But the reason I feel compelled to watch Rush Hour 2 is Roselyn Sanchez.Roselyn Sanchez turns us men into ticking time bombs.

After watching him come back from an early pounding to choke out Shane Carwin with an arm-triangle, I'm ready to officially call Brock Lesnar the White Shaq of MMA. Lesnar showed such an improved ground game against Carwin that it was hard to see where his wrestling ended and jiu-jitsu started. The way he smothered Carwin came as no surprise, but his ability to calmly work him...

Shaolin and Wu Tang trailerThank God no swords were involved in the Israel Vazquez-Rafael Marquez rivalry.If the sharp thrusts of the Wu-Tang sword style and the bloody slashes of the Shaolin broadsword were used in the punishing series of boxing showdowns called Vazquez-Marquez, there would've been no trilogy.If blades were used instead of fists, someone would've been killed...

I wasn't surprised when I saw Lyoto Machida get cracked over his left temple and dropped instantly, bear-hugging Mauricio "Shogun" Rua's waist, holding on for his dear life. Machida would get no mercy from the Shogun, who pounded The Dragon until his lights turned out 3:28 into the very first round of their rematch.Machida had been clipped hard just a minute and 18 seconds ago....

When I watched Machida-Shogun (UFC 104), I was scared for Lyoto Machida, my favorite MMA fighter. I had never seen him get hit so much. He was getting tagged with body kicks, leg kicks and punches and elbows to the head. I all but expected to see him lose in a unanimous decision when the final bell sounded.However, after reviewing footage from the fight (see for yourself), I don...

I still have no idea what happened to Shane Mosley on Saturday night.You could say that he was schooled by Floyd Mayweather, Jr., smacked upside the head by a brand of pugilism from another realm.You could even say that it was Mayweather's special technique of shadowboxin', so fast and so sneaky that Mosley didn't know what hit him.You could say that it was his age, that at age 38...

After Jose Aldo entered the cage to the Jay-Z/Rihanna/Kanye West banger "Run This Town", he proceeded to give Urijah Faber a thorough five-round beating - in Faber's hometown of Sacramento. As Joe Rogan said in the telecast, "Make no mistake about it. He's (Jose Aldo is) coming out to 'Run This Town' on purpose."via Rihanna : The Biggest Rihanna Fan Site AroundI knew I had to go...

Take the collar off Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s neck, hand him a dangerous opponent like Shane Mosley and watch him unleash the beast in himself, a la Danny the Dog.from Unleashed (aka Danny the Dog)Although some boxing fans may understandably find Money Mayweather's defensive, counterpunching style boring to watch, the bottomline is that the man can fight.Mayweather can fight outside...

From the moment the bell rang, things were tense. Aldo and Faber sized each other up, looking for the opportunity to pounce. Each fighter respected the other's power and skill.Still, there was no doubt who had the advantage. The 24-year old Jose Aldo, taller, longer and even looking more muscular than Faber, looked sure of himself.Before the fight started, Aldo had kept to himself...

"Tres Leches (Triboro Trilogy)" is a medley of lyrical martial expertise. Over an ominous-sounding RZA track, Prodigy, Inspectah Deck and Big Pun take turns blasting, slicing and crushing the mic, resulting in a joint that is the equivalent of a kung fu masterpiece.Last weekend's Shields-Henderson (Strikeforce : Nashville) and Pavlik-Martinez, and the upcoming Aldo-Faber (WEC 48...

Watching Renzo Gracie get kicked continually in the left leg by Matt Hughes in UFC 112 was like watching the opening of the kung fu horror film Encounter of the Spooky Kind, where Sammo Hung's character "Courageous" Cheung has a premonition about his becoming a victim of a voodoo murder conspiracy.In his nightmare, Cheung, who prides himself as the most courageous in town, gets ambushed...

If you're like me, you're probably counting down until The Expendables opens. The Expendables is an action movie about a group of mercenaries whose job is to overthrow a South American dictator. The plot sounds pretty generic, but I'm really excited about seeing the All-Star cast of action stars and Latin beauty Giselle Itie in well, action. photos courtesy of their respective...

Before we start, I'd like to warn you that this piece contains spoilers from the kung fu classic The Prodigal Son. If you haven't seen the movie already, please proceed with caution.When I look at some fights or sports events, the talent gap between the two competing parties is so vast that the only way I see the underdog winning is if the favorite is injured, out of shape or unmotivated...

I love The Five Deadly Venoms.I love its spooky opening, with venomous kung fu masters in wrestling masks. It may not be as action-heavy as kung fu movie fans may want it to be; still, I love how another previously unnoticed element from its clever, suspenseful story catches my eye upon each successive viewing. What The Five Venoms lacks in quanity of action, it makes up for in...

Dan Hardy gave Georges St. Pierre less of a fight than I expected, but for the toughness and courage he displayed in not succumbing to submission attempts and lasting five rounds, he has my utmost respect.In fact, I have so much respect for The Outlaw's fighting spirit that I wish he would've had a chance to learn the aspects of Shaolin kung fu that are more directly applicable in...

When Manny Pacquiao schooled Joshua Clottey on Saturday night, the relentless assault was akin to a hailstorm of arrows launched by Qin Shi Huang's deadliest archers in the period epic Hero.Faced against so many arrows fired in quick and neverending succession, Clottey could do nothing but peek through the slit in between his guard, lest his eyes get pierced by the hissing projectiles...

From the moment I saw the advertisement for Bandidas on the side of a bus, I've wanted to see the movie, for no other reason than to enjoy watching Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek as gun-toting bandits.Since that moment, my fondness for the kung fu, gangster and noir genres has pushed far Bandidas down my viewing priority list, but my fetish for Penelope and Salma in cowgirl dress...

What I came away with after watching Naked Weapon was an appreciation for hot chicks like Maggie Q doing high kicks, shooting guns and softcore sex scenes. photos via Maggie-Q.net(More Maggie Q hotness after the jump)I haven't seen the movie in almost four years, but when I heard a few weeks ago that Maggie Q might play the lead role in a new Nikita TV series, I may take another...
