Martial arts movie is a genre of cinema Hollywood has largely abandoned, but in Indonesia, that style of movie is thriving. With movies like The Raid, stars have emerged and the genre has asserted itself. The latest offering in this vein is Netflix’s ‘The Night Comes For Us’, which features many of the same stars and choreographers who made The Raid as well as other martial arts movies. This is a can’t-miss opportunity to watch unapologetic gore, action, martial arts fighting and more.
The Luke Thomas Show airs weekdays, 3 to 6pm ET, on SiriusXM RUSH, channel 93.

Well then, I know what I’m doing tonight.
Ong Bak is better than The Raid.
I downloaded it and both raid movies while listening to this
The Raid 2 is still the one to top.
Metacritic is much better than Rotten Tomatoes…just saying
Just saw it. Does not hold a candle to The Raid imo. Story, tension, choreography. Just a ballet of violence.
Biggest issue, one against many and they all wait their turn to get wrecked. A lot of waiting and not using an oppurtunety, when the alternmative is to die.
There is a LOT of GORE 🙂
can’t agree more
Luke do you think pencak silat artist can compete in mma and become star? Btw pencak silat is the name of the martial art of indonesia which is portrayed in both the raid film, headshot, and this movie.
Dude that’s not mm a fight scenes,it’s fiction kung fu
If you aren’t getting your fix from real actual martial arts being displayed, then perhaps UFC, Bellator, PFL, etc need to put out more events for you, Mr. Thomas.
Holy crap, that butcher fight scene is fucken nuts.
and that martial arts which iko uwais practicing is called “pencak silat”
I”m a huge fan of this actor from “The Raid”. I watched it last Sunday and i love it.
now people can see how good indonesia movies are. yesss indonesia we can do it.
Did anyone notice?! Joe taslim is one of the villain in the fast furious movie before,!!
Y’all ain’t know about the Raid movies?!
I just finished watching it, it’s a really good movie but if your looking for something similar or even better I highly recommend this action packed badass tv show called Banshee, it has everything you want on a movie no restrictions fight scenes, sex, & beautiful woman. I can assure you, you won’t be disappointed.
Can you listen to the entire show somewhere? Does it have it’s own seperate podcast?
Interestingly while mma is not exactly hot, and Ariel helwani is still around, Luke’s channel is rising up.
That’s why Khabib is a Mixed Martial Artist and McGregor just a prize fighter…
Damn, I need to see this now!!!
Donnie Yen has made some good HK films, some with MMA. The best ones are:
SPL: Kill Zone (2005)
Flash Point (2007)
Dragon (2011)
I’d say all 3 of these are as good as The Raid 2 but not as god as The Raid: Redemption.
They’re not next-level like those Indo ones though.
John Wick is terrible, I laughed all the way through.
Sold
+1 on the Raid. Didn’t know there was a sequel!!!
Have you checked out Baki on Netflix? Great anime for a release via martial arts and creative violence.
”Headshot” was pretty good too, gotta watch that!
Ip man & ong bak are great if you’re interested.
2016 Swordmaster is a great film. Also, Kung Fu Killer with Donni Yen is freaken awesome.
The best ever Martial arts actor was Loren Avedon! No retreat No surrender 3 blood brothers is truly an impressive masterpiece!
Hey Luke,i recommend “Kung Pow- Enter The Fist”
luke you should check out “headshot” most of the cast from “the night comes for us” is in it including iko uwais 🙂
i liked both antman 1 n 2 so bring it dwn
Silat Martial Art
The last two kickboxer movies were really good , they had a lot of mma fighters and Mike Tyson in the cast !
This was a great film.
raid and raid 2 is beyond martial arts it was a gr8 movie ..transcends martial arts .
Anddddddd I’m hyped to watch this now!!!
The Raid 2 is tied with Mission Impossible: Fallout for best action film ever.
Bad guys cant walk through doors/attack one at a time
Good guys were superhuman
Bad guys were too easy to kill
Regular car windows were bulletproof
Fight choreography was good tho
downloading…
this movie fucking rocked
Donnie yen is the biggest star over there right now n Hollywood only put him in one movie since ip man XXX n he’s bout to do true crime streets of LA after the hit video game he does martial arts movies justice
karate kid 1 and 2 were epic when i was a kid. I am 38 though and grew up in the 80s and 90s
I didnt like the raid 1. Didnt see the 2nd. 🙁
Luke reply to this comment please!
only The Operator (Julie Estelle), the unbeattable character in this movie, badass girl!! I think she is an Interpol agent.
Chocolate/Zen with Yiya Yajin (might be mispelled) is one hell of a thai martial arts movie.
I was hurting all over once the movie was finished, and i had the stupidest grin of my face everytime I remember key moments in every fight scene in that movie. The way the choreographers approach violence and gore is similar to the way Sam Raimi approached it in Evil Dead 1 and 2.
Despite the grim and totally serious tone of TNCFU, more than _half_ of the kills and bodily harm inflicted on the characters border on the slapstick horror comedy. Gareth Evans, director of The Raid, enjoyed TNCFU and likened it to 1992’s Dead Alive…and it’s actually _appropriate_
Night come for us is orgy of the violences stabbing, slicing and bone breaking dudes
