Knife Expert Breaks Down The Hunted Sayoc Kali Knife Scene with Tommy Lee Jones | Scenic Fights

- Опубликовано: 8 окт 2024
- Pekiti Tirsia Kali Instructor Logan Lo breaks down the final showdown between Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro's The Hunted (2003) in this episode of Scenic Fights' Fight Scene Breakdown.
What makes this scene memorable among fans are the following two reasons:
1) The martial art L.T. Bonham (Tommy Lee Jones) teaches Aaron Hallam (Benicio Del Toro), and which they employ against each other, is called Sayoc Kali. It is a variation of Eskrima, the Filipino martial arts system dedicated to weapons. Sayoc Kali deals exclusively with knives in extremely close-quarter combat.
2) Tommy Lee Jones' character is based on the real life tracker and survival expert Tom Brown Jr. who was also a technical advisor on the movie. The knife used by Benicio Del Toro throughout most of the movie, is a Beck Wilderness Survival Knife, designed by Tom Brown, Jr. and constructed by David Beck

There is a lot of things that happen in a Hollywood fight scene which effects the on screen action. First having to battle the stuntmen and what they want. Having to train actors with no MA background, dealing with directors who want a certain time frame to the fight and the story to be propelled and serviced through the fight. Balancing wardrobe, and script continuity, makeup and props. And then overall safety of lead actors. Well, you don’t always get to do everything you want or the way realities would dictate. It’s a process of figuring how to get as much good stuff into a big budget fight scene as possible with all those factors. We wanted to represent FMA as well as possible under those conditions.
Whoa, it's an honor to "meet" you. For sure - I figured as much. If anyone knows knives, it's Sayoc people. Are you in the tri-state area? We've always tossed the idea around of interviews, especially those that have worked both the actual martial arts side and the Hollywood production side.
It's a privilege to have the original choreographer of The Hunted (2003) give their insight on this scene. We would love to collaborate in the future.
@@logan607 I’m in North East PA. When we worked on The Hunted there had not been a serious knife engagement with such a long time frame. As you guys know, knife on knife will not last so long in reality. This was the main hurdle, how to make a knife on knife fight that last over 10-16 beats, or 2-4 seconds.
@@thomaskier534 I mentioned that in the Karambit duel in The Man From Nowhere breakdown; you could tell that the melee scene was hyper-realistic but for the duel, there had to these logical gaps just so the duel didn't last
Would love to see Tuhon Kier add his commentary to this...as someone that dabbled in Sayoc Kali, this was the movie that made me search out FMA
"I'd start throwing garbage cans at people." That reminds me of a friend of mine. He was working at a strip club in Detroit and was taking the trash out to the dumpster in the alley behind the club at the end of the night when two guys tried to rob him, one armed with a knife the other had no weapon in hand. He was standing with the dumpster at his back, reached in, grabbed the first thing he got his hands on and threw it in the face of the guy with the knife. It turned out to be a stray cat. A stray cat that was now enraged at having been thrown in someone's face. While that guy screamed in pain and confusion as the cat bit and clawed his face the other one just turned and ran. My friend quickly dove back into the club, locked the door behind him and started yelling for the off-duty cop that worked security.
Logan had a good laugh. Thanks for sharing that story. No rules in a street fight, use anything, even a stray cat.
Nothing more scary than an angry garbage cat.
Wtf 🤣🤣🤣
That was a hilarious story lmfao! A little kat fu as it were.
I'm using this in the etac retelling, as frisk does get into a lot of street brawls, and yes, I am here to get research for knife fighting, also need to do fist, staff, shortstaff, and spear research as well as how to fight with a notebook, and trident fights, damn I have a lot to research... Stay determined
As someone who does both MMA and kali/escrima knife fighting, I really appreciate watching both of these guys give the perspective from their different arts.
You've chosen wisely.
Same here man. Best of both worlds.
"If you are gonna be in a knife fight. . . RUN"
Best part of the video.
100% we don't agree with getting into a knife fight. Always avoid if possible. Logan talks about that too in our Donnie Yen vs Wu Jing breakdown: ruclips.net/video/wYJ8KaGBABU/видео.html
"Rule#1 in street-fight, Don't be stupid if you have a chance, runaway ! Not everyone is Bruce Lee"_Jackie Chan😤
If I'am Going To Be In A Knife Fight, Then I'am Pulling A Gun, Then It's John Wick Time...
@@lumapas "Not everyone is Bruce Lee"
I'm pretty sure most people already know that. I don't think they need a reminder.
The best way to avoid a knife fight, is to not put yourself in one, in my opinion.
I hope you all have a good day.
In defense of the first strike (to the back of the hand), I think it was a warning sort of "last chance to leave me alone" from Del Toro's character. It goes along with the story, as Jones' character was his mentor and the only person he ever trusted. Brilliant movie. This last scene was a bit more fantastical than necessary, but their first confrontation earlier on on the movie was much ore raw and realistic - in my humble opinion
We're pretty sure you might be right. Narratively, it makes sense for Benicio del Toro's character to give TLJ character a warning given their history. Great insight.
It wasn't a warning he didn't slash him on the inside of the arm because he wanted LT to kill him that's why he didn't stab him he at least had for opportunities to stab him but didn't.
@@ikapatino3214 I am not sure what you are talking about? It seems you are saying exactly what I am saying? He slashed the back of his hand instead of doing any other damage, then stopped and tried to let LT walk away. Peter Griffiths - who wrote the screeplay - said it was like a dry bit from a snake, warning you to stop before things g south
It would be hard to meet your instructor and have to defeat the one that introduced you to your art. Del Toro's character has obviously gone over the edge, but there would be a touch of defiance, and some showing off. I think if you wanted a flashy move that wasn't something your instructor would approve of, just to show him your superiority, this would be one to pull. James Earl Jones' voice comes to mind quickly- "I am the master now." A younger man killing the deference he would normally show an elder and a teacher. Not sure if they had all this psychology in mind or it just happened.
agree. i just want to add. The way i understand this movie they dont really want to kill themselves. They care for each other. It was just " hey stop this, be reasoneble" that escalated. So not really good example of efficient knife fight.
And in the 5 of 8 breakdown, when Jones hiting del Toro's arm. His target was deep wound he inflicted earlier. That must hurt like hell.
"This is a family show" made me laugh so hard, he said it in basically the bloodiest possible part.
Everyone's family is different.
@@logan607 family arguments but with knives
👌👍😹😹😹
I requested this a while back, and I have been waiting on it. Thanks for delivering boys. My favourite realistic knife fighting movie.
Thank you for the request! This is a great scene that does a good job showing Sayoc Kali
@@ScenicFights nice comment
As someone who was once attacked with knife its very interesting seeing your channel. And btw my defense was running as fast as possible and than bit faster 😂
Cool scene breakdown
Running is the best defense. You're still here so it worked!
That's your best strategy. Glad to see you're ok.
Best way to avoid being hit/cut/shot, don't be there.
Haul ass...if that doesn't work. Haul 2x ass.
You win 100% of the fights you avoid
The Hunted movie is so underrated. I think the story in this movie is not bad. It show the effect of P.T.S.D. from the soldier passed the war and the performance of Benicio Del Tero in this film is great. His eye contact looks scared for something.
The knife fight scenes in this film are great looks realistic.
Agreed
"These are two hurt people"
Truer words have never been spoken. As well trained as these guys are, all of those knife slashes and stabs are going to catch up to you, especially when fighting on such uneven slippery terrain.
And yeah, they are definitely feeling some emotional pain: Del Toro is suffering from PTSD to such a degree that he can't get out of that combat mindset. Jones is fighting a former student that he can't seem to reach and he has been thrust into this battle to the death and he admitted earlier in the film that he had never killed anyone before. So, I can only imagine what he might be going through emotionally.
The way I figure it, their physical fatigue combined with their mental stress could account for some of the "mistakes" they make (if you want a story-based explanation). Plus of course, there are the real reasons, such as trying to make a knife fight last so much longer than it would in real life, among other production challenges.
I just commented wondering why this wasn't done yet but then after a specific search found this. You guys are great.... Love it
Glad you enjoyed it! Yes I did respond to your other comment but it was for others to see who may ask the same question :) I hope you subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
"This is a family show"
*gets skewered through the chest*
lmao! But seriously, it is a family show! (or at least we try to be).
@@ScenicFights every family loves a good ol knife fight
Love the film. Very underrated gem. It hits all the right beats. Thank you for this breakdown.
I loved this movie when it came out. Lots of action movies are guns and explosives. I was really impressed to see two well known actors portraying knife fighting specialists in a convincing way. It’s been years since I watched it last. Great fight scene break down.
Totally agree. It's also a great showcase on how a good choreographed fight scene can be great character development.
Some of the shit moves from del toro were to let his “ father” live. Del Toro wanted his “ father “ to kill him. To validate and to end his existence. At least that’s the way I read the movie’s narrative. A father facing the monster he created. A country trying to reconcile ptsd.
Pretty much spot on
This thing goes so deep at so many levels, you only dont see if you dont look .
I must say that this wasn’t my favorite scene you broke down but it was by far both the most educational and entertaining episode of Scenic Fights I’ve ever watched.
Good job, folks.
Glad you enjoyed it Felipe! What was our favorite scene?
Logan: This is family show
Chad: you’re the one attacking me with a knife for entertainment 😂
Everyone's family is different.
Wow that was a great break down. This has long been one of my favorite lesser known or personal “cult classic” movies. Seeing the scene broken down by you was so cool. As was reading the comments from the stunt choreographer! Would love a follow up
It was an honor to have Thomas Kier comment on our video, and we're happy to hear you enjoyed our fight scene breakdown! Please let us know if there are any other fight scenes you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Thanks everyone for watching! For those new to the channel, here is our Under Siege breakdown that inspired this video: ruclips.net/video/aK-Ixma0OuM/видео.html
Under Siege (1992) stars both Steven Seagal and Tommy Lee Jones.
Which fight scene would you like us to breakdown next?
And of course, if you haven't yet, please subscribe and share this video with your friends!
That new movie extraction has a knife fight, also using the karambit. That would be cool to see you guys breakdown
Captain America vs Winter Solider!
nice video Scenic Fights
Wick 3 ⚔️
Please cover Mission Impossible Fallout bathroom fight scene
I love this damn movie, it's brilliant and really underrated. And a lot of the moves they did I'm sure were done cause it looks "flashy" and cool for the camera. Wish you guy's would have broke down their first encounter and the flashback training scene. I think it's awesome you guy's used dummy knives modeled after ones in the scene that little touch awesome.
We do our best to try and get dummy weapons inspired by the ones used in films! I'm glad you noticed it.
One of my favorite knife fight scenes is the bathhouse scene in Eastern Promises with Viggo Mortensen
So intense! Not sure if that one is RUclips appropriate, they might have to take that one over to pornhub lol.
Hope they blur it out and address it.
Mine too
Is it cuz there's naked men?
I agree by the way great comment
I suggested this breakdown in the comment section of one your videos and here we are, awesome channel!
Thank goodness for our viewers - thanks!
Still begging for the kitchen knife fight scene breakdown from the raid 2. Pls scenic fights
Seconded.
Yes that'll be the best one
I third this request.
The Raid movies are the most bloodthirsty movies ever! It was just brutal and violent
The 2 karambits that lock blades in the kitchen when they both strike. 2 silat masters. We knew that was a hollywood directors idea
I am sure I was among many that requested this on another video. Brilliant work as always. Worth the wait.
Glad you enjoyed it! We have more videos right around the corner so stay tuned!
Gotta say you guys do some of the best breakdowns on the internet. Can't wait for more!
Fell in love with this movie in first being introduced to it by my wife (yep). The technical aspects have always looked amazing I felt.
I’ve wanted to see this movie for 18 years and couldn’t remember the name of it until I came across this channel. Looks awesome
Let us know what you think of The Hunted!
Great breakdown, I loved this movie when it came out and it still holds up today. Great job.
Anyone reading this now should give The Hunted (2003) a try now. Fun film with both Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro.
I was waiting for this video! I love that movie. Thank you so much for breaking through that scene!
FINALLY!!! I actually checked earlier this morning to see if you had made any other videos and now I’m pleasantly surprised
Glad we can deliver a new episode to you! We read your comment on Jason Bourne, and all we can say is we will have something for you soon :)
@@ScenicFights yo, that’s dope, much love from the UK
I love these breakdowns
Many thanks
Oooosss!
Just having you two sitting there and watch ANY movie would be entertaining. Your chemistry is the best.
Keep it coming ! Great job !! 💯💯💯
Thank you so much for support. Any video you say? Check out our breakdown of Ava: ruclips.net/video/OIM9lFRQitU/видео.html Let us know what you think and what fight scene you'd like us to breakdown next.
Chad has pictures of me I don't want out in the world so I humor him.
This is one of the most underrated movies ever. It introduced me to the the world of knife fighting & the famed Tracker knife. Always been a gun nut, but this movie started me on my journey into the vast world of knives
Glad to hear that this movie inspired you too! It's certainly did popularize knife fighting and of course, Tom Brown's famous Tracker knife.
It's an addiction I'm familiar with.
@@ScenicFights immediately after watching this movie I looked up what kind of knife was used (Tom Brown Tracker) and have wanted one since. As a LEO I took several edged weapon defense classes, but feel I only scratched the surface of knife fighting and defense. Since being disabled in the line of duty, it’s really hard to explore this world, especially from a wheelchair
😅 “Chad, this is a family show!!!!”
😂👏🏾😂😂😂😂😂
I found this completely by accident and am so happy i did. Love it so much so interesting and fun to watch
Glad that you found us! Check out our other videos and let us know if there are any other fight scenes you would like to see us breakdown next!
That's essentially the sentiment of every girlfriend I've ever had.
Really enjoyed this. As someone who stepped away from self defence as a priority almost 20 years ago, and want to get back into boxing, grappling and street defence, mainly to train my 5yr old girl and 3yr old boy, I found this inspiring. Will be back into lessons as soon as pandemic permits. Cheers.
100% go for it. We're glad to read this video inspired you to take on training again. It's never too late.
I have a toddler as well, so I totally understand.
Another splendid episode ! Thanks guys, would love to see your breakdown of some of Re: Born’s fight scenes, some great knife fighting there !
I've been doing Kali since 2008. The techniques we see in this movie are pretty much what we teach, but this fight could have ended much quicker. You can stop an oncoming slash with a slash to the opponent's wrist. It's called "defanging" the snake. After that, there's not much he can do. His ability to continue the fight is reduced by 50%.
In real life, you should avoid getting into a knife fight no matter how good you think you are at it.
You WILL get cut, and that's a fact.
If I remember right, the Sayoc team on this movie talked about that. Certainly Tommy Lee did in an extra feature or interview. Basically, at high levels, as you say, fights are over in seconds. So they changed some things on purpose for the movie.
What is kali?
@@anuragneelam8527
It's a Filipino martial art.
@@professormoriarty6875 oh sick, does it mean anything in English, the name that is? In my language Kali means to burn, though I don’t think there would be any meaning similar to what it means in Telugu
@@anuragneelam8527
Kali is a general term for the native martial art of the Philippines. It represents the various styles and methods of fighting in the Philippines.
Props to this Guys. They are breaking down the fights we see in movies/anime using science/martial arts technique. Separating what works on the real world and what is just imaginary.
I have been waiting for another video. And it was very good as always. Keep it on guys!
We really appreciate your comments Tobias! Love seeing you visit every video.
I know I'm late but thank you for what you do. When it comes to things like this I always love learning. There's always something new to learn or a new angle to looking at it from and I've learned a lot from your videos. Thanks again and stay safe out there. Fantastic channel.
You're not late! Thank you so much for the supportive comment. If you haven't yet, feel free to subscribe and hit that notification bell for our next video breakdown. Is there any other fight scene you'd like us to review?
@@ScenicFights no worries and thanks again for what you do. I think The Raid 2 would be an awesome choice to breakdown. There are so many scenes to choose from. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
13k likes and NO dislikes... thats amazing with so many rude and criticizing people on the net these days. great video!
I loved this movie and to be honest, I thought there were no problems with it. I'm happy this channel exists; Cause now that I can understand fights better I like it even more. it feels good.
Chad hurting Logan's feelings: the sharpest blade of all.
Logan would agree with that sentiment. Watch our Attack on Titan anime breakdown to see Logan get beat up for 20mins lol: ruclips.net/video/p_Gg5vgamxI/видео.html
P.S. It's all fun and games.
You guys should breakdown the foreigner with Jackie Chan, either the woods scene or the final fight scene. OR... BOTH!
Second this I love that movie
YESSS A NEW SCENIC FIGHTS UPLOAD WITH THESE CHADS 💯⚔️
*grumble*
I love that comment "if was in real fight I would start throwing garbage cans at people" awesome use what you got around you especially if you are out numbered.
Hell yeah! Been waiting on this one, great job guys!
Hope you enjoyed it! Our next breakdown is around the corner!
Wow it sure has been awhile since the part 2 of the man from nowhere, nice to see you back
Nice to have you back again J Kozak! Our next video is around the corner.
Thanks for covering my recommendation, guys! And awesome that Tuhon Tom Kier chimed in!
It was an honor having Tuhon Thomas Kier comment! Great recommendation.
This is my favorite movie knife fight. Underrated movie, and I love Tommy Lee Jones.
Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio del Toro is amazing in this film. We did another Tommy Lee Jones knife breakdown with Steven Seagal in Under Siege here for you to enjoy: ruclips.net/video/aK-Ixma0OuM/видео.html
@@ScenicFights Haha, thanks! Like you, I prefer the B+ Hunted fight to the F Under Siege fight. :D
Hunted is still one of my all time fav movies
So glad you finally did a breakdown of this movie, thank you.
Breakdown what you want. I'm looking forward anyway.
The only request I have would be....more content please. I can't wait for the next one. Love you guys.
Same of the best knife fighting movies I ever see!!!
Agree. Fantastic performance by Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro'.
Love the energy. Very good video guys. I always figured they had such deep psych stuff going on that it’s like if neither wanted to be there and kept giving a half ass chance.
you guys do wxcellent film n movie fight breadowns!i like how you go over each move each scene to have an understanding of what defenses and offenses are bieng chose and most importantly why.thanks again!
Thanks for the analysis. I know I was impressed by this scene when I saw the movie but I did have that feeling of, "Aaaaah, whadhedodere?" a couple of times but I didn't really think about it then. I like your perspective and the added benefit of Chad's Jiu Jitsu expertise and the body dynamics of close quarter fighting makes your channel very interesting and a lot of fun. I have two karambits and love learning more about Eskrima.
I’m newly subscribed, but I’m a keen martial artist, Selfdefence and weapons practitioner.
I Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuv what you guys are doing with this channel. Honest, informed breakdowns. I’m a fan of you guys work. 👊🏾
I’m kopping your ‘scenic fights’ rashguards
Thank you so much for the awesome comment! If you purchase a rashguard, please share us a photo on our Discord discord.gg/zJg5pws or tag us on Twitter/IG so we can share it.
This is a wonderful breakdown of one of the most beautiful knife fight I ever seen in movies. About the knife drop at 6:25 I know that this seems nonsensical and too risky but I think that the intention of Del Toro's character was to surprise his opponent with a hand swap that was not easily readable.
This has become one if my favourite channels. You guys are great.
Thank you! We really appreciate the comment and the subscription. Is there any other fight scene that you'd like to see us breakdown next?
As a Japanese Jiu jitsu practicing person I find that if you can get a proper grip on the opponents hand you can with or without the weapon you can throw them and still be in control of the weapon and the person and be able to do damage once you have thrown them. Enjoyed the show thanks guys.
Thanks for doing this scene. It is one of my favorites
Not a problem! Happy that we could breakdown one of your favorite scenes. Are there any other fight scenes you'd like to see us breakdown next?
My two favorite moments in the fight:
1: The exchange that resulted in the stab through Jones' arm. It's such a simple exchange with a brutal result. The belly/chest slashes already took the fight to another level, but that Stab through the arm really hit hard for me. And you could say that is when Jones is at his most vulnerable. (And I will admit I have imagined various scenarios where another character goes through that exact same exchange but actually finishes the job)
2: The knife drop then belly slash. Yeah, I totally see what you guys mean by he could just switch hands without dropping it. I just liked that it was a cool trick that Jones didn't see coming without being too over the top.
One of my all time favorite fight scenes. It was really cool to see the breakdown. Certain elements were clearly there for dramatic effect but there was legit technical work sprinkled in which makes the scene so cool.
100% a great showcase of Sayoc Kali. This scene is a pioneer in mixing realistic knife techniques with "Hollywood" choreography.
Also, the knife fight from The Raid 2 in the kitchen. That's another awesome fight that definitely needs a breakdown.
Keep these coming boys, just opened it I know its gonna be another banger, saber fight scene from fearless still needs a breakdown from you guys 🙏🙏
I absolutely love the break down and explanations of the moves and scenes. And yes you both are very correct and accurate as to the should haves and could haves. The only think that you both forget is that as Tommy Lee's character was the instructor. I didn't want to kill his student and ultimately had to. And deltoro his student wanted to die and be at peace so alot of his actions were very calculated not to kill Tommy Lee. But to push him to finally give him peace. In which Tommy Lee didn't want to do at all.
In our older breakdown videos, we didn't really acknowledge the story and characters (it was a choice), but as more people started requesting that we do, we now acknowledge it as best as we can. You're right though in your comment for sure about Del Toro not wanting to kill Tommy Lee Jones.
It's been a while! Great to see you guys made a new video!
Welcome back! We have another one right around the corner so stay tuned!
when you realize knife fights are more intense than shoot out scenes.
But! You have to agree some gun-fu scenes are superb like John Wick Chapter 1 and the John Woo Hong Kong action film classic, Hard Boiled with Chow Yun-fat.
@@ScenicFights oh yes of course it's next level action! gonna love it
The Hunted is one of my favorite movies ever! So well made and brilliantly acted all the way around!
i liked that "if you're going to be in a knife fight, run." part, something that i would totally do.
One of my favorite movies, great breakdown. Keep it up fellas👍🏻
I love The Hunted and I love this breakdown. Well done chaps.
YOu guys are great !! The haunted is one of my fave movies. I really like how you guys broke down the knife fight scene.
Glad you highlighted the need to use the environment and anything at hand when going up against a knife. My guro used to say the only time you’d ever try empty hands vs a knife is if you’re naked in an empty room! Lol!
One of the few things I could tell, with my few years of Kali training, was in the scene and movie, which I saw before I knew anything, and several years after I started Kali. Was how easy it was for them to break skin and draw a significant amount of blood. Even through their jackets and pants. especially the stone knife, would not have been able to cut through pants or a jacket clothe and into the skin, maybe at all. I have stone knives and I have real knives of varying sharpness, and most of them would not penetrate through a jacket or pants in a slicing motion. They would in a stabbing motion.
i swear. this channel is so underrated. they teach you real fighting. lol
It really means a lot that you feel that way about us! All we can humbly ask is if you can share out channel with your friends and have them subscribe and share our channel too!
Okay.
Guys I love the videos!!
I would absolutely love if you could do the Gangs of London's fight scenes, even if they are no martial arts fight per se, they are stunning and from my point of view the best cinematic fight scenes I have seen since John Wick's ones
KEEP IT UP YOU ROCK
The Hunted has been one of my favorite knife fight movies since it came out. I love your fight scene breakdown and critique but I wish you could have shown and discussed the knife training scenes in the film also.
When asked how he defined himself (such as karateka, judoka, etc.), a knife defense instructor i had years ago used to use the term Persev - acronym for perforate & sever.
I always liked that.
Great Vid, as always top level advice and techniques ! Chad and Logan complement each other's specialty very well. Congrats on the channel, GL for 2021 !
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for our next episode with more Chad and Logan!
Man I"m late to the party on this. Great video.
I was fortunate to be invited to the first showing of the directors cut by my friend Chino who is probably now a wing Chun master ,meeting Ben ,tuhan ,Maurice, Arch,masters from many styles ,the escrima boys at fort Lewis....my god I had no idea how blessed I was.
I appreciate you guys reviewing the Hunted. This movie got me interested in Kali. If you will, id like you to review Daniel Craig in James Bond Quantum of Solace scene in the hotel room in Haiti where the guy jumps out of a closet with a knife. Also Brandon Lee in Rapid Fire towards the end. There is a short Martial Arts actor in many movies but i dont remember his name. The fought in the warehouse and for awhile he seemed to be giving Brandon Lee a run for his money. Ive been wanting someone to dissect both movies for quite awhile.
Happy to see you guys back!
Happy to see you back Kevin!
Guys you are becoming better with each video. Logan and Chad are becoming funnier lol. I've always found The Hunted fight scenes to be more realistic than other films. Great breakdown 👍👍. Pls do breakdown fight scenes from The Raid movies, I'm excited for that.
Haha we really appreciate the comment, Amith! We do our best to improve every video. Both Logan and Chad are a pretty funny duo in real life so we're glad it's starting to resonate on screen.
Great video as always! Y'all have real chemistry. Each person's contributions complement each other, and it's clear everyone's having a good time.
Since it was mentioned in the early part of the video, I do have one suggestion: Chad, slow down and stabilize your cadence just a bit more. Your breakdowns are detailed and informative, but a lot of it is new to me. It's a challenge to understand because I'm learning something. It's more difficult if I miss a word here and there. Sometimes I need to rewind and pay extra close attention.
When sharing technical knowledge via speech, a consistent rhythm is best. Humans instinctively recognize patterns. Once we hear your cadence a few times, we learn what to expect. That makes it easy for folks to retain your wisdom.
Very fair constructive criticism. We will share with Chad.
5:47 I watched that disarm like 7 times
It was pretty sweet wasn't it?
Loved that film, pretty underated if I remember rightly.
FINALLY!
great breakdown guys
Welcome back Matthew! Glad to have you for the premiere. Any other fight scene you'd like us to do next?
im throwing eastern promises out there.

Thank u, it s a great releave to hear something true about knife defense:
Run or tow on one..
At 8.52min in the Royal Marines our PTI’s taught to to strike with the knee or elbow bump for dislocation of the knife holders arm.Reverse said arm and go for chest neck thrust.Any other military guys/gals train that🙏🏻.Great Breakdown Guys👍🏻

I know this is late but another detail about Jones was that not only did he try to protect himself with the knife swing, he also slowly backed himself to a rock while trying to wipe off the blood in his eyes, and then checked his flank. That way he could make sure no one could approach him from behind and get him by surprise.
I've been waiting for this! Did not disappoint, per usual!
Thanks Alex! It was a great fight scene request. Is there any other scenes you'd like to see us breakdown?

Can you break down final fight from "Equilibrium"? Cause there's americanized version of Kali. It's like Kali, but with guns.
I second this. And my other two personalities third and fourth it.
Yoyo from Toronto!! Great video, reminded me of seeing this in the theater! Back in the army we used to play fight with knives and someone always got cut, every bloody time we'd have to answer for it in the morning lol.
5:20 There appears to be a continuity error in this part of the fight scene.
BDT was earlier wounded in the LEFT arm, so he bound it with some rope/string, but in this clip we see that his RIGHT arm is now bound due to being wounded, which is explains TLJ hits it repeatedly with his fist and also why this is so painful to BDT.
However, in the very next clip, the binding is now back on his LEFT arm again...
Great breakdown of the scenes and reality check.
I love this movie and this was a solid breakdown.
The Hunted is an underrated gem. Another underrated gem is The Man From Nowhere which I highly recommend checking out our breakdown and the movie: ruclips.net/video/aK-Ixma0OuM/видео.html
Just seen your video for the first time, and like it from the very first one. Great job.
