Hey Everyone, thanks for all the feedback. To clarify - we always aim to get two videos out of our film sessions with guests. We just decided to released the sword focused one first, which is Luke’s field of expertise. Jessica is awesome and you will see more of her with Luke in an upcoming episode of Stuntmen React!
Good to hear :)
Ah that makes more sense
I'm not an expert or anything but perhaps maybe it might be best next time to explain that it's a two-parter prior to it cuz honestly it seems like two guys on a couch ignoring the third host.
@@CorridorCrew ok 😬. this looks really bad though. you’ve never ignored/edited out a guest like this before.
Appreciate the clarification! 👍
Still waiting on the Stunt Animals React to Animal Stunts episode….
YES TO THIS
oooomg yes
We need this
14 minutes of animals growling at the screen and then an ad.
Dead dog from John Wick: So in this scene I was told to play dead and stay. Stay. Staaaaaay. And I stayed. I was a good dog. I got a treat!
I hope there is a second part, Jessica basically didn't say a thing
This exactly what I was thinking
Came here to say this
Yeah this is glaringly atypical for their guests, never seen somebody just set to the sideline line that. If I had to guess something happened to her footage that made it unusable, otherwise why bring her on in the first place?
@@rabid4908 or maybe she just could get a word in edgeways
I feel like it was just supposed to be Luke's episode, Jessica being there for sword fight scenes feels like a last minute change
The most impressive thing to me ever about the Achilles / Hector fight scene is Brad Pitts footwork. I spent years in a historical medieval combat group and his footwork is unreal
One thing I loved that they did in the ENTIRE movie - shields used as actual weapons with slams, parries and movement. Rather than just holding them static.
You've got a great big hunk of wood, metal and leather on your arm - you can absolutely use it to pummel the SHIT out of some one with.
@@martinlarsen7354 one would argue blunt force trauma was actually more useful than swords because of the full suits of armor.
@@bigassdummy46 Swords cutting armor is one of those things that media has trained us to just accept.
If one looks into it all of the specialist anti-armor weapons are either blunt weapons (maces and such) or pick style weapons (war hammer).
The one thing that I hated in that fight was at the end, Achilles stabs both his spear and his sword directly through Hector's metal breastplate. Like what's even the point of having armor if someone can just stab straight through it? That should never have worked.
@@Klaital1 I thought spear points were designed to pierce armour because it focused all its energy into a small area?
To everyone in the comment thread. They cut our video into 2 episodes. Jessica and I are very close friends and care and respect each other immensely. At no point did I interupt or cut off Jessica while she was speaking. Unfortunately the edit doesnt clearly show the banter between the three of us. I intended the whole episode to feature Jessica but we wanted to address some of the funny things from last sword episode. Next episode is about Jessica. Try to look at things in a positive light instead of negative. We had great time making the episode Jessica is an awesome talent and you guys will see tons of her in 2nd episode.
all good luke. internet is a pitchforky place. keyboard warriors in these comments prob red in the face for being wrong now lol
Cool to see you on the show! Loved your insight on the scenes.
Glad to hear it, thanks for the heads up! The Crew guys should probably toss a mention of a part 2 in the vid itself next time if the edit winds up this way. Not a huge deal in the end but could definitely head off some complaints before they manifest.
I'm sorry about the comments Luke. I can listen to you talk about sword fights for hours.. you have so much to share
You need to talk more about the technicality of the stunts & how they were filmed instead of giving your analysis of the character or subtext of a scene. Your industry knowledge is far more interesting.
Jessica almost didn't say a thing... Will there be another episode with the same guests, but with her talking? (although this still was very interesting :) )
i agree
Can't do the reaction with just two people
Ya I don't want to be rude but that guy spoke for so long in the beginning I was like, OK!
No
Bring the old man back
Fun Facts about that Joh Wick 3 scene: The location in Morocco where they shot it was overrun with hundreds of stray cats, so attempting to keep the dogs focused on the actors instead of chasing cats, and wrangling the cats so they didn't get in the shots, was a whole mess. The director said they probably spent more on cat food and cages than they did on human catering.
🤣
I just imagine the cats bringing their bros to check it out. "Dude, you gotta see... they keep making these stupid dogs do the same dumb things over and over and they're handing out food! There's even a place to nap where the dogs can't get us!" Cat dinner theater.
That was only good scene in this ridiculous movie ;)
Lol
Cats: "You aint shit"
Dog: "Im sorry whos this? I want to see my agent"
My only issue was the point where he was talking about how Inigo could have flicked his sword up. But in the story Inigo didn’t really want to kill the man in black. He wanted someone to duel with
He did caveat the comment with an understanding that it was a technical quibble.
@@two_owls I guess some planes are just bound to fly over peoples’ heads un-noticed.
Also ignoring the fact that Wesley's sword wasn't actually trapped and he also had a clear opening to Inigo's leg and belly.
Have any of you read the book? It means this very clear, neither wanted blood
Troy’s fight scene is just such a joy to watch. It’s intense, well choreographed and has no shaky cam in sight. You see everything. And as the guy on the left says, a sword fight should always give you context and make you care about the two people involved in it. It’s definitely one of the better sword fights of modern films.
Wow, I had always skipped Troy because I heard it wasn't that great of a film (along with the Alexander the Great movie that came out around the same time). But after seeing those clips I'll have to check it out some time.
@@siukong troy is a very good movie. Definitely check it out
Yep. I hate shaky camera work and chop editing for fight scenes. Jackie Chan has a lot to say on the subject. He regards it as lazy and quite frankly a bit of a cop out. It’s one of the main reasons he doesn’t particularly like making films in America….
@@siukong it's a great film. Little bit corny but overall great and surprisingly good action.
@@planetdisco4821 they do it to hide the fact that the actors can't do the stunts.
The thing about the swordfight in "The Princess Bride" is that, at a certain point, neither of them particularly want to kill the other one because they appreciate how good the other one is, and because apparently neither one has had a good swordfight in a while. A lot of the silliness in it is attributed to the fact that they're both enjoying the swordfight too much to actually want to kill the other one. Just another example of the power of good storytelling.
Also, you know, the whole honour and respect they've shown each other up till then, Iñigo sharing his story and even letting the MiB hold his sword for a while, Iñigo clearly doesn't care aboutb Vizzin's plot, doesn't like the job. Likewise MiB doesn't want to kill these guys, just get the Princess. So, they're both just going through the motions.
And the movie is basically a comedy anyway.
@@robertgotschall1246 I mean it's got fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... a little bit of something for everyone.
I can attest to that. I started fencing in high school and there have been 3-4 occasions where we were so evenly matched that "winning" became irrelevant and my opponent and I would just be fencing for 20 minutes or so - Just for the enjoyment of it...
This, this is what I was going to say. Even before Wesley reaches the top of the cliff to get to the fight, they're respectful, even almost friendly towards each other. It's more like play fighting, showing each other their capabilities. It's like the fight in Civil war. None of them really want to fight each other, the ones that know each other well anyway. Wanda is going for it more, because she's newer to the group, and other reasons, and Spider-man less, because he's just a well-meaning kid. When someone gets really hurt, everyone pauses. Wesley and Inigo aren't dueling to the death, they just want to accomplish their goal, Inigo by stopping Wesley from catching up, and Wesley wanting the opposite.
“If somebody rams a sword through your torso...you’re not gonna keep fighting”
*every anime ever starts sweating profusely*
Really loved part two.
IF WE HAD ONE.
😳
Yo what it’s still not out
Still nothing 🥺
Yeah what's up with that ? How long are they going to make us wait
@@robotempire The first video on sword fights came out in 2020. This is not a "part 2", just the 2nd video on the channel specifically on sword fights.
Me: About to go to sleep
Corridor Crew: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
Same thoughts I had
is there night in there
@@kishorkhatri7958 It's midnight here
2 am ha 😅
Hahaha
Yeah, Have Jessica back on and focus on letting her get a word in. This was a Luke reacts video for sure.
Oof
I'm assuming they recorded multiple videos with them and just split them to focus on one then the other.
@@McOwenWilson Okay
@@McOwenWilson A fool of a Took
Niko: "Jessica has a bunch if interesting stories as well"
Jessica: *gets 20 seconds to talk about how animals can be unpredictable *
she was just on here so they could mention suicide squad.
@@WoodBlock707 You might be onto something. Even the video description doesn't have a working link for Jessica! A shame if this will be the future.
Hopefully Corridor just decided to split this into two videos because they had very different skill sets. it would make sense to create one video around sword fighting and another video around more typical gun fighting scenes and animal stunts. Anyhow, if that's the case Corridor Crew definitely messed up how this looks like to viewers.
@@insoYT I wish there were 2 part videos. I always felt the videos are to short and would love for them to go over more.
@@WoodBlock707 Oh, yes please! One hour uncut versions would be so cool!
BUT she said it twice
Where is Part 2? We've had multiple Stuntmen React videos since, and it keeps not being with Jessica. Was the idea of a part 2 a lie to appease your audience? Is it actually coming? Why wasn't it a top priority after the backlash from Part 1? You owe her better than what you've given.
“I prefer blanks” and that’s it that’s all she said😂😂😂😂😂😂
We want part 2. Just for Jessica.
you forgot the "yeah" during the duelists
I was trying to remember if she actually said anything. Thanks. They need to bring her back.
#justiceforjessica
What about when she explained work with dogs?
Yeah she just seemed really bored the whole time
"You don't want to be stabbed; cut is a better option"
Me: is there a third option.
Yes, you run ! :)
@@TheClarky8 definitely a better option.

@@1Dreamking probably Sun Tsu:-)
Get a sniper rifle.
As much as I like Luke, he took too much of the show for Jessica to have a fair spot. They're both important people.
Edit: Jessica has her own part coming out, thats why she isn't really talking. It's the editing, not anyone's fault. Please stop thinking this statement is still valid. Corridor crew and the guests already answered on it.
They showed a bunch of scenes that fall under he expertise so I would expect him to talk. They didn't show anything Jessica could chime in on, she was just there to plug Black Adam
Weird how so many people had the same thought as she obviously sat there angrily with her arms crossed.
@@viagray8098 arms crossed and that side eye, not even looking at dude speaking, yeah I defo got the vibe she wasnt a fan of not being able to speak. But also the extrovert in me wonders why she didnt jus speak anyways if she wanted to
Agree
@Chill man SPAM
We never actually got to hear anything about how the stunt with the dogs were done. :(
As a HEMA practitioner, I must say that Luke’s knowledge of historical swordsmanship in addition to Hollywood stunt fighting is impressive. It’s rare to see someone “in the business” so informed and dedicated to historicity.
@Be nice SPAM
@Be nice SPAM
What i like about the troy fight is that surprisingly its believable. Chances are the characters are historical but when the illiad has a habit of mention ing how many cm from right or left nipple x struck y, you know there is plenty of exageration.
But in general, adorea has done a great service showing just how intense and complex, how enter training real fighting can be. Their knight of hope really put into persoective just how intense a plated knights presence was.
In a way id prefer people go for realism because its realism that allows even complete amateurs to make believable and intense fights.
That's because directors have their own vision and often don't listen to the experts.
There is an amusing story Lindybeige told. He knew an expert from a film.
Lindybeige: "I've heard you were the expert for that film Why didn't they listen to you?"
LOL her face when he said he’s been stabbed before. She didn’t get to same much but I hope she’s in more videos!
This whole comment section have lost their mind over literally nothing.
@@ToaGarrett "so why was she even there" - because corridor crew film more than one video at a time with guests.... have you never noticed the same guests wearing the same clothes on videos weeks apart? She will be the focus of the next video.
@@ToaGarrett For stunts. It's a two parter..
@@jessicamedina2800 idc, your comment doesn’t even make sense
EDIT: The video was split into two, this video was more focused on Luke's experiences and knowledge, and the next will be focused on Jessica's.
I was waiting to hear Jessica's thoughts about it all, but I feel like this episode was made for Luke specifically with Jessica just being the prop. Hope she gets another invite!
Yeah, I noticed she didn't talk much! I also want to see her come back!
I AGREE!! Would love an episode or a part two to this next week where she’s gets to talk more
She sat there lookin pissed most of the time
Same I was hoping to hear her talk more, but I guess Niko got more sword clips on this episode and Luke got in the zone of his experience, good episode I must say I was waiting for the princess bride sword fight for months. Please bring Jessica back and Luke
@@gavinps31 I'd look pissed too for wasting hours filming something, only to get like three sentences of dialogue.
The Hector vs Achilles fight is still one of the gold standards for Hollywood sword fights and fight-storytelling. Your expert nailed it. Their motivations are crystal clear, their personalities impact they physical way in which they move - in an overall "okay" movie, this is a great moment.
And I love how Achilles isn't made out to be totally OP and they didn't play up the demigod thing, they just made him a supreme athletic warrior. Simply better than everyone else, but not because of magic. Him against regular soldiers is like Michael Jordan vs street pickup players. And him vs Hector is like Michael Jordan against other NBA champions - Jordan is still better than all his contemporaries.
I loved hearing from Luke but it would’ve been nice to give a little bit more spotlight to Jessica because I feel like she is in soo many good projects that she must’ve a lot to share as well but she barely got chance.
Luke was so damn knowledgeable! Love the dude. But I really wish Jessica got more time to shine.
Yeah, He pretty much talked the entire episode.
@@spydergs07 I know. I sword fighting choreographer talking about swords in a video entirely about sword fighting choreography. How weird is that? We need more representation.
🙄
She does in the second part apparently
@Polite Gordon Ramsay Same reason you have women in any situation. Eye candy 😉
@@toh6261 I don't think you understand what the problem is. I wouldn't have any problem if there was a part 2 released within a week. They usually do record at least 2 episodes when there are guests - you can see that in stuntman/stuntmen reacts etc.
But for now it is only part 1. And we only know it is part 1, because they say so in the comments. No mention of it in the video. Only when they got backlash for inviting 2 guests that specialize in 2 different types of stunts, but only talked about 1 (they teased the other - I know) they said - "oh don't worry, we didn't invite her to be eye candy - she has her own episode". It's at least a screw up on the person who green-lit the final edit on YT. Because that looks like one of the stunt people were there just to say couple of words. Again - I would be okay with that if there was a part 2 soon. But it's been a month. And frankly I'm starting to doubt whether it will ever be released. Or exists.
Also you say: "I know. I sword fighting choreographer talking about swords in a video entirely about sword fighting choreography. How weird is that? We need more representation." - you do realize that if they wanted to make a video about sword fights - they don't need Jessica there? It looks like they were trying to do both at the same time and ended up with footage that someone decided to cut into 2 "specialties". And during editing and green-lighting the project no-one noticed it's freaking awkward. When they noticed backlash, they should have immediately released part 2. The question is whether they have the edit that looks fair to Jessica.
Jessica hardly got a word in. Even when Niko directed questions to her, Luke absolutely had to wade in and give his opinion and not allow her to talk. I hope she bothers to come back after that.
Exactly what I was gunna say! I felt so bad for her, seems like Luke took over the show quiiiite a bit :/
That's what I noticed too, it was a bit awkward, they needed to let he speak more.
Felt more along the lines of none of it being in her area of expertise tbh. She had no information to volunteer regarding the sword-figthing/medieval techniques. They need to bring her back for different segment of stuntment reacts which befits her skills more.
Thats how they Edited the video. I never spoke over or interupted Jessica. We are very good friends.
@@lukelafontaine2502 that was a weird edit that made you look like you interrupted her. Maybe they should have said at the start that is a 2 part video 😄. We'll wait for the next episode and watch them back to back 😁.
3 years later still no part 2, legend has it Luke is STILL talking and wont shut the hell up
In the Odyssey, Achilles is described as fighting "in a divine style." I bet the fight choreographer looked at that and went "Great. Very helpful." 😁
Agreed but it was in the Iliad.. Achilles the Man Killer. Darkness veiled their eyes…
If you watch entire fight you can observe that Achilles' fighting style is smooth and without errors which makes him look godlike, Hector's fighting style is more jerky and reflex based which makes him seem more human.
@@goro123451 If you listen to the DVD commentary, Achilles is a more formally schooled fighter, whereas Hector is more the practical, dirty, battlefield fighter.
You can actually see similar poses to Achilles' on grecian vases and the like. His position at the end of his long distance spear throw at the temple of apollo is a good example.

@@williamphillips24 oh nice, thanks
Judging from the fact that he has to bend the laws of physics in order to pull off two out of each three of his moves I'd say the choreographer said "So this guy is supposed to be a greek Jedi then..."
Great video, fantastic commentary. Small nitpick point though: In Inigo and Wesley fight, they didn't even try to kill each other, just "win" (swag points by flipping opponent sword from other one's hand). When Inigo fights the bad guy, the fight is very different.
I feel bad for jessica not having more clips to talk about
Yeah ngl that felt really awkward. Except for the John Wick segment it was all about sword combat where Lafontaine was the clear expert, so she didn't have anything to add. It should have been more even
I thinks that's not really it. Even the time she had her chance, she did not really try to elaborate and talk more like all the other stunt people in the almost 30 episodes. Maybe she's just not comfortable in format of the camera and just there to promote her movies.
CC had proven themselves to give equal amount of time to their guests. So in this I'm leaning towards Jessica is not giving much to be able to show in this episode.
@Chill man SPAM
@@banyakakal4299 exactly, I think she just came to promote the movie and that's it, when you come with these kinda intensions you get fucked automaticly
@@banyakakal4299 there are two parts, part one (which is this one) talking about sword fighting which is also the Jessica didn’t talk bc she is a stunt woman not a sword expert like the dude. Part two is gonna be about her talking about stunts that she did and stunts that don’t relate much with sword stuff
This video was uploaded July 31st. We haven't forgotten. Where is part 2?
It's apparently a website exclusive from what I've read
Jessica definitely needed her own episode, as should all new guests. Feel like she had so much to share, but Luke (unintentionally) monopolized the episode. Hope she comes back for her own episode.
Agreed
most like the next video, probably a scheduling thing have them both and shoot 2 episodes back to back but its one shoot.
i can’t believe it. this was shocking! she talked for less than 1 minute
@@onemorechris I think we aren't seeing everthing here and she probably has a little trouble expressing herself in English and that would explain why she talks less (even more on sword clips where she has less experience). Like one of her explanations for the John Wick movie was "She did a lot, like a lot of her stunts, because she train with Taren, for like all the gun stuff". Versus Luke who basically tells a story while explaining a concept
@@Turz i disagree but if correct, even more reason not to interrupt what she’s saying and also give her more time to explain things.
Jessica came to sit on the couch, give her more clips to talk!
"Achilles was honorable"
*proceeds to drag dead body behind his chariot*
That Bloodlust trumps the honor at times
And after having a secret conversation with King Priam, Achilles gives the Trojans back their prince. He showed Honor toward Hector when he announced to Priam that his son was the best that he’d fought and that he will see him again when he spoke to Hector’s body, going as far as to call him a brother.
Never commented on a CC video before, but got to say, Luke's breakdown of Troy was fantastic. Bring him back at some point please 🙏 Also can you review some LOST please. You could do the plane crash, the smoke monster, the polar bears, or some of the dodgy SFX.
also you:
*on this channel*

jk.
Jill Bearup has a full length breakdown of the Princess Bride sword fight on her excellent channel. As she points out it's all about storytelling, character building and tone rather than anything like historical accuracy.
COME ON CORRIDOR. You need to get Jessica in again, have her go over stunts, and films she's worked on lol
Idk if she willing after this. She was a NEW guest while Luke was a LONG TIME friend of theirs. N the whole time they basically focus on their friend instead of splitting up equally
They get repetitive and boring. It was good to hear something new about the sword fighting techniques.
@@NunYaBiz1313 agree but then they should have a different video for Jessica instead having her there be essentially seat filler. As for the Swordsmanship goes... I kinda disagree with not on technical or choreography but his whole "intent" or character background feeling thing... He seem like pulling that stuff out of his ass when he talking about that.
It is probably really tricky for Niko but still shouldve reeled that other guy in damn
She just commented and said that there are two parts this one is about Luke and the second one is about her
Poor Jessica still waiting on that Part 2 upload.
Better be a part two where Jessica is doing most of the talking
Yeah I agree. Not sure why she was there
Release the Jessica Cut!
@@dazzenseabiscuit1366 sex appeal, probably
It seemed more like they planned this sword fighting video and maybe her schedule had opened up for this week. I can only assume and would explain the john wick clip to give her something to talk about.
Possibilty she was there for a stunt react show, maybe her specialty is not swords and this is a swords episode.
Luke LaFontaine looks like a cool guy that knows a lot about swords and medieval stuff and this episode was full of videos like that and fewer videos where Jessica Medina could chime in, it was a bit awkward to watch for us and I bet it was the same for her. You guys should do an episode with just her and let her speak more about stunts and stuff. 🤷♂️
That's where it spits.
@Chill man SPAM
You could tell this was going to happen right from the intros. It’s such a shame because she was really cool and I wanted to hear more of what she had to say.
@@matthewjohntaylor69 Don't shout "spam" in chat, the bots don't care. Report.
Yeah, I agree. They also just skipped over the animal part, I was really excited for that.
"There's no drama in this" - immediately cuts to Kylo Ren 😂
Well...that's because it's true 😂
It was quite Literally the opposite
@@frenchtoast2573 eh imo there wasn't any emotional or connection shown in the fight. Not even a hint of remorse for killing the people who helped him in his training
@@frenchtoast2573 Keep drinking that flavor-aid
It has been 2 months since this was released and there still isn't part 2 with Jessica Medina's portion. Where is it?
Was probably just a quick PR save and they're just counting on people forgetting about it. If it had been intentional there would've been something in the video itself about it, and/or the description.
This actually really let me down. Corridor crew really dropped the ball with this interview especially after saying it was split into two parts? definitely a lie.
@@BlameItOnTheLagTTV It's on their site you fkn weirdos
@@stickyblicky11 they never once said it would be a website exclusive and frankly that’s disrespectful and stupid of them to do that. The guy gets a full video on RUclips for everyone to see while the girl gets a small segment on their paid website where not nearly as many people will see it. They clearly fucked up. And you defending their stupidity isn’t going to change anything. If the original first half was on RUclips for free the second one should be on RUclips with her part. You can stfu calling us weirdos when you’re the only one acting stupid
@@BlameItOnTheLagTTV exactly, cause no one wants to hear the woman "stuntman".
I could listen to Luke talking about sword fights for hours, always insightful and interesting.
Funny story. Princess Bride. The first attempt to show off what they learned and do the sword fight, it was done and over in seconds.
The director was like ... 'umm'. Like, they were doing almost-perfect stance and technique. Which makes for a very, very quick and very, very boring fight.
So, they HAD to flesh it out to have it be 'epic'.
Plus one has to remember that a) a lot of the movie is basically inside the imagination of Fred Savage's character whilst listening to his Grandfather reading an 'alternative' version of the book, and b) in regards to Wesley, his fighting style, and his weapon, he did learn and fight primarily as a pirate, plus Inigo was said to have practiced for 20 years in various sword forms (plus the whole left-handed bit was to make the fight more fun for Inigo), so in story, there are reasons for the inconsistencies that someone can at least bring up in regards to why it isn't historically accurate. Still got nothing for the hand lock into face damage bit from the end though
@@AJTaiyou I've got something for the hand lock. They're not trying to kill each other. It's debatable on if they were trying to kill each other from the very beginning. Neither of them were taking the fight entirely seriously, as evidenced by the whole left handed thing. They wanted to best the other, not kill or even injure. That's why he didn't go for the face hit, because the duel wasn't going to end with blood, but with a concession.
Well, I'm robbing all this information to pass off as my own. Cheers - I have 6 fingers on my left hand
@@dcarson89 Steal away. I suggest getting the book 'As You Wish'. There's an amazing story about Andre the Giant doing a pub crawl with Ewes.
@@ChristopherLaHaise ah deadly I will do, I found an original copy of princess bride a few years ago while serving overseas in Lebanon and am waiting to read it to my daughter when shes big enough to appreciate it.
All the sword fight information was great, but why was there a second guest? She just sat there for most of the video, didn't get to add much to the conversation. It would have been a bit less awkward if there were some segments she could chime in on.
Niko just sat there letting only one guest talk on and on and on, him not adding anything else other than "Oh wow fascinating"-s. Lousy host.
@@ivnislykun So all those pause of empty dialogue was by no means a good area where she should have chimed in? Isn’t she supposed to be quite the expert? Niko is a great host and really he’s fascinated by it all. Maybe he felt awkward that she wouldn’t chime in.
@@ivnislykun to be fair, they do end up cutting a lot out of these episodes, niko is probably egging their guests on more than we realize, it could be that jessica didn't really offer up a ton of stuff. Could also be that she has a second episode coming up at some point that's more focused on what she does.
Why? To shamelessly promote The Suicide Squad obviously
3:30 Hector is not fighting in place of his brother he is fighting for himself, Achilles did not come for Paris he came for Hector, he even comes before the city walls and yells for him.
That Troy fight is great. I loved that there was a real "signature" to how they both fought. Like hector was this efficient veteran and Achilles has this elegant dance like method. It's such a tense fight. It's so well done and if they had tried to make it "historically accurate" it would have definitely been poorer for it.
I agree. It was one of my favorite cinematic fight scenes in a sword and sandals movie ever
Are you saying it wasn't "historically accurate"? Other than a few characters, the myth side was left out completely.
The Swordfight for the Princess Bride is an exhibition sparring fight, they BOTH say neither one wants to kill the other. That's why Inigo Montoya doesn't press his advantage, and also why The Dread Pirate allows Inigo the opportunity to retrieve his blade.
I hope you guys do a second one where Jessica can actually be a part of the conversation
Word
My favourite thing in Troy was the treatment of Achilles’s fighting. Selective jumping (adding leg strength to arm strength via stored energy) so A’s striking power is extra formidable. The deliberate way he’s shown unleash a series of purposeful and deceptive moves is excellent. That kind of care to show the audience why he is who he is positively heartwarming!
Also the shield bash which is almost never seen in movie.
The shield that Achilles has, it's very nice. Especially when he uses the spear behind his back and the spear laying on the shields opening while his head is in cover behind the shield.
Can you have Jessica on again I’d like to hear stories from films she has been in to she couldn’t get a word in edgeways
Word for word, what I was going to ask. Fella didn't stop for a breath.
@@AlgorhythmKid I’m guessing it’s just the editing. No way my man talked the entire time while she was chilling on the chair saying nothing.
@@mike353 That’s even worse than if he wouldn’t stop talking. That would mean he wouldn’t shut up, but when Jessica did speak about clips they edited it out completely.
@@McOwenWilson I’d love some explanation behind why you’re being a dick. I’m genuinely curious about what makes Kieran a dork, or why their comment should get deleted.
@@McOwenWilson really, please explain what makes me a dork for that comment and why you have a problem with it
damn, jessica got to say like 4 sentences lmao
This actually bothered me a lot. Maybe they aren't the most talkative or they weren't given a chance to pitch in properly, but I would have loved to hear their opinions more on the subjects. Sometimes you just gotta give them the floor and the time to talk to make sure everyone is heard.
Yeah. she got mansplained big time
@@BennyMack plz elaborate as sword play isnt her specialty plz i would like to here how she was mansplained? i agree they should have a part 2 of her talking about her specialty
Yes,it was an awkward episode, maybe they should do another one with just her. I don undestand how they did not see this at the final edit of the video before publishing it.
@@BennyMack Lol how the fuck is this mansplaining? The only problem here is that Corridor chose the wrong video choice for her since the other guy is the expert on swordfighting while she is a general stuntwoman.
Corridor should have done it as fighting in general instead of just swords.
Guys…it’s 12 in the morning 😕😏☺️🍿
Not for me buddy😜💖💖
3 a.m here 🥴
2 am gang
8.27 am as I type this but this is a good thing! Usually have to wait like 5pm for the upload.
12 noon here
So glad the second part with Jessica came out! Right guys!
Right guys?
😭😭😭😭😭😭
😅😅😅😅
Corridor just silently waiting for the generation that still remembers to die out. :D
I have not forgotten
The A.I. Art controversy reminded me.
the princess bride cliff top sword fight regardless of other technical issues is still (for me) one of the best and most fun movie sword fights I've ever watched.
So much fun!
Yup, I think everyone loved the sword fight explanation from Luke but Jess didn't say much. She'll have to come back and get into it a little more so we can hear her perspective. No point just sitting there without jumping in at all.
I’d like to hear more on her stories and opinions. The clips were probably too “swordy” and he couldnt help himsef to give his point of view xD but dang, we just met her, wanna know moar
She’s been on previous episodes, check them out if you wanna hear her stories. In this case she didn’t have much to input. Not a big deal. She’s a person like you and me and sometimes she doesn’t have anything to say. NBD
@@zerolelouch22 wait what? Been follwoing this channel for years. How could I have missed it? Dang. Ok i’ll find them. I’m a completionist! Ty
@@rertus I should delete that comment! This is her first time! You were right. Apparently all women look the same to me (?) I’m dumb
@@McOwenWilson so here I was, having a good day, experiencing no internet ragers at all for once in a channel i love but suddenly, you happened. White knight, male feminist fail…you just said that assuming a future scenario will happen and I will say nothing, because you know me. Of course. What’s happening here is:
1- I am not entitled to have my opinion, unless I think like you.
2- Your arrogance only let’s you judge others but yourself, and you don’t see how you’re being a dick to me right now, you actually think you’re right.
3- You’re messing with the wrong guy. Go save the world somewhere else, where they need you. Cuz I defo don’t need your bs. Good bye, McOwen, if that’s ur real name.
No. I dont like arguing, but I aint gonna stand there being bullied for free at my expense.
Just wait for the next episode then.
Anyone's still waiting for the second part with Jessica? Did they forget about it?
I wonder where that episode is every time I watch another one of their episodes.
Jessica commented above that they should be releasing it early 2022. Corridor was very busy. They didn't forget about her episode cut.
Thanks for the update! I was wondering this today. Just seemed like a long time to delay her.
@@dmc01 Early 2022? Sounds like it was a lame PR save after all, and they are rescheduling for a new video to be shot.
@@dmc01 Too busy to upload a second part of this video? There have been so many parts of so many videos! There's even a new part of a new video with this guy again! 👀
There’s a line in the first training fight of Dragon Heart: “Only ever expose your back to a corpse.” Curious how a stunt choreographer would respond to that, and the fight.
Jessica's expertise was not covered here well. A lot more should have been included.
maybe she didnt have much to add idk not hating or anything but im sure theres a reason maybe she needed to leave at some point and you dont know that in the edit of the vid idk food for thought id like to see an episode with just her. I want to know about Black Adam
How long do you want the video to be?
Do you know what she said that was cut out? Editors have to work with whatever video is shot and sometime you have people who don't say anything interesting or keep things super short anwsers.
@@SSingh-nr8qz They cut out enough to make a second video.
His pace of explaining is so good..... it's like when you get a good teacher who is experienced, knowledgeable and explains big concepts in a soothing manner which goes into your mind at once....
But she didn't get to speak a lot....
Invite her some other time....
realese the jessica cut
😭😭😭😭
😅😅
"If you just do a bunch of random sword fight" - shows Rise of Skywalker scene
It was the perfect choice too. A fight with the guys he's trained with his whole life, who he convinced to turn to the Dark Side with him, should have been a huge story beat. Instead these guys who have been mentioned for 3 movies get wiped out before we even learn how to tell them apart.
*looks at upload time*
Stuntmen react without getting any sleep.
Was more hyped about what Jessica had to tell...Will there be a second part just with her? And the format 2 corridor crews and 1 guest seems to work better imo. Still love the series.
The 2 guest method can work if it's two people with the same expertise like in other stuntmen react
@@markrobless6245 or 2 people who have worked together on the same stuff. Luke and Jessica seem to have nothing in common, not sure why they were on an episode together.
one exception to this is I really want to see Amy and Lauren on at once and play off each other (I don't think that's happened yet but I'll make sure when I'm done here
At this point i am co ci ced that people have a sick o session with Skin color to the poi t that if someone doesnt speak, who is of that o session, you guys literally flood the comments section to complain thst your privy wasnt satisfied.
What is wrong with you people.
@@boguslav9502 what the fuck are you even saying? That first "sentence" is almost completely unintelligible. People complaining that Jessica hardly got to say anything has little to do with her being a woman or person of color. People are complaining because why even have a guest on if they're not going to contribute to the video. If this video had been nothing but clips that Jessica was reacting to and Luke only got out a sentence or two, people would also be complaining about that. If they're going to have 2 guests, they should have clips that both guests can react to
Where’s the part 2 to this??
VFX ARTISTS REACT TO : The Percy Jackson films, there’s some great and also not so great cgi in that film, it would be so much fun and satisfying to see you guys break, at least The Lightning Thief, down!!
No Obi-Wan vs Anakin?
Impossible, maybe the archives are incomplete.
Yeah they kinda said something about it but the guy just threw shade on the entire fight
@@Cedrinate He didn't really throw shade on all of them, as far as I could tell. They showed a couple of scenes when he was talking about flourishes and useless spins. I could be wrong, though.
@@Red-zh7vq but what he said pertained to realistic sword fights, he did say in fantasy there is leeway, light Sabres and jedi aren't real fyi, as much as we wish they were. The clip was shown just as an example I think, not meant to be criticized
Definitely agreeing with all the comments, have Jessica back covering more of her expertise. I would love to learn her perspective on stunt work!
What makes you so interested in her perspective if she said absolutely nothing? Could it be something else perhaps.
@@UpYours101 cause they're curious about what she has to say and also she's attractive
@@spike5499 really just the ladder part of your statement. Let's be honest.
@@UpYours101 Lol get fucking wrecked she's in another episode. It may surprise you but people can have actual interests.
@@SwordTune you can wreck dis nuts brah
Still waiting for the other episode with Jessica.
👀👀👀👀
Jessica looks like she's cosplaying as Shego from Kim Possible
Jessica is bae 🥵
"You don't see people doing 360 pirouettes with the gun."
I wonder if he's ever seen Equilibrium.
Well, that wouldn't be John Wick, would it? That quote is him specifically addressing the gun kata in the John Wick series, not Equilibrium.
@@Dargonhuman ok but I wonder if he’s ever seen equilibrium
But I don't get how people flash the star wars prequel choreography when they talk about twirls and spins but forget to mention the storied fight is between two or more precognitive beings. But I can see the argument when it's judged at face value.
@Victor Nieves the sith are ninjas the Jedi would probably fall more under samurai maybe....most were not that stealthy... probably why order 66 worked so well. Lol
@@justindortch4982 lolz
Seems like in this case bringing on two people with different expertises wasn't the best move. Stunt woman vs sword fighting coordinator kinda felt like a one or the other kinda one man show.
It's two parts this was his part
By not releasing part 2 with Jessica you've let yourselves down and her... Mostly her though. The massive respect I had for CC has been diminished...
Dude and it's been a year
😔😔
Just my opinion but it wouldve been nice to hear more from Jessica cause the video seemed to kind of lean towards one guest over the other because most scenes were swordfights.
i wanted to hear more from Jessica tbh she only got one sentence in?
Literally. Hope she gets more coverage in another video, would to hear her expertise.
Wasn't it obvious she would have an episode for her?. I mean...
@@TheMadaFraka no its not obvious... Sometimes they do two videos for each person they have on. But then that just means the next video should be only her speaking... Plus its rude to have someone come out and speak one sentence and then sit there for a whole video and dont show them saying anything
@@berzerkwolfgangson5209 How do you know that she has been there for an hour without saying anything?, do you work for them too?. Maybe they were shoting for one hour and they showed one video to each (swords and figths) and you are just watching the edited part of just the swords fights... Will you come at me with the same argument?. Do you know what a fallacy is?. Do you know what an editing is?. You are just talking about fiction of an edited video, mate.
Also, they never been rude to a guest, so YES, it was fucking obvious that there was an another video.
The only thing that I can agree with you is, yes, it was rude the way that they edited the video, same for the stuntwomen faces while the whiteman was talking (but hey, it's just maybe my apreciation, and maybe I'm just doing a fallacy here, like YOU did before, so excuse me then).
Now, being honest, go try to be angry to something productive and not to a nice group of people cos of a bad video edit.
They clarified its going to be in a second video, i love the video and corridor i was just accustomed to the episodes that are filled up equally with both guests, i personally just like the format and am not really thinking about anything deeper than that.
I hope they bring Jessica back, I wanna hear her stories and thoughts. They should've brought two people from the studio instead, and had Jessica on the next one, seeing how this was a sword special.
@@McOwenWilson I'm sorry, I forgot we're not allowed to have opinions anymore.
This was literally 2 months ago and we're still waiting for Jessica's part 😑
..... Maybe fall 2022 🤷🏻
7 months now
@@DreamDogTV Sheeeeesh
I just watched this for the first time and immediately searched for Jessica's part because to my eyes she looked seriously pissed off by the end of this video, like she's thinking "This guy won't let me get a word in, WTF am I even doing here?". Still no part 2. Feels like we've been lied to, and it's starting to make me concerned about the culture at Corridor Crew.
There’s been 2 stuntwoman on the show before. I’m not sure if you’re aware. Martin Luther King said judge people by the content of their character not the colour of their skin. Don’t race bait, it’s not classy.
Love the series, but Luke kept droning on and on. Maybe I’m wrong, but I was interested in Jess and she didn’t say a thing lol. Other than that, keep up the work guys!
Around the five minute mark of his first rant I said aloud, OK! I get it! Swords are sharp. He's cool don't get me wrong but this episode had a bad edit or just nothing for the other guest to comment on.
To be honest dude explained very well the sword fights. They should have just made a sword episode and then a stunt episode with the girl.
Sword fighting expert explains sword fight scenes. They didn't show anything else basically. Not Luke's fault
@@MuttleyGames ya he's great but he also adds a lot of superfluous language or details that does feel droning
I thought what he had to say was really interesting and entertaining.
Love that the comments are standing up for Jessica. All I could focus on was her lack of material, they kinda just had her to fill the sofa?
I thought the same! 9/10 comments is about Jessica being left out!
She just needed to promote a movie. But even then I always like having Jessica on the show
@@zerolelouch22 she was on b4? They literally introduce Luke as a long time friend while Jessica was a new face to the channel O. O
Luke's a pleasure to listen to, apart from his expertise he also has a fantastic energy as an entertainer and story-teller. But please bring back Jessica asap, next to Luke she didn't get a word in edge-wise and I would like to know more about what her deal is.
They r literally in a different field of work. Idk why they even have 2 guest come in like this
Funny, I found Luke tiresome and supercilious.
@@ourkeving You don't understand the word funny.
By ASAP do you mean in the exact same recording session?
So did you just make up the bit about a part 2 with Jessica? Still waiting.
😅 I just thinking the same thing
Bring back Jessica guys. I feel bad for her just sitting there listening most of the time to the two. Also, this episode is kinda have a serious vibe compared to the other ones.
It should, sword fighting is serious business.
The sword fighting guy is always like that. Getting a steel blade forced into your body is serious though so I get it lol
It's just it was new to me to see this kinds of sword fights in films which there are professionalism, tension, pressure and thrill between the swordsmen.
3:25 Hector actually was motivated to save his own life, as Achilles wanted revenge for Hector killing his cousin. Achilles “blood lust” was completely directed towards Hector.
I love that despite the endless technical issues with The Princess Bride's iconic sword fight, they stress that it's a particular callback to a cinematic style and great within that cinematic style even if it is absurd and not "realistic."
7 months later and still no part 2, so looks like yall lied
1yr Later
In the TV show "The Expanse; season 5, episode 5 "Down and Out"; at 36:30; there is a crazy suplex throw that went down several stories, stuntwise, it looks crazy. Would love to see this on the next Stuntmen React!
Luke is the most interesting guest you've ever had. Jessica is the most mysterious.
Luke wouldn't shut up.
For another episode about sword fights you guys should watch the most famous sword fight from The Deluge, it's an old polish movie from 1974 that was nominated for an Oscar and almost everyone who knows a thing or two about sword duels praises this film for its minuteness
Best sword fight ever. In an interview one of the actors told that he accidentaly hit the other with the blade on the head and that the entire crew held their breath but in the end it was not serious.
I'm pretty I've asked for this months ago. We just gotta keep pushing.
@@tobias064 damn right
Almost the one year anniversary of not getting part 2
Almost?
Do the movie "13 Assassin's". The 20 minute samurai battle at the end is fantastic.
Then there's the movie "By The Sword" involving fencing with the climax being the student vs the master.
Crazy Samurai Musashi has a 70+ minute one take sword/katana fight. Still waiting for them to react to that...
Still waiting for part 2 of this vid....no real excuses right now...
Same. It seems like it was just a lie at this point though. Disappointing, especially because it was so obviously damage control after backlash. Nothing in description or the video suggested a part two. Seems cc have already moved on with the series and are hoping people will just forget.
I've been unsubscribed for ages because of... uh... "Part 2-gate" and haven't watched a Corridor thing in forever, but I spontaneously remember this malarky and check back in every, like, four months to see if there's been any updates. :D Hello in August 2023! Two years later! Still no Jessica-centric Part 2! How wweeeeiiirrrd!
One of the coolest things I love about this channel is the exposure you give to the people behind making these movies so awesome with stunts and effects side that are not the big names that stick out in bold in the credits but the smaller names who make the fight scenes we love or the effects that blow us away.
Basically could of had one of the crew in Jessica’s place. I’m sure by the amount of comments. She’d be invited back for a chance to speak and give expertise. That was a bit one sided.
@Mot Kaou Dude quit spamming this link. Already reported about 10 of your posts.
If I was her and ignored like that I wouldn't even want to come back.
@@anthonyitaliano7316 true. Though still wasn’t much anyone could do. Guy was just like, “if you look at the guy right there.” I’ve been around people like that it is annoying. Do wish her luck, if there’s a next time.
Its the edit. The episode is cut in 2 parts. Jessica is all the 2nd episode.
@@lukelafontaine2502 in most cases. It’s balanced. This obviously rubbed people the wrong way. I’ve seen quite a few episodes. It’s not usually a situation of one is talking and the other sat there. Unless they filmed it and went, god he’s talkative.
I love how even when it was brought up the fight scene from The Princess Bride was not accurate, that they still celebrated the hard work that went into crafting it.
So hear me out: The scene in Princess Bride is not a swordfight, it's a conversation. The words are being exchanged through actions instead of verbally. These two people are just getting to know each other, and at no point are you actually worried one of them is going to get hurt, because neither is really interested in hurting the other. Instead they learn about each other, and exit the scene as friends (even if one is slightly knocked out). For the audience, it also functions as a character introduction, as you haven't really come to learn much about either of these two up until this point. This is why the fact that the swordfighting itself is nonsensical is completely ok, because there's no actual fight happening in the first place. The scene is an absolute masterstroke
Absolutely! But I do agree with Luke that some of the moves there are pure nonsense and don't really make sense even in a "conversation" capacity
Jill Bearup has a great breakdown ruclips.net/video/j0rkUbrPo3k/видео.html
I didn't realise they were on a bridge! :) :) :)
@@anfski2000 Oh yeah, the Princess Bridge. It's the movie where they make a bridge out of princesses
Corridor is a corporate shell of what it once was. We will never get that part 2. They’ll still cut out guests. And they’ll still do stupid shit with AI.
Yeah.I mean I wouldn't know about lately, I stopped watching because of this bullshit. But yeah, based on this situation, Corridor appear to view their audience as this large completely interchangeable mass that shifts constantly, and the incessant 'like and subscribe' feels less like an invitation to you as a viewer to engage with their content, and more like they're mechanically herding sheep in the hopes they'll generate some views.
There was always a rehearsed artifice to their videos but this really felt like being a part of that sort of calculated manoeuvering in a gross way, and it's kinda difficult to go back to thinking any of these people are charming. 🤷♂️
