rot your brain tough I'm sure.

A few new pictures up, showing the rest of the yakuza, a few more martial artists and the demons painted...

Having played most of the other SoBaH engines I am beginning to wonder if and how different weapons will factor into this game as well, or fighting styles as a whole. It wasn't until later expansions of SobaH that you could make a archer that shot better then he fought or a fighter that attacked better then he defended. Mind the system was quick and fun from the get go but those are options that feel kind of basic.

[NurgleHH]

I am not a huge fan of the SoBaH-Engine. It is easy and limited in the abilities. I think I will use the 7TV-Engine (Action-Engine) for it. It is perfect for Fistful of Kung Fu...

Question about the rules:
Will it be possible to create a hero who's capable to beat up several enemies?
Say, Kung Fu Master vs. Police-Squad?
