6:46 I believe in the audio commentary, they explain that Tony was indeed supposed to flip that guy, but by the end of this sequence, Tony was tired and couldn't find the energy to do it, so he tried his best to save the shot by just dropping the guy and continuing on.
One of the best rolling action scenes I have ever seen. The choreography had to be so spot-on--no room for errors on both the actors and the cameraman parts. wonder how many times they had to practice this scene--I'm sure the stunt guys wouldn't have been thrilled with multiple takes. Just running up all those stairs would have winded me.
Apparently it took them almost full day to reset the scene and it took 10 takes to get it done. But before that, they had to train someone specifically for months to carry the huge camera they needed to film the scene because it weighed so much. The regular cameramen couldn't keep up so they had to hire an American (who was bigger than the Thai's) to carry the camera, but then he couldn't keep up. So one of the Thai cameramen said 'I've got this' toughed it out and they finally got it filmed
My DT instructor at the police academy was a 4th degree black belt in aikido. He taught us a variant of the 'small circle' wrist throw, among many other modified aikido moves. In my career, I have found these tactics to be very useful and quite practical.
Yeah a lot of people like to dog on Steven Seagal and Aikido because Joe Rogan popularized the myth that anything that wasn't BJJ or Muay Thai "wasn't very effective", but in real life situations there are a lot of martial arts techniques from various disciplines that are VERY effective depending on the scenario. Small joint manipulation is especially effective, even more-so against larger people where trying to tackle or wrestle them to the ground just doesn't work. Wrist control, hand control, even finger/digit control can completely change the outcome of a situation if you know what you're doing.
ii like that you can see tony getting tired, feels more real that way rather than just some super human dude that can endure everything. Also if you want a really really good one shot hand to hand fighting scene check out the hallway fight from oldboy (2003) its on youtube :)
Fun fact :sometimes when doing these takes the actors, or stuntman actually smash into each other in full force. With movies like this the stunt director gives u 2 to 3 hours to get The fight choreography. The scene was done and 11 takes according to Scott Atkins And it was the seventh take that they used
Two uses of CGI, the door window panel didn't smash on one guys head so they digitally corrected, and the Sink, no sure what happened but they digitized that. Also, 3 takes. Also, that Steady-Cam setup is over 150 lbs with film. The hut was taken away for the guy to fall from 3 stories, then replaced for the later shot on the fourth floor.
Some other famous long take fight scenes that you could react to are: Oldboy Hallway Fight Kingsman Church Scene Atomic Blonde Stairwell Fight Daredevil Hallway Fight
Daredevil hallway fight is good. The Season 3 fight scene in the hospital or police station or whatever that's like 11 minutes long I believe was all in one take, too.
Thanks for the anecdotes, you dropped some facts I didn't know! Oh by the way (according to Corridor Crew on YT) they did 10 takes, and used the 7th take for the final cut :) Yeah, they basically did take 8 to 10 for nothing ^^"
One of my favorite falls from work was getting thrown from wristlocks. The main reason is that it flowed naturally - didn't have to force it for film, you just went with the direction and flipped. =)
Love your reaction man, I've been a fan of these movies since the early 70's, one of my favourites is from the 80's called Martial Law 2 featuring Jeff Wincott and Cynthia Rothrock, the style then I think was mostly karate with some stick fighting, any of the fight scenes will be of interest to you. Keep up the good work buddy and keep safe.
If you want to see a long one take where you can see the actor just running ragged check out Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence with him running up a parking garage
www.factfiend.com/movie-fight-scene-long-nearly-killed-cameraman/ This article has a bit more information about the whole thing but yeah about 7-8 takes and a whole day to set up each take!!! Considering it's a 4+ minute scene 8 takes is insanely impressive
They ended up having to hire and specially train a westerner for months (because the camera was so big and heavy they needed a really huge guy) to carry the camera throughout the scene. But he couldn't keep up with them so one of the Thai cameramen said screw it I'll do it! It took them 10 takes in total so whoever the cameraman was must have been a beast!
I did the warehouse fight and the one with julie estelle fighting the two assassins so far! incredible scenes both of them and can't wait to see more from this movie!
@@BurridgeMartialArts604 when you say, "The warehouse fight, do you mean the one between Iko Uwais and Joe Taslim, or the one between Joe Taslim and an entire rival gang? If you haven't done that one, it's brutal, you know like, really brutal.😁
I've heard the same thing. Apaprently Tony didn't know that HK action stars used wires and assumed they just did all their stunts with no help, so he learned how to do them with no wires
Tony Yaa is the most impressive Martial Artist of all time. Everyone will say now "whats with Bruce Lee?". Yea he was good but Tony is so flippy and destructive.
You dont throw them with a wrist lock...or well not really. You are banking on them reflexively trying to escape the pain, the only way to do that is to follow the motion you started.
These days martial arts actor/actress cannot be a one show pony with their fighting styles! Especially with big names like Donnie Yen show casing a miriad of fighting styles in his movies! That is why martial arts actors like michael jay white, JCVD and Steven Seagulls are so yesterday and if they were to produce any new movies it would goes straight to the "B" grade dvd bargain section. Audience demand more for their dollars and if you don't have a good repertoire then your days are numbered. Scott Adkins gets it and started changing things up in his new movies.
Scott Adkins is a great example! I have been watching a lot of his stuff lately and am planning on watching his art of action podcasts as well this week. I've been trying to learn his 540 kick. I think Donnie Yen is the king when it comes to doing multiple styles and showcasing them in his scenes
Not sure if I'd lump in Michael Jai White as a one art pony, he's got belts (mostly black) in Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, Kobudo, Goju Ryu, Tang Soo Do, Wushu, Tai Chi and Kyokushin.. several are various forms of karate but he has a pretty mixed background
Jesus is Lord! Believe in Him to be saved! We are all sinners in need of a savior. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God! We have all lied, stolen, blasphemed, lusted, fornicated or in some way shape or form broken God's law! There is good news though! We broke God's law, but Jesus payed our fine in his life's blood for us that we might be saved. All you have to do to be saved is humble yourself, admit you are a sinner and need God's mercy, and believe in Jesus that he died on the cross for you and rose again on the third day! For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16. I love you all and God bless you!

I love that scene, and I've always thought those guys were so polite to open the doors for Tony.

Now you know what you have to do next right? The arm break scene at the end of this movie!!
I love the movie (I own the DVD), but never heard of that background of that scene! Very cool, thank you :)
this must to be one of the greatest fight scene in martial art movies and good reaction too

Oh christ the Oldboy hallway scene is monsterous, sadly the Kingsman church scene isn't a one shot, just cleverly hidden cuts, still amazing though
@@TheAngryMoth104: Yeah, I know, Atomic Blonde has them as well.

I love that the Ronda Rousey armbar was used on a guy with a Stone Cold shirt on.
If you want to see a long one take where you can see the actor just running ragged check out Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence with him running up a parking garage
Over and over!! I couldn't do this once.
I know right!? The stamina to do this even once is insane!
This scene took 7 takes!

This article has a bit more information about the whole thing but yeah about 7-8 takes and a whole day to set up each take!!! Considering it's a 4+ minute scene 8 takes is insanely impressive
i heard 11 and it was take 7 that they went with it
So bad ass!
You can do 'Fist of Legend', Jet li. The part of the move in which he goes to the Karate school.
Just noticed that the guy he did the Ronda Rousey armbar on, is wearing a Stone Cold Steve Austin tshirt...nice little easter egg there
The wrist lock is called kotegaeshi
Jet li vs Twins kiss of the Dragon
I want to say in the director's commentary they said it was 9 takes in a row
Think of the endurance of the camera guy too
They ended up having to hire and specially train a westerner for months (because the camera was so big and heavy they needed a really huge guy) to carry the camera throughout the scene. But he couldn't keep up with them so one of the Thai cameramen said screw it I'll do it! It took them 10 takes in total so whoever the cameraman was must have been a beast!
Any fight scene from, "The Night Comes For Us!" 😁

Ong Bak series is great
ทีสำคัญคือไม่ใช้สลิงไม่ใช้ตัวแสดงแทนคับ
funny thing if I remember correctly Tony Jaa was inspired by Jackie Chan because he did his own stunts.
I've heard the same thing. Apaprently Tony didn't know that HK action stars used wires and assumed they just did all their stunts with no help, so he learned how to do them with no wires
Tony Yaa is the most impressive Martial Artist of all time. Everyone will say now "whats with Bruce Lee?". Yea he was good but Tony is so flippy and destructive.
no wires for Tony either which is wild to me

Please react indian south movie fight scene.. You will gonna blow out 🤣
