Given that Hundred Eyes immediately attacked Sidao when he entered the room, I'm surprised Fang Zhen was so keen to attack him. Enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that.
@@PoohShimmy also, hundred eyes wasn't able to kill sidao in his first attempt, and it is shown here that sidao got the better of hundred eyes here. In my opinion, byamba, jingim, and khutulun would've been easy work for sidao, much like marco was.
This scene just give me the chills. The talent is off the charts. Absolutely incredible skill levels by both actors. When the the councilor dropped down in his stance. I screamed NORTHERN MANTIS KUNG FU!! This show is great.
I always liked how at 0:35 you could tell by Sidao's expression and concentration that he took the Red Lotus Chief a lot more seriously than the Whirlwind Tiger in episode 3. Sidao was no pushover by any means of the imagination.
Lol at the end of the day Sidao was still a practitioner of kung fu, which is a pretty useless martial. So Sidao kinda WAS a pushover, unless you're pitting him against other people who practice kung fu, or someone with zero martial arts training of any kind.
Chin Han's most amazing role. He is an excellent fighter and even better speaker!!! I wouldn't say he was an evil and I love his quotes. Praying mantis 4ever.
Extraordinary scene from Marco Polo. Jin Sidao , I believe is to be interpreted as the "villain" but in truth, he is , as he stated in a previous interview, actually a patriot - he was the last bastion of keeping the Song Dynasty and its wonderful accomplishments from nothing more than barbarian forces. He is a brilliant character and in interviews that I have watched, a gentleman through and through. Now, Hundred Eyes .... Wow! A Shaolin master of all.
+Edward LeNeuf My favorite scene with Sidao was in the last episode where the little boy gives him a hug, and you could see how touched Sidao was, even though he had earlier had plans to somehow dispose him. I never looked at him as a bad guy, he was no worst than anyone else.
+blockmasterscott Yes, that was the scene where the Chancellor is mentoring the young and soon to become next Emperor if I recall, correct? Definitely that scene I think had Sidao scrambling through emotions and that is an really great example excellent of the complex nature of emotions and how , as I was getting at, that Sidao is no more or no less of a complex character as any in the series. Absolutely, that was for me, a pretty imposing and a sad part of the story for Sidao. Oh, by the way, did you see the 30 minute Nexflix narrative (it's almost a teaser to bridge over to season 2) providing us with a glimpse into Hundred Eye's background?
+blockmasterscott Yes, Marco Polo is scheduled for Season 2 this summer and here is the link in case you would like to check it out: release-date.info/tv-series/marco-polo-season-2-release-date-8364773644/.
Sidao was one of my favorite characters. Sure he was underhanded in his ways and a bit of a creep, but like you said he was a true patriot and his dying words showed how deep his resolve for the song dynasty was. Although he played the villain, Its hard not to respect the man for his skills and dedication.
hundred eyes is one of the biggest badasses i ever saw in tv. This guy would beat the shit out of jaws, kicking jasons and freddies ass in the same time.
Red Lotus Chief clearly underestimated his opponent skill. Red Lotus Chief, was very passive and even cocky against him. Jia Sidao, had the chance to carefully study his opponent and decide his attack prior to the signature of the document right before ceremony coronation. Red Lotus Chief, wouldn't never taken a chance to stay on 1v1 situation on the same room with Jia Sidao, Red Lotus Chief should've kept 12 of his best fighters next to him at all times just in case.

Yesterday I finished season 2. The fight between Hundred Eyes and Jia Sidao was one you looked forward to see :)
Yes, just leave ur would be candidate for the throne alone with the man you wanted to oust who also happened to make a spectacle of killing your best soldier
Jia is supposed to sign over his position as advisor to the little Emperor, that’s why they are at the table. The Red Lotus chief is supposed to strong arm Jia into signing the paper, but he ain’t having it, hence the fight. The monk just happened to be there on coincidence. He’s sent by the Mongol Emperor to assassinate Jia It was just a twist of coincidence and fate that the assassination and paper signing just happened to be at the same time.
I still have a doubt: Why did hundred eyes fail to kill Jiao Sidao at this moment? Did he knew that he will loose against the cricket style? May be that's the reason he was unable to kill him, so then he went back and trained in cricket style to come back and kill him.
Aman Dev never tought about that and its could be a nice concept, and its not cricket style but mantis style, but i am not sure if you know and just changed the name for fun....
the problem with this show is that it has to much dead scenes and to long episodes. if they where to increase the fight scenes and decrease the time lenght of an episode snd less dead scenes it would be muchbetter
no the problem was it took a lot of money to make and wasn't bringing in money. Even great shows are cancelled because they are a money drain. Shows like Game of Thrones, etc make money from cable subscriptions, but Netflix doesn't draw in the money like HBO does. So HBO can afford to stretch out good shows, Netflix can't. On Netflix, you have to be good AND have a lower budget to survive.
"I'm Mantis."
"I'm Tiger!"
"I'm here."
Pelerin4129 I'm mantis
I'm tiger
I'm blind!
Lmao 😂
Hundred eyes is the dragon
Is that a Jackie Chan reference? Lolol
this show has great fight scenes
Fang Zhen (The Chief of Red Lotus Sect) deserves props for standing against both Jia Sidao and Hundred Eyes for as long as he did.
Fun Fact : Fang Zhen is portrayed by Collin Chou, who played Seraph in The Matrix Trilogy.
Wow, that's Collin Chou, the one that fought Donnie Yen at the end of Flashpoint?
Of course he is !
C Pegg yeah, of the three the guy took the most blows but always stood up. He was slightly less agile but physically the stronger than the other two
@@elnombredelarosa3167 yes, he is a master just like they are, so he isn't going to go down easy
Given that Hundred Eyes immediately attacked Sidao when he entered the room, I'm surprised Fang Zhen was so keen to attack him. Enemy of my enemy is my friend and all that.
Hundred Eyes didn't now who was who.
herby good point!
@@AscentofTrollbane pretty sure the outfit gives it away
@@trips347 I thought he was actually blind?
@@Fahad-xe2zv oh right hahah, forgot
I like that even though Jia was a ruthless and heartless bastard, he wasn’t a coward and was and extremely talented fighter.
Yeah Sidao would've broken every bone in Kublai's body if they had fought 1 on 1.
@@BingBoy17 Big facts
@@PoohShimmy also, hundred eyes wasn't able to kill sidao in his first attempt, and it is shown here that sidao got the better of hundred eyes here. In my opinion, byamba, jingim, and khutulun would've been easy work for sidao, much like marco was.
@@BingBoy17 Idk bout Khutulun, she was a thug.
@@PoohShimmy on second thought, he might have had some difficulty with her, but he wouldn't have lost
This scene just give me the chills. The talent is off the charts. Absolutely incredible skill levels by both actors.
When the the councilor dropped down in his stance. I screamed
NORTHERN MANTIS KUNG FU!! This show is great.
Yep. They really prepared well.
This is what iron fist should have been like.
hundred eyes is really more like stick though.
watch the tv series - into the badlands

@@AnExtraordinaryGentleman you obviously didn’t pay attention to hundred eyes’ speech about what King Fu actually is
@@AnExtraordinaryGentleman Kung fu is like martial arts. There’s no style called “Kung fu” that’s like saying martial arts doesn’t work
You should have added the next 20 seconds when sidao walks into the throne room with blood on his face like a gangster
I forgot about that scene already. But good suggestion.
@byronomboy lol I just love that scene, he let's the whole court know that he's not going anywhere
I love the look of "WTF" on everyone's face when he walked in there like a day in the park! 🤣🤣🤣
Chin Han's most amazing role. He is an excellent fighter and even better speaker!!! I wouldn't say he was an evil and I love his quotes. Praying mantis 4ever.
Did anyone notice that Jia Sidao saved that vase from destruction? What a character 😎
Dang, I never did notice! He really did!
Can we just address that hundred eyes is the most amazing martial arts character of all time. And this show had the best choreography!!!!

I love how 3 styles of kung fu come into conflict. Mantis vs Baguazhang vs Wudang
How u know?
That moment when Hundred Eyes picks up a fucking staff....
hundred eyes is one of the biggest badasses i ever saw in tv. This guy would beat the shit out of jaws, kicking jasons and freddies ass in the same time.
0:26 love the stance
Me too, I replayed it a lot.
I wonder what style they’re using is it jiu jitsu
@@kodesh1674 l o l
Hundred Eyes, gate crashing the party...
A quiet, calm, polite transfer of power between two politicians and gentlemen.
With the spiritual guidance of a monk.
Red Lotus? *ZAHEER!*

I love how Jia Sidao seems like he is pretty much invincible for a lot of the show, but when he is faced with Hundred Eyes you see him really struggle
1:57 Not a shred of fear in his eyes, Jia Sidao is one badass villain.
We need more shows and movies like this. This shit was legendary to watch years ago.
Someone who speak chinese can tell me what the guard says at 2:13 ?
Fang Zhen should have been on the show longer. I get that he had to die, but even one more episode would have been great.
And this is why poisoners and poisons were the preferred method of assassinations in those days.
I like everyone vs everyone that's a cool fight.
Red Lotus Chief clearly underestimated his opponent skill. Red Lotus Chief, was very passive and even cocky against him. Jia Sidao, had the chance to carefully study his opponent and decide his attack prior to the signature of the document right before ceremony coronation.

0:57 guard trying to swap a fly?
Still my favorite fight in the series.
Yes, just leave ur would be candidate for the throne alone with the man you wanted to oust who also happened to make a spectacle of killing your best soldier
I wanted this Jia outfit.
You want a man dress? It is rather ornate. Probably costs like 1000.
0:56 excuse us sir, you cant...ugh.
I forgot all about this series.it’s very slept on. Sadly, I can’t remember the story and this scene has no context for me.
Jia is supposed to sign over his position as advisor to the little Emperor, that’s why they are at the table. The Red Lotus chief is supposed to strong arm Jia into signing the paper, but he ain’t having it, hence the fight.
The monk just happened to be there on coincidence. He’s sent by the Mongol Emperor to assassinate Jia

Dragon vs mantis vs tiger.
Why 100 eyes stop fighting with Jia Sidao ??
what instrument /technique is being played at 00.24 ?
Red Lotus chief actor has real kung fu.. i mean real real kung fu.
I still have a doubt:
Why did hundred eyes fail to kill Jiao Sidao at this moment?
Did he knew that he will loose against the cricket style?
May be that's the reason he was unable to kill him, so then he went back and trained in cricket style to come back and kill him.
Aman Dev never tought about that and its could be a nice concept, and its not cricket style but mantis style, but i am not sure if you know and just changed the name for fun....
Aman Dev Yes. He recognized it and retreated to learn it even better than jia sidao. Also learning to reverse it's effect which sidao could not do.
The tiger
The mantis
The dragon
are we getting season 3
nope
release of season 2: july 2016
the problem with this show is that it has to much dead scenes and to long episodes. if they where to increase the fight scenes and decrease the time lenght of an episode snd less dead scenes it would be muchbetter
That's why there's no Season 3 anymore. A shame.
no the problem was it took a lot of money to make and wasn't bringing in money. Even great shows are cancelled because they are a money drain.
