Kevin Smith played Ares, God of war. He sadly got killed during filming the martial arts film Warriors of Virtue 2 in China. He climbed on a prop tower on the set of the film and lost his footing, falling 3 stories, suffering severe head injuries. He was rushed to hospital, transferred to Beijing. He slipped into a coma and kept on life support for 10 days until life support was discontinued and died on 15 February 2002. He was 38 years old.
Oh shit. That's really unfortunate. I'm sad to hear it. That sounds like something that could have been prevented though. With safety wires, safety net and such. That is just too bad.
@@LKSFilms Yeah it is sad and preventable, by the way there is another Kevin Smith who is a movie maker which is maybe why you seemed a bit confused when you saw the name. From what I remember and is stated on wikipedia, he was just walking around the set during a break when he climbed the tower. The safety standards though in China aren't very good. A lot have been hurt or nearly hurt during filming as they do things like use live rounds in guns and such. That is how Brandon Lee, Bruce Lee's son, got killed because they used a dummy round and a fragment of the cartridge got stuck in the barrel and when the actor fired it again the bullet was propelled into Brandon's abdomen like a live round. So yeah you have to be careful when filming in China.
Xena WP was fun and moving at the same time, even if some aspects were a little bit weird. There was such a range of emotions and feelings in it! Lucy Lawless was so funny when she played Meg the tramp and Renée O Connor was frightening when she played Hope. I don't know if there are many shows swinging from aventure to drama to sci-fi to comedy to fantasy to mythology to farytale to horror flick to peplum to musical etc depending on the episode, while still maintaining cohesive and endearing characters.
This show was downright hilarious at times, I'm glad to see videos about it in 2020! About Xena and Gabrielle, because they're my fav couple of all time: they kissed several times, and once without ANY plot reason, just because they wanted to (Season 2, "The Quest"). They were never outright confirmed as a couple because the network outright forbid it. However, they were canon soulmates, their reincarnations got married after remembering their past lives and there was a literal "true love waking up sleeping beauty" kiss. There's just no heterosexual explanation for giving your homie a poem saying "There's a moment when I look at you, and no speech is left in me" on her birthday.
Hahahahaa, oh my god. All of that is actually the gayest thing I've ever heard. No heterosexual explanation indeed. I love that though. They got to make it gay as heck for all the gays out there as long as they didn't explicitly say they were a couple. That is fantastic.
The producers never wanted to confirm them as a couple. It's not just a question of network, it was a choice. They wanted to keep Ares around, and if Xena & Gabby had became a "canon" couple the Xena / Ares tension would have vanished. So they didn't and maintained a dose of confusion during seasons 5 and 6, although they were often asked to get more explicit. Rob Tapert explained it about years later. During the last seasons in the 2000's they were quite free to tell what they wanted. In a certain way they didn't want to lose a part of their "straight audience", some people wouldn't adhere and they knew it. It's less glamorous than talking about network censorship but it was a thoughtfull choice.
May I suggest that you do more xena reaction videos? There aren't many out there. The few channels I've found don't go very far past season 1 and xena is highly under appreciated and unknown by "young folks" lol
12:59 "I thought they were friends." Yes... but they had hardships to overcome and hurt each other in a lot of ways. This episode was featuring the infamous "Gab Drag".
Did you get a chance to rewatch Xena? I rewatched it and I'm glad I did because the story in it is something I did not catch, at all, as I was too young. And it's such a beautiful story, and most of all it's memorable, which I feel like so much media doesn't tend to be memorable these days. Also I'm still stunned all us kids watched this verrry mature show, lol.
When i watched this as a kid i dont even know what a lesbian or gender was. But i always thinked Xena was (is) a really cool bad-ass character. An inspiration in many ways.
The scene with Autolycus and Gabrielle was missing context. It would've been more understood by non fans like you if the scene immediately before it was included. Basically the reason behind the Xena smiling with Seinfeld music was because she took over Autolycus's body in that episode and she and Gabrielle kissed. When she let Autolycus take back over she didn't remove her hand from you know where.
I'd like to see prequel movie about evil teen xena also Lucy could do voice over just like they did with young Sheldon Young hercules or I'd like to see daughter of eve name after xena it would be great story passing on legend hero warrior princess?
From thing I have gathered and seen while watching it. The network tried like hell to through heterosexual relationship between gabrielle and xena. The writers and creators what them to be a couple. They are Canon in the comic books.
I love it too!!! It belongs to one of my housemates, but it's definitely my go-to mug from now on when I'm recording these. It can hold 2/3 of a wine bottle, so it's a good size for when you gotta get drunk 😆
Xena was a batshit crazy show but I was so in love with it as a kid lol

@@LKSFilms On a brighter note, I used to be a member of the Xena Fan Club when it was on and got some lovely pics and other stuff.
It was very sad. I'm glad I met him in 1999.

Not to mention that the poem was by Sappho 😉
@@Keykey74 I didn't think it could get more gay, but this certainly made it so. I love it.

"She came out of a cake?!?!" LOL This was pretty funny. Thanks for doing these! Yes, everyone is GAY!!!! LOL
The cake thing really threw me 😆 I'm having so much fun with these! Thank you for watching!!
i CANNOT believe my old xena crack video got on here :D

More xena please, you do awesome reactions 😍
Love this video.
This Kevin Smith was an actor from New Zealand who played Ares the god of War.
Oh! Okay. This makes so much more sense. Thank you for clearing this up for me!
Yeahhhh Xena. I miss it on Netflix and Hulu
Those were called Bacheye
I'd like to see prequel movie about evil teen xena also Lucy could do voice over just like they did with young Sheldon Young hercules or I'd like to see daughter of eve name after xena it would be great story passing on legend hero warrior princess?

Who needs a wine glass. Love your mug. 💚💚

i wish i could see you in the morning after .. starting to watch yourself and react to your own reaction.. those coment were funny. se ya. stay safe.
Haha, with this one there was quite a lot of facepalming 😅
Yes!!!!
That was funny as fuck! Your drunk English is better than the sober English of most of the people in my town...in England.
Hahahaha, thanks? 😆
@@LKSFilms Where I live, the people are so thick it's known as Treacle Town.
@@LG-cz6ls Wow. That's amazing.
@@LKSFilms Seriously, your English is great, eh.
Very campy but lovable. Gonna have to send you a wine glass🍷
Please do! Although, since the glass I'm currently using is so big, it can hold more wine, and that's nice 😌
LKS Films Oh there are really big wine glasses too😉
Joxer the Mighty (spelling?)
Yes!!! That's his name!! He was funny.
@@LKSFilms he was hilarious
oh that bed is from "have you seen her?" 🤍🖤
Haha, it is indeed! We used my old bedroom as Hennie's bedroom. Good eye! 😄
