Clicked on the link before reading the rest of the post. Looked intriguing enough that I decided to watch the first installment before I watched this one. While watching thought "Mefi favorite Tony Zhou would love this." Came back and read the FPP.

Yup.

Ok. Watching the first one, I was impressed. Edge of Tomorrow/All You Need is Kill, in ~10 minutes, and with physical comedy.

Watching the second one... This is amazing.

love it, saw he first ages ago and this one was even better. lots of skill and practice. Was hoping for some Brazilian JJ in the mix but not this episode. Next time?

Amazing how much the main character's bed changed overnight.

Even more amazing, they apparently did it in 7 days of shooting. The final fight took one day with another day of reshoots.

I'll just assume that guy cooking eggs is Sticks and this is EL-P's long lost Steven Seagal fanfic come to life.

A+ and ***** and all that kudos....

Yeah, if you live in the East Bay it's fun to play "spot the location". (The restaurant looks a little different these days.)

Confusing at first but then really pretty fucking amazing. That's some of the best fight choreography I've ever seen.
