The OG mortal kombat movie from 1995 is a banger. No roasting will be tolerated😂
I went soft on it! But the sequel is just....WOW....
Agreed, no blasphemy on the 95 MORTAL KOMBAT tune 😂
it's just Nostalgia! 😫
@@MarcusFlemmings There is no sequel in Ba Sing Se
bro....the Harry and Sally clip randomly when I'm in my classroom on break just trying to chill, and then pulling a muscle trying to find mute LOL
HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH! Sorry!
Buy headphones you animal
@@MarcusFlemmingsHahaha, don't be sorry, its freaking awesome!
Speaking of Raiden, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance has some of the most badass over the top fights in gaming.
I'm disappointed there was no mention of Yakuza.
he might have to make an entirely separate video for Yakuza lmao
Does yakuza have much choreographed fighting in it at all? I thought it was mostly just violence lol
@@xcritic9671 yes. it has cutscenes that feature characters fighting, and even has choreographed scenes in the middle of a boss fight in the form of quick time events. you're probably thinking of heat actions when talking about "mostly violence" and you'd be right, but to me they're a great example of how over the top video game violence can get without relying on gore or ripping things apart.
He could even reference the Yakuza film that was made. Mostly sucks but Majima still is great. Additionally with the TV show coming out soon maybe wait for that so he could compare them all.
@@xcritic9671 The gameplay is just violence obviously, but the QTE sections and cutscenes have some absolutely amazing choreography.
That bar fight in Red Dead Redemption 2 is just perfect other games that has fighting I’d enjoy are Sifu, Sleeping Dogs, GTA IV, The Last Of Us 1&2, Midnight Fight Express, Uncharted and Wii Sports boxing goddamn you Matt😭😭
Cyberpunk 2077 is another recent game that has amazing melee and hand-to-hand combat.
@@chaost4544 No it's not.
@@agt_pendergast8899 yes it is.
@@chaost4544 That's an insult to games that have genuinely good combat and good games in general.
@@agt_pendergast8899 that's like your opinion man. Cyberpunk 2077 is the only first person melee and hand combat I have enjoyed. I like it more than Kingdom Come: Deliverance's 1st person combat.
I absolutely loved the end boss fight in Death stranding. The stakes, the emotions and the final payoff of beating the living shit out of Higgs in slow-mo. The dialgue is pure gold to me: "No BT's, no voidouts, just a good old fashioned boss fight... one last game over". The post fight quips, the final realisation when Higgs loses control over Amelie and gets worked on by Fragile. To me that was a perfect scene that tied the whole story together. It felt personal and satisfying and I can't get it out of my head to this day.
One good Actor i like to see in action movies is Ma Dong-seok. Almost everytime he fights, it always makes me go "Damn, Wonder if he apologies afterwards for hitting the stunt double"
Great special episode. Although I was expecting actual video game cinematics like the intro scene from Onimusha 3 that was in fact choreographed by Donnie Yen, pretty much any of the Star Wars: The Old Republic trailers, and quite a few others that I'm too lazy to name. Also that gun-fu hallway fight from Resident Evil: Vendetta which isn't from a game but is a video game adaptation and would probably be even more appropriate for this video game/movie crossover episode.
We don't talk about the abomination that is Mortal Kombat Annihilation! You can tell it was done on the cheap... even the intro is exactly the same as the first film except the addition of "Annihilation" at the end.
I do wish you had a moment to talk about the two Mortal Kombat fights that were added in post-production (Johnny Cage vs. Scorpion and Liu Kang vs. Reptile) because they are by far the best fights in the film (that and they were choreographed by Robin Shou, Liu Kang's actor who is from the same school as the likes of Jackie Chan). Liu Kang vs. Reptile is just 2½ minutes of pure adrenaline with Traci Lords' Control blaring in the background, while, for me, the Johnny Cage vs. Scorpion has an impact that really makes me wince (when Scorpion goes flying through the air and whacks his shins on a railing)! I'm glad you touched on the more modern Mortal Kombat film, that kind of misses the mark in a different way (not being a tournament and has a protagonist who isn't a game character), but tries to hint at the lore in the way when Sub-Zero is stripped down to his black undergarments to imply his future transformation into Noob Saibot (for those who don't know, the all-black wraith Noob Saibot is the original Sub-Zero from the first Mortal Kombat, while from the second game onwards, the person who takes the moniker of Sub-Zero is the original's younger brother).
Despite the 90s cheese, Mortal Kombat has a cult following and is generally well-liked among fans. After all, Lindon Ashby's wise-cracking and immature portrayal of Johnny Cage got carried over into the game, and Trevor Goddard's Australian (actually British) portrayal of Kano was so well-received that Midway actually retconned his backstory to make him Australian. And the most recent thing... Mortal Kombat 11... not only did they model Shang Tsung after his film actor, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, they even got him to reprise his role and be his voice actor too! If that's not an honour, I don't know what is!
OH MY GOD!! Please make this a new series. Ive been wanting to ask for this so badly, but i felt like you were already doing so much, this would be a hard ask. Thanks bro!
Big love!
Thank you thank you thank you for leaving in the “I’ll have what she’s having” line. That was the director’s MOTHER and the best ad lib of all time!
I didn't know it was Reiner's mum....that is epic!!
Ohhh my dude im so excited for this series. Love your videos
I played that TMNT game with my father at the arcade when I was a kid and also had it on SNES. Classics.
your narrative is fine, keep jumping around, it's very much on topic
Love this! Sometimes you just NEED someone to say it, to make sure you're on the right path - so thank you!
I would say Batinson fighting the riddler cult at the end of The Batman film is actually the better example of The Arkham Batman combat.
You missed the sweet fight between Liu Kang and Reptile! That was a good fight!
4:43 Bro sounds like he’s holding back a river of tears
HAHAHHAHHHAHHAHAH! His voice is AMAZING!
Those Drive scenes were dope.
As you said near the end of the video, one of the best feelings in a video game (and many movies) is leveling up enough and finally being able to face down and beat the big bad who you couldnt beat in the beginning. The best example of this has to be the rival type boss. You know the one, they're well... you... or a color swapped version of you but better than you in every way. So after you beat them near the end of the game after they kicked your ass without a sweat earlier on it's even sweeter. Jetstream Sam from Metal Gear Rising is a good example Baldur and Thor from the new God of War games also kind of fit the bill. But Vergil from Devil May Cry 3 is by far the gold standard of the trope, and I'm pretty sure where it properly began aswell. You need to talk about him eventually.
That MK theme song still hits so hard
Heaps of the mortal kombat songs still slap!
I remember being in second grade and waiting to get home, excited beyond belief because I knew my Mom was going to rent the Mortal Kombat movie on VHS that day lol. I loved it at the time and honestly, I still think it's pretty good for what it is and the time.
😂The Mortal Kombat soundtrack was a staple for musical katas in the 90’s. Mortal Kombat movies were pure camp.
Moonlighting and Drive? Dude, you're awesome. You're right, Loved the vid. Felt like I was watching my childhood. Your editing is awesome btw. Stream of conscious.
Massive love for this!!!
How could you miss the chance to show an Iron Chef America Chairman clip when you pointed to Mark Dacascos?
I'm glad you're not getting bothered by hater comments. I've seen a lot of TH-camrs go on angry rants at the beginning of their videos or in community posts and for me, usually someone who's just there trying to enjoy the content, these rants while understandable, are always a little offputting and they set a negative tone for me especially going into a video. Keeping it a light hearted retort and weaving it into your content is the way if you're going to address it, and you did just that, so thank you for not ranting. Anyway, having a few haters is unfortunately part of any creator, celebrity, or anyone else with a sizable audience/platform but it's also usually a good thing because it at least means your content isn't so boring that people will just ignore you and move on.
Regarding video game fights. One of the fights in a video game I rather enjoyed is in Detroit Become Human where Connor (the player) fights a 1v2 against essentially stripper androids. Controlling the fight is just a series of quicktime events, but the animation and the "camera" work are just really cool for me personally. I swear it's not because they are strippers.
My friend, amazing comment!! Love the first paragraph.
In terms of fights....I need to check out that game!
@@MarcusFlemmings Should you ever delve deeper into video games as its own series on your channel, David Cage games are their own entire rabbit hole you can dive into. He has a very distinctive cinematic style to his games with a lot of heavy choice impact. Also, fun fact: Detroit Become Human notably features Clancy Brown of Mr Krabbs and Shawshank Redemption fame!
Cant believe this guy put the Harry met Sally scene for the THIRD time this video, grow up bro
Thanks for watching!
The ending of this video is so random ... what the heck was going on?
PAHAHAHHAHAHA! Freestyling my friend!
Marcus lost it
He's the funkiest monkey there ever was!
you could totally do bad vs good video game scenes a la the movie scenes format and talk about a game like red dead redemption or cyberpunk 2077, the former of which has full on cinematics just like any other movie executed at a Hollywood blockbuster level, and the latter manages to do some really amazing things from the first person perspective all in engine while you are playing that make it pretty special in terms of the presentation
Heya Marcus! Loving this one! I highly recommend the most recent 'God of War' games for some epic fight scenes! Beyond that, 'Yakuza' and 'Judgment' have some highly stylised, yet brutal impacts (and awesome storylines).
I was waiting for you to mention Double Dragon. Woof, what a stinker! I love Drive, though, and am astounded at how unknown/under-appreciated it is.
Drive is just amazing!!!
You know how long I’ve been waiting for this? Woo I’m aboutta make a name for myself here (I wrote the same thing last video💀)
Bro I couldn’t wait for that video to come out, lessgo
It had to be done!
One of my favorite video game fights is Solid Snake Vs Liquid in Metal Gear Solid 4, it would be nice to see an analysis about it!
After I saw the title, I really hoped you would cover some actual great fighting sequences like from God of War, or MGS series, maybe some Yakuza scenes. Was a little disappointing instead, but I realise it's a first video like this and I'm still so happy to see your content expanding from just cinema territory.
God of War has to appear at some stage. So much anger and destruction to ignore it
@@b0zz1380y I was thinking more along the lines of 2018 and Ragnarok because now when Kratos fights he has so much to lose, and so these fights have many more layers to them, instead of just anger and destruction. It would definitely fit this channel.
@@caiusactinunwise1412 haven’t played ragnarok yet. I just remember the classics of vengeance after losing his wife and daughter. Having kids I can relate to the feeling of wanting nothing but revenge if I was ever tricked like that. But maybe an evolution would work too?!
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance should be mentioned. Crazy fights and scenarios, with lengthy cutscenes. Also, Senator Armstrong as a final boss... chef's kiss
Nice to see some Marc Dacascos love! Maybe some of his work in Brotherhood of the Wolf would be worth looking at in the series?
One of my all time favorite game attacks is Akuma from SF4 when he goes “DIE ONE THOUSAND DEATHS!”
A great addition to the Bad vs Good fights series. Using movies and TV for context allows us to understand them. While modern games have greater graphical fidelity, including older games is great.
I think a good video game fight worth discussing, is the battle of Kaer Morhen in the Witcher 3. The sword duels in that game were very well choreographed, and it seems as if everything was thought to finally reach its pinnacle in that battle.
I love your videos so much. The storytelling is insane
BIG love!!!
6:40 not expecting a Kumg Fury feature 😄. well done
let me know when you can find a video theme suitable for some Danger 5 analysis
I just love your channel. Carry on
I just came to think of a movie which could potentially be analysed, that being the movie hardcore henry. While it mainly features gunfights it does also include some melee fights most notably the "don't stop me now" scene. With it being from a first person perspective it might be fun to look at.
there is a fight scene from the movie meals on wheels with jackie chan and another martial artist that is just beautiful
God Of War! The original one is so damned good. The growth of Kratos is second to none. And the build up of abilities from the first fight to fighting Ares is epic. Such a fun game.
The best final boss fight in the last decade (at least my favourite) Uncharted 4’s sword fight is just soooo good
This is a great side quest
I think when it comes to video game fights, what makes them _good_ is mainly how it feels to play it. It should give you that feeling that, if you're not in tune with the game mechanics and the rhythm of the boss, you are just getting demolished. But as you learn it better, it starts feeling doable. Until, finally, you hit that flow state and you can counter everything they throw at you and get your hits in. For games to separate themselves from movies as an art form, they should focus on doing what movies can't - making _you_ feel like you're executing it. Any game that simply makes you watch two characters fight, and just have you press the button when it tells you to, is a _bad_ video game fight.
With that said, some of the best video game fights I have played were in 2D Metroidvania games. Such as the final boss of Nine Sols, Radiance from Hollow Knight, or the archer boss from Prince of Persia the Lost Crown. Also, the second last boss in Elden Ring is pretty great. (The last boss is "meh", and just a lot of running around.)
The final boss for Uncharted 4 is definitely one of the highest stake fights, especially for a more 'realistic' game. Most of the set pieces though are really great too.
I love the videos and keep up the good work! You've really opened my view on what makes movies good and what to look out for.
I feel like 1800's western inspired games such as Red Dead Redemption would work great for a comparison in good movie fights vs bad movie fights and scenes as a whole. They could also be used in a movie scenes category as there are some deep and meaningful scenes in some westerns (like Django) and in those games as well.
Another suggestion could be to incorporate scenes and character development form the Assassins Creed Series and comparing certain scenes and fight scenes to movies in the similar genre eg. Assassins Creed Black Flag and Pirates of the Caribbean.
Racing games like NFS Underground could also be covered as they can feature high stakes and high adrenaline moments which can really attach you to the scene.
Just throwing a few suggestions out there...
On the topic of video game movies, the action of Boy Kills World was very much inspired by video games. It's also really good and you should watch it because it barely made any money because lionsgate forgot to market it despite it being genuinely good
Def Jam Fight for NY was one of the greatest fighting games on the PS2, next to Fight Night 2004
Although the fight cutscenes and gameplay of Metal Gear Rising Revengence is a bit ridiculous, I think you would love the action and sword fights that happen within the game. Would love to see you cover it.
Here for the inevitable Sifu hallway fight
The journey to the west tv show is totally cheesy, but I love it, and the music is awesome
Hactually, Mortal Kombat wasn't the first fighting game that involved gore kills.
There was a game released in 1987 on a host of 8-bit home computer platforms called Barbarian: The Ultimate Warrior, a 1v1 sword combat game, where there was a one-shot kill move that involved cutting your opponents head off.
Love this!!!!!
kung fury and kung fu hustle are the greatest pieces of media today.
Its interesting to me how all stuff related to wukong has great fight scenes
You should definitely check out the Fight between Kratos and Baldur from God of War (2018). One of the most badass boss fights in gaming
Hey, I loved the MK2 movie! The part when Scorpion said "SUCKERRRRRS" and jumped forwards back into a portal, was peak cinema
Edit: Devil May Cry seems like a no-brainer, create-your-own insane choreography + some of the crispiest (and cheesiest) cutscenes in the business
Aaaaah.... Kung Fury, Shaolin soccer, Kung-Fu Hustle.... I see you are a man of culture
Hahaha!
This side dish tastes great. Seconds, please !
Do Batman vs Deathstroke in Arkham Origins
Ah, I need to check it out!
the Rocksteady Batman games are unironically one of the best portrayals of the caped crusader ever made.
God of War 2018 the first fight against Baldur near Kratos' cabin would be a cool fight to dissect.
Especially since it's literally in the thumbnail
4:55 ninja moment
I would honestly love to see you cover some of the fight scenes in Pacific Rim
The Yakuza series has some incredible and brutal hand to hand action in its cutscenes, gameplay and most importantly heat actions and I genuinely don’t think you can get better sword action in the video game market than in Sekiro
lol you just got me to watch kung fury and it was amazing
Nice to see Sifu here, a Kung Fu masterpiece. Everybody who has a love for the genre should check it out. Absolver was great as well, but it relied on multiplayer so its hard to get into.
I love SIFU!
Gotta put the final fight between Arthur and Micah from Red Dead Redemption 2 in as a good video game fight. I’d also put in any of fights from Baldur’s gate 3, Especially the final fight.
Bruce Willis and the martial arts chick fighting in Live Free or Die Hard.
You should definitely do a series of best movies speeches I know you have a lot of things on your plate but just a suggestion
Now I want you to rate video game cutscene fights.
Drive was an awesome film. It was like Rush Hour but arguably better imo.
Nobody tell him about the Gun-Fu fight from Resident Evil Vendetta
My favourite fight in a video game is the final fight in The Last Of Us Part 2. It's extremely visceral and is quite uncomfortable to watch because you don't really have a routing side which makes it really emotionally tense.
If we're talking about video game fights, i hope you'll cover RE4's Krauser vs Leon fight, both the original and the remake
Marc was in Brotherhood of the Wolf too!
Drive blew me away first time I watched it. RIP Brittany Murphy
can’t talk about fighting games without mentioning the souls genre
If we're talking about great game fights and fight scenes we have to talk about Sekiro
I do hope you cover the Yakuza series, Judgment and Lost Judgment games for Action Sequences and QTEs in a future video.
Never thought i'd live the day...
In terms of bang for your buck, I'm not sure anything can compete with One Finger Death Punch.
Just when I feel like your channel has peaked, you find a new way to impress me with the format of your videos 😅
Lost Judgement by RGG Games has a ton of really impressive and fun choreography! Have a look at “When Yagami becomes Jackie Chan” for a really fun cutscene.
Final Fantasy Advent Children has three fantastic fights with Tifa in the church; the entire party versus Bahamut, and my favourite: Cloud’s Omnislash at the end of the film (especially the European version)
It probably borders on breaking the fighting game equivalent of “no guns” but some of the Eikon fights in Final Fantasy 16 just have incredible spectacle and a stunning score. The ending battle is so damn satisfying, as cheesy as it is with the title drop. In general Final Fantasy has some incredible stuff with the limit breaks and Sephiroth’s crazy Supernova move.
Is this a game? When Yagami becomes Jackie Chan?
@@MarcusFlemmings Oh no sorry, it’s just the name of a TH-cam video which shows the cutscene in the game ‘Lost Judgement’! Those games are very long so it’s kinda hard to refer to specific moments haha! I’ll try and link it here but I’m not sure if TH-cam allows links:
@@MarcusFlemmings th-cam.com/video/9Xg70bX7JW4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oZ7HIWp_SmyM46Oh
Here's a suggestion: These are not really movie-like fight scenes but I recommend checking out some of CheeseYoni's Tekken Choreography work.
I'm not sure if you're still checking comments on this video, but a game you should really check out is absolver, they have great fighting animations and let you choose what style of fighting you'd like to do. The developers also made sifu. Sifu is also great in the fact that they reference great fight scenes in movies like the raid or oldboy.
I need to check it out, I've heard of it but heard it was a primitive version of Sifu :)
I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS!!!
I WISH I WAS AS FAST AT MAKING VIDEOS AS YOU!!!
Doing video game fights? Let's add kaiju fights to the to do list. Kong '33 double legged a t-rex.
Exanima has great sword fights, with realistic physics. The swords doen't magically slash right through your enemy, it hits hard. You can get some real brutal hits in. Kindom Come deliverence is another good more realistic one. I don't really like the flashy but unrealistic boss fights that seem so popular these days.
you have got to check out the fright scenes from brotherhood of the wolf!
This is a neat cocnept!
10:35 you are literally spoon feeding us straight forward easy to understand content how are you pretentious at all? 😂 Also excited for more video game fights. If hasn't been mentioned check out the knife fight in both Re4 and the remake.
Hardcore Henry is legit a FPS Movie. I think you’ve partially covered it before
I have :))
van damme's street fighter will always be the best movie game adaptation inn my opinion.
The silly re cg movie fist-gun fight better be here
Okay here we go some of the bar fight scenes and just fist fighting in general is great in Red Dead Redemption two, Kratos vs baldur and Kratos vs Thor among other god of war fight scenes are good, ghost of Tsushima has some great fighting gameplay too, if you look up brutality on yt look at some of his blade and sorcery or bone lab vids they have some pretty good fight scenes, and I’m sure you’ve heard of these but some of the fighting cutscenes in mk10, mk11 and mk1 are good, also the reveal trailers for mk have some great fight scenes.
asuras wrath, that game is innsane
The voice acting for the mortal kombat movie is better then I thought
Pahahhaa!
(Just started the video)
"Please do Asura's Wrath. Please do Asura's Wrath"
You should 100% try the Yakuza saga, I'd recommend the first Yakuza 0 long fight, but if you want to go for the fancy and best fight, go for the final boss of like a dragon garden: the man who erased his name
