Revenge is a common motivator for main characters in martial arts films, often triggered by the killing of a family member or mentor. The Chinese Boxer (1970) is considered the first true martial arts film, setting the template for future movies by focusing on hand-to-hand combat and featuring revenge as a central theme. Martial arts movies like Kill Bill (2003/200 and Revenger (2019) showcase epic showdowns and intense fight scenes as characters seek revenge for past wrongs.

Revenge movies are among the most popular entries in the martial arts genre. Martial arts films often involve many different themes, from personal growth and romance to comedy and crime, interweaving each in their stories, whether it's in an ancient or modern setting. However, one of the themes most closely linked to martial arts films is revenge, which is arguably the most common motivator for a main character in the genre.

Martial arts heroes often embark...

The Summer 2023 anime lineup overwhelmed the fans with new and ongoing stories supported by memorable characters. When it comes to anime characters, the female leads are always in the limelight as to who is charming enough to steal the spotlight.

Thankfully, the summer lineup featured several extraordinary ladies who won the viewers' hearts not just with their looks but also with their strong-headedness, good brains, pivotal roles in their respective stories, and appealing personalities. These female characters will be remembered far beyond the summer of 2023.

Female characters in rom-coms don't have the best reputation. They are mostly one-dimensional, offer little to no value to the plot, and are often reduced to uninspiring love interests. Summer 2023 has been unforgiving for harems, but fortunately, Masamune-kun's Revenge R has been able to redeem the genre somewhat. Aki is a classic tsundere with a terrible personality,...

The film made its Canadian debut as part of this year’s Fantasia International Film Festival.

“The Grand Heist” was a hugely successful historical comedy caper when it released back in 2012. Seven years after the film, its director Kim Joo-ho occupies the director’s chair once again for historical comedy “Jesters: The Game Changers”.

Funded by the government, Deok-ho and his men use more theatrical and sophisticated devices to create incredible events, such as a pine tree lifting its branches by itself, sweet rain falling from heaven, and rainbows forming wherever King Sejo goes.

The star cast comprises of Cho Jin-woong as Doek-ho, Son Hyun-joo as Myeong-hoe and Park Hee-soo as King Sejo, with Ko Chang-seok, Choi Won-young and Kim Seul-gi making up the rest of Doek-ho’s gang. Cho Jin-woong was last...

The trend of action films focused on female leads in South Korea continues, with director Lim Kyung-taek’s new film “No Mercy”. While “The Villainess”, for example, mashed up action with some good old-fashioned Korean melodrama and “The Witch: Part 1. The Subversion.” tells a bloody, brutal female “superhero” tale, “No Mercy” has a more straight forward “Taken” tale of abduction and revenge.

“No Mercy” is screening at Fantasia 2019

In-ae has just been released from prison and moves back in with her teenaged sister Eun-hye, who is not completely healthy, mentally. The apple of In-ae’s eye, the simple Eun-hye survived alone while In-ae spent time in prison on false charges.

From A Memory Called Empire to Star Wars IX, here are all of the space operas, on screen and on the page, we're looking forward to in 2019.

Here at Den of Geek, we love a good space opera: that delightful subgenre of science fiction that combines action, adventure, romance, and melodrama and sets it all in space.

Between now and the end of 2019, fans of space opera have a lot to look forward to. Whether or not you're excited about the December 20, 2019 release of Star Wars Episode IX, the year should be a good one for space opera—especially for novel readers, but with a few films and comics thrown in for good measure.

Here are the space operas (and some stories that are space opera-adjacent) we've already consumed or are most looking forward to consuming at Den of Geek...

Fire Fury Frontier by Amanda...

South Korean cinema isn’t generally known for martial arts-heavy, stylish action films. The action films that do well are mostly of the gangster genre with hyper-stylised violence, which should make first-time director Lee Seung-won’s martial arts extravaganza “Revenger” slightly unique. The film’s trailer promised us lots of action, excitingly choreographed fight scenes and a high body count, making for a welcome relief from the usual gun/knife action sequences. But is it?

Well, yes and no. But let’s take it from the top. Somewhere in the Indian Ocean is an island simply called A-101. Shared by 12 Asian countries, the island is used as a prison where the worst kind of criminals are exiled to and left to their own accord. Ex-Interpol officer Kim Yul is arrested, sentenced to life on A-101 and sent to the island. He has one objective in mind – find and kill the...
