The legend about "Deluge" says one of the actors basically "lost it". He was trying to hype himself to become angry to the point he lost it and started fighting for real 😅
I like with the Deluge duel how they show the white shirt guy is less experienced by the way his non-sword arm flails around wildly while he's fighting, and the colonel's is just chilling behind his back.
I love that the background for the "cool" pose for samurai cop doesn't change
Fun video! :)
But just a little errata, for the first fight in Vinland Saga: "Snake", the man with the curved sword, was not at all a Charlemagne bodygard/a warrior from his court. (Charlemagne is long dead by this point in the story)
He is in fact a "Viking". It is implied that he was a Varangian guard, serving the Byzanthine Empror. (So a Norse/Russ man serving as mercenarie/bodyguard for the East Romans)
His sword is probably a Paramerion. (Who is thought to be primerly a cavalry sword)
Ah, that's right. I remembered he was more than 'just a viking', but not exactly what he was implied to be, just something to do with the Romans.
It's good to see another who knows about the Russ people and their influence on viking culture, and a curved sword for a viking is absolutely possible because of the Russ Sabres (modernly known as shashkas) being developed in Eastern countries and traveling to Russia.
However, they would more prevalently be guarding Greece, and further eastern countries mainly because of religious politics.
This format is really fun to watch !
React to Metal Gear Rising Revengance and analyze how accurate it's swordplay is
There's some great Sword play in 13 Assassins. And even some proper use of Sabers in " Dracula Untold" before it gets super natural.
I feel like every fight in star wars can be like indiana Jones (just pull out a flippin gun).
I would not be surprised to see (modern) Star Wars in here
Edit: I was right, wish I wasn't
Yeah, those fights are laughably bad. To make it worse, the dialogue is as bad, or worse, than the duels😞
@@goldenageofdinosaurs7192 Ahsoka vs anakin and obi wan vs vader where pretty good tho
That last one had the energy of Star Trek Original Series fight scenes
Please do more videos like this
12:42 Her lightsaber hilt is based on that of a tachi, which does curve toward the user, so no, it's not backwards.
this made me realize they should have curved lightsabers lmao
If you were looking for a realistic fight from Vinland Saga, I wish you'd picked the Thorfinn vs Askeladd duel from Season 1, Episode 8. The Thors vs Askeladd fight isn't terribly realistic in some ways (nobody is doing flips and acrobatics with armor on), but it would have been interesting to see your reactions.
100% agree, I hope he talks about it, or tries doing something like that in sparring.
Man if you haven’t see Vinland saga you should definitely watch it. It has a great story
Loving this video format! Probably gonna check some of these out!
This is awesome. And cinematic combat makes me cry.
You should try bladesong, it’s a very cool sword creator game with almost infinite possibilities for creation.
Fair warning tho, it crashes often so he sure to save often.
I have to make the comment about the Ahsoka fight where of course having the dialogue cut out of it will make that scene seem bad because the dialogue is what made that scene showing that the battle was not just physical but mental as well.
Talking will not fix bad choreography. Sorry, disagree
@@SellswordArts I'm not arguing it'll make anyone like the choreography only that the scene is not meant to be choreography alone and leans very heavy on the dialogue that got cut out, if that makes sense.
I get what you're saying, but I would rather that the multi-million dollar production not have to rely on the dialogue to prop up the fight. They could do better.
Sorry, I'm just tired of making excuses for Star Wars.
@@alannatherson7721"the choreography wasn't meant to be choreography" is a bizarre thing to say
It would be awesome to do an action movie and just randomly put your sparring videos in wherever there's action... LOL
I'd like to see a reaction to and breakdown of a later fight in the Ahsoka series, the final duel between Ahsoka and Morgan Elsbeth, who is played by Diana Lee Inosanto.
Definetely need 7 more episodes 🤣🤩
I'm happy to say that I bought a training sword
vinland saga is sacred. In many ways is waaaay more realistic thsn most shows, AND it has the rule of cool for depicting extraordinary heroes. Since the show isnt as mainstream im pretty sensitive about it. Is my second favourite anime of all time
You should check out the fight with Kristina Locken in Sword of Xanten. Also, The final fight at the convent in The Four Musketeers With Christopher Lee. For "so bad it's good' try Deathstaker II. You do not need to see the first.
The thing is, when I watch those fights in Ashoka or Obi-Wan, they really aren’t all that different from the fight in Samurai Cop.
For years, I’ve maintained that the most realistic fight in any of the Star Wars films or series is the Vader & Obi-Wan duel in A New Hope.
That's a baffling choice, considering it was all just a bunch of little baby boops so they wouldn’t break their props.
Hey man got a request for a video could you do an updated pell video for the longsword? I find myself just swinging at it and would appreciate some direction on combining footwork and strikes to make a coherent work out
Rurouni Kenshin Live Action movie series fight scenes are amazing!
Can you react to Star War the Old Republic Trailers?
This was fun!
Im actually suprised that you included my home country's movie "The Deluge" It was so fun to see the reaction! By the way you should totally watch vinland saga, its life changing
18:38 You can IMMEDIATELY tell they did it slowly for safety and digitally sped it up in post.
You should react to Jedi: Fallen Order and jedi: Survivor cutscene duels.
Where is the mug from? I love it
It's from The Knarly Knot
Should blind react to the sabre fight at the end of Shanghai Nights with Jackie Chan.
Cool tattoos! What do the Norse and Hebrew say?
Antoni Olbrychski's grandfather is Daniel Olbrychski (guy who played Andrzej Kmicic in the Deluge)
check Hema ratings
I would love to see y’all react to some fight scenes from shows like vikings or GoT
Cool mug
20:47 that title is diabolical
cool shirt clark
If you want a really bad sword fight that makes all of these look competent, look up the final fight scene from Deathstalker 3. You won’t be disappointed. ;) Keep doing what you’re doing and having fun guys. Love the content.
if you do this again i recomend 2 channels whith amazing choreographies; Adorea, the best channel ever.
Spatha, french group.
both have good historical fights but adorea is just out of this world
The best Polish sabre fight recorded to date is this one;
ruclips.net/video/Darpu7JUhqY/видео.html
The technicality of the swordsmanship is staggering. It's one of those demonstrations that the lay person won't understand the depth of just how impressive it is.
Now I don't condone public shaming, but TV shows do have the credits for a reason
Man I need to start watching Vinland Saga again
Ashoka is holding the swords the "corect" way as thay are inspierd by japanese swords. Its as he has a disho.
In most of the video she's holding it fine, but that spot right when they comment on it she's holding it with the curve away from her (or really sideways to her, but the wrong way). The katana and wakizashi curve towards the user, not away.
@@chrisdonnell7200But it is curving towards her...
That Evangelion shirt is amazing💚
You should react to the Arkham Origins trailer Batman vs Deathstroke fight.
i have not seen the vid yet but i know it is good
The "swordsman" in the first scene shouldn't be allowed to use a sword ever again. That was a lazy fight scene full of dumb stuff that was done because "the story needs to happen"
You guys should check out History channel's Born for the saber, best sword film i have seen
what the bloody hell was that last one? I mean, the battle scenes from Meet the Spartans are better than that
Video 3 of asking you do to a legitimacy review of the Songs of War animation fight scenes
I can see why you don't like spins after watching that trash. Going from The Deluge to Ahsoka was a little painful.
13:10 "What was he aiming at?" Well if you knew what was happening in the story you'd know that the entire point of this fight is that Ahsoka is trying to get that orb on a pedestal in the centre of the arena. She was reaching for it, he was denying her path to it.
Why did he turn his back? Because he was walking back to the orb he needs to guard, and his character has excellent precognition so it's not that grievous a sin in the middle of a duel.
Choreography is a storytelling tool, especially in SW. If you don't know the story, you won't understand the choreo. I'm not saying the choreo here is great, but not knowing these characters or their goals or why they're fighting *necessarily* means you don't have enough context to judge the choreography.
Once in a while you'll see a fight that perfectly conveys everything you need to know through the choreo alone (ESB, TFA, Crouching Tiger), but those are extremely rare especially in SW.
Also, that clip splices the scene to hell, as you noted.
It's not just dialogue, it also cut out a cool phrase of both changing stances while sizing each other up, and cut a few strikes short.
Anyways, these are fun videos, I think you'd love the fights from Blue Eye Samurai.
22:14 You need to understand filmmaking on at least a basic level for The Room to be so-bad-it's-good, because then you're pulling entertainment value as much from WHAT happens in the movie as from WHY the directprial choices that led to it are so ridiculous.
TIL Senator Ted Cruz was a baddie in Samurai Cop.
Judges in a personal duel??? No such thing.
The light saber duels on disney are garbage and look like trashy chinese dance fighting...
