#shootfighter 1

thanks for the ask (I sent you one too, btw, I hope you did get it bc tumblr is a mess...)

anyway...

i actually had to watch the last one third of the movie just now

i'd been putting it off because it's just one shittily choreographed fight after the other. sigh, what one doesn't do to see billy shirtless tho, am i right?

so now my opinion

looks wise he is off the charts, my fav billy is old billy but 93!billy was such a good vintage. technically speaking he really peaked then (and so did ralph and tig, what a year!)

perfect hair, great tits, long legs, eyes looking particularly sad and blue... some great wardrobe choices, i really like early 90s men's fashion (ofc the 80s were the best but EARLY 90s had their charm too).

also the guy gives me all sorts of gender envy

now personality... he is an interesting character trapped in a very bad movie. there is so much potential here! squandered by too big a focus on shitty fights that take up so much screen time :/ (i mean we have talked about this...)

i love how sweet he is with kids, that's lovely! i could just watch ruben running that cute little school and be perfectly entertained for an hour and a half.

but then plot twist, the boy has an unexpected dark side to him!

his rapid downward spiral is wild and very enjoyable to watch (billy genuinely tried here even tho the movie is baaad! especially his eyes convey a lot!)

interestingly, at first one might think that money to save the school will be the main incentive, but ruben is also drawn to the violence itself. both fascinated with and scared of it. it's like nothing this sweet boy has ever seen before! it compels him! but he is also not able to fully commit in his fight with hawk. i do wonder how the fight with nick would have played out, but the movie does basically chicken out and not show us that (which of course resolving the conflict between shingo and martin kove's character is important, but we got robbed of a resolution with nick and ruben!)

ruben's dark side is really a thing that would have been worth exploring more!

i haven't seen shootighter 2 yet tho

sadly he gets a mid 90s haircut T___T and that's all i know

also christian sex scene...
