Slug Street Scrappers: Regen

Micah and his team have crafted a fantastic reboot and sequel to the sleeper hit, Slug Street Scrappers.

Introducing a stunning array of new characters who expertly tie in with the legends of the original series, Micah weaves an engaging narrative steeped in old-school martial arts. The action and characters are larger than life, like the best of straight-to-VHS action classics, and each one is given a chance to showcase their skills. The choreography is expertly captured in a manner reminiscent of Isaac Florentine or, dare I say, Sammo Hung.

Knowledge of the previous film series is not required, but returning fans will love how the returning characters are used.

Slug Street Scrappers Regen is a beautiful continuation of the original series-one that honors its roots while kicking things up a notch. The retro vibe is off the charts, nailing that 80s and 90s video game energy from the moment the competition starts. Every fight had me right on the edge of my seat, and the high-frequency action sequences seriously inspired me to dust off my old training routine!

The comedy is a knockout too, perfectly timed, with more than a few genuine knee-slappers (seriously, how did they make frozen pizza funny?!). The world building is slick and refreshing, drawing you into a tournament that's both nostalgic and brand new. Not once did I feel bored-every minute is packed with fresh faces, fan favorites, and surprises that kept me hooked. I'm genuinely excited to see where the future of Slug Street Scrappers goes next!

I was worried that it wouldn't be as good as it was back in the day (because most revivals are kind of toilet water nowadays), but I'm really glad to see that my fears were unfounded! Not only does SSS Regen maintain the spirit of the original films whether you watched them as films or the tv series version, but the production quality has gone through the roof. It's hard to believe they made something this quality this with no budget. Their experience is showing for sure. They gave us a pretty good balance of returning OGs and new characters. The only thing I was disappointed about was that it was over before I even knew it. It's not even a short movie, it's like 2 hours. It was just really good and everything kept me invested the whole time so 2 hours flew by. Can't wait for the next one!

Epic, fun, and inspired. Love the costumes, they achieved their inspired by fighting games aesthetic. The choreography is awesome and the fights look great! The actors actually know how to fight and it shows, there are some real punches and kicks thrown here, especially when its about missing frozen pizza for some reason xD.

I love a passion project and that passion and love for the craft shows here. Lots of hard work went into this :) Super happy for everyone that worked on it and I'm glad I was able support in some small way.

Overall great, if you love people beating each other up and a good time check this out!

This is the sequel I was hoping for.

The original movie was absolutely epic, with its 80/90s fighting games vibe mixed with those years martial arts movies too. A jewel of a product, quite hard to beat in my opinion.

Regen takes the first one from where it was and bring everything to the next level. The actors are fantastic, the fighting is top notch and the storyline is very good and entertaining.

Also, last but not least, the humour is always on point, clever, well timed and never disappointing.

A must watch for every martial arts movies fan and also for every old school video gamer out there. I hope there will be more!
