View Full Version : Speakman? Where is he now and have you seen his latest?

Anyone know what he is up to now? Also has anyone seen his latest movie "Hot Boyz?" He plays Master Keaton and gets third billing with a bunch of rap stars. Or how about "Esape to Atlantis" "Land of the Free" or "Memorial Day". I'm currently looking for copies.

I have seen Hot boyz, did not like it.
I have seen Escape, it was entertaining in a mindless sort of way.
I have seen Memorial Day, it was, well, bad.
Not sure if I have seen Land of the Free
My video store has copies, I'll check on Land of the Free next week
Does he do kenpo in all of these movies?

You (and I) just missed him at his camp.
I am hoping to discuss it in my thread here
http://www.martialtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=2231&referrerid=391
I hope we can get Mr. C to report on this as he was there this weekend.
I think there is recognizeable Kenpo everywhere but Escape from Atlantis which I liked. It is a good "family"movie.
I also just re-watched Street Knight recently and it was pretty good.
I have seen them all except Land of the Free with Shatner. I confess I am disappointed in most of them.
But Running Red was also pretty good and I love the way he worked Taming Mace into the movie.

Don't remember for sure, but is Running Red where he plays an defected Spetz?
Got to see part of it before having to hit the hay the other night. Looked to be a good movie. Sorry I had to cut out on it...

I don't know what a "Spetz" is, but I guess it is a Russian, Commie, Soviet, KGB agent or something.
Yes, he plays a former Soviet I think.
The Internet Movie Database is really cool. If you have some questions, here is a link for Mr. Speakman.
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Speakman,+Jeff
They have Mr. Parker in there too.
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Parker,+Ed+(II)
This one lists him as Ed Parker II (because of another Ed Parker in the db who was a stuntman born in 1900).
There is on other separate listing with him as Edmund K. Parker, Sr. on the Perfect Weapon as Kenpo Technical Advisor.
http://us.imdb.com/Name?Parker+Sr.,+Edmund+K.
:asian:
does have one fairly decent Kenpo scene, but that's about it. For the rest of the movie, I was too busy deciding exactly how I would handle those kids without going to jail.

I actually caught Escape from Atlantis, OMG, what a terrible movie. I spent the whole time thinking "its got to get better." I didn't think it was a family movie, it was more like a "why NOT to have a family." Bad dialogue, bad action, bad special effects, bad plot..... bleah.
Since then I haven't even tried to watch a Speakman movie.

Short for Spetsnaz or Voiska Spetsialnogo Naznachenia which means "Soldier of Special Purpose".
Spetsnaz doing Kenpo...that would be classic. ;)

Kiddies,
Just saw Land of the Free. Not a bad flick. Much AKK. Note to anywone out there filming AKK DON"T DO HARD CUTS!!! Kenpo is "An unending flow of motion" As such, focus over the whole teqnique. You lose to much when you cut, because as the're blocking it leads to a strike, so on and so forth!!! Repeats are good, but should be used less, but NO HARD CUTS!!!
Ahem. Sorry about that.
In LOTF I also noted him wearing on of his "Kenpo Gear" shirts. Anyone know about KG?
Sigung86
07-01-2002, 05:01 PM
Just saw Running Red the other day... He was wearing a Kenpo Gear T-Shirt in that one as well. It wasn't a bad movie, perhaps a bit far-fetched ... but the Kenpo looked a little sloppy compared to Perfect Weapon.
I hope everyone realizes that it simply an observation and not a criticism.

Kiddies,
Just finished watching Scorpio One. It was....painful. There was kenpo but not enough of it. The plot what terrible, the writing was done by underfed, underpaid, overworked and single chimps How this made it to video I have no clue. Don't get me wrong, i'm currently in the process of buying our local video store out of all it's JS tapes At a great price too, LOTF hasn't rented in three years!.
Note to Mr. Speakman:
Sir, with all due respect, your an awesome martial artist and I idolize you to no end, but you are not an actor. They say a fish swims and a bird flys becaue that's what they do. Granted penguins swim and flying fish "fly" but I say leave the flying to the birds and swimming to the fish. Let's see what you are good at, opening up a can of whupaz on a TKD school, then adding a bad pun. Keep up the good work!
