As much as I praised this on the other thread, my only concern is that when I think of Streets of Rage, I think of '80s-mid'90s movies like Kurt Russel movies or The Warriors or Dragon Warriors movie. Y'know kung-fu, city-based yet colourful. What Kung Fury did (Did you know Kung Fury is getting a sequel?). I'm pretty sure Streets of Rage was inspired by the same sources as Kung Fury movies.
My concern Streets of Rage will be some modern generic action flick like the John Wick movies were. Derek Kolstad makes generic action movies about generic thugs with generic celebrity actors shooting at other generic bad guys while the camera goes back and forth all action like because it's the only way to make shootouts look cool.
Then car chase scenes with sponsored vehicles and explosions.
And John Wick movies had thick single-coloured filter which would be either blue, green or piss-yellow.
If we were to have a Streets of Rage movie, I'd want it like any of Jackie Chan movies that involve law-enforcement (Rush Hour, Police Story etc). They're modern police action movies with guns, car-chases and such but Jackie Chan makes sure to make interesting and colourful characters and city location and gratuitous ammounts of Kung-fu and daring stunts over guns.
I'd be dissapointed if Streets of Rage ends up a forgettable action movie like Kolstads movies without Keanu Reeves in them.
