China Salesman


Magic Johnson vs Larry Bird. Coke vs Pepsi. Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant. Yankees vs Red Sox. Alien vs Predator. These are some of history greatest rivalries of all-time. You can now add Mike Tyson vs Steven Seagal to the conversation. Would this showdown be a tad bit more intriguing in say 1990 when both men were absolute titans of the world? Probably, but we didn’t, so just enjoy this incredible collision of personalities 30 years after the fact.

Iron Mike and Takeshigemichi are bigger-than-life Goliaths in the upcoming movie titled China Salesman. Tyson is a local tribesman Kabbah from Africa and Seagal is mercenary Lauder, who both get drawn into a national conflict. The action-packed flick is actually based on a real-life story and features an 8-minute battle royale between Tyson and Seagal. SOLD! BONUS: Tanks, lots of explosions, and Seagal pretending he can still perform martial arts.

Director Tan Bing said launching this film was “very difficult” because Seagal was only willing to appear in the movie if his character won the battle against Tyson’s character. On the other hand, Tyson told the director that he would defeat Seagal in the epic battle. Tan had to appease them both by saying both men would win the fight. Even more reason to see this flick because of the passion.

Let’s be honest, this looks better than most movies in theaters right now. The best part, you don’t even have to dole out the big bucks to see this instant classic in theaters because somehow this epic is going straight to VOD on June 15th and to Blu-Ray/DVD on June 26th. Can straight-to-video movies still win the ‘Best Picture’ Oscar? If not an exception should be made for China Salesman.
