There was an episode of the Original Series where the crew was hit with a contagion that made them act like they were all drunk. Sulu ran around shirtless and challenging everyone he encountered to a fencing match. Well played, writers. Well played.
We see Sulu play with a fencing sword for about two minutes in a SINGLE episode of the original series. So let's take that one thing about Sulu and turbocharge it and make him a super ninja, because reference.
Yea. George takei suggested sulu attacks with a fencing sword, claiming it was 1 of his fav hobbies. Then he had to learn the basics in fencing before that episode called "the naked time"
and takei was the one who asked that it be a fencing foil instead of a samurai sword because the samurai sword would be too stereotypical. yet here in this modern movie, it's a samurai sword
what rivalry between Kirk and Sulu? the very few times sulu spoke anything other than "aye aye captain" in TOS he was friendly to everyone including kirk
I don’t give a damn about that scene in Beyond. That could’ve just as easily been his brother and niece that he was visiting. The way he greeted them, especially his supposed husband, didn’t suggest that they were his husband and daughter.
0:42. I'll give those enemies their due, they fought generally fair considering they had pistols they chose not to use, instead fighting with melee weapons.
Finally Sulu gets some genuine action. There are thirty years of directors and writers that owe Mr. Takei an apology. MrTimeControl: I have one question. Why would somebody click on a video of a segment from a movie he hates? I'm genuinely curious.
It’s a good thing all Star Fleet officers spend 10 hours a day training mixed martial arts and somehow still have time to become masters of science and space exploration.
I doubt it is daily training for most people but just regular training. With Sulu, it is likely that fencing was a passion of his so he mastered it on his own time (much like people now go to the Firing Range to become proficient on using firearms).
It still annoys me that at 1:46 , Kirk gives Sulu his dangling left hand and in the next cut, their right hands grab each other. Otherwise, cool scene.
@@davidminor4213 True; I think if JJ had gone into Star Wars trying to make Star Trek, he would have made marvelous movies. You know, aim high, hit low. And when he tried to make Star Wars movies... well, the results speak for themselves.
@@campbelldowler1396 eh, personally I always had low expectations for the sequel trilogy. It's not about JJ or Johnson (who really is a good director, i.e. Knives Out) it's the fact the story ended in ROTJ. Period. Anakin is redeemed, Luke rebuilds the order, Han and Leia marry, everyone lives happily ever after. Oh waitaminute! Of course Luke would be cynical in his old age, still turned out better than his dad. Of course, Han and Leia wouldn't work out, I mean it's Han and Leia. Of course, no one lived happily ever after because that's not how life works. The ultimate end to every single story is ..... everyone dies. That's exactly why it's so important to know when to wrap it up. By their very existence, the sequels ruin the happy ending of ROTJ. So what did you realistically expect?? Notice that Disney does make good SW stories when they stay away from the Skywalker family tree. This is why! There's no more stories to tell, it's just dragging it out now. Imagine if Gene Rodenberry never moved on from Kirk & co. Sure, there's been crap, but there would be no Picard, Data, Worf (underrated character), Borg, etc. We didn't know it then, but we didn't need season 4, we needed TNG! Repeat: the sequel trilogy was doomed no matter what
Cont. > I liked this film because there were still emotional stakes, still complex characters and those relationships between them that we love, but the added badassness meant that Star Trek finally once again had a reason to be set in space!
In 2125, a law passed in France forcing every citizen to take up gymnastics due to a steady decline in interest of the Olympics with more extreme sports like orbital skydiving on the rise. This would lead to the combination of performing and competitive sports, like fencing and gymnastics, purely to deliver the modern audience what they wanted to see.
What I always liked about Nero's ship is that is just a mining vessel that been retrofitted into superweapon, which he managed to pull off by simply getting ahold of some strange matter. In fiction, doomsday weapons are usually ready made weapons. Plus its nice that they still use parachutes 23rd century, don't see that much in sci-fi very often, usually its some anti-grav device instead.
I think they did a good job with the reboot and its still growing up there is a lot to come. Star Trek was about to vanish so im glad they not just letting it die.

@@KneelB4Bacon No, they made him good at fencing, which many people are...
@@neomp5 true. Though to be fair, a fencing sword wouldn’t work in this situation. He needed a sword that could slash the cords.
Totally laughed at the "Fencing" response when asked about combat training, totally cheered when he pulled out his sword
Yes, that was the moment I started having fun enjoying the movie and picked Sulu as my favorite.
too bad its not anything like fencing that he's doing.
Too bad they didn't include that scene. That scene was better than the actually fencing scene
Yep
Gotta get those extra curricular for college applications 😅
I'll be honest, John Cho really opened up as someone who can be a bad ass!
which is why white america should cast more asians in big roles
Yeah, if he had been cast as Spike Seigel in 2009, I would have liked it....not so much when he's middle-aged 11 years later :/
Like his warning to Kahn in Into Darkness, he'd make a great Capt. Sulu.
@@unclejoaquin White, Black or whatever man, your stuck with the rules unless you make your own game.
@@vishaansingh1019
He looks pretty young for his age. Probably wouldn't take a lot of makeup or de-aging to make him look the part
My only complaint of this scene is that Sulu really should finish off the last Romulan with a roundhouse kick off the platform.
It should have been a fencing pierre...
"I CAME IN WITH A SWORD AND I PLAN TO USE IT"
It was perfect
But that its not Sparta lol
Kirk: so what training do you have?
Sulu: fencing
.
.

Sulu: what about you?
Kirk: helmet boxing
Sulu dominates the fight!
Chicken Mike
Kirk's still young, he isn't the brawler shatner was quite yet.
And he never will be
Sulu is such a badass
I love JJ's camera work. I love the look of the effects. I love the mixture of the camera work and the effects.
It all looks so... *REAL*
except for those gotdang lens flares.
The shaky Camera is annoyingly
So you wanted an action movie?
@@campbelldowler1396 I want my sci-fi to look real, and not too 'majestic'.
@@Keichwoud357 Go make your own crummy shaky cam armature movie! I want to actually watch a professional movie.
I like that JJ basically gave the rivalry between Kirk and Sulu in The Original Series the finger with Sulu’s undying loyalty to his captain.
That was cool to see.
Rivalry is one thing but letting your captain die is another ballpark of psycho
what rivalry between Kirk and Sulu? the very few times sulu spoke anything other than "aye aye captain" in TOS he was friendly to everyone including kirk
John Cho makes an amazing Sulu.
I don’t give a damn about that scene in Beyond. That could’ve just as easily been his brother and niece that he was visiting. The way he greeted them, especially his supposed husband, didn’t suggest that they were his husband and daughter.
I hope we see more of Sulu’s switchblade-katana. That thing is cool!
John Cho as Sulu was so badass here.
I am a 49yr old star trek fan...
This scene (and movie) truly won me over. Possibly best modern sequel of past films!
You know, I always thought John Cho was a pothead but he's rockin' the shit in this one!
it's a movie, he and everyone else is an actor
Wait, he’s a pothead?
@@georgeofhamiltongo and watch “Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle”.

@@zodlord5669 this was a documentary, filmed in real time.
0:31 That's the sword I wanted to invent.
Right? So convinient to carry around.
Did you invent it yet?
Although the uploader didnt show this part of the movie
The Red Shirt guy died for nothing in this scene
LOL
Yeah that guy had to be an idiot
@@rexlumontad5644 It's ok, he had to get to his next job anyway, Knight-Captain of Kirkwall.
That's what they're there for!
No matter how bad this or Cowboy Bebop was, John Cho is one of the best stage fighters out there today!
"If you test me, you will fail"
Best quote of the movie haha
This is what Prime Sulu was fantasizing about in “Naked Time”
Sulu is such a bad ass!
Sulu is a total badass I love it
Sulu Jedi lol
The face he made at 1:32 had me rolling
Harold, welcome aboard. You're officially our new Sulu. Good to have you.
0:42. I'll give those enemies their due, they fought generally fair considering they had pistols they chose not to use, instead fighting with melee weapons.
Finally Sulu gets some genuine action.
There are thirty years of directors and writers that owe Mr. Takei an apology.
MrTimeControl:
I have one question. Why would somebody click on a video of a segment from a movie he hates? I'm genuinely curious.
I don't understand how any human can fight Romulans, when they have literal super-strength compared to us
It’s a good thing all Star Fleet officers spend 10 hours a day training mixed martial arts and somehow still have time to become masters of science and space exploration.
Don't forget, they're also all young and beautiful.
I doubt it is daily training for most people but just regular training. With Sulu, it is likely that fencing was a passion of his so he mastered it on his own time (much like people now go to the Firing Range to become proficient on using firearms).
I think the sword was the coolest aspect about this fight.
0:33 Now that is what you call a Switch Blade
Because seeing an opportunity to end a fight gives a 20% strength boost.
i'll get deeper into Star Trek if I see more of this sword
even the future they did not forget to use the katana
0:37 That's the moment when Sulu/John Cho became my hero. 😍
0:53-0:57 is my fav part. camera work+music+action=perfect
the look on that romulans face at 1:30 😨 "Oh Woaf!" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It still annoys me that at 1:46 , Kirk gives Sulu his dangling left hand and in the next cut, their right hands grab each other. Otherwise, cool scene.

Me lol
Me XD
Good. You don't limit yourself. The world needs more people like you. That is all.
George Takei would've kicked all their asses with his fencing sword.
Thats way more than fencing...
It's future fencing 😁
Its HEMA fencing not Olympic fencing.
@@algomez8563 lol that's what I was thinking.
Wished we have that.

Modern for them.
It's in the ADVANCED class. You just haven't gotten that far yet!
Since when was Beatie Boys Classical Music? It's the future.
Now the only thing that will make this scene is the phrase OH MYYY
I don't know why, but i suddenly want J.J. Abrams to direct a Power Rangers movie lol
This is like what, third time he's hanging from something in the whole movie?

The musical cues reminiscent of the classic TOS battle music is a pretty great touch
Yes because it makes absolute sense for only one team member to have charges to destroy a weapon that is jeopardizing an entire planet.
Love this film. Way better than the sequel.
Kirk:What kind of training do you have
Sulu:Fencing
Me:Season 1 Episode 4 The Naked Time anyone
This whole segment was badass from the jump from the Enterprise to this fight on the drill.
Gotta love the transporter at the end of the sequence.... still love this whole scene.
@@LaurenGlenn Yes
I agree, but I really liked it when he got to be the captain temporarily
You'd think that they'd have better parachutes by then...
Not enough Sulu in Star Trek Into Darkness
So this is our Spike Spiegel now...
Red alert, this is not a drill!
oh wait.. yes it is.
That music that stay in your head
Don't piss of Sulu lol, and damn John's good with a katana and has nice moves
In the future.... Everyone will carry a sword
@@lvlc6023 That and blasters for ranged work.
"Gimme your hand, cmon! ファイト～いっぱ～つ" shouts gen X Japanese me
Fantastic. Only a jeep could stop that.
Damn shame we never got to see Jon Cho's Sulu in action like this again...
Claims to know fencing. Whips out a katana
I think they did a good job with the reboot and its still growing up there is a lot to come. Star Trek was about to vanish so im glad they not just letting it die.
Nice sword
Mr. Sulu
At least he gets to be a total badass for a short time.
Dang Sulu, ya got some sick moves.
the guy who prevented a fight from starting in the first place.
Good cinematography
It’s Star Trek cinematography, my friend.
@@multiverse_media2023 what does it mean?
The final romulan almost looks more like a TOS klingon with that facial hair.
Kirk was dodging ugly's boot stomps for like 20 minutes before Sulu finally wandered over to cheap shot the guy with a katana through the back...
Fencing in the present is badass.
That poor bastard that Sulu fries is played by Damion Poitier. He is the man who portrays THANOS. We'll be seeing more of him soon.
they really gave sulu a kanata, about 40 years after the original show avoided this mistake
hopefully they're friendlier than their original counterparts on and off screen.
This was a great scene.
RIP guy who played Chekov
This really beats seeing prime universe Sulu (with a non- functional phaser) chased by a samurai. ⚔️
Great gadget and timeless scene,,, a folding sword!!!!
I bet in this scene they were upset they couldn't use lightsabers😂😂😂😂
They said in the movie that Nero's ship was dampening their sensors and weapons, they couldn't fire a shot.
Im ready to kick some Romulan Blankity bleep.

He was also the Chief Engineer, so it makes sense that he had the charges.
List of people to screw with.
1. Anyone else
2. Sulu.
that sword sulu has... I have been imagining it even when I have never seen this damm movie
Say what you will but this is the film that got me interested, without this I wouldn't have watched such greats like Wrath of Khan and First Contact
sulu is my fav character
Did anyone else notice sulu had to brush his hair back before fighting
Harold... NICE MOVES MAN - Kumar
Sulu like a boss.
Sulu, straight savage!
Yes i know, and that is probably what they referenced here. But he collected antique weapons......not ran around with a foldable cyber ninja sword.
