You know a training scene is strong when it makes you want to get up and start kicking and punching along with the characters. I still think Kung fu panda is the best example but I see your point.
The whole trilogy was made with such an open love for kung fu movies, they didn’t shy away from looking cheesy at times and that’s what make moments like this so genuine and engaging.
And I like how Kung-fu Panda even incorporated both montage techniques in their trilogy Student-Master dynamic: Po training with Shifu in Kung-fu Panda 1 Hero-Villain dynamic: Po and Shen's training montage being juxtaposed together in Kung-fu Panda 2
The training montage is probably the most satisfying part of a sports or action movie. It's the mental tromploi of achieving months of works in minutes.
Stallone's influence on modern filmmaking is deeply underated. He deserves a more serious critical appraisal without the prejudice of politics or personal attacks.
The training montage in the film "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" (Run Milkha, Run) of Bollywood, based on the story of Indian athlete, Milkha Singh, starring actor Fahran Akhtar is one of my favourite.
That is the best one yet. Showed a story in itself within the training. Showed his weakness yet at the same time will power and determination. Complimented by equally chilling music and lyrics.
Now I know why I didn't lose weight the last two years: I should have been filming a training montage to document my transformation into badassness! But seriously I think this might be a good idea for a gym - "Join our one year program and at the end receive a custom training montage."
Plus the montage adds to the plot and character development. Donny sees that the whole hood supports him and a sick Rocky looks outta the window. Donny embraces his name and is ready for the fight. I'm getting chills just by writing this. Damn what a great movie!
Montage! (such a great word, and these clips always remind me if that South Park episode where Stan has to train and they make a song about training montages)
There is also the World of Warcraft episode and the, ahem..."training" montage as they slowly build up their online characters while simultaneously getting fatter themselves.
I loooove this channel, pls never stop producing these kind videos I love the voice, the editing (insanely good pacing), the music (always so satisfying) the examples and the story itself its just perfect! I can‘t but watch every god damn video hundreds of times. This one was one of my favourites, but my number one still is, the analysis of the opening scene of inglorious bastards. No need to mention that its one of my absolute favourite movies😅 Keep it up lovin it💪🙏
Excellent video, you guys never dissapoint in the quality, btw will you guys do videos about the mental resistance of heroic characters and examples of how to do them and main mistakes to avoid?
Great video. You missed the training montage from 'The 36th Chamber of Shaolin' which is one of the best I feel but all the ones you showed to illustrate the techniques were stand outs
Yes! I think I might have hit mark for my training montage “Hearts on Fire” on my channel! You gotta give it all you got when it comes down to the wire!
There's a training montage in 1971's HANNIE CAULDER. It juxtaposes Raquel Welch lifting heavier and heavier rocks with the assembly of a custom gun for her to exact her revenge. My jaw dropped when I watched it, because I thought musical training montages began with ROCKY in 1976. It would be interesting to know what the first training montage was.
Plenty of training montages in most military movies so WW2 films (of the era or shortly thereafter) would include 'early' training montages. Maybe not all WW2 era films but certainly those that follow the 'raw recruits become a unit to undertake X" story lines.
Very nice video Studiobinder!!🤩🎥 But in all honesty, I believe some of J.C Van Damme's training montages should've been here. I mean, some of them are glorious and much more deserving than "Kill Bill 2 training montage"?? Come on now.
I would really like to see a Superhero/ powers training video. And how its been done and how to make it original. I’m writing a superhero script and I have no Idea how to write a interesting powers training montage. Please do a video on it!
Bruce Wayne training in BVS,it doesn't need to be funny nor motivational,it sometimes can e filled with hatred and a sense of awareness on a greater threat
@@StudioBinder Actually that montage shows a lot about bruce wayne/batman's character. Determination( His heavy lifting, pushing was a sign of how he determined he was to kill superman or die trying. Well the training paid off in the warehouse.) Perseverance Preparation( He studied superman's physiology and prepared the lead pellets so those could be used to distract him, even preparing kryptonite pellets and a spear while also studying how the mineral affects the man of steel.) He is a strategist. It was shown in the beginning of the film that he was studying about him a lot to find out ways to defeat him.
@@StudioBinder Empire wasn't a prequel, but original trilogy, and yes, there was a montage with Yoda teaching Luke how to use the force, levitate rocks, do flips and so on. BTW, this channel is currently one of my favorites. I've been learning so much about film. Keep up the great work.
John wick 3 has best prepration or can say similar to trainings scene with parallel scenes of buying suits,guns, map etc. U should definitely make video on this. John wick is one of the best action film series ever made. 💯
Is there any examples of a type of reverse training montage? Where the characters start off well but then things kind of peter out at the end as a result of too much stain or other forces at work? I can't think of one example from a film myself, but if there is I'd love to see it.
You missed the funniest and most meta training montage of all time: TEAM AMERICA epic song "Montage" [Verse 1] The hour's approaching to give it your best And you've got to reach your prime That's when you need to put yourself to the test And show us a passage of time [Chorus] We're gonna need a montage (Montage!) Ooh, it takes a montage (Montage!) [Verse 2] Show a lot of things happenin' at once Remind everyone of what's goin' on (What's going on) And with every shot, show a little improvement To show it all would take too long [Chorus] That's called a montage (Montage!) Ooh, we want a montage (Montage!) In anything, if you want to go From just a beginner to a pro You need a montage (Montage!) Even Rocky had a montage (Montage!)

You know a training scene is strong when it makes you want to get up and start kicking and punching along with the characters. I still think Kung fu panda is the best example but I see your point.
Kung Fu Panda is easily the best imo that film doesn’t get enough credit for how genuinely well made it is
The whole trilogy was made with such an open love for kung fu movies, they didn’t shy away from looking cheesy at times and that’s what make moments like this so genuine and engaging.
It should get you hyped!
came down to this section to say the same
And I like how Kung-fu Panda even incorporated both montage techniques in their trilogy
Student-Master dynamic:
Po training with Shifu in Kung-fu Panda 1
Hero-Villain dynamic:
Po and Shen's training montage being juxtaposed together in Kung-fu Panda 2
The training montage is probably the most satisfying part of a sports or action movie. It's the mental tromploi of achieving months of works in minutes.
Yessssssssss, I love the training part in sports/action movies as well! Would you mind sharing your favorite movies please?
Great application of controlling time with editing
Stallone's influence on modern filmmaking is deeply underated. He deserves a more serious critical appraisal without the prejudice of politics or personal attacks.
He's been a part of many great films!
Studio binder team, thanks for all this teaching, you are all the best, really appreciate it.
They are amazing for providing these for free
Happy to help!
@@StudioBinder same, yalls work plus save the cat (which you guys introduced me to) has taken my education to a whole new level. I owe you guys big
I'd love a video on heist preparation (or plan exposition) vs. how is executed! Like expectation vs. reality in a movie and how to keep it dynamic
Thanks for the suggestion!
The training montage in the film "Bhaag Milkha Bhaag" (Run Milkha, Run) of Bollywood, based on the story of Indian athlete, Milkha Singh, starring actor Fahran Akhtar is one of my favourite.

damnnn. delete before someone else steal this idea lol
Way better than a before/after pic
My favorite training montage is Creed (2015), because it honors the original Rocky montage while adding it’s own flavor to the franchise.
Plus the montage adds to the plot and character development. Donny sees that the whole hood supports him and a sick Rocky looks outta the window. Donny embraces his name and is ready for the fight. I'm getting chills just by writing this. Damn what a great movie!
@@ayby17 Me too.
It's a great one for sure
When it hits those familiar beats it's SOOOOO GOOOOD, and it earned them
One of the Best Channels on TH-cam!!
🙏
Montage! (such a great word, and these clips always remind me if that South Park episode where Stan has to train and they make a song about training montages)
Hmm, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have made THE montage parody, but it wasn't on South Park - Team America! We need a montage!
Team America: World Police did something similar!
There is also the World of Warcraft episode and the, ahem..."training" montage as they slowly build up their online characters while simultaneously getting fatter themselves.
Studiobinder is a MASTER & Iam their APPRENTICE
Each episode is very useful
💯
I love how you include Rei traning montage as an bad example when putting along all this movies. Great work! 👏
What to do and what not to do ;)
I loooove this channel, pls never stop producing these kind videos
I love the voice, the editing (insanely good pacing), the music (always so satisfying) the examples and the story itself its just perfect! I can‘t but watch every god damn video hundreds of times.
This one was one of my favourites, but my number one still is, the analysis of the opening scene of inglorious bastards. No need to mention that its one of my absolute favourite movies😅
Keep it up lovin it💪🙏
Love it! Will keep them coming :)
It's Amazing how Inspiring, Training Montage are. They make the Movies Entertaining to watch. True Entertainment. 👏👏👏👏👏👍
One of the best type of scenes!
My most favorite channel for filmmaking ,,,learnt a lot from this channel
More to come 👍
7:41 Y'all really snuck Steven Seagal in there 💀😂
Amazing content as always!! :D
Had to include sensei 💯
yo the rocky edits on the matrix in the intro were very fly
Side note:
Congratulations on your journey to 1million subs. You are one of the reasons I started to love cinema.
Thanks for joining us on the journey :)
Clicked on this solely to check that Wet Hot American Summer was included. Thumb's up.
We got you :)
The training montage in Fighter in the Wind is one of the best I've seen
Excellent choice 💯
Can't wait for a training montage in a film about a professional eater ... especially in the "Master & Apprentice"-constellation
haha that would be an all time classic
7:37 - I'd never noticed the subtle depth-of-field effect on that staff from Mulan!
Good eye!
Excellent video, you guys never dissapoint in the quality, btw will you guys do videos about the mental resistance of heroic characters and examples of how to do them and main mistakes to avoid?
Our positive character arc video might be helpful for you th-cam.com/video/CS1QkWSnP_o/w-d-xo.html
That's what I was waiting for
Hope we did you justice 😂
Nothin' like a good training montage to start the day! Breakfast of champions.
That's what we're here for!
For rousing inspirational soundtrack - Chariots of Fire
The best ✔
The training montage from the 36th chamber of shaolin is my favourite
Great video as always. Please do a new video in the Directing style series.
Who would you like?
@@StudioBinder Sergio Leone
Hot rod and van Damme lol love it
Classics!
Great video. You missed the training montage from 'The 36th Chamber of Shaolin' which is one of the best I feel but all the ones you showed to illustrate the techniques were stand outs
Appreciate the feedback!
You guys should bring Southpaw (2015) with Jake Gyllenhaal. It has a great training montage. As always, you guys at Studiobinder are the best!!!
We used Southpaw in the video!
I'd say the sequence in the Memoirs of a Geisha, with a master and apprentice, and failures, and the following success
Yes! I think I might have hit mark for my training montage “Hearts on Fire” on my channel! You gotta give it all you got when it comes down to the wire!

Somebody, somewhere, actually mapped out Rocky's path through the city during that montage. Turns out he ran something like 30 miles.
The fact Team America didn't get a shoutout is borderline criminal 😂
We did it in our other montage video! th-cam.com/video/29xvA9Ly7IQ/w-d-xo.html
My latest favourite training montage is the one in moneyball
Nice, what do you like about it?
How about the “becoming a Geisha” scenes in Memoirs of a Geisha? It’s something between a make over and a training montage.
we need a under the silver lake analysis!!!
I think Kung Fu Panda (2008) has a perfect example for master and apprentice technique.
It's a great example!
As a content viewer, i think second thumbnail Iteration was better, because it showed more varied movies, so i was interested to click
Appreciate the feedback!
Best Training montage ever - Rocky 1
All time classic 👌
Superb video
Thanks for watching!

2:02 what the name of movie
In pulling an example from SW, I'd prefer the pre-Disney relationship of Master Yoda and Luke the student from ESB.
Was there a montage scene with them in the prequels?
@@StudioBinder Empire wasn't a prequel, but original trilogy, and yes, there was a montage with Yoda teaching Luke how to use the force, levitate rocks, do flips and so on.

Full Metal Jacket?
Not sure but that's an interesting idea!
Check out the 1949 Merrie Melodies cartoon "Holiday for Drumsticks."
You missed the funniest and most meta training montage of all time: TEAM AMERICA
epic song "Montage"
[Verse 1]
The hour's approaching to give it your best
And you've got to reach your prime
That's when you need to put yourself to the test
And show us a passage of time
[Chorus]
We're gonna need a montage (Montage!)
Ooh, it takes a montage (Montage!)
[Verse 2]
Show a lot of things happenin' at once
Remind everyone of what's goin' on (What's going on)
And with every shot, show a little improvement
To show it all would take too long
[Chorus]
That's called a montage (Montage!)
Ooh, we want a montage (Montage!)
In anything, if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage (Montage!)
Even Rocky had a montage (Montage!)
[Chorus]
In anything, if you want to go
From just a beginner to a pro
You need a montage (Montage!)
Ooh, it takes a montage (Montage!)
[Outro]
Always fade out in a montage
If you fade out, it seems like more time has passed
In a montage
(Montage)
Always fade out with a montage!
haha we threw that into our previous montage video
attack on titan's training montage! can't get enough of eren's triumph over that broken gear set.
That was a good one 💯
I thought Karate Kid was not gonna be in it due to the title didn't show it but boy I was wrong.
👌 couldn't leave it out
Super ❤️
👌🙏
You're obsessed with Quentin tarantino 😂🤩🤩
You got us :)
Hey guys! Any chance the video on aperture will be back up any time soon?
It's up! th-cam.com/video/SOrROvRx-XM/w-d-xo.html
Great video! This may seem off-topic, but what would you consider the montage that was shown in Gone Girl where Amy's character is unveiled?
A good one haha
How do you know it's my time to hit gym
Always trying to motivate our viewers :)
How about mental training. For example in the series The Queens Gambit.
That's an option!
The departed training montage
Great choice 👍
It all started with Rocky
wellllllllllllllll ... The magnificent Seven has sort of a training montage, when the Seven teach the villagers how to shoot and fight
Not really, but it's the most memorable!
Definitely made it mainstream!
The rocky ones are the best :)
All time classics
@@StudioBinder they really are!:) I watched them with my dad and will watch them with my future children
Training examples - what about Cobra Kai?
At first I thought that it was a training about how to do montage for movies 😅
We have a vid on how Nolan uses montages here! th-cam.com/video/29xvA9Ly7IQ/w-d-xo.html
Kick-boxer!!!! Van damme
Classic!
Did Quentin count incorrectly?
Warrior (2011)
lady Snowblood's training
Sweet 💯
And that's why last jedi failed...no training montage...luke And Rey could have been reminiscent of pai mei And Beatrix relationship.
A great training montage would've helped for sure
Rocky literally invented the training montage. Every one else is just copying it
It definitely popularized it!
I am currently writing a downfall montage, we two character are drinking themselves into a bad situation
Happy writing!
The come up montage..see: Scarface. Tony Montana making a boatload of cash and eventually getting a goddamn Tiger in his backyard.
Hi. Mathilda...
million dollar baby..
Great choice!
Ah yes...the second episode of animes... finally...
Anime?
Best montage scene; Team America World Police.
Hey everyone, give some examples of really bad training montages. Aaand GO!
