Snipes isn’t a large guy but not a lot of A list action stars can sell a hit like Snipes. Part of what makes Blade 1 and 2 so good is how Wesley sales those scenes. Doesn’t only look like he’s really hitting them but it looks like it hurts
I haven't seen it, Was Jaa the "good guy"? If so, it makes sense and plays into what MJW was saying. It looks good for the "good guy" of the movie to fight someone bigger than him. So MJW would rather do the same, just like he mentioned with Bob Sapp in Blood & Bone.

This is definitely a thing in Hollywood. The Rock and Vin Diesel had a contractual dispute in one of the F&F movies about the number of punches landed on each other's character. They settled that they must land an EQUAL AMOUNT of hits on each other. It sounds ridiculous but it's to protect the character and the actor's reputation for future movies (and thus future contracts and money).

@@spinningbackkick6021 MJW is cool as hell, but he be over thinking it in some topics. Like bruh, its a movie. Hollywood make non athletic actors and actress look great all the time. I'm sure they can make a fight scene between Wesley Snipes and MJW legendary. 🤦🏽♂️
@Ron Buil There is a difference between ego and confidence, he has confidence because he can back it up. If you understood the difference you would know why he said its stupid to get into it during a MOVIE fight scene, its called being a professional. Someone with a big ego WOULD get into said real fights on a movie set.
MJW always has a way passively explaining why he's better than someone lol. He doesnt think Wesley is on his level is what he's really trying to say, or else he wouldn't have picked Donnie Yen as his favorite to perform a scene with in the other segment.
I like Michael Jai White but he does have a way of showing a little arrogance he needs to go and getting a UFC and let's see I know he got friends and he spies but no getting a real fight get in the Ufc
While I have no issue with the way Michael Jai White explained that, honestly, a good fighter is a good fighter, doesnt matter how tall they are. Having a fight scene with, Tom Cruise, Wesley Snipes, Iko Uwais, any of those guys, would be an honor for me. When humans look at those guys, they're not thinking, "You know what, they're too small". Come on now. Nah. TERRANCE OUT
Actually that's exactly what most of us are thinking. Point is, it takes away from the bigger guy. He can't showcase his full skillset in the proper way as if he were fighting someone or equal size or larger.
I really like the MJW handles his interviews. He really lays it down exactly the way it is. Most of the time the interviewer talks about this outlandish shit that's rumors or whatever. MJW is always like "No that does not happen." He doesn't throw more wood on the fire, instead he douses it with water to bring it back to reality. It's refreshing to see, especially when you have guys out there like Seagull or Van Damme that plays along when for example, asked about "who would win in a fight between so & so actor or so & so actor??"
Well Snipes has trained in Hapkido, Shotokan, Brazilian Jujitsu, Capoeria, and Kickboxing, so I think it would certainly be a fair fight and not as easy as MJW thinks it would be lol
I acknowledge MJW, his skill, wisdom and overall intellectual know how. That said I guarantee he has fought (on camera) many dudes that were "smaller" than himself and didn't seem to bother him. I don't think he's intimidated by anyone least of all WS...however Wesley has paved the way for MANY thru his legendary (yeah I said it) legendary style, charisma and badass bravado that can't be replicated nor duplicated no matter who you try to measure up (despite his frame being smaller) that don't mean shit. WS commanded respect on camera and will always be in the hearts of the countless loyal fans that he has amassed because of who he was and how he was portrayed. Thank you Wesley Snipes.
Okay for those who think Michael is scared of Wesley, y’all are not getting the point…He said he would prefer to do a fight scene with someone bigger and taller than him like “The Rock” and he further explained why. I don’t think he’s scared if u ask me..🤷🏿♂️
Exactly. These Weak men, are not used to guy that is as Confident in his abilities as MJW is. Whether he can Fight or not, we will never know. He's said himself that he is not a (Professional) fight, but he can (Fight). He's more of a Self-Defense guy, not Sports based Fighting. These Dudes need to get out of their feelings
That’s assuming he’s the star of the Movie - you can be the bigger guy and get your ass licked by the smaller guy ( both in real life and film) this is why he isn’t a Director and only has a hand full of decent movies - The protagonist can be any size - it’s all about the writing and choreography- I get what he’s saying but he’s only looking at one angle - as he said he wants to go against bigger guys - because it looks good to him - isn’t that what it would mean for snipes? At the end of the day snipes is way bigger anyway - these guys for too many egos - a film between the two would be good if writing/directed right
the plotwist being dr wu slept with mama dynamite and mjw n snipes are brothers, if they steal this thought from me I wont even be mad, I'd sue fa sho..........but happily
I met Wesly Snipes back in 1994 in front of a Chinese restaurant in Orlando FL, I was shocked how small he is . However, very classy and nice person since he could tell I was a fan and talked to me for bit and did not rush off.
So, he'll fight Tony Jaa who's small too but not Wesley Snipes??? Yeah....That's no sense at all. But hey Snipes is faster anyway. Joking though, but i would love to see a fight between them.
Wesley is 5' 9". 180 Mike is 6' 1". 225 Fighting a smaller guy doesn't work, unless you are the villain, putting the smaller hero over. In a film, you always want to be Rocky, fighting Drago, or Mr. T. No one cheered for Goliath.
The fight scene between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul Jabar was amazing and there was almost a two foot height difference. But that was the point of the scene.
so, in the previous video he said he wants to do a fighting scene with Donnie Yen who's 5'8... but here he said he wouldn't want to do one with Wesley Snipes, who's 5'9, because he's too small..... hmmm contradiction.
KontryBoy706 well Scott Adkins is around 5'11 and Michael Jai White sparred with him so therefore him sparring with Wesley Snipes shouldn't be an issue.
He just a self defense snob. He just probably considers Donnie truer to the martial artform and the lifestyle. Not taking anything away from Nino. He studied over 3 arts and was training a group of men in Atlanta seriously before the irs sht happened.
no it's not. they are sparring with him because he knows them, and he knows them because they are all celebrities. just because he has a friendly sparring session with them doesn't mean he is as good as them. it's not that they sparr with MJW to get ready for a title fight. and by the way i think MJW does that on purpouse for bragging rights. move around with somebody famous and then make sure that everybody knows it
@@bigbaba4542 yep exactly. I'm pretty sure I've never heard of a cage fighter mentioning sparring with MJW for a fight. But this guy spars with everyone. He probably sparred with Sub Zero n Scorpion in the latest MK movie lol.
I will say this, while I get his point about "looking like a bully", that would only apply if he was the "star" of the movie...that said, he contradicts himself bcuz In Falcon Rising, he fought Lateef Crowder and another Asian actor, both of whom were far shorter AND smaller than him and Mike was the star of that movie. I think it's more of a thing where he considers Wesley as a big brother and doesn't want to win (or lose) a fight against Wesley onscreen, but that's just my assumption...I do NOT think it's really a size thing though...Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais are way smaller than him AND Wesley, and he did fight scenes with them, and he stated in another video that he wants to do one with Donnie Yen who is just as small as Tony, so......
Really enjoyed MJW in "Triple Threat" (the movie he did with Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais & Tiger Chen). Really would like to see him do something with Wesley Snipes and Marrese Crump.
So let me get this straight lol: Because Wesley is not a bigger guy, MJW wouldn’t wanna do a fight scene with him because it wouldn’t look very good on screen? Ummm, if i recall Bruce Lee fought 7’2 Kareem in game of death and Bruce was 5’8 and that scene til this day is one of the most memorable moments in martial arts film history so I’m not quite following what jai is saying here. Just get it on it’s what the fans want too see!
You are making his point, that looked good for Bruce Lee because he was beating a way bigger guy. Mikes point is westley would be the smaller guy in the fight so it wouldn’t be a good look for MJW to be beating up a smaller Snipes. Although I disagree in the sense that it’s Westley Snipes who is a star in his own right so people wouldn’t look at the height difference
@@danieltaylor3398 Put height and size aside just for a moment , and think about who Wesley snipes is. he’s a fifth dan black belt in Shotokan Karate! a third dan black belt in taekwondo and second degree black belt in Hapkido ontop he knows kung fu. A guy with his stats? would put on a great performance against MJW and jai is a specialist in own right michael is only 6’0-6-1 maybe Wesley is 5’9 that’s not a major height difference.
@@mikefit3343 Wesley is 5,9. And your right not a major difference at all. He fought Marrese crump in welcom to sudden death and he is the same height as Wesley.
@@SparksBY1992 Take a kickboxer like Jason Statham and throw him into the mix: He’s 5’8 so he’s an inch shorter than Wesley and about 5inches shorter than MJW. He has a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu he is professionally- trained in wing chun kung-fu, karate and does all of his own stunts. You’ve seen his films Jason is an absolute badass! so is it only right that Jason should square up with another martial artist like Wesley because they’re similar in height? I mean if we’re talking just movies here Jason held his own against the rock in F7, F8 and Hobbs & Shaw films and the rock is 6’4 taller and bigger🤷🏽♂️ ( The fight scenes worked)👍 it wasn’t so much a mix match because Jason is a real martial artist who I believe could actually kick the rocks ass off script.
On the contrary Wesley came off good against Stallone in Demolition Man and Ving Rhames in Undisputed. He was smaller than both of them of course. I get what he saying. It only applies when he's the star though... if it's Wesley movie, Michael as the villain WOULD be perfect though because Wesley could get all his shyt off on him lol and look great since he's bigger lol.
MJW be capping did all them fight scenes with shorter guys. Undisputed II Scott Adkins 5'8/5'9, Tony Jaa, Lateef Crowder, Ukia Uwiaos, JCVD and more. Thing is Wesley is far more skilled than him. Would steal that fight scene from him like he did JCVD in Universal Soldier sequel. My man has an ego. He can't do that big man walk up and gradually checking all his shots easily. Snipes will move on him and make him look silly on film. He trying to avoid that lol. But, wants to do fight scenes with Donnie Yen ? Who's shorter than Snipes stop the cap
This dude act like wesley is my height. Wesley Snipes is 5'9 and MJW is 6'1.... He should want to be in a movie with Nino Brown. Wesley has so many classics that he was the "Star" of....the movie. Here he goes with this BS again. I still remember Jean Claude Van Damm commets. This dude is so full of himself.
He don't want no smoke with Wesley. Wesley is a better actor hands down (no pun intended) MJW is reminding me of a random actor in a BET movie. Do one movie on BET, end up thinking u ah A-lister! MJW was being shady big time.
Wesley Snipes is one of the Greatest black actor of this era and he gets hated so much by other black men so subliminally!!! The Hate and envy we have for one another is Disgusting!!! MJW🤦
That’s when we hire a talented director. How else does Joe Pesci get away with being shorter than all his antagonists yet still be sinister. “Dutch Angles” Lmao.
I think this dude is an awesome actor & an even better combat athlete. He's also a good story teller with a shit load of knowledge & can express that knowledge based on his own ACTUAL experiences, making him someone worth listening to & worthy of respect.... Now with all that out the way, when it comes to things he only has a damn THEORY about & never experienced, he can be very unnecessarily & overly technical!!

You could see in never back down 2 how he and Lyoto was just flowing, nostalgic👌🏾❤️
MJW always has a way passively explaining why he's better than someone lol. He doesnt think Wesley is on his level is what he's really trying to say, or else he wouldn't have picked Donnie Yen as his favorite to perform a scene with in the other segment.
No he simply saying that it wouldn’t look as good. What’s with you people twisting interviews around.
Facts..Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa are way smaller. He is so full of himself
I thought I was tripping. He be the one to get his ass kicked in a real fight.
Alex Wu I would really like to see to see MJW and Jason Statham go for a few rounds.
I like Michael Jai White but he does have a way of showing a little arrogance he needs to go and getting a UFC and let's see I know he got friends and he spies but no getting a real fight get in the Ufc
While I have no issue with the way Michael Jai White explained that, honestly, a good fighter is a good fighter, doesnt matter how tall they are. Having a fight scene with, Tom Cruise, Wesley Snipes, Iko Uwais, any of those guys, would be an honor for me. When humans look at those guys, they're not thinking, "You know what, they're too small". Come on now. Nah.
TERRANCE OUT
Actually that's exactly what most of us are thinking. Point is, it takes away from the bigger guy. He can't showcase his full skillset in the proper way as if he were fighting someone or equal size or larger.
Tell that to Bruce Lee 😅
I really like the MJW handles his interviews. He really lays it down exactly the way it is. Most of the time the interviewer talks about this outlandish shit that's rumors or whatever. MJW is always like "No that does not happen." He doesn't throw more wood on the fire, instead he douses it with water to bring it back to reality. It's refreshing to see, especially when you have guys out there like Seagull or Van Damme that plays along when for example, asked about "who would win in a fight between so & so actor or so & so actor??"
This the earliest i been to any video i agl lmaoo
@Dan Don get em!!!
Well Snipes has trained in Hapkido, Shotokan, Brazilian Jujitsu, Capoeria, and Kickboxing, so I think it would certainly be a fair fight and not as easy as MJW thinks it would be lol
I don’t think he’s saying it would be easy, he’s sayin it wouldn’t look right
He's not talking about a fight, he's saying a fight scene wouldn't look good.
You didn't watch the video, did you?
🙄 someone give this man a slice of humble 🥧 An action movie with Wesley and White would be great with the right director
Dude fr
These muhfcas ain't gettin no younger
These need to hurry up an make as many good movies while they still can
Exactly. He's projecting real world concerns ("I'm bigger") onto a potential MOVIE, which is FICTION. Vlad, please convince MJW he's wrong
Like Two Old cranky Ex Cops team up for a final take down thing..... That would work...
this guy should be lucky to be in the same room as wesley snipes
funny how mjw is calling him small when mjw is only 3 inches taller than snipes
Facts. Wesley has faster hands so he looks way better on screen and realistic
I acknowledge MJW, his skill, wisdom and overall intellectual know how. That said I guarantee he has fought (on camera) many dudes that were "smaller" than himself and didn't seem to bother him. I don't think he's intimidated by anyone least of all WS...however Wesley has paved the way for MANY thru his legendary (yeah I said it) legendary style, charisma and badass bravado that can't be replicated nor duplicated no matter who you try to measure up (despite his frame being smaller) that don't mean shit. WS commanded respect on camera and will always be in the hearts of the countless loyal fans that he has amassed because of who he was and how he was portrayed. Thank you Wesley Snipes.
Excellent comment
Okay for those who think Michael is scared of Wesley, y’all are not getting the point…He said he would prefer to do a fight scene with someone bigger and taller than him like “The Rock” and he further explained why. I don’t think he’s scared if u ask me..🤷🏿♂️
Exactly. These Weak men, are not used to guy that is as Confident in his abilities as MJW is. Whether he can Fight or not, we will never know. He's said himself that he is not a (Professional) fight, but he can (Fight).
He's more of a Self-Defense guy, not Sports based Fighting. These Dudes need to get out of their feelings
@@ImDrunkAndHorny real talk. People are always looking for something negative to say😂
He's scared 😂
@@just2fresh814 I know you trolling lol.. you don’t even that😂
That’s assuming he’s the star of the Movie - you can be the bigger guy and get your ass licked by the smaller guy ( both in real life and film) this is why he isn’t a Director and only has a hand full of decent movies - The protagonist can be any size - it’s all about the writing and choreography- I get what he’s saying but he’s only looking at one angle - as he said he wants to go against bigger guys - because it looks good to him - isn’t that what it would mean for snipes? At the end of the day snipes is way bigger anyway - these guys for too many egos - a film between the two would be good if writing/directed right
Fun fact mjw was an extra on TMNT 2 secret of the ooze 😂😂😂
He must've been a foot soldier
@@jada8047 Had to be😂
@@cashh1004 lol
I’d like them as a duo in an action film 🎬
OG black superheroes
if you liked black dynamite imagine wesley as the sequel villain, THE SON OF DR WU!!!
the plotwist being dr wu slept with mama dynamite and mjw n snipes are brothers, if they steal this thought from me I wont even be mad, I'd sue fa sho..........but happily
I met Wesly Snipes back in 1994 in front of a Chinese restaurant in Orlando FL, I was shocked how small he is . However, very classy and nice person since he could tell I was a fan and talked to me for bit and did not rush off.
How tall was he though?
Like 5'6"
@@patrickellis3338 and probably small in stature too?
He was muscular in very good shape
I live in Orlando, what Chinese restaurant was it lol
So, he'll fight Tony Jaa who's small too but not Wesley Snipes??? Yeah....That's no sense at all. But hey Snipes is faster anyway. Joking though, but i would love to see a fight between them.
Wesley also fought Ving Rhames in Undisputed as well
@@ambrosefreeman501 Wesley showed off alot of great Boxing skills in this one.
Wesley is 5' 9". 180
Mike is 6' 1". 225
Fighting a smaller guy doesn't work, unless you are the villain, putting the smaller hero over.
In a film, you always want to be Rocky, fighting Drago, or Mr. T. No one cheered for Goliath.
Mike at this point has to prove how nice he is! He talks way to confident to not have any real fight footage. 😂
He does have fight footage
Competitive fight footage
🙄
MJW was looking like, "ah they fought for real, that's real cool." Vlad asks, "have you ever done it," MJW answers, "no, that's stupid." 🤣🤣🤣
Let him tell it he can whoop just about anybody😂😂😂
Actually he could lol
@@tdotson1907 actually nobody can’t.
He has the most inflated ego of anyone I’ve seen lol
Haha exactly
I know right he think he the best fighter I never seen him in a real fight
The fight scene between Bruce Lee and Kareem Abdul Jabar was amazing and there was almost a two foot height difference. But that was the point of the scene.
Amd he was making the same point that he wants to be the smaller man in that equation
One a the coolest fight scenes of all times!!
Fcn classic!!!
so, in the previous video he said he wants to do a fighting scene with Donnie Yen who's 5'8... but here he said he wouldn't want to do one with Wesley Snipes, who's 5'9, because he's too small..... hmmm contradiction.
Yeah ... something's kinda fishy right here ..... perhaps some anterior motives ... and I like Michael Jai ... But there's more to this story
KontryBoy706 well Scott Adkins is around 5'11 and Michael Jai White sparred with him so therefore him sparring with Wesley Snipes shouldn't be an issue.
He just a self defense snob. He just probably considers Donnie truer to the martial artform and the lifestyle. Not taking anything away from Nino. He studied over 3 arts and was training a group of men in Atlanta seriously before the irs sht happened.
Imagine how fast and crazy a Bruce Lee & DJ Mighty Mouse scene could’ve been
Now I gotta go watch 21 questions video 🤦🏾♂️
Damn ikr i was hopin it was a good street karate movie i could go watch right now
But it just a ghey azz music video smh
The more I listen to this man, the more I respect, love and learn from him.
He's a goof
This is gonna be the new Bruce Lee controversy 🤣 you gotta love how candid Michael Jai White is 🤣🤣🤣
21 questions is a song that will never go away and Wesley Snipes is my nigga ..WE ALL LOVE BLADE!!!
Snipes is a legend.
If you know the fighters MJW is mentioning like Lyoto Machida, it's down right insane that he's sparing with UFC fighters of that caliber.
no it's not. they are sparring with him because he knows them, and he knows them because they are all celebrities. just because he has a friendly sparring session with them doesn't mean he is as good as them. it's not that they sparr with MJW to get ready for a title fight.
and by the way i think MJW does that on purpouse for bragging rights. move around with somebody famous and then make sure that everybody knows it
@@bigbaba4542 yep exactly. I'm pretty sure I've never heard of a cage fighter mentioning sparring with MJW for a fight. But this guy spars with everyone. He probably sparred with Sub Zero n Scorpion in the latest MK movie lol.
I will say this, while I get his point about "looking like a bully", that would only apply if he was the "star" of the movie...that said, he contradicts himself bcuz In Falcon Rising, he fought Lateef Crowder and another Asian actor, both of whom were far shorter AND smaller than him and Mike was the star of that movie. I think it's more of a thing where he considers Wesley as a big brother and doesn't want to win (or lose) a fight against Wesley onscreen, but that's just my assumption...I do NOT think it's really a size thing though...Tony Jaa and Iko Uwais are way smaller than him AND Wesley, and he did fight scenes with them, and he stated in another video that he wants to do one with Donnie Yen who is just as small as Tony, so......
It's because Wesley may embarrass him on film lol. Maybe more skilled and fluid than him. Definitely faster
@dtill5322 wesley moves are more fluid and moves with grace of you ever seem his top action moves. Jai is definitely more powerful.
Really enjoyed MJW in "Triple Threat" (the movie he did with Tony Jaa, Iko Uwais & Tiger Chen). Really would like to see him do something with Wesley Snipes and Marrese Crump.
It ain't the size of the DOG in the first,It's size of the FIGHT in the DOG!!!
MJW! A legend in his own mind...
In Joe Rogan’s mind also so…
😴
😂😂😂😂😂
But wants to do a scene with Donnie Yen 😂😂💀
Yeah Mike has skills but he don't want smoke with Snipes
facts lol
Wesley Snipes ain't no 5'5
So let me get this straight lol: Because Wesley is not a bigger guy, MJW wouldn’t wanna do a fight scene with him because it wouldn’t look very good on screen? Ummm, if i recall Bruce Lee fought 7’2 Kareem in game of death and Bruce was 5’8 and that scene til this day is one of the most memorable moments in martial arts film history so I’m not quite following what jai is saying here. Just get it on it’s what the fans want too see!
You are making his point, that looked good for Bruce Lee because he was beating a way bigger guy. Mikes point is westley would be the smaller guy in the fight so it wouldn’t be a good look for MJW to be beating up a smaller Snipes. Although I disagree in the sense that it’s Westley Snipes who is a star in his own right so people wouldn’t look at the height difference
@@danieltaylor3398 Put height and size aside just for a moment , and think about who Wesley snipes is. he’s a fifth dan black belt in Shotokan Karate! a third dan black belt in taekwondo and second degree black belt in Hapkido ontop he knows kung fu. A guy with his stats? would put on a great performance against MJW and jai is a specialist in own right michael is only 6’0-6-1 maybe Wesley is 5’9 that’s not a major height difference.
@@mikefit3343 Wesley is 5,9. And your right not a major difference at all. He fought Marrese crump in welcom to sudden death and he is the same height as Wesley.
@@SparksBY1992 Take a kickboxer like Jason Statham and throw him into the mix:
He’s 5’8 so he’s an inch shorter than Wesley and about 5inches shorter than MJW. He has a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu he is professionally- trained in wing chun kung-fu, karate and does all of his own stunts. You’ve seen his films Jason is an absolute badass! so is it only right that Jason should square up with another martial artist like Wesley because they’re similar in height? I mean if we’re talking just movies here Jason held his own against the rock in F7, F8 and Hobbs & Shaw films and the rock is 6’4 taller and bigger🤷🏽♂️ ( The fight scenes worked)👍 it wasn’t so much a mix match because Jason is a real martial artist who I believe could actually kick the rocks ass off script.
@@mikefit3343 Wesley is 60 it would’ve been good 20-25 years ago
On the contrary Wesley came off good against Stallone in Demolition Man and Ving Rhames in Undisputed. He was smaller than both of them of course. I get what he saying. It only applies when he's the star though... if it's Wesley movie, Michael as the villain WOULD be perfect though because Wesley could get all his shyt off on him lol and look great since he's bigger lol.
Yep.
Ha undisputed forgot all about one
That chit a classic
@@adamoxen read again, I didn't say he was shorter... I said he was smaller….
@@KontryBoy706 I’d argue that they were probably around the same size. Stallone probably appears bigger because he’s more vascular
MJW be capping did all them fight scenes with shorter guys. Undisputed II Scott Adkins 5'8/5'9, Tony Jaa, Lateef Crowder, Ukia Uwiaos, JCVD and more. Thing is Wesley is far more skilled than him. Would steal that fight scene from him like he did JCVD in Universal Soldier sequel. My man has an ego. He can't do that big man walk up and gradually checking all his shots easily. Snipes will move on him and make him look silly on film. He trying to avoid that lol. But, wants to do fight scenes with Donnie Yen ? Who's shorter than Snipes stop the cap
I love how MJW thinks he's some giant when he's barely 6 feet tall himself lol
This dude act like wesley is my height. Wesley Snipes is 5'9 and MJW is 6'1.... He should want to be in a movie with Nino Brown. Wesley has so many classics that he was the "Star" of....the movie. Here he goes with this BS again. I still remember Jean Claude Van Damm commets. This dude is so full of himself.
I agree! He used to get his ass handed to him on the NY tournament scene. I have the tapes.
@@Charlie-gv3zt Really is this back in the 90s? And will you ever post it?
@@08camronk March 15,1987.
What is your height?
He don't want no smoke with Wesley. Wesley is a better actor hands down (no pun intended) MJW is reminding me of a random actor in a BET movie. Do one movie on BET, end up thinking u ah A-lister! MJW was being shady big time.
Snipes wisely declined to return for the Major league sequels...he became a bonafide action star with Passenger 57 and never stopped.
Wesley Snipes is one of the Greatest black actor of this era and he gets hated so much by other black men so subliminally!!! The Hate and envy we have for one another is Disgusting!!! MJW🤦
Facts
I wholeheartedly believe Blade would wash Spawn🤣
But you want a fight scene with Donnie Yen?
MJW sounds kinda like Seagal credits himself way too much!! 😂
He never disappointed his fans with great acting keep up the good work
Michael Jai always seem to amuse me 🤣 Great interview.
That’s when we hire a talented director. How else does Joe Pesci get away with being shorter than all his antagonists yet still be sinister. “Dutch Angles” Lmao.
Since coming on Vlad Michael Jae is really feeling his self
So he's saying Snipes is a Dwarf...Got it!
jackie chan is a legend for drunken master and the fight scene at the end, and van damme with the bloodsport/kickboxer movies.
I think this dude is an awesome actor & an even better combat athlete. He's also a good story teller with a shit load of knowledge & can express that knowledge based on his own ACTUAL experiences, making him someone worth listening to & worthy of respect.... Now with all that out the way, when it comes to things he only has a damn THEORY about & never experienced, he can be very unnecessarily & overly technical!! Like damn dawg you REALLY have to dig that deep to explain why you're not willing to work with somebody?!!
things we like or do not like on others is mostly da shit we like orcnot like about ourselfs
da way u detailed describe shit itz likee
u r da defenition of diz shit
He’s lowkey the most cocky guy ever…. But it’s very lowkey 😂😂 still love em
I wanna see MJW and Wesley do a fight like Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris had in Return/Way of the Dragon
Oh haaaill yeeaaah!!!
Even the movie called Game of Death with Wesley Snipes that came out in 2010, he was destroying fighters that was bigger than him.
Didn’t he have a fight scene with Tony Jaa who’s like 5’8 ?
yep sure did mjw a hater clearly
My buddy told me Michael challenged Henry Cejudo to light sparring with grappling and got worked bad.
Damn, and that's the fight scene I've been saying I wanted to see for years 😔
man vlad tell mike we need more movies from him i still haven’t seen johnny outlaw, black dynamite in my top 3 of all time. it actually number 2 under friday. mike we need more content from you brother!!!!
Blade vs spawn lol yes plz🤣
I was gonna comment this 😂💀
Yes
What movie did Tyson fight 50??
That makes a lot of sense cause Mike is 6.1 vs Wesley is 5.9
2:19 - when you mention steven seagull around MJW
Nigga acting like fast 5 didn't make Vin diesel and the rock the same height

What do you mean?

As far as a Movie fight scene Wesley could probably do a good job.

Snipes is nice with those hands and he knows it. Since Michael isn't, that's the real reason he doesn't want any parts of that.
True!
lol OK mike well do a movie where yall on the same damn team back to back kickin ass. we would LOVE it. Snipes & Jai
He did a great fight scene with JCVD who is 5'10. Snipes is 5'9 so not a big difference
He prolly just don't want no other brotha "outblackin" him on the screen
He is hating on Wesley.
@@Charlie-gv3zt definitely seems like it lol
funny how mjw calling snipes small but did a fight scene with tony ja who is 5'7 mjw sure is a hater
I always liked the fact that MJW was a wicked buff dude who does no bullshit martial arts

OMG!!Mr.Snipes He's Amazing GREAT fighter Excellent 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎬
