![SHANG-CHI (2021) Full Bus Fight [HD] Marvel IMAX Clip](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/gxCtHmPOqtg/mqdefault.jpg)
As a former martial artist, I'm used to mainstream American movies fumbling martial arts fight scenes. I went into Shang Chi hoping for one good fight, maybe at the story's climax. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of high caliber, well-executed fights. They just kept coming. Kudos to the hard work these pros put in to make that happen.
Eastern action meets Western film. Phenomenal!
Agreed!
It helps when they have the right team behind an actor who can do a lot of the moves themselves.
Yeah they definitely put the work in. One fight that I wish they'd gone a little bit further on was the Wenwu beats up the gang in the supper club but I think the temptation would be to push the limits and you can't really risk going too violent in a PG-13 Marvel flick so I understand
Jonathan is lying
The jacket gag is officially the coolest combat skill in the world, and definitely must be used more often in other action films.
I agree that it's the coolest combat skill, however I think having it used more often would take away from how cool it is.
Less is more.
@@austininkosi1494 i was about to say tjat
God, you people have no standards.
Don’t wana overdo it though. But yes. It kinda reminds me of karate kid (the modern version)
@@Katonato where Jackie's fighting off all the bullies by using their own momentum against them, so good!
The fact that shangchi is a part of the MCU is awesome. But the Shangchi movie can stand on its own too. Everything was great about it- music, story, character, shots, etc
Amen!!!!! 🙏🏽💪
13:24 oh man, I cannot EVEN imagine how it would feel to be told "Good job" by a legend like Michelle Yeoh, that's going to be a memory he carries with him for the rest of his life!
How awesome would it be for Corridor Crew to have her on as a guest? 🤩
@@AlkisGD i can already imagine wren slowly crumbling to the pressures of sitting next to her on the couch XD
Mad respect for dedicating an entire episode to the Shang Chi movie and the team behind it! The bus sequence was one of the most refreshing fight scenes since Winter Soldier and the crew did it justice.
Shang-Chi's fight choreography was superb. Especially to MCU standarts. However, I wonder why they didn't make a video for the Black Widow movie yet.
@@bastienlafleur5838 it was okay?
@@bastienlafleur5838 no dedicated videos for shit movies
I honestly mostly feel like all of the fight scenes of Shang chi just feels so top notch and like the next level of choreography marvel is aiming for.
I really hope they can keep up the quality. Shang-Chi gave us grounded fights with great shots.
was awful
Not being intensely disagreeable but it didn't feel that way to me. Many of the scenes felt like they were brought to the 80 to 90% level and then they just stopped.
I think the previs group maybe making everything Bland. The movie was too dark for some of the action scenes to see what was happening and in other scenes the CGI was too obvious.
Love the actor from Kim's Convenience and like the movie but felt the movie was too dark and a bit lazy. I had no interest in seeing a second time. I have seen most marvel products between two and a half dozen times.
Disney pay off!
Not in that first scene. I feel like the slow motion the way it was used took away a lot of the impact. This also happened in several other scenes.
Hey Corridor Crew! I just wanted to say thanks for bringing behind the scenes content back to the people! When dvds first came out, they used to have hours worth of extra content and special features. In the recent years, it’s been slowly going down and is almost nonexistent. These types of videos are great, and hold true to what special features used to be back in the day. I would specifically buy certain versions of movies for more content! Thanks so much for what you all do! It’s very entertaining, and hits me in the nostalgia pretty hard sometimes.
Completely agree, favorite TH-cam channel by far these guys kill it
Disney plus has a 1 hour documentary behind the scene
There is this 'Assembled' Series on Disney + since Wanda vision and all marvel projects after that. Every episode is hour plus long and shot like a documentary and full of behind the scenes.
@OLVnat & @@Bishnoistaan thanks for the reminder! I’m watching it now and Chris (one of the guests in this video) is wearing a Corridor shirt in the Assembled episode!! That’s crazy!!
@@Bishnoistaan Gonna watch it now!
What I really love is how they took the grace and elegance of movement from movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon then putting actual gravity in it. So it really doesn't feel like they're just floating with wires. You can still feel the weight.
Interesting to see Marvel pulling in indie talent. The guy who played the Death Dealer (?) and doubled young Shang Chi (iirc) is also a TH-camr.
Really? I have been wanting to know more about that guy. He had the right moves and pulled them off. Reminded me a lot of certain styles of Te and Taijutus,
It also kind suck he died so fast lol, the actor is Vietnamese and the Vietnamese Marvel fan community were a bit hype to see him doing cool stuff in the movie.
I don't think he just indie alone. Already see him with Jackie Chan before. And i think he in China kungfu movies
@@tcof9690 He did a commercial with Jackie. But the first actual theatrical film he was in was called Paper Tigers, and this is his second. He's never been in a Chinese film.
@@tcof9690 I think he did a western commercial with JCh.
Chris worked on this?! It makes a lot a lot of sense. His personal work is amazing and he’s always been so innovative in the action genre!
He shared some camera works on his youtube channel, you should check that out !
Yeah.. Same thought crossed my mind.. I was like.. Ok ok.. I see why I enjoyed the action sequence a lot..
His style is very energetic and interesting.. And I'm so glad they did that here..
I thought the low camera shot looked familiar. Good job Chris!
Yeah, he even showed up in Marvel Assembled on Disney+
Didn't he said he wanted to re create the ceiling/air knife throw shot from the Kakashi vs Obito fight.?
I was kind of reminded of that Shot in the fight on Macau 🇲🇴. Shang chi vs death dealer. Right after he steals xu xaling's necklace.
Hearing them talk about their on set collaboration and the value of having fully fledged directors working on specific aspects is so cool. As a music producer, if the clients you’re working with are also producers themselves, it’s a totally different game. Very cool to see such strong parallels in very different fields.
Same goes in my field (software development). When you have clients, or even managers, who understand how coding works, it's so much more fluid than when they don't. Nothing worse than when a client asks, "So can you just [do this thing that requires refactoring the entire application]? I know we didn't put it in the initial request, but it'll be what, one day of extra work?" Or when a project manager asks, "Can you just merge this code in? I know it hasn't been functionally validated, or even peer reviewed, and no one ran unit tests on that branch, but we're on a deadline so merge it, please and thanks."
Rest in peace, Brad Allan. What an incredible man, fighter, choreographer. Good friend and team member of Jackie Chan. He will be deeply missed. Please look for one of the best fight scenes of all time in Gorgeous, a Jackie Chan flick a bit less well known. He and Jackie tear it UP in that. Best wishes everyone
My heart drop when they mentioned “Late Brad Allen” I was like what!? I didn’t know he passed away. What a legend!
@@verynick where'd they mention "the late Brad Allan" ?
This episode feels like an extra behind the scenes you'd see on a Blu-ray. Really well done.
Hearing how involved Chris and Yung were & how collaborative Marvel/Destin were makes me respect this film 10x more. Incredible job, hoping you guys get to work on the sequel!
Do movies that lost money get sequels?
@@dbnathan5 definitely didn’t lose money
@@bobswag2353 Disney released their earnings report. If it wasn't Shangchi and Black Widow that lost money it was Black Widow and Eternals so I may be wrong but I think it was Shangchi.
@@dbnathan5 Shang Chi was a hit. It opened to #1 and was a success. I think it should be black widow and eternals.
@@dbnathan5 dumber, both black widow and shang chi are success unlike ww84 and the suicide squad, which are definitely flops. They couldn't even recover the budget they spend.
I took my nephew to see this, and he (like the little teenage jerk he is 😂) decided to see it with friends opening night, but then still ask me to wait a week to go with him "because I want to see it again with you". So a week later, we went, him having already seen it, and in the first 10 minutes, when we get to the first Li vs Wenwu scene in Ta Lo, I leaned over to him and whispered, ".......I love this movie already." The choreography, man... it is *splendid.* The Ta Lo "fluid airbending" style especially is just *so damned pretty* that I would honestly watch a supercut of this movie with just the fight scenes -- everything else cut out -- and probably still love it. Not as much, because of course the rest of the film was also amazing, but definitely would still love it.
I really enjoyed this episode. Their insights most certainly showed the importance of bridging the gap between stunt performance and film making. You can really see it in the final product. Shang-Chi was amazing! I hope that we can see a future whereby film productions let everyone shine in their own fields. Film lasts forever and I believe that so will its audiences if you allow everyone to do their thing.
It was so cool to see Andy Le in this too. Loved this movie, these guys killed it
A chubby surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!
Stop watching these awesome videos and help our Wonderboy win his next fight
In the best way possible!
I swear u I find you commenting everywhere 😂
♥ Martial Club
The choreography in Shang-Chi is so phenomenal I thought I was watching a Jackie Chan recreation, it was so spot on, what an anazing movie
SAME! IT FELT LIKE A JACKIE CHAN MOVIE WITH MARVEL CGI
The choreography was one of the worst parts. Extremely lazy, none of the hits connect, and everyone is on strings.
@@usokkithetree8738 its called dodging and they used string for jumping, ease up
None of the hits connect meaning bad choreography/direction/acting, not that a hit wasn’t GOING to connect. Hits that the movie presents as landing can very clearly be seen not connecting. Guy on the bus gets punched in the head (doesn’t connect) and then randomly jumps out the window.
The guy who did the stunt coordination used to work with Jackie Chan, also involved in the kingsman movies and a bunch more
This was by far one of the best most inspiring episodes I have watched of reactions. Thank you so much for bringing on creatives like this to share their stories and process. It’s amazing to see how much time, effort, and passion it takes to make a movie at this level. Congrats
I have gained so much respect and awe for the Stunt department from these videos. I work as a 2nd AC and I can't weait until the day I'm on a massive budget film with stunt men like this.
Hope that day comes soon for you!
This is why a great movie doesn't just show the greatness of the lead director; it highlights it but everyone involved should be attributed by it in some ways. Shang-Chi would be so different and probably not as great if these second unit directors are not involved.
After a ton of episodes, I'm still learning a lot about filmmaking. Great job, Corridor.
Shang-Chi wasn't good, so...
Shang chi wasn't great though.
@@MasDouc Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean other people don't
@@godzelda123 just because people like it, doesn't mean it was good
@@DathanNaniel Actually, that's exactly what it means. When it comes to art, there's no such thing as "objectively good" or "objectively bad"; if someone likes a piece of art, then that art is good to them. If a lot of people like the art, then it is good to a lot of people.
The choreography in Shang Chi was so slick and eye-catching. As someone who doesn't typically notice these things, the action scenes in this movie really stood out. It was almost like dancing. The jacket scene, the bus scene, the parents' scene, and the scaffolding scene are all things I will remember for a while 😅. I'm now a massive fan!
same here! I don't usually notice fight scenes specifically - but these were just so stunning
You should watch some Jackie movies. They’ve done the jacket, environment, and scaffolding in his movies. And since Brad Allen worked as part of Jackie’s team and on this movie. It would be fun seeing the inspiration.
Well, thats because you dont watch enough martial art movies. For someone who have enough martial art movies it aint that impressive.
@@NiPeMiRecenziiFilme cry more Warner Bros bot.
@@NiPeMiRecenziiFilme yep I can only imagine this is impressive to someone who has never seen a martial arts movie before. But even other Marvel projects like Winter Soldier and Daredevil were better handled.
One of the best breakdowns. Thanks for allowing them to tell their story and share their thoughts. You did a great job hosting.
This episode really tapped on the reason I personally adore this series. I know this is the exact point of the series but showing the amount of effort and time that goes into all these scenes. Showing how much work and passion is required to make someone a reality. It really makes us all appreciate the amazing work.
I love watching their videos where they go over the stunts of MCU movies. However, I wonder why they didn't make a video for the Black Widow movie yet.
5 foot (and one inch) punch!! 😂
Taking notes for your next class (video), sensei?
I'm so glad Brad was involved in this and his/Jackie's lineage carries on to the next generation of stunt artists. Shoutout Brad Allan I will never forget his fight vs Jackie in Gorgeous!
“You like white”
Brad Allan Stunt Team Forever!!
yeah, I am surprised Brad Allan is in the movie. I remember him saying that he likes off-screen than on-screen. Good for him. Always love his fight in Gorgeous.
RIP Brad (since August)
4:41 Another reason why that glass breaking might be satisfying is that it happens exactly on beat to the music.
It still blows my mind this content is free. This is incredible and both the guests brought amazing knowledge. Keep it up Corridor!!
I watched Shang chi yesterday expecting it to be normal fighting but I loved every fight scene and how cool everything looked, one of the best marvel movies in my opinion
I must agree with this, I loved this movie thoroughly
simple minds easily entertained
@@SuperFlawless2010 and you must be a mega mind person aren’t you
@@ron_sr1218 not really, just spoiled by martial arts movies that are out of this world.
@@SuperFlawless2010 Liking other martial arts movies more is fine, but saying that people who enjoyed Shang-Chi have "simple minds" is just being rude for no reason.
I was wearing raycon earbuds while watching this and decided to give an actual review. Drawbacks are that the awareness mode doesn't really do anything, they fall out while chewing, and sometimes if my head is tilted too long. But overall they're great their max volume blocks out other noises and can't be heard by people more than three feet from you, they are very durable I've dropped mine multiple times, once into a pan of water and they sound exactly the same, very comfortable, easy to use (most of the time), long battery life, and great audio. One thing you might see a lot of if you look at other reviews is that they "stop working" but this just means they're having pairing issues that can be fixed by turning them off and on, disconnecting and reconnecting, or leaving them in their case for a minute. Overall great earbuds. Also sweat doesn't effect them and they've never fallen out while exercising.
I appreciate your Review! Thank you
HEAT has one of the most iconic shootouts in cinema history.
As a huge fan of Captain America: Winter Soldier, the fight choreography of this film is definitely in par (maybe even better) than the fight scenes with cap and bucky...
I gotta give it to cap vs bucky, but shang chi is a close second forsure
To me, winter soldier was better because the choreo was less obstructed by CG. There was so much dust and desaturated shots in the final fight.
The cap/bucky fight had better choreography and story, but Shang Chi has the best marvel fight scene cinematography. It's so great to actually be able to see what's going on rather than 20 shots that are 0.5 seconds long stitched together.
@@ashina5924 Personally, not a big fan of shaky camera and quick cuts. Shang chi definitely edged winter soldier for me. Choreography just felt so fluid in this movie.
Yes
You can see Chris wearing a corridor animé shirt in the BTS on Disney+ which is dope :p.
Actors doing the talk show circuit doesn't get me excited for films or anything like that, because they're just doing a contractual obligation and aren't really invested in the interviews. I mean, hell, often most of the interviews are all the same. But this, having some of the talent that worked on the film come on and talk about it? It REALLY makes me want to watch those movies. Their positivity and passion for the project really affects me, gets me to actually want to watch things I'm otherwise not really interested in, and really makes me appreciate the picture a whole lot more. Thanks to Chris and Yung for doing this interview, because now I actually want to watch Shang-Chi. I hope for many more episodes like this.
To be fair, they are just talking stunts. I enjoyed the work put into the movie, but i can't say i really liked the pacing or the narrative all that well. The guys, even stunt directors that you see here, in the end just do a 'their bit' of the story which they get handed, and as good as fight scenes can be, for me at least, having poor character motivations for example kills that joy of watching him/her act in that world.
Massive achievement by these guys, the hard work and passion for sure bled through the screen, great film.
I remember saying this after watching Shang-Chi, this was everything Ironfist could have been, it was like a better, longer version of the warehouse fight where Luke Cage and Ironfist team up and we get a taste of Heroes For Hire possibilities. Shang-Chi was like … Black Panther beautiful, so wonderful. Thanks for story boarding, pre-vissing, coordinating, CGI’ing, and more on Shang-Chi, thank you so much, I still get chills on Bus Fight and Dragon Fight.
I loved how different each fight scene’s choreography felt really from each other but still made sense story wise. And daaaaang the the airbending fights made me so excited for the Avatar live action series fights
Shang-Chi links to 🇬🇧 Liverpool Women's Hospital 🏥 explosion 💥 (Situation Revealed)
th-cam.com/play/PLLBkSQ3fs-0bcwqiGbdwRNGb4oLnosyCU.html
I like how the glass breaking is perfectly on beat with the soundtrack at 4:42.
Finally! I've been waiting to see them break this down together since I saw Chris's Instagram posts at the premiere. It's so freaking cool that we get to see both a vfx AND stunts breakdown on this movie :D
After the fight between the father in the mother, I thought a live action Avatar the Last Airbender could totally work.
Airbending would look totally sick.
I had the exact same thought.
We already did that...
@@langitkensahaja125 I know, but this showed me it can actually look good.
The Airbending from the movie seemed slow and impractical. This was very nice and dynamic.
@@MrSirFluffy totally!
It would be okay, but I don't think it would work much better with Aang's style. What made the animation work is that the air was "colored" to be visible. Here, they're using leaves and you can see that it's not quite as crisp or clear. (It's not bad; it's just less clear than the animated Avatar fights.) Like, take Aang's finishing move on The Drill. You'd need some kind of visible effect to show that shockwave, and it'd need to clearly read as air pressure, not energy. On a constantly vibrating surface like the drill, you wouldn't have enough loose material to visually show what just happened.
It's a challenge. I'm sure some VFX person will figure something out someday, though.
These guys have the DOPEST job. I could listen to them all day. Stunt and action design is way too underrated.
I had no idea Chris worked on this! I've been such a big fan of his since those Street Fighter finisher videos so this just makes so much sense!
Loved all of this! But also want to take note of the extras in the bus scene (around 4:50): the guy filming the action with his phone, the bus driver reacting. Nice touch.
"We are only as good as they allow us to be..." might be the biggest flex I ever heard that still feels earned.
Yea loved that
Chris and Yung did an AMAZING job on SHANG-CHI!!! Hope both of them are signed onto SHANG-CHI 2!
Chris is a God at cinematography. His channel will always stick with me for the amazing things he and his team put out.
fight scenes in shang chi were so cool, they did a great job
The gun battle from Heat during the bank robbery with Robert De Niro and Val Kilmer is particularly intense. Especially the sound design, and their sense of desperation. It feels realistic.
One of the key elements that made the Heat gunfight so dramatic is that there is NO sound track added. The ONLY sounds you hear are the gunshots and cars. That had never been done before. (Or since, I think...)
I absolutely loved the High-School-project look of the Marvel figures and cutout paper vis.
It proves that the tools are less important than what you can do with them.
Nice to see some behind the scenes. I just saw Shang Chi this past Friday and its bin the best all year
3:34 completely agree with you there Niko, I just think it's a shame he felt like the script/narrative demoted him to a lesser supporting role, like, it's an origin story intended to introduce us to his character,engage us in his journey and showcase everything he is about.... surely I'm not the only one who thought there should have been more focus on him
Shang chi was a surprisingly good film. The fight scenes were actually awesome.
Yeah, I was actually surprised how much I liked the film. Didn't have high expectation, so was pleased, lol...
Yea i thought it would be like those jackie chan movies but it was EPIC! i forgot it was even marvel!
@@Backroad_Junkie Sometimes I actually prefer going in with lower expectations so I can be pleasantly supprised but not disappointed. Hopefully no way home is just as good. But I guess time will tell.
One thing I found to be really awesome was the use of visual elements to explain what was happening. Instead of someone pointing and shouting. "Hey the bus is gonna split."
What did you find caught your attention?
Well yeah, they did bring some people that worked with Jackie Chan so it paid off immensely
Everyone’s praising the choreography (which dont get me wrong is amazing) but can we please appreciate the freakin soundtrack for a moment? Shang chi’s soundtrack bangs
My theater was laughing almost every time Trevor was on screen! I'm glad I can share it with everyone! 💍x10
Nice channel! I love those audience reactions.
Thank you for all the work that goes into this show, including finding all the reference clips!
Some things about big budget movies are so informal, I love it.
That midair step-step-kick move with the rings by Shang in the fight against his dad? Just insane, so cool!
Yep! Somebody in theaters said Yo that's a Parry!
You guys should next do a Reaction video to VFX in Music videos
4:44 are we not going to talk about the cool tunnel transition? SUCH an awesome way to change the scenery lighting without forcing it to be outside in a single lighting setting.
This is obscenely AWESOME!!! Love that you managed to get these two wonderful guys to talk about Shang Chi and they gave such great insight.
Also, Niko, my wife and I also wondered about the flirty smile thing as well. lol
You should get Martial Club onto the show. They have a martial arts/ stunt choreography channel on TH-cam and the channel owner, Andy Le, was Death Dealer in Shang-Chi
They could break down both this film and Paper Tigers, and maybe some of their short films
That would be great. Andy Le also doubles for young Shang Chi during a flashback.
Just rewatched Dredd and holy crap I'd love to see how a lot of that stuff is done! It aged well too. Still looks great!
Ask Gavin Free how he did the slow mo
The minigun scene is beautiful but horrifying.
This has been by far one of the funnest and best episodes yet. I love the stuntmen react videos.
This was a privilege to watch. The closing words about passion and throughout the enthusiasm is awesome. Thank y'all 👏🙌
Shang-chi and the choreography around the fights was just amazing 🙌🏼 the whole movie was just awesome! Especially Trevor Slattery 😂🙌🏼
I thank Brad Allan for the work he did on Shang-Chi, my favorite MCU movie of all time. I am also happy that small Stuntmen from TH-cam got the chance to work on the movie, such as Andy Le aka Death Dealer
Awesome episode, great to see how excited Chris and Yung were working on this
So many greats and legends worked on this Brad Allen, Yuen Wah, Michelle Yeoh, Tony Leung, Andy Le, etc. it’s phenomenal! Eastern action meets Western film. Can never go wrong with Eastern action!
That bajiquan elbow strike while putting the jacket on was 👏👏👏
Dope seeing all the love that went into this first Shang Chi movie. Hope Shang Chi is around for a long time
The results are always amazing whenever filmmakers allow stuntmen to do what they do best.
Lol I love that Chris snuck in that UA shot.
I knew Yung looked familiar, I remember him back when he went by GakAttack and did con videos!! Im so happy to see this is where he went from there!!
Good gunfight films that predate the 2000s: you’ve already featured Hard Boiled but if there are any scenes (maybe the boat/dock shootout?) that you haven’t gone over then it’s worth a look. The Way of The Gun is another absolutely incredible gunfight movie from that era. The car “chase” shootout was cool as well as the end showdown in a Mexican brothel.
I recognized Yung from his youtube days and Rocket Jump!!! He used to go by GakAttack! So cool to see how far he has come, really awesome!
I love that Marvel brought together so many young and new people and just gave them to do whatever they think is best! I rewatched Shang-Chi a couple of times now and holy, it's so beautifully filmed movie! It takes my breath away every time!
This was so educational, the behind-the-scenes knowledge I LIVE for.
One of my all-time favorite shoot out scenes is in the movie True Romance, so many different groups in 1 room all there for different reasons, a lot going on, very chaotic!
Corridor Crew is Killing it with the reactions and other content lately! Keep Up The Good Work!!🔥🔥
RIP Brad Allan... Amazing work and it will live on forever...
The final showdown at the end of A Better Tomorrow 2 is an amazing gunfight. It’s something else.
Seeing and hearing the pride in their voices lifted my spirits and I absolutely needed it today! You all rock so much!
I was so waiting this reaction/breakdown. I remember an interview that Daniel Cretton did that the movie was influenced by so many Asian movies, the wuxia style in the fight between Shang-Chi's mom and Wenwu, Oldboy and Jackie during the bus, Jackie also during the scaffolding outside the building, Hong Kong crime films that are Tony Leung's bread and butter. It was amazing
I loved the final fight scene between Shang-chi and his father, with the contrasting neon blue and orange, set in a mostly gray/black background to make the colors really pop
Pre-2000 gunfight. The climactic gunfight from the Japanese noir A Colt is My Passport. Amazing energy, movement, and the variety of camera shots that enhance the action. A true classic
Arcane just released it's last episodes and it was awesome! I would love your guys' insight into the animation and style of Arcane.
Ha. Was about to watch ep 7 but stopped to watch this
i thought the movie would just be another marvel film but with asian stuff.. but no, it was legitimately good
it’s also kinda sad how little recognition VFX artist get in movies
I love the action figures previs. Shows a creative mind can accomplish anything.
The VFX in this movie are some of the best to date in my eyes, I've yet to see it but from what I've seen it's incredible work.
The more I learn about the filmmaking process behind Shang-Chi, the more I love this film.
As a boy from asia, I watched Jackie chan my whole childhood...... But honestly to me.... Now matter how good the choreography is in this movie, nothing beated Jackie.
Of course, no argument Jackie Chan is a whole other level. But you should take inspiration from the best.
Amazing episode guys, so cool to talk with Chris about this, his works are amazing, hoping to see him again soon in the show
"Shang Chi is proof that anime works irl"
Cowboy Bebop: "You sure about that?"
It's awesome seeing more and more industry professionals on your show. Really great way for stuntmen to talk about their careers and for viewers to get a bit more personal behind-the-scenes info on these takes.
That fight between shang chi's parents is easily top 3 fights in the MCU
Splendid! It's such a wonder of a film. It's in a class of its own in the MCU for its sheer beauty and itsclarity of visual storytelling, especially in the fight scenes. As an older fan, I love that you can see Its influences and lineage without being hit over the head with it. How wonderful to get the insights of these wonderful artists.
When that first fight started turning into a dance...goosebumps all over.
You guys should definitely make a "Directors react to bad & great plots", i'd love to watch!
Hi, this is my first time commenting on anything on TH-cam but I couldn’t resist suggesting a series of films. I have always loved the fighting in Jackie Chan films but i have always thought the action in Jet Li’s old Hong Kong films to be much more interesting.
I highly suggest the drunken final fight in once upon a time in China 3. You’d have to watch the whole film to really understand all the dynamics going on but the choreography is just so crazy.
Another scene would be the fight between Jet Li and Donnie Yen in Once Upon a Time in China 2 where they fight with a bamboo poles and Donnie pulls out a ‘cloth stick’. please check out these films for stunt work if you’ve never experienced these films and consider reacting to them. I’d love to see your reactions. I feel they are under appreciated compared to Jackie Chan’s fights.
Other amazing fight films with jet li are the Fong Sai Yuk films.
Thanks!
It's lovely to see people you follow to rise and shine
Man this episode is high level, It really raised the movie depth for me. Really glad to get know all of this details and really appreciate the essence of this art, make a movie. CONGRATS CORRIDOR
Now after hearing that Chris worked on this movie… Idk if anyone noticed the one scene in Shang chi where it was shang-chi vs death dealer and when the blade was thrown in the air, it reminded me of when Chris had mentioned before that his favorite fight was between kakashi vs obito from naruto!! I immediately gasped when I first saw that on screen!
