Most movies we see in January are a drag. With people resuming
after the holidays they are more interested in watching something slow paced,
romantic, involving a handsome couple. In other words, nothing as captivating
and fast paced like what “Fight Scene” provides.
While many Nigerian movie directors are at home shooting
romantic and cultural movies that see actors killing villains with poison or a
potion prepared by a spiritual oracle, this korex Calibur’s teaser is a kick-ass,
vivid, action and stunt-packed thriller video. It features Abuja’s finest
stuntmen, played by Baba Ali-Yusuf and Uzo Chiemelu.
The 6:20seconds teaser begins with Ali-Yusuf clad in leather
jacket, sitting on the floor of a factory using a crane as a backrest. He is
bopping his head to the music pouring out of his ear phones which were plugged
into the phone clutched in his hands. He seems to be waiting for someone or
something.
Chiemelu walks in wearing a simple T-shirt and denim pant.
Ali-Yusuf accosts him about being late, blames it on traffic. Yusuf asks if he
(Chiemelu) is ready and then they both draw out their guns and then the fireworks
begin. They shoot at each other, jump over crates, scoot, duck, fire. Soon,
they were out of bullets and so begin a coordinated fisticuff. Packed with order,
precision, expertise, it was like watching a scene from the Chinese film, the Ninja Assassins.
Ali-Yusuf’s phone rings right in the middle of the fight, and
much to Chiemelu’s dismay, he answers it. Alas, it is his mother. He has a
brisk conversation. Soon after Chiemelu’s cellular rings and he too answers the
call put through by his woman. Turns out it wasn’t after all a fight between
two warring parties but a friendly training session between friends. The fight
breaks off soon after and they reschedule
for a later date.
Fight Scene
is a hoot and a half. And the sound effect and camera positioning? Pretty
impressive. It’s a beaut to watch and the Crew show potential of producing the
juiciest Nigerian action movie ever. You won’t regret viewing it…
