Speakman? Where is he now and have you seen his latest?

[Hollywood1340]

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.

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.

 

[Blindside]

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.

I'm suprised his personal site is not up yet. It seems www.jeffspeakman.com is "Under Contruction".

If it's been like that for ages someone might just be cyber-squatting it!

Short for Spetsnaz or Voiska Spetsialnogo Naznachenia which means "Soldier of Special Purpose".

Spetsnaz doing Kenpo...that would be classic.

 

[Goldendragon7]

I would think he would keep up the website (or have it done) !

Hopefully that means that his movies will be getting better!

Ahem.
I was trying to "organize" these comments under the thread I created at http://www.martialtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=2231&referrerid=391

Can you copy your reply over there, sir?

I know there is a search function on this site, but I am not good at using it. This is partly why I created the thread, so I'd know where to look/what to subscribe to.
