These are probably b-grade action flicks, but Art of War was pretty entertaining if not lacking tightness in the narrative structure. Anne Archer and Donald Sutherland were in the first one, along with at least one famous looking Hong Kong starlet (hate that pompous poor British accent they do, though).
Anyway, Snipes is a martial artist and I appreciate the reference to something a bit different. Whether he actually represents Silat I think we can assume that the fight choreography serves the film, not martial art nerds, but it's still a reference.
