Welcome BACK! To another Episode. Thank you all for being so supportive. I want to note our favorite rapper/actor Common makes an appearance in Ava (2020) so we urge you to check our John Wick vs Common BJJ / Judo breakdown on our channel too: ruclips.net/video/_aOpGPQFpPM/видео.html Logan/Chad also want to note practicing the Ashi Otoshi is deceivingly risky so please only practice with a professional trainer! With that being said, which breakdown would you like to see us cover next?
Movies like this would be so much better if you choreographed the fights. It's always fun to watch Chad and Logan explain every detail, even though I am not a fighter myself.
@@ScenicFights Honestly curious, since we know a bit more about how fight scenes are crafted, how would you go about giving the decisions of choreography consistent character, while still selling the fight as "these characters are in danger"? Would you be able to weave more believable mistakes into the fight to make the fight last the length the director needs for run time and rising tension of the fight? How much would you factor the position of the camera and lighting into your choreography recommendations? I have no doubt if a choreographer is involved at story boarding and scheduling of script, especially if there is a proper rehearsal budget as opposed to day of shooting choreography, that must make a big difference in the quality of a fight scene.
@@CanadianWolverine This is a great question and something we will answer in depth in the future. I will keep it short for now, it really comes down to the director/producer vision and how much focus they want to put into the fight choreography. Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick series, is an experienced stuntman and a huge fan of old school martial art films, that is why the John Wick choreography is often praised in Hollywood because the Director can clearly communicate his vision to the choreographers, and the producers will let him. Chad also understands that a good fight choreography can enhance character development, and be further enhanced by dramatic lighting and camera positioning. Having a fight scene being a multiplier of character development and plot development is not unusual in Hong Kong cinema, but it's relatively new in Hollywood. The issue with most Hollywood films is they don't put any planning into fight choreography, they usually have stunt actors improv on the spot! Furthermore, the director/producer don't care about it or the cinematographer doesn't know how to properly shoot it or the editor doesn't know how to edit it. Therefore, a good choreography can look bad if it's not shot well and a fight scene that was shot was well can also look bad if the editor doesn't know how to edit it together (like not editing out camera tricks that will look like mistakes...) With that being said, the producer really needs to make a team that really cares about fight scenes, which is often the last thing since it can be expensive and time consuming.
Chad is an amazing BJJ and MMA coach. He offers private classes in NY. Feel free to hit him up on his IG @chdvazquezbjj for more information about training.
I would agree that the new "standard" for fight choreography in films makes watching scenes like these tough. I didn't realize how new this movie was, which makes it disappointing that the fights look so sloppy
It is good to see a video of this pair again. Their channel is amazing, and they seem to have a chemistry that makes the video interesting to watch. I hope you can continue the excellent work.
I'd be interested to see a breakdown of Nagisa vs Karma from Assassination Classroom. It's really well choreographed for an animated fight. From what I could tell there were very few unrealistic attacks, but I'd like to see how viable you think Nagisa's final move would be in real life.
Delightful content as always! Y’all are so dedicated to the conversations in your comment section- every time I scroll through while a breakdown is happening, I see that you’ve liked or replied to about 90% of them!! I appreciate all the work that you do to foster a neat community who is just as passionate about film and martial arts as your team clearly is. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you so much! We are extremely grateful for the support. It really means a lot to us and comments like this motivates us to continue making content for our subscribers.
I love how you guys not only give a detailed breakdown but also give alternatives to what characters could do instead, I love you guys. Please breakdown the medical room scene in mile 22 where it’s the officer is assaulted by 2 guys with scalpels and wins
Thank you so much for the kind comment and breakdown request! If you're a fan of Iko Uwais, we did rank all his best fight scenes and movies: ruclips.net/video/gp1xEIYckj0/видео.html
Loved the breakdown of the crucifix. I remember back when i was about 18 and I went to boxing/mma/grappling classes taught by the top student of my childhood karate instructor a couple times per week, he showed us how to defend against a front takedown by rotating it into a crucifix. It was one of the most intuitive, fun, powerful, etc. moves he ever showed us. Love the crucifix.
For the first scene, if they wanted to keep the "throw him off" for flow reasons, my first thought was to do a hip lift escape. Sure it doesn't work so well against someone experienced without a few extras (like tucking a leg and rolling to the side) but it is at least far more "realistic" than the funky arm push off and keeps the fight flow the way they had it.
The fight scenes almost made me turn this movie off. I was excited to see you made a video about it. Although while watching I was waiting to see if you would bring up the horrendous choking techniques in this movie, they were absolutely despicable. I totally agree with you and many commenters on here. Especially since movies like John Wick I feel like there is no excuse for action movies now a days to not have excellently choreographed fight scenes with proper weapons work, especially with firearms as there is so much consumable content both online or available at training facilities like Taren Tactical. No excuse for an actor to not know how to properly handle a firearm and make it look like they are properly managing recoil. As far as hand to hand goes, so many looping telegraphed hooks. It was cringy!
@@logan607 true. The firearm handling wasn't the worst I've seen in movies and tv but still not great. I just feel like the stakes have been raised and now if you don't live up to the bar that has been set it just looks corny. An action movie or show with bad fight scenes and weapons handling is like an MMA fighter in the UFC not knowing any of the ground game. There is just no reason for it.
Great to see you guys back at it again! Can’t wait for more videos on any fight scenes haha Also, just an idea, maybe y’all could look over some other John Wick scenes? Like the knife one in parabellum, or maybe the one with all the glass with Mark Dacascos, Yayan Ruhian, and Cecep Arif Rahman; can’t rly remember if it’s got a lot of knife fighting or bjj
Can you guys do a break down of both fight scene's that take place in the airport from the movie Tenet? And by both I mean the first time we see the fight, and then later in the movie when we see the same fight but in a reversed time perspective. I really love the complexity on that fight so I would like to see how legit it is. Your content is amazing btw, very excited for more break downs :D
Looking up the stunt choreographer and I’m amazed to find out it’s Jeff Imada. This guy is one of the leading reasons we have the much better standard of fights that you mention and he’s got decades of experience in Kali and with using weapons and improvised weapons in films. I can only assume the director over ruled him
Chad and Logan make their channel required viewing for any modern action movie fan. As time goes on, audiences get more educated and should expect more from their movie fights. Who hasn't looked at a fight and said, "Ahh, that's fake!" . My suggestion: Never Back Down, final fight scene. Circa 2008, came out at the rise of MMA. the choreography seems solid, but we as fight fans, know more now. Thanks for the great content.
@@ScenicFights Thanks for your genial reply! Just thought of another couple of older movies. The Punisher (1990) with Dolph Lundgren. He has a pretty intense knife/weapon showdown near the end of the movie. He is a martial artist, and it shows. The second was Kiss of The Dragon. Jet Li has a showdown with an MMA-type fighter in close quarters. He has to modify his approach and techniques in order to beat him, much like a boss fight. Thanks again!
Been enjoying your guys movie fight breakdowns. I wonder if you guys would breakdown video games cut scenes fight? Like Metal Gear Solid series for example.
I've seen the first video of this channel when got just a bunch of subscribers,and I am so really happy to see how much you are growing,keep doing your work guys,i love this so much!
Nicely done guys my favourite takedown was the Harai goshi ... crap I could feel how that worked!! - the knife work was sub par - this channel has definitely helped to highlight that a man with a knife is not someone to be trifled with
What's interesting about That duel is that despite the silliness of The Princess Bride...It's widely considered one of the greatest sword fights in cinema history.
Another great video. I think what you guys are doing is some of the best stuff on RUclips ! It definitely makes me want to roll more. I love the organic transitions and the fact that if your intent is to maim injury kill you are presented with many opportunities. A “street” fight looks a lot different then the Bjj we see even within something like ufc
oh shit a new Scenic fights breakdown already ? :O nice ! Can Logan do a breakdown of Re: Born (2016)'s knife fight scenes ? That had some very..... unique knife fighting techniques that I'd love to see Logan's reactions to ! great vid as always.
It's getting easier for us to put out videos the more subscribers and viewers we get! So thank you everyone for the support. As for Re:born, we're looking into it but no date announcement yet.
Great tips! Here's some of mine: On ground from back can also grab back of elbow with 1 hand;let's say left hand&back of neck with right hand, which then you move right elbow up or down to stop punches. On hand grabbing elbow, they won't be able to punch&it's relatively easy to hold onto someone's elbow. Then trying to flip them in 1 direction hard, then as soon as they push back, I switch directions&they help my flip them.
Yep, that's another great variation of a mount escape. If you see any fight clips that has mount, send them over. I can show different types of mount escapes, and the one you mentioned, being one of them.
Woooohoooo love the detail and info about these :D One scene I definitely want to see a breakdown is Mission Impossible Rouge Nation's Knife fight with Ilsa Faust vs Janik Vinter,
Nicely done on the breakdown, never seen this movie before looks recent and I’m not going to watch it cause looks terrible, anyways can you guys break down the raid 2 karambit fight scene
What great insight and breakdown. I really appreciate the longer videos. There's probably not much to break down, but maybe something from Cobra Kai? Maybe the Johnny vs. Kreese first time?
Oh my God, oh my God. I'm sorry, first of all I love this channel. Second, you have to do the axe fight between Sylvester Stallone and Jason Momoa in Bullet to the Head. It may be difficult, but I have confidence in yall. As for the yall, I'm from Virginia.
I'd like to see what Scenic Fights has to say about the final fight between Rama and The Assassin in the Raid 2. It's an incredible scene that has amazing escalation and holds up under repeat viewings. I think it's one of the best movies that uses the Karambit correctly. Hopefully, Scenic Fights gives that fight a good grade!
That scene is amazing, and we are aware of it. We rank it pretty high in our best Iko Uwais fight scenes ever which you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/gp1xEIYckj0/видео.html
Hey Guys, this was an awesome breakdown, but I'm sure you know that. There is an movie with beautiful fight scenes in it called "Kate". I saw it on Netflix, and it would be epic to see you guys break it down.
Would Love to see you Guys Breakdown the Movie Troy Hector vs Achilles. And The fight scenes from Universal Soldier: Regeneration, i think all the fights in that movie are worthy of being broken down by you guys
Love the channel keep up the great videos, one movie I recommend is atomic blond I haven’t seen it but some of the clips of the fight scenes look really good.
Great job guys!! After those years practicing martial arts , at a stand fight i have got a good chance. But oh boy ,when it goes to the ground .......i m done in seconds. This is science. Even as a big guy , 1,90 m , 108 kilos , i will have to see after, a video at slow motion to understand what happened to me
Lol wait, they are supposed to be assassin? For real? I haven't watched the film yet sure, but If Logan haven't mentioned it I actually thought they are indeed just two people having a tussle over something lol Anyway awesome breakdown as always guys!
Great and informative video, thanks! Can we hope for a breakdown of a fight scene from the second Kingsman - that one with Pedro Pascal's character at the final part of a movie?)
I did enjoy that last fight scene but you guys brought up great stuff that should've been done and it wasn't. Great video as always guys! Keep up the good work! Maybe do a breakdown of Paradox movie with Yue vs Collins fightscene!
Nice as always. Can you guys make a breakdown of Star Trek's Kirk vs Gorn? I would love to see your opinion about scene's striking, distance control, grappling, etc.
The video is amazing. You guys keep getting better. Love your channel 🙌. Haven't seen Ava yet. But after the video, I don't think it's worth the watch. Fight looks sloppy. Ever since Chad did a breakdown of one of Donnie Yen's fight, I always check in movies wherever they get the triangle choke correct😜. And they got it wrong in this one too... Great video guys, expecting more from you.
Thank you so much for the support! Ava is on Netflix now incase you want to make your own decision. It's always fun to watch Jessica Chastain, Common, Colin Farrell and John Malkovich.
Just found this channel, you guys are awesome! I was sad to not see any Warrior from HBO on here. I would love to see a breakdown of some of those fights.
Welcome aboard to the channel! One of our teammates is a huge Warrior fan so it's possible! Is there any specific scene from the series you'd like us to breakdown? Feel free to link it here or on our discord.
@@ScenicFights The one that comes to mind is Ah Sahm vs Bolo ruclips.net/video/tEOTWro4N18/видео.html There's no grappling, but it's some awesome hatchet vs hatchet fighting! I think the grappling in the show is pretty shallow so it won't be super impressive for that.
Been loving all the episodes so far. Would live to see you guys break down the operator v. the two assassins from the night comes for us. I can't really think of another film that has anyone using a kukri.
Haha Bollywood has an interesting style that's over-the-top but very entertaining. We are huge Bollywood fans and have visited India a few times in the past.
Great break down of the Ava fight scene, just from watching the sequences of the movie fight scenes and Chad’s demonstrations 2:29 from the knee into the tailbone region into the arm frame to the ankle control is it possible from that position to literally reverse it to where you’re on top??? And to Chow sorry for the mispronunciation of your name, the rock vs knife scene I’m in total agreement, from that side step and redirect of the initial low line thrust position alone with rock in left hand hook to body, hook to the head followed by a straight right good night the confrontation is over... Again great narrating, looking forward to the next Fight scene break down duces...
Hey man for the 2:29 part its hard to fully flip someone over and gain top just like that. However, if you can hip bump and then establish butterfly hooks, you can then do a sumi gaeshi(butterfly sweep) Theres a youtube tutorial for it look up "gordon ryan sumi gaeshi"
I'm waiting for the day when more movie directors learn from the John Wick movies and actually have their actors train for what they will be acting. As others have said here.. if you guys were to train the actor on how things really should be done.. this would be on a level comparable to John Wick. Some people don't care about accuracy, they just like a lot of flash and movements, with camera trickery.. but some of us get bored so fast with directors who are ignorant in the areas they are directing a movie about.. I feel if the actor/actress is being paid for a movie, they should also be paid for their accuracy, otherwise, they are not that good of an actor/actress.. they're giving a sub-par performance. :)
We 100% agree with this statement. Directors and Producers should take fight choreography serious and use it as a way to enhance character and plot development.
Hollywood is learning slowly but if they keep hiring experienced martial artists or at least people that have experience in Asian action cinema I'm sure at some point they will do a decent job. Also I will keep recommending Chocolate for Muay Thai, Zen vs Thomas please
Welcome BACK! To another Episode. Thank you all for being so supportive. I want to note our favorite rapper/actor Common makes an appearance in Ava (2020) so we urge you to check our John Wick vs Common BJJ / Judo breakdown on our channel too: ruclips.net/video/_aOpGPQFpPM/видео.html
Logan/Chad also want to note practicing the Ashi Otoshi is deceivingly risky so please only practice with a professional trainer!
With that being said, which breakdown would you like to see us cover next?
Great video guys!
Can you next react to resident evil 4 knife fight scene? Thank you.
The Swordsman 2020 (korean film)
PLEASE!
Would love to see you guys react to the 2004 film Throw down
@epicgaijin any particular scene that you can link here or on our discord?
"War Of Arrows" would be a great film to break down. Almost all weapon arts!
I can't believe Chad left Logan hanging at 4:24
For serious. Amirite?
Man hes in Pain
Awkward lol
Movies like this would be so much better if you choreographed the fights. It's always fun to watch Chad and Logan explain every detail, even though I am not a fighter myself.
That would be the dream. Hollywood, you know where to find us!
@@ScenicFights Honestly curious, since we know a bit more about how fight scenes are crafted, how would you go about giving the decisions of choreography consistent character, while still selling the fight as "these characters are in danger"? Would you be able to weave more believable mistakes into the fight to make the fight last the length the director needs for run time and rising tension of the fight? How much would you factor the position of the camera and lighting into your choreography recommendations?
I have no doubt if a choreographer is involved at story boarding and scheduling of script, especially if there is a proper rehearsal budget as opposed to day of shooting choreography, that must make a big difference in the quality of a fight scene.

*harumph*
Thanks, buddy. Appreciate the compliment and happy that you enjoyed the video.
It's like the choreographer was told he was designing fights for a domestic thriller rather than a spy movie.
I would agree that the new "standard" for fight choreography in films makes watching scenes like these tough. I didn't realize how new this movie was, which makes it disappointing that the fights look so sloppy
Audiences are much more sophisticated these days. Before 1996.....Nobody ever reloaded a gun.
Any Black Widow fight scene. Although the acrobatics may be a challenge.
The ankle trap while the "attacker" was on top was something I never even thought about! Great video guys
Thanks, buddy. If you see anymore fight scenes with mount position, let us know. I can show other variations.
It is good to see a video of this pair again. Their channel is amazing, and they seem to have a chemistry that makes the video interesting to watch. I hope you can continue the excellent work.
I'd be interested to see a breakdown of Nagisa vs Karma from Assassination Classroom. It's really well choreographed for an animated fight. From what I could tell there were very few unrealistic attacks, but I'd like to see how viable you think Nagisa's final move would be in real life.
Quotes for life “ I’m in Manhattan...and this is a rock” 😂
It - or "Gyros are lit" - may be the title to my autobiography. Undecided.

@@Win7ermu7e Sorry, I meant that I'm shocked. Yes, he's well respected. I think he was probably overruled as you said?

I would lose because I’d be starstruck and too busy trying to get a pic with him.
Kill Bill Volume 1 (2003) the first knife fight scene in the house between the bride and black woman assassin is awesome.

It's right here for you: ruclips.net/video/-Ci6ttRVSRU/видео.html
7:57 is a perfect summary of this fight.
It would be nice to see you review Scenes from The Raid 1 and 2
Love the channel guys!!! Do a video on Marvel's Daredevil or The Batman Trailer!
Nicely done on the breakdown, never seen this movie before looks recent and I’m not going to watch it cause looks terrible, anyways can you guys break down the raid 2 karambit fight scene
It's on Netflix in case you want to see it! Regardless, whether it's great or not, you can't go wrong with Jessica Chastain.
What great insight and breakdown. I really appreciate the longer videos.
There's probably not much to break down, but maybe something from Cobra Kai? Maybe the Johnny vs. Kreese first time?
Cobra Kai is my favorite show ever! We def want to do something with Cobra Kai in the future.
@@ScenicFights oh awesome! Looking forward to it.
Do Ilsa knife fight mission impossible rogue nation or Bourne Identity pen vs knife next. Respect yall videos
Oh my God, oh my God. I'm sorry, first of all I love this channel. Second, you have to do the axe fight between Sylvester Stallone and Jason Momoa in Bullet to the Head. It may be difficult, but I have confidence in yall. As for the yall, I'm from Virginia.
Again an amazing video guys !!... Please do Jason Bourne next...
I'd like to see what Scenic Fights has to say about the final fight between Rama and The Assassin in the Raid 2. It's an incredible scene that has amazing escalation and holds up under repeat viewings. I think it's one of the best movies that uses the Karambit correctly. Hopefully, Scenic Fights gives that fight a good grade!
Loved this! Please do the Iko Uwasi kitchen fight scene from The Raid 2
That scene is amazing, and we are aware of it. We rank it pretty high in our best Iko Uwais fight scenes ever which you can check out here: ruclips.net/video/gp1xEIYckj0/видео.html
The beginning had me chuckle. My apologies to Logan.
He legit almost got his arm broken. Poor Logan lol.
Hey Guys, this was an awesome breakdown, but I'm sure you know that. There is an movie with beautiful fight scenes in it called "Kate". I saw it on Netflix, and it would be epic to see you guys break it down.
Don't mess with his marbles. He will win all the marbles.
Darn toot'n.
Hell yea!! Made my Friday
Glad we could do so!
Would Love to see you Guys Breakdown the Movie Troy Hector vs Achilles. And The fight scenes from Universal Soldier: Regeneration, i think all the fights in that movie are worthy of being broken down by you guys
I’ve barely done any bjj but when I saw them fall I said crucifix in sync with the video
Awesome videos! Would love to see a breakdown of Achilles vs hector in Troy
Love the channel keep up the great videos, one movie I recommend is atomic blond I haven’t seen it but some of the clips of the fight scenes look really good.
Great job guys!! After those years practicing martial arts , at a stand fight i have got a good chance. But oh boy ,when it goes to the ground .......i m done in seconds. This is science. Even as a big guy , 1,90 m , 108 kilos , i will have to see after, a video at slow motion to understand what happened to me
You got a subscription from me. Great content. I love this!
Thanks for subbing Mike! I highly recommend checking out our other breakdowns too including John Wick: ruclips.net/video/_aOpGPQFpPM/видео.html
@@ScenicFights Will do! 💪🏿
Jessica Chastain has been a practitioner of Krav Maga since 2010 after learning it for the film The Debt
Took that intro ground lock a bit too far huh 🤣🤣🤣
Lol wait, they are supposed to be assassin? For real?
I haven't watched the film yet sure, but If Logan haven't mentioned it I actually thought they are indeed just two people having a tussle over something lol
Anyway awesome breakdown as always guys!
Great breakdown guys!
Damn, 2 vids in 1 month, LETS GOO
We're doing out best to get these out faster! Stay tuned for another one.
Great and informative video, thanks! Can we hope for a breakdown of a fight scene from the second Kingsman - that one with Pedro Pascal's character at the final part of a movie?)
It's called a "magazine". Great videos. Keep up the good work.
This is correct! Logan misspoke there. Thank you for the correction.
I would absolutely love a breakdown of 'Kungfu Killer'' (2014) weapons fight scene (sword vs sword and then long pole vs pocket knife) scene!
I did enjoy that last fight scene but you guys brought up great stuff that should've been done and it wasn't. Great video as always guys!
Keep up the good work!
Maybe do a breakdown of Paradox movie with Yue vs Collins fightscene!
You guys should cover some of the fight scenes in Atomic Blonde
Charlize Theron was awesome in the film and the fight scenes are great. Something we will look into.
Can’t wait to see these guys whacking each other with high heel shoes lol
Nice as always. Can you guys make a breakdown of Star Trek's Kirk vs Gorn? I would love to see your opinion about scene's striking, distance control, grappling, etc.
Lmao! Maybe on April fools.
@@ScenicFights you're gonna make my day.
The video is amazing. You guys keep getting better. Love your channel 🙌. Haven't seen Ava yet. But after the video, I don't think it's worth the watch. Fight looks sloppy. Ever since Chad did a breakdown of one of Donnie Yen's fight, I always check in movies wherever they get the triangle choke correct😜. And they got it wrong in this one too... Great video guys, expecting more from you.
Thank you so much for the support! Ava is on Netflix now incase you want to make your own decision. It's always fun to watch Jessica Chastain, Common, Colin Farrell and John Malkovich.
Just found this channel, you guys are awesome! I was sad to not see any Warrior from HBO on here. I would love to see a breakdown of some of those fights.
Welcome aboard to the channel! One of our teammates is a huge Warrior fan so it's possible! Is there any specific scene from the series you'd like us to breakdown? Feel free to link it here or on our discord.
@@ScenicFights The one that comes to mind is Ah Sahm vs Bolo ruclips.net/video/tEOTWro4N18/видео.html
There's no grappling, but it's some awesome hatchet vs hatchet fighting!
I think the grappling in the show is pretty shallow so it won't be super impressive for that.
Elbows from reverse crucifix are also extremely effective
Been loving all the episodes so far. Would live to see you guys break down the operator v. the two assassins from the night comes for us. I can't really think of another film that has anyone using a kukri.
That scene between actress Julie Estelle and Hannah Al Rashid is brilliant.
9:00 - 9:03 is a perfect summary of every little kid's rock collecting phase.
lmao!
Do the captain america winter solider knife fight scene
You guys are so amazing. I wish Bollywood approached you to choreograph fights, we get real bullshit for fight scenes currently.
Haha Bollywood has an interesting style that's over-the-top but very entertaining. We are huge Bollywood fans and have visited India a few times in the past.
You should do a fight from "The night comes for us all" or "headshot"
you should breakdown the knife fight from netflix Extraction
Great break down of the Ava fight scene, just from watching the sequences of the movie fight scenes and Chad’s demonstrations 2:29 from the knee into the tailbone region into the arm frame to the ankle control is it possible from that position to literally reverse it to where you’re on top???
And to Chow sorry for the mispronunciation of your name, the rock vs knife scene I’m in total agreement, from that side step and redirect of the initial low line thrust position alone with rock in left hand hook to body, hook to the head followed by a straight right good night the confrontation is over...
Again great narrating, looking forward to the next Fight scene break down duces...
Hey man for the 2:29 part its hard to fully flip someone over and gain top just like that. However, if you can hip bump and then establish butterfly hooks, you can then do a sumi gaeshi(butterfly sweep)
Theres a youtube tutorial for it look up "gordon ryan sumi gaeshi"
I'm waiting for the day when more movie directors learn from the John Wick movies and actually have their actors train for what they will be acting.
As others have said here.. if you guys were to train the actor on how things really should be done.. this would be on a level comparable to John Wick. Some people don't care about accuracy, they just like a lot of flash and movements, with camera trickery.. but some of us get bored so fast with directors who are ignorant in the areas they are directing a movie about..
I feel if the actor/actress is being paid for a movie, they should also be paid for their accuracy, otherwise, they are not that good of an actor/actress.. they're giving a sub-par performance. :)
We 100% agree with this statement. Directors and Producers should take fight choreography serious and use it as a way to enhance character and plot development.
Subscribed! I love your content! Do the library scene from John Wick 3 please?
Thank you so much for the subscription! Make sure to hit that notification bell too. We have more John Wick on the way!
Hollywood is learning slowly but if they keep hiring experienced martial artists or at least people that have experience in Asian action cinema I'm sure at some point they will do a decent job.
Also I will keep recommending Chocolate for Muay Thai, Zen vs Thomas please
It's that time again boyos. NOTIFICATION SQUADDDD
Pil Chun with the Hype again!
🔥🔥🙏
