Behind Bourne
Part One - Matt Damon on The Bourne Identity
The Bourne Identity introduces film audiences to Jason Bourne, the hero of three Robert Ludlum novels. Matt Damon plays Bourne in the film, an amnesiac who soon discovers he has the powers of a superspy. He then has to use those powers against his former colleagues, rogue CIA operatives who want to eliminate him before he remembers too much.
Here's what Damon had to say about becoming action hero Jason Bourne:
Did you have to get into extra good shape for this? I was in probably as good shape as I've ever been in because I was boxing and doing martial arts and all this weapons training. I really went overboard because I had a few months, I had like four or five months. Also, because of the way we talked about him, Doug said he wanted him to walk like a boxer, with the directness that a boxer walks with. He wanted him to move just in a very efficient way. When I first saw Doug, he said, "Pull up your shirt." And I pulled up my shirt and he said, "Oh God, oh God." I said, "No, in three months, don't worry. It's going to be hard as a rock."
What fighting style did you learn? Kali, it's a Filipino style. It has a lot to do with clubs and knives and a trapping technique is actually what they call it. To watch these guys do it is beautiful. It's like if somebody throws a punch at you, there are these destruction movies. Where I do it is with the pen. When I take the pen out, that's kind of what this style is, which is rather than go directly for somebody's throat, you just slowly take them apart. Each of those hits to the guy are designed as that's in the bicep, that's in the tricep, that one's in the forarm, that one's in the hand. To those guys, they like that sequence because they think it's true to their style.
http://actionadventure.about.com/library/w...2/aa061402a.htmHere is another movie called the Hunted staring Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro where filipino martial art is also used in the movie and talked about in the clip section.
http://www.huntedmovie.com/home.htmlDid anyone watch any of these movies and notice the Kali Martial Arts used in the films?

The reason being, they never let the dirty spiks conquer them

muslims fought to keep from being conquered! they have been fighting since day one!
anyways, it is for philippine unity to include the muslims and the indigenous. These people are not included at all in the philippine flag. only their ancestral land is recognized, Luzon and Mindanao...
i think the flag is deficient in representing these people! how can they feel a sense of nationalism when they are not even represented on the freaking flag???!
you guys have static thinking, i know it is hard and scarey thing for you to do something that is different, but look at the past, is everything the way it should be? maybe we can be doing something better!
philippines is known to be corrupt government through history, does that mean we should continue to be corrupt? or is someone going to stand up and actually think of ways to fix it!
why keep voting for actors etc? the only thing u can do on the personal level is educate yourself and know better than to vote for actor!

It is easier to be said than done dalawapo. Considering you don't live there, you don't have to endure all the sufferings our filipino brothers experience everyday.

I think an ordinary muslim in mindanao or Manila's last worry is about adding an extra ray to the flag. I think they have more important problems like finding their next meal.
Dalwapo, would you think the people of the US would vote to make Puerto Rico the 51st state?
A couple of years ago that was in the ballot in it didn't pass

i know i would not, because i would be facing descrimination because of being mixed filipino and pacific islander.
i would live just like my cousin who is half black and half filipina who recently came to america to live with me and tell me of the horror descrimination she face because her skin is a little too dark than "normal" despiting being a beautiful and very smart person.
i would not go back to thephiilppines, there are too many problems and i do not feel belonging.

i always learn kali-escrima-arnis refers to the same thing, native philippine martial arts.
kali - indigenous word
escrima/arnis - spanish words
i think these plethra of words to describe the same thing is what sometimes confuses filipinos and contribute to "identity crisis"
i mean like there is the different ways to refer to the philippines....
P-ilipino, F-ilipino, pinoy, filipinas, pilipinas, "flip" etc..
they all refer to the same thing, but some people try explain why there are differences.
one explanation i read for the reason of the word "P-ilipino" was that during the standardizing process of the national language which was based on tagalog language, Pilipino was the name to be used until the national language evolved by adding local dialects and foreign words and then it would be renamed "Filipino"
WTF is that.. lol confusiion!
and so people do not know what to call us because they may have heard us filipinos call ourselves by all these words, and sometimes they even say philippino!
all thse words just complicating things. i think we need some standardizing of words and identities!

Kali, Arnis are acceptable but escrima? It is usually refer to a person holding swords

ye, i tihnk dalawapo is mixed up...
anyways, yea i don't think you'd last long, and it'd definitely not be b/c you're mixed. no one would tell the difference since as you said, filipinos have a large array of skin colours...

1. Arnis Eskrima--the kind of arnis where you used knives and daggers (batangas) like the one shown inm The Hunted.
2. Arnis de Mano --is usually more on the use of clubs (rattan) and fist.

I think the Born Legacy which the setting and shooting is in Manila will have many Kali Fighting Scenes even if Matt Damon will not be in the movie but Jeremy Renner who will portray Jason Bourne's son. I have heard the the next Bourne series Matt Damon and Jeremy Renner would be in it.
