The knife stabbing scene in Saving Private Ryan will forever haunt me. I was in my teenage years watching SPR. The slow knife stab made me feel so hopeless, helpless and fearful at the same time.
And the worst part, it could have been avoided.
Yeah, haunts me too - it's his pleading that does it for me. Haunting! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
100% - if Upham wasn't so scared. Not sure how I would act in that situation! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
Any fight scene featuring a chick in hand to hand combat will always be "bad" IMO. Just because of the suspension of reality/ belief one has to do. I mean maybe if the chick has a weapon like a knife it's better... I'm thinking of Rebecca Ferguson in her first mission impossible film where she fights that dude towards the end of the film. Outside of something like that it's just way too hard for me to believe a 120 lb or less chick can kick a 6'+ tall 200q lb man's ass.
Before you ladies get all butthurt because you hate biology.... if it makes you feel any better it also blows my mind how one can let himself get his ass kicked and mauled by a fucking dog. I mean a BIG dog is like the size of a small (these days) woman... 100-120 lbs. Unlike a woman though dogs really don't have and arms... just teeth to worry about. A dog lunges at you I don't know why a dude wouldn't either uppercut the thing into oblivion or hammer punch it to hell while it's in mid air... it literally can't block a punch as it has no hands or elbows. Not to mention it would be easy to catch mid air and then just body slam yourself on top of likely killing it instantly certainly incapacitating it as you likely broke all it's ribs and punctured both it's lungs. Or... you know... just punt the damn dog like it's a 70 yard field goal try in yr super bowl.
Bottom line.... it blows my mind how one can let a dog kick your ass.... more so than Hollywood casting a
I can understand the scene but that just pissed me off like. Your mate is yelling for help and you sit there and just let it happen and then to top it off. Let the nazi that killed your mate just walk right past you and look into your eyes saying thanks for letting him past you. I get fight or flight and all that but like if that was me he’s getting a hundred and one bayoneted wounds
Woohoo! I composited 3 of those Barry shots! Thanks for showing my work!
Wow wow wow! No way! That's amazing :) do stick around, would love to have you as part of the channel!
Thank you for helping tobring an amazing show to life! I love BArry!
The wire work with the girl is fucking hilarious. Over the top, but just subtle enough that when Barry says, "WTF.....", the audience is right there with him.
I love Barry! Great work on you guys. Those scenes are great!
@@BuceGar you nailed it
Watching Henry “Reload” his arms was phenomenal
The best
And it wasn't script...he was just loosening up for the scene and director thought it looked badass and kept it in.
@@joesimonetti i know right?!
1:48 if you interested
@@joesimonetti Damn, looks a lot like an anime move that animators just do cuz it looks cool but doesnt have any real reason to be there. Cool.
To be fair, while Liam being 60 in that fight scene makes it less believable, Tom Cruise was 56 in that fight sequence from MI: Fallout.
He's not human. He's something else. I don't know what. ;)
Scientology is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural
Imagine a prequel of Taken, a younger actor doing those set of skills...
*Don't*
@@GenJuhruthere was a prequel kind of. It was a tv show and showed how Bryan Mills got those skills.
Pahaha!
One of the genius things about the Fallout bathroom fight is it's over before it begins - or so you think. Hunt goes in with the knockout shot, gets owned, then Walker floors the guy with the case. Fight done. None of it is telegraphed. You forget what's in the case until it comes to them trying to make the mask in the stall. Even those of us who saw Cavill 'reloading' his arms in the trailer are sitting there going "Oh ok - quick and easy!"
Great comment!! Thanks for the comment - stick around!

@@henryjensen2849 - good call !!! 👍
Excellent choices! Love this! thanks for the comment! Stick around!
Man, I was disappointed when he mentioned Daniel Bernhardt (Atomic Blonde/Barry) but didn't show him as the Agent in The Matrix Reloaded (the "Hm. Upgrades." scene). The man is a beast. He was also in John Wick but as an unnamed thug during the nightclub sequence, it's a "blink and you'll miss it" situation
Jackie Chan movies are excellent for uncut, wide shot fight scenes. Especially in his younger years
I love how the ultimate villain of the Taken is just some dude over 50 wearing tracking suit
Pahahahahahhahaha! Beautiful counter casting! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
Taken 2. The main bad guy in Taken is some rich old man in a robe.
The Mission Impossible Fallout fight scene is my favorite, but that Barry fight scene looks hilariously cool. I think I need to watch that show now.
Don't bother, it starts out as a good dark comedy / drama but it gets more and more pretentious as it goes on
Don't listen to the other guy the show is pretty good all the way through and has a decent enough ending. It peaks in the middle but it still worth watching till the end and has good moments and funny dark comedy in every episode. Just don't take it seriously, it's far from realistic at most times
@@ScarryHarry93 It has good moments but the writing gets so ridiculously up its own ass that all I really cared about was the action
@@rikiishitoru8885 I mean, maybe it's just me, but I fail to really see what you mean. For a dark comedy that had a habit of making some really good points on certain things and then being purely silly the next scene, I just didn't personally think it was that bad with the writing. I never felt that it was *truly* pretentious *because* of the fact that it was silly and not taking itself too seriously. Otherwise, the darkness and drama in it would have just made most of it a clone of Dexter with just as poor an ending.
@@ScarryHarry93 There's a really long stretch where it just stops being funny. Pretty much all of season 4 was devoid of intentional comedy, and season 3 was leaning out of it. The first season had the best balance of dark comedy and serious scenes, because the serious scenes were sparse enough that they were actually shocking
Little ninja girl be defying gravity. Barry is hilarious.
Love the scene and episode!
The tribute to Shawn of the Dead and Hot Fuzz when she jumps the fences is such a good cherry on top
@@MarcusFlemmings What is it from? I have hearing issues and couldn't understand from the video.
@@Arrath777 Nice catch 😂 I knew I recognised it from somewhere.
This might be the YT video that gets me to finally watch Barry. I was dying watching this sequence lmao.
The stairwell fight in Atomic Blonde is 100% worth the ticket price alone. I love how they make a one take scene without it actually being a one take.
Yeah, she had great stuntmen. It's a good thing she didn't get hit by accident, she would've folded up like an origami duck
The characters literally waiting in the background as he says they dont
From the little I saw, Mary Sue-ing to the point of losing all realism and immersion, though.
@@fooanonymous at least she got hit like twice, rey doesnt get hit at all.
Unless someone has the director's quote on it being one take, I don't think it is, i think its about 4-5 takes and I can point out the points, where they cut the film.
I am convinced that Henry Cavill reloading his biceps is one of the greatest fight moments in cinema
The fight in the shop in John Wick 3, nearly 15 mins into the movie. Incredible choreography and direction. John is surrounded by his wannabe killers in a narrow hallway, what's his escape plan? To make the best of his situation, use throwing knives, and even using one of the attackers as a shield at one moment. Just beautifully violent.
Love this scene as well! Agreed with you - my only issue is, with John Wick, is that he just seems absolutely unbeatable. Which isn't always compelling viewing! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
@@MarcusFlemmings
I think the enjoyment in John Wick fight scenes after the first one, and definitely after the second one, is just the creativity and the spectacle of it.
100% the guy is wearing more plot armour than most bad shows and films I've seen, but the fights are so creative and enjoyable to watch, that you still do love every second of it. each fight feels different, with a wide array of weapons and locations to keep things fresh.
by no means do I think that makes it flawless, because you can do all these things and have the stakes than John Wick doesn't seem to have. if the Wick series' fights weren't so good, those movies would suck ass.
it's pretty superficial, but it is just the spectacle of it all. switch your brain off and watch the invincible man take out countless foes in new ways every time.
That’s the scene I’ve replayed the most and showed to all my friends haha
The “hand me tha fackin keys what tha faaa” has me dying literally every time. The scene of them all laughing in the line up was because one of them let rip on set I can’t remember who I think it was spacey but can’t remember. Fun fact tho
Pollack says everyone knows it was Toro. Toro claims Pollack's lying to cover himself :P
Also I just love how Del Toro disappears into his characters. It's like you're watching a different actor every movie
What movie is that?
@@michelmacfly8454 "The Usual Suspects" from 1995 - incidentally my favourite movie all time. Highly recommended 18+ Oscar winner.
...as in it's 18+ and won Oscars, not as in it won 18+ Oscars... :P
Great shoutout to Steven Seagal's Seated Slap Fight-Fu. Space Ice is nodding in appreciation somewhere.
Ahh I c u r citizen of RUclips too
Space Ice is GOATED!
All of us!
Please check out the scene from Upgrade (2018). The protagonist is being controlled by an implanted AI through one of the key fight sequences. He is having an existential breakdown, sobbing, not understanding what is going on, whilst at the same time he is clinically destroying an assailant. Its remarkable, and I think it shows how the fight scene itself can be used to progress the plot, not just having the plot depend on its outcome.
Agreed, that movie is criminally underrated
Exactly. Love that movie.
Agreed, Upgrade was such a fantastic film
That dude's "fight acting" was freaking amazing!
His robotics fighting style really makes It stands out.
Not to mention the gyroscope camera enhanced said robotics style.
Glaring omission here - the Oldboy (2003 Park Chan-Wook) corridor fight scene.
Yeah, a great fight! I covered it, kind of, in my Oldboy video on the channel - but a full video coming soon! Thanks for the comment!
@@MarcusFlemmings Agree 100% about Old Boy hammer fight against multiple opponents. Supposedly a long take with no hidden cuts (which took 3 days to film). Spike Lee version is pretty great as well.
For sure! When he talked about fighting multiple opponents that was the first scene that came to mind!
Greatest fight scene ever made.
@@karlmelrose Potentially!
I burst out laughing when you called Steven Seagal an "Easy Target". He should remake "Hard Target" and call it "Easy Target" lmao.
I was gonna go for a joke there in the video, but it didn't suit the tone - good spot though ;-)
0:39 bro was zesty when he got shot at 😂😂
Pahahahahahaa!!! Best time to get Zesty!
That Barry episode is FANTASTIC and probably one the best in the whole series. It’s funny and the action doesn’t stop moving forward until the very end. Brilliant episode.
Actor Combatant and Stage Combat Instructor in training here, The bathroom fight from The World's End is pretty underrated, in my opinion. It's goofy but creative and clear. They Live also has an awesome slow-paced fight that really sells how exhausted the characters become. Definitely worth looking at both in more detail.
1:48 I love that part where Cavil like shakes his arms out, I saw a reviewer once say " It's like he just reloaded a pump shot gun" and now every time i see that clip, that sound goes through my head.
While it doesn’t count, I’m very glad you added the fight from Barry, it’s very funny and Barry is my favorite show.
Great scene in a good little show! thanks for the comment! Stick around!
In the context of this video there are two films that really need covering: Haywire and The Raid.
Haywire has a very real grounding, it shows the punishment of the fight, without detracting from the power of the fight.
The Riad is just visceral kinetic violence, but choreographed in such a way to make it immediate, repulsive and the exhilarating.
Great choices! Haven't seen Haywire since it first came out and The Raid, I've covered a few times - including on Volume 1 of this series :) Thanks for the comment - stick around!
@@MarcusFlemmings Haywire just using good blocking and angle changes as opposed to jump cuts. Also there is some clear contact and padding, but it's old school and tense...and again..no music in some case..it's almost intimate.
@@domedwards5256Haywire is just one 10/10 fight scene after another for an hour and a half. Such an under appreciated gem.
Haywire rocks!!
The IP man vs Tyson fight was fantastic. Fun fact : Mike Tyson actually broke his hand during the fight. If I'm not mistaken it was when his punches were being blocked by elbows.
I also heard that Donnie Yen accidentally got knocked out by Tyson for a few seconds.
@@hokutoshinken-chrisarmstro131the fact that they got two real athletes and they both essentially said "yeah just fuckin go for it, I can take it" really shows in the scene, you can almost feel the impacts
Elbow is harder than the fingers. That's why it is perfect for blocking punches if you are fast enough.
@@hokutoshinken-chrisarmstro131 never heard of it. You made it up
You're clearly not intelligent. That fight looks so incredibly fake, Tyson just standing there waiting to block punches while this dude is up on the desk. Embarassing.
I will have to nominate the fight scene in Bridget jones diary 1 and 2. Doesn’t get more real than that. Two middle aged men who have never fought in their life’s trying to beat each other is hilarious.
Its one of my favourites scenes ever . Always makes me laugh.
The hallway fight in Daredevil
The hallway fight in Repo Men
The prison fight in Punisher
I think they're all pretty good fight scenes, and obviously inspired by Old Boy.
Also, the kitchen fight in Upgrade, while rather short, is interestingly made and with the low budget they had.
Agreed with these! Great choices! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
the fight scene in the cell block from the Punisher Serie is really bad ass..
@@Nik111333 Agreed!
I hope you cover the hallway fight scene in season one of Daredevil. I know it's a tv show but it's still one of the best fights I've ever seen. But in movies recently, I did love Kill.... it's an Indian action movie that just came out and they literally fought hand to hand....or hand to fire extinguisher.. anyway, it was brutal af. I hope you check that out.
I probably won't cover it fully, I'll use it's inspiration (Old Boy) as the framework!
Im with you on Daredevil.. man those long takes live rent-free in my head!
@@MarcusFlemmings Banshee has fantastic and brutal fights
Also, in the same vein, the stairs fight in Ong Bak is interesting, you should take a look !
@@crsv7armhl Yes! Pretty basic storylines but fantastic action sequences!
There was a fight scene from an Akira Kurosawa called Rashomon that stood out to me. It starts about 33 minutes in. Just the wildness and untamed sword fighting felt believable to me. There probably was a freak in real life that fought in the unhinged manner the main character does. Reminds me of how Miyamoto Musashi would describe his duels
3:17 You must be confused. That's famed director, Lucas George.
Barry is such a great show and the episode that fight takes place in is one of my favorite in the series. Wonderful direction by Bill Hader
"Ninja Assassin" (2009)
The bathroom fight scene, loved that one back then because of how gritty and real it felt. (Haven't seen the movie in years, don't know if it aged well)
5:18 Yup, definitely lacking geography. Needs more geography.
What about a good bad fight scene between Colin Firth and Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones’s Diary
CLASSIC CINEMA! thanks for the comment! Stick around!
Kill Bill movies, Mad Max: Fury Road, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Casino Royale are movies with excellent fight scenes.
There are a few ingredients that make a good fight scene: physics (within the context of the movie), choreography, camera work and stakes.
And I don't know what it's called but when they're able to show us the layout of the scene so you know where everyone and everything is and the environment they're in, and when the characters are causing chaos throughout the scene these elements get disturbed in a really fun and engaging way.
Few movies do it well. That's why I was so shocked at Fury Road and Furiosa. They have so many cars, so many characters but they all have their own little purpose for being in the scene and you can pinpoint the positions of everything at any given time. You can see the big picture, follow the action and feel for the characters at the same time. And there's no lingering questions afterwards like "where'd that guy come from?" or "why didn't he just shoot instead of coming closer so the main guy can disarm him?" Or any questions you might have can be easily answered after a rewatch. Seriously anyone trying to make an action movie needs to dissect everything in Fury Road. It's basically one big chase scene with small moments in between. And you'd see layers upon layers of thought put into every single frame.
extra points for including the Executive Decision cameo
Hhaa! I couldn't resist! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
Benjy: **doesn't upload for 2 years**
This guy: "Fine. I'll do it myself."
What do you mean?
@@MarcusFlemmingsBenjy is a youtuber who I believe uploads basically the same content as these videos, videos such as "best/coolest movie fight scenes pt. 87" or something like that
10:09 I really like atomic blonde. Probably seen it three times, good soundtrack too
Yeah that movie is awesome. That car chase scene is done perfectly too.
Still to this day amazes me that the first Mission Impossible movie came out in the era it did without a single fight scene or shootout and managed to be one of the best action movies in that time when pretty much every action movie was full of guns and explosions.
Great point! Masterful direction by De Palma!
[4:07] One of the worst problems with the 'Taken 2' fight sequence is that the actors are constantly swapping sides of the screen, often with only _milliseconds_ between shots. Your brain quickly loses track of what is going on.
Jackie is the master of fighting a large group by himself.
You HAVE to talk about the fight scenes in the movie "Monkey man". It has a lot of shaky cam, but I feel it fits because of how chaotic the fights are. I love how it focuses on hand to hand combat and that they actually use their environment to their advantage
critics: you're too whimsical.
Spielberg: aight **cooks absolute despair**
Awesome series. As an aspiring film maker, I love how critical you are of both "quick edits" and "shaky cam", both of which I hate and note every time I see in a movie.
You should do bad sword fight scenes and good sword fight scenes. The best one to use is the sword fight scene in the movie Troy, Brad Pitt against Eric Bana, Hector vs Achilles, greatest sword fight in a movie ever and no one knows about it.
I also really enjoyed when Achilles stormed the beach. Great 1 vs many fight.
perhaps not the best but i really enjoyed Brosnans sword fight in The World is Not Enough; also Last Samurai
There's no one universal style to get a great action movie, it's always going to be on the physicality of the actors and stunt people, editing, the choreography, and creativeness of the fights themselves.
Totally agree, but also, same applies to bad action movies!
the hallway fight scene in oldboy is still my favourite fight scene ever, imo it deserves a spot in one of your videos
I love the biggest complaint of Taken 3 was that Liam Neeson vaulting a fence had about 10 cuts.
I know you have a no guns thing, but the _Atomic Blonde_ scene has them, and with that in mind I'd say the Red Circle fight from the first _John Wick_ is worth considering. Because of how the fight is structured, gunplay and grappling go hand in hand and because Wick is getting mobbed by dudes from all sides he's basically always in physical contact with one bad guy even while he's shooting at others, and because he ends up killing so many of the basic mooks in the runup to the final confrontation, by the time he's killed the club's head of security, he's out of ammo, so we get a very quick, very brutal confrontation between Wick and Kiril, the antagonist's chief body guard. Wick starts off with the upper hand in an ambush, but Kiril quickly turns the tables on him, stabs him, and throws him off a balcony, handily winning the fight in a very short time. Kiril wins all three fights he has with Wick, only losing their final encounter thanks to external intervention, a sign of a good antagonist.
For me, the mandingo fight in Django unchained is one of the most haunting.
11:20 Just pointing out , the episode is called Ronnie/Lily not Barry/Lilly
Yes, my error! Blame RUclips, it's got so many names!
The criminally underrated Daniel Bernhardt should never not get a rewatch when mentioned. atomic, nobody, barry, wick, matrix; the man is a fight choreo legend
That saving private Ryan scene will never not piss me off. Upham is one of the biggest cowards in cinematic history
I remember one time Me and my dad argue while watching this and My dad gone full blown " can you do better than Upham? If you were really there, no combat experience, you think you can do it?"
Its funny that everytime me and dad watch action film and something gone wrong we would argue as if we were part of the film xD.
Especially if you are a veteran. I cant watch that scene without being pissed. Frickin coward.
@@albenjon I love having debates like that. Especially with movies where the characters have to make impossible decisions. I’ve had conversations about what we would do in Upham’s position. Lots of interesting takes
Except your dad was right. Miller and his men were army rangers and Upham is literally an office clerk they grabbed and threw into the frontlines just because he could speak German and French. Upham was not supposed to fight and neither did the rangers expect him to. That is why he was assigned to be the ammo runner in the final battle.
Yeah but for me Upham doesnt need to fire a gun, like he just need to be there to atleast ward off that german guy, hit him with his rifle, etc. He suddenly overthinks of killing, or the guilt of killing ,or if he gonna miss etc, (for me)
Altho now I forgave upham coz in the end, he did redeemed himself and Shot the another german dude he saved in earlier parts.
The fact that you didn’t include Haywire with Gina Carano, Michael Fassbender, and Channing Tatum is borderline criminal 😂.
You should cover the fight scene from The Killer. One of the best fight scenes we have gotten in recent times
80's classic?
@@MarcusFlemmings David Fincher, released either this year or last
@@andymcfly6925 Oh yes, of course! Last year :) great fight! I thought you meant the John Woo one!
Your inclusion of this particular scene from Barry was brilliant. I remember watching the episode and laughing my socks off because the action was so believable and entertaining. Another great video!!
One of the best fight choreographies I've ever seen was in the movie Troy (2004), Achilles vs. Hector. I was also impressed by the fight on the bus in the movie Nobody (2021), but the background of the fight played a big role here and that's why it looked cool
I can't get over Seagal's fat-seated fighting, I had no idea they went back that far lmao
What a legend!
Fuck this. The first 30 seconds are so good I'm going to watch part 1 first and get a coffee and some fig rolls fr
Fig rolls ftw!!!
HAHAHAHHAHAA! Love this comment! Big love!
not a minute in a video and seeing a feature of raid in the kitchen scene, that takes the spot for me
Hhahaa! Watch Volume 1, I talk about that scene!
So nice to see some Hero's action scenes. Brilliant movie. You're making me change my whole perspective about action sequences.
You're GREAT! What's your fave action scene?
@@MarcusFlemmings Hey!!
Sorry for not being i'm the stream. Here in Perú was 12:00 p.m. and i go to a restaurant with my family.
My favourite action sequence? Ufff....
That's a very dificult decision. Haven't seen all.
Very Big fan of this elaborated coreograph in Kill Bill or John Wick, but i liked also something more visceral as Apocalypto or Fury Road.
Recently i saw Monkey Man and it has some amazing action sequences. Very brutal.
@@recetasfaciles2816 Apocalypto has some great fights!
I know it’s not a movie, but the fight scenes in the Daredevil show are brilliant
Check out Volume 3 in this series, it focuses on Daredevil :)
The fights in the Bourne series started out good but got worse as the movies went on :( The sniper/shotgun fight in the field in Bourne Identity was *chefs kiss*, in Bourne supremacy the fight with the pen was pretty good despite a bit of shaky cam, by the time they got to Bourne Ultimatum though, you literally could not tell what was going on until the end of a fight scene cos the shaky cam and framing was so chaotic :(
Hhahaa! It's my fave trilogy of films but I get what you're saying! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
I love the fight with the magazine in Supremacy. I'm not for or against shaky cam/quick cuts as long as its done well, just like any other stylistic choice. I loved the fallout fight too but these style of fights can sometimes come across as a little bit choreographed for me. I see them as enjoyable and exciting but lacking any real danger whereas in Bourne you genuinely feel that these are two people fighting for their lives and will do anything to kill the other. Its a different feel. I also think what's happening in the fight is quite clear despite the quick cutting. Both are great fights, just different. I'd also add the fight in the lift in Captain America Winter Soldier and the all female showdown in Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon as ones that stand out for me.
Good GOD, I was on the floor in TEARS from laughter with that Barry episode. 🤣
I love it!
That Mission Impossible fight is lifted from True Lies and nobody buys tiny Tom beating up 45 dudes.
Hahhaa! Thanks for the comment - stick around!
That martial artist scene from Barry had me dying. So realistically gritty
Im glad you brought up the one in Mission Impossible because I've been thinking about it since I saw it; I really, really hate it. The choreography is superb, even the story told is good in a vacuum, however, big part of the franchise has always been fight scenes and you will struggle to find a scene where Tom actually loses a fist fight. It pains me that something up in the air like him losing a fight is thrown away for a character that hadn't shown up ever and will never appear again, I dont even remember the name of the character, he just shows up, beats up the main characters 2 on 1 and dies. It could paint the story of the main character falling off his game, something that actually seemed to me like it was during the first half of the movie, I even thought that was the name of the movie Fallout meant. But it's brushed aside quickly and never mentioned again. I really hate that scene!
Consider this: the new generation of action stars (the Rock, Vin Diesel, Statham, etc.) almost never show their characters getting the absolute piss beat out of them. I think a few of have a clause in their contracts about never laying or sitting on the ground in front of an opponent--in a vulnerable position--which makes it difficult to ultimately root for them.
Tom Cruise and the old guard (Willis, Stallone, Arnold, etc.) never shied away from getting beaten and shot to a pulp. That's what makes their characters so endearing, even if they never really "lose" a fight. The earn the win.
I know its not a movie - but the Punisher bathroom fight scene season 2 and the season 2 warehouse fight scene was absolutely incredible
I like seeing Daniel Bernhardt in stuff
Me too! Such a recognisable face!
The man has aged like a fine wine. He's always been entertaining to watch, his fights rarely disappoint, and he's been in scenes with some of Hollywood's best.
The analysis of what ACTUALLY makes the fight scene good, in terms of choreography, filmmaking, editing, is much appreciated instead of the rather piss-poor videos you usually see of people just compiling clips saying ‘this is bad, this good’ with no deconstruction of the scene, or actual commentary. Also people always ignore how important writing is in creating a good set piece. Its what I’ve always loved about James Bond action scenes, they have a clear arc, progression, setup and pay off to EVERY thing, in Bond films the protagonist has to be clever to survive and beat his enemies, not just a ‘stronger/better fighter’.
Atomic blonde is so underrated. What an amazing film. Shame on you for speaking ill of it. If you were bored during that movie, it's because you are boring.
Ultimately, the people with the popular and bankrolled YT accounts have the heaviest influences. If they state something in a video, after 120k+ people see it, what they claimed becomes law. 💪😎✌️ Popularity and marketing represent modern day facts and truths. No exceptions.
I watched Atomic blonde at home and the fight sequence got me exhausted. Had to pause so I can breathe and recover.
"if you don't like what I like, fuck you 🤓"
Hahha! I think you're joking, so I shan't clap back! thanks for the comment! Stick around!
I think the main problem I had with the new Furiosa movie is that Anna Taylor Joy doesn't have the same presence as Charlize Theron had when she played that character.
Don't get me wrong, Anna is a good actress. But Charlize has that posture, that hardness, that THING that convinces you she is a character of an action movie. She feels like a menace.
She has rage in her eyes.
I feel that people keep giving Atomic Blonde far too much credit. That fight scene was still 90% guys rolling about and waiting their turn as the protagonist has infinite stamina.
Most films with big crowds are like that!
They were rolling around because she was kicking them down a staircase. The timing the extras showed in that impeccable and really well choreographed. You clearly didn't pay attention while watching the scene.
@@akhilnair1137 Yet they never recuperate and regroup? They just recover one at a time and attack one at a time, and only some of them conveniently have weapons, but those guys are never around when they need them.
The whole scene was performed more like a music video than a fight scene.
@@Sun-Tzu- yeah, because recuperating after falling and rolling down staircases is not the easiest thing to do, but when they do it they get back to fighting her. You can't expect them to recuperate at the same time either. Almost every character had a gun in that scene, and it was shown how she disarmed all of them. Again, I feel like you need to watch that scene again.
@@akhilnair1137 As they each individually recuperate they immediately engage rather than helping their allies up. And they're all magically disarmed without getting to just shoot her in the face. It's a dumber scene than any John Wick fight.
Anton Chigurgh vs Llwellyn Moss, in the hotel, No Country for Old Men. Probably my #1 favorite action sequence of all time. That's what real gunfighting is. A dirty game of cat and mouse. No rules, no law, no code of conduct. Just two men doing everything in their power to kill the other, imagining what they would do, if they were standing in the other's shoes. We see the scene primarily from Llewellyn's perspective, but we can still reasonably infer what Chigurgh must be doing, based on what Llewellyn is doing, where he's looking, and how/when he chooses to move. Not only a masterclass performance in acting from Josh Brolin. but a masterclass in screenplay writing from the Coen Brothers. No music required. All the suspense comes from your heart beating a mile a minute, wondering who's going to come out on top. Absolutely brilliant filmmaking. No Country for Old Men is one of the best films ever made!
I like how during the fight, Henry Cavill grows two days of beard and gis shirt grows a pocket
Nothing makes me HATE a movie more than a fight where the hero is just getting completely dominated the whole time, but survives the beating just to comeback and win in one move
Hahhahah! Great little trope!
Some of my favorite sequences that are often overlooked (some more than others) Include the tank and airplane fight scenes in the Indy films, the Hallway fight from Old Dog, and the final fight in the 1971 Macbeth scene. I find them often underappreciated and the care that went in to them is astounding.
I will agree the fight scene in Atomic Blond looked good, but it was kinda hard to take seriously. Even at her best, Theron still could not make it believable that she didn't get overpowered in about 2 seconds.
You should add, making it believable the fight could actually play out how it did. A 100 pound woman, fighting a 220 man is always going to be a really tough sell unless lots of weapons are involved.
Man fallout toilet fight. No background music, Very good choreographed movements, the fact that you can feel those impacts. I love it
ronnies daughter being a ninja animal kid is so hilarious🤣
Daredevil and the prison break was unbelievable. So well edited it felt real. Best fights I've ever seen.
Volume 3 has some Daredevil in it :) Thanks for the comment and do stick around :)
Thank you for including that fight scene from Barry. The first time I watched that I was blown away. Still my favorite part of the show.
Love the fight, it's funny, technically good and bizarre!
The Bourne movies had some of my favorite fights ever
Eastern Promises - bath house fight...
Almost any fight in The Night Comes for Us
Amazing choices!!
Hero is one of the most beautiful movies made. The surreal combat, the wuxia fantasy, the nature of the plot, and the 3 lessons that are taught by each master is just priceless.
Thank you for addressing the shaky camera in fights!!! I so hate this and I feel it is lazy cinematography!!! We also see this in action scenes involving car chases and jet fighters but we are taking about fight scenes here. Too many directors don't employ good stunt coordinators to train and film a good fight scene in modern movies. But in the old days, some to the best fight scenes that were shown on television (though they were movies) were the Kung Fu flicks that used to come on TV at 3:00PM on Saturdays (Fen X'ers from NYC know what I am talking about). One of the best fight choreography for a film is Shaolin vs. Lama! The camera work and fighting in every single fight was intense and BRUTAL!!! But very believable and entertaining. And with mentioning of the editing to close in on the character, quick cuts and shake the camera, that technique always made me sick and lose interest. Even in many anime/animation fights (Ninja Scroll, Street Fighter 2, Fight of the NorthStar, Justice League, Justice League Unlimited, The Dark Knight Returns) all had FANTASTIC fight scenes that felt real and watchable! In closing, I thank you for this video and the lesson. New Subscriber signing in! Take care!
The 3 table fights from Ip man 2 are so incredible. The compact space and balancing act make for excellent close quarters, and it really feels awkward and closed in.
Didn't see part 1, but the intro actually showed the movie I was hoping for, so I'm guessing it was in part 1. I'm sold. Watching the rest.
Fun and interesting analysis and selections. It would be interesting if a fight scene from one of the comical 'Bud Spencer & Terence Hill' movies of the seventies could find a place in further volumes, though they probable for a category all of their own)... 🤔
(For instance one of the climatic fight scenes from either 'Trinity' films, the marketplace fight from 'The Two Missionaries' or the 'gym' scene from 'Watch Out, We're Mad'...)
Would love to see you analyze a very corny (but rather cool) movie called Ninja Assasin. While over the top, I very much enjoyed some of the fights scenes
The biggest issue with most fights is that they look choreographed. You can see people in the background standing there waiting for their cue.
You've probably mentioned this in another one of these, but EVERY fight in The Raid is extraordinary.
Volume 1 covers The Raid 2!
ronny/lily is one of the funniest episodes in TV history. And surprisingly also one of the best action episodes too
The scene from Saving Private Ryan was gut-wrenching. I remember the first time I saw it. I had to have been 15 years old and really just... it scared me.
That hip throw reversal coming out of the bathroom stall was so good. I'm a beginner in judo, but ive seen some of the guys who know what they're doing pull off cool stuff like that so it's realistic, and awesome.
Love that part!
Oldboy (the original one) scene in the corridor is one of my favorites!
8:30 That was the real Steven Segal flying out that air hatchet, according to him.
I always loved the M:I series, but Christopher McQuarrie was the best thing that could've happened to the franchise. I think all three of his M:I movies are absolute bangers, with Rogue Nation being my favorite.
Honestly, Barry's approach towards filming action scenes was revelatory for me. Really impressive stuff, honestly
Thank you so much for adding that fight scene from Barry. It is beyond brilliant in its execution.
And I love the bathroom fight scene. It is so good
Please keep posting these
Volume 3 is out already and Volume 4 is out in 2 hours :) do watch them and drop a like please :)
@@MarcusFlemmings perfect. Thankyou for the update.
thank god there are people who appreciate grounded fighting but also understand that fight scenes are an art form. Too many "that's not realistic" people
