I just watched that clip on elektra and all I have to say is wow, from that behind the scenes clip, Elektra should be a great film, it has excellent cast members, Jennifer Garner is an Elektra fan.

There might be a video game of Elektra coming out, I hope Jennifer Garner does the voice of Elektra if it does come out.

Uh...Ok...

I read somewhere that the director's cut of DareDevil is coming out sometime this November.

I am glad that they are doing a spin off all about Elektra, that should be a great movie to watch.

I think the new Elektra costumes suits Jennifer Garner, it is similar to the comic books, but modified it to look modern.

I believe Bo sticks are simply sticks with no sharp tips etc. however, that could also be different in the movie. *shrugs* Here's a picture

I can't wait for this movie, more of Jennifer Garner in a superhero comic movie is just so great, she will do great in this movie.

 

[Aliasfan13]

In the clip, Elektra's Bo-stick seemed to have a metal cap. Otherwise it would be a spear if it had a sharp tip. ^_^

The fanboys on the Elektra/DD forums are really stoked about this movie. Almost every one of them love the red costume and found the trailer/promo stunning. They all say it will be a big movie.

That is the basic difference between Bo sticks and Jo sticks.

Bo sticks are 6 foot long staffs. They originated as the shoulder supported stick from which Japanese peasants hang their loads on each end.

Jo sticks are generally 4 to 5 foot short staffs. These originated from Japanese walking sticks.

Sticks and Stones Will Break Your Bones: A Look at Jo and Bo

Bo means "staff" and generally refers to a weapon about six shaku in length, or six feet, or thereabouts, and one sun in diameter. Jo, meaning "stick" or "cudgel" are shorter weapons and do not have a standard length or diameter, as size depends on the particular ryu. Both the bo and jo lack a cutting edge or sharpened point, so they are classified as impact weapons and derive their effect from the force delivered by accurately hitting or thrusting at a particular target. It is likely that the staff was developed systematically as a weapon before the stick, due to the advantage of longer reach. The stick began to be used in combat as technical sophistication and experience with the weapon increased.

Haha I know another reason they moved up the release date, it woulda came out like a four days before Daredevlil had :lol:
