To everyone in the comment thread. They cut our video into 2 episodes. Jessica and I are very close friends and care and respect each other immensely. At no point did I interupt or cut off Jessica while she was speaking. Unfortunately the edit doesnt clearly show the banter between the three of us. I intended the whole episode to feature Jessica but we wanted to address some of the funny things from last sword episode. Next episode is about Jessica. Try to look at things in a positive light instead of negative. We had great time making the episode Jessica is an awesome talent and you guys will see tons of her in 2nd episode.
all good luke. internet is a pitchforky place. keyboard warriors in these comments prob red in the face for being wrong now lol
Cool to see you on the show! Loved your insight on the scenes.
Glad to hear it, thanks for the heads up! The Crew guys should probably toss a mention of a part 2 in the vid itself next time if the edit winds up this way. Not a huge deal in the end but could definitely head off some complaints before they manifest.
I'm sorry about the comments Luke. I can listen to you talk about sword fights for hours.. you have so much to share
You need to talk more about the technicality of the stunts & how they were filmed instead of giving your analysis of the character or subtext of a scene. Your industry knowledge is far more interesting.
I hope there is a second part, Jessica basically didn't say a thing
This exactly what I was thinking
Came here to say this
Yeah this is glaringly atypical for their guests, never seen somebody just set to the sideline line that. If I had to guess something happened to her footage that made it unusable, otherwise why bring her on in the first place?
@@rabid4908 or maybe she just could get a word in edgeways
I feel like it was just supposed to be Luke's episode, Jessica being there for sword fight scenes feels like a last minute change
The most impressive thing to me ever about the Achilles / Hector fight scene is Brad Pitts footwork. I spent years in a historical medieval combat group and his footwork is unreal
One thing I loved that they did in the ENTIRE movie - shields used as actual weapons with slams, parries and movement. Rather than just holding them static.
You've got a great big hunk of wood, metal and leather on your arm - you can absolutely use it to pummel the SHIT out of some one with.
@@martinlarsen7354 one would argue blunt force trauma was actually more useful than swords because of the full suits of armor.
@@bigassdummy46 Swords cutting armor is one of those things that media has trained us to just accept.
If one looks into it all of the specialist anti-armor weapons are either blunt weapons (maces and such) or pick style weapons (war hammer).
The one thing that I hated in that fight was at the end, Achilles stabs both his spear and his sword directly through Hector's metal breastplate. Like what's even the point of having armor if someone can just stab straight through it? That should never have worked.
@@Klaital1 I thought spear points were designed to pierce armour because it focused all its energy into a small area?
Really loved part two.
IF WE HAD ONE.
😳
Yo what it’s still not out
Still nothing 🥺
Yeah what's up with that ? How long are they going to make us wait
@@robotempire The first video on sword fights came out in 2020. This is not a "part 2", just the 2nd video on the channel specifically on sword fights.
Hey Everyone, thanks for all the feedback. To clarify - we always aim to get two videos out of our film sessions with guests. We just decided to released the sword focused one first, which is Luke’s field of expertise. Jessica is awesome and you will see more of her with Luke in an upcoming episode of Stuntmen React!
Good to hear :)
Ah that makes more sense
I'm not an expert or anything but perhaps maybe it might be best next time to explain that it's a two-parter prior to it cuz honestly it seems like two guys on a couch ignoring the third host.
@@CorridorCrew ok 😬. this looks really bad though. you’ve never ignored/edited out a guest like this before.
Appreciate the clarification! 👍
The thing about the swordfight in "The Princess Bride" is that, at a certain point, neither of them particularly want to kill the other one because they appreciate how good the other one is, and because apparently neither one has had a good swordfight in a while. A lot of the silliness in it is attributed to the fact that they're both enjoying the swordfight too much to actually want to kill the other one. Just another example of the power of good storytelling.
Also, you know, the whole honour and respect they've shown each other up till then, Iñigo sharing his story and even letting the MiB hold his sword for a while, Iñigo clearly doesn't care aboutb Vizzin's plot, doesn't like the job. Likewise MiB doesn't want to kill these guys, just get the Princess. So, they're both just going through the motions.
And the movie is basically a comedy anyway.
@@robertgotschall1246 I mean it's got fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles... a little bit of something for everyone.
I can attest to that. I started fencing in high school and there have been 3-4 occasions where we were so evenly matched that "winning" became irrelevant and my opponent and I would just be fencing for 20 minutes or so - Just for the enjoyment of it...
This, this is what I was going to say. Even before Wesley reaches the top of the cliff to get to the fight, they're respectful, even almost friendly towards each other. It's more like play fighting, showing each other their capabilities. It's like the fight in Civil war. None of them really want to fight each other, the ones that know each other well anyway. Wanda is going for it more, because she's newer to the group, and other reasons, and Spider-man less, because he's just a well-meaning kid. When someone gets really hurt, everyone pauses. Wesley and Inigo aren't dueling to the death, they just want to accomplish their goal, Inigo by stopping Wesley from catching up, and Wesley wanting the opposite.
My only issue was the point where he was talking about how Inigo could have flicked his sword up. But in the story Inigo didn’t really want to kill the man in black. He wanted someone to duel with
He did caveat the comment with an understanding that it was a technical quibble.
@@two_owls I guess some planes are just bound to fly over peoples’ heads un-noticed.
Also ignoring the fact that Wesley's sword wasn't actually trapped and he also had a clear opening to Inigo's leg and belly.
Have any of you read the book? It means this very clear, neither wanted blood
My favourite thing in Troy was the treatment of Achilles’s fighting. Selective jumping (adding leg strength to arm strength via stored energy) so A’s striking power is extra formidable. The deliberate way he’s shown unleash a series of purposeful and deceptive moves is excellent. That kind of care to show the audience why he is who he is positively heartwarming!
Also the shield bash which is almost never seen in movie.
The shield that Achilles has, it's very nice. Especially when he uses the spear behind his back and the spear laying on the shields opening while his head is in cover behind the shield.
Still waiting on the Stunt Animals React to Animal Stunts episode….
YES TO THIS
oooomg yes
We need this
14 minutes of animals growling at the screen and then an ad.
Dead dog from John Wick: So in this scene I was told to play dead and stay. Stay. Staaaaaay. And I stayed. I was a good dog. I got a treat!
Fun Facts about that Joh Wick 3 scene: The location in Morocco where they shot it was overrun with hundreds of stray cats, so attempting to keep the dogs focused on the actors instead of chasing cats, and wrangling the cats so they didn't get in the shots, was a whole mess. The director said they probably spent more on cat food and cages than they did on human catering.
🤣
I just imagine the cats bringing their bros to check it out. "Dude, you gotta see... they keep making these stupid dogs do the same dumb things over and over and they're handing out food! There's even a place to nap where the dogs can't get us!" Cat dinner theater.
That was only good scene in this ridiculous movie ;)
Lol
Cats: "You aint shit"
Dog: "Im sorry whos this? I want to see my agent"
So glad the second part with Jessica came out! Right guys!
Right guys?
😭😭😭😭😭😭
😅😅😅😅
Corridor just silently waiting for the generation that still remembers to die out. :D
I have not forgotten
The A.I. Art controversy reminded me.
Almost the one year anniversary of not getting part 2
Almost?
Troy’s fight scene is just such a joy to watch. It’s intense, well choreographed and has no shaky cam in sight. You see everything. And as the guy on the left says, a sword fight should always give you context and make you care about the two people involved in it. It’s definitely one of the better sword fights of modern films.
Wow, I had always skipped Troy because I heard it wasn't that great of a film (along with the Alexander the Great movie that came out around the same time). But after seeing those clips I'll have to check it out some time.
@@siukong troy is a very good movie. Definitely check it out
Yep. I hate shaky camera work and chop editing for fight scenes. Jackie Chan has a lot to say on the subject. He regards it as lazy and quite frankly a bit of a cop out. It’s one of the main reasons he doesn’t particularly like making films in America….
@@siukong it's a great film. Little bit corny but overall great and surprisingly good action.
@@planetdisco4821 they do it to hide the fact that the actors can't do the stunts.
As much as I like Luke, he took too much of the show for Jessica to have a fair spot. They're both important people.
Edit: Jessica has her own part coming out, thats why she isn't really talking. It's the editing, not anyone's fault. Please stop thinking this statement is still valid. Corridor crew and the guests already answered on it.
They showed a bunch of scenes that fall under he expertise so I would expect him to talk. They didn't show anything Jessica could chime in on, she was just there to plug Black Adam
Weird how so many people had the same thought as she obviously sat there angrily with her arms crossed.
@@viagray8098 arms crossed and that side eye, not even looking at dude speaking, yeah I defo got the vibe she wasnt a fan of not being able to speak. But also the extrovert in me wonders why she didnt jus speak anyways if she wanted to
Agree
@Chill man SPAM
Waiting for part two guys, c'mon!
This video was uploaded July 31st. We haven't forgotten. Where is part 2?
It's apparently a website exclusive from what I've read
“I prefer blanks” and that’s it that’s all she said😂😂😂😂😂😂
We want part 2. Just for Jessica.
you forgot the "yeah" during the duelists
I was trying to remember if she actually said anything. Thanks. They need to bring her back.
#justiceforjessica
What about when she explained work with dogs?
Yeah she just seemed really bored the whole time
In the Odyssey, Achilles is described as fighting "in a divine style." I bet the fight choreographer looked at that and went "Great. Very helpful." 😁
Agreed but it was in the Iliad.. Achilles the Man Killer. Darkness veiled their eyes…
If you watch entire fight you can observe that Achilles' fighting style is smooth and without errors which makes him look godlike, Hector's fighting style is more jerky and reflex based which makes him seem more human.
@@goro123451 If you listen to the DVD commentary, Achilles is a more formally schooled fighter, whereas Hector is more the practical, dirty, battlefield fighter.
You can actually see similar poses to Achilles' on grecian vases and the like. His position at the end of his long distance spear throw at the temple of apollo is a good example.
th-cam.com/video/Yr4K28Kl8hg/w-d-xo.html
@@williamphillips24 oh nice, thanks
Judging from the fact that he has to bend the laws of physics in order to pull off two out of each three of his moves I'd say the choreographer said "So this guy is supposed to be a greek Jedi then..."
"Achilles was honorable"
*proceeds to drag dead body behind his chariot*
That Bloodlust trumps the honor at times
And after having a secret conversation with King Priam, Achilles gives the Trojans back their prince. He showed Honor toward Hector when he announced to Priam that his son was the best that he’d fought and that he will see him again when he spoke to Hector’s body, going as far as to call him a brother.
We never actually got to hear anything about how the stunt with the dogs were done. :(
LOL her face when he said he’s been stabbed before. She didn’t get to same much but I hope she’s in more videos!
This whole comment section have lost their mind over literally nothing.
@@ToaGarrett "so why was she even there" - because corridor crew film more than one video at a time with guests.... have you never noticed the same guests wearing the same clothes on videos weeks apart? She will be the focus of the next video.
@@ToaGarrett For stunts. It's a two parter..
@@jessicamedina2800 idc, your comment doesn’t even make sense
EDIT: The video was split into two, this video was more focused on Luke's experiences and knowledge, and the next will be focused on Jessica's.
I was waiting to hear Jessica's thoughts about it all, but I feel like this episode was made for Luke specifically with Jessica just being the prop. Hope she gets another invite!
Yeah, I noticed she didn't talk much! I also want to see her come back!
I AGREE!! Would love an episode or a part two to this next week where she’s gets to talk more
She sat there lookin pissed most of the time
Same I was hoping to hear her talk more, but I guess Niko got more sword clips on this episode and Luke got in the zone of his experience, good episode I must say I was waiting for the princess bride sword fight for months. Please bring Jessica back and Luke
@@gavinps31 I'd look pissed too for wasting hours filming something, only to get like three sentences of dialogue.
Okay, you know the dude knows his shit when he brings up "The Duelists". Bar none the most realistic sword fights ever put to film, and an incredible movie outside of the duels. It's really awesome to me that more and more people are giving love to that film, because it really deserves it. I saw it for the first time 3 years ago, and was almost angry that nobody had ever expressed how awesome and accurate that movie is.
"Bar none the most realistic sword fights ever put to film" Spoken like someone who's never seen the deluge
I would go with Deluge probably over Duelist. Both are great, but well..... duelist is a movie about... duelist. So it should be great when it comes to accuracy.
Deluge just has a duel amidst a lot of other stuff. In both movies it is actors doing stuff. At least I'm certain about deluge - there were no stuntmen involved in the fight. I'm almost certain about Duelist as well - it's kind of "small movie" from 77 - so I doubt they even thought about using stuntmen. Just experts to teach the actors and tons of great choreography.
And in all fairness - you probably never heard of Deluge - since it's not a Hollywood/British movie. And old foreign language movies get very little exposure to US/Western public.
I mean they show that they don't know what they are talking about pretty quickly actually just by talking about Troy
@@damienhenderson97 I've seen The Deluge ...still go with The Duelists (particularly the small sword duels), and by a wide margin at that.
@@jannegrey593 The Deluge has a very good fight scene too, but I don't like it as much as some of the fights in the Duellists personally just because it has one guy who is far superior basically just toying with a weaker opponent. That kind of context is not as interesting to me personally.
Where is Part 2? We've had multiple Stuntmen React videos since, and it keeps not being with Jessica. Was the idea of a part 2 a lie to appease your audience? Is it actually coming? Why wasn't it a top priority after the backlash from Part 1? You owe her better than what you've given.
Jessica almost didn't say a thing... Will there be another episode with the same guests, but with her talking? (although this still was very interesting :) )
i agree
Can't do the reaction with just two people
Ya I don't want to be rude but that guy spoke for so long in the beginning I was like, OK!
No
Bring the old man back
“If somebody rams a sword through your torso...you’re not gonna keep fighting”
*every anime ever starts sweating profusely*
Still waiting for the other episode with Jessica.
👀👀👀👀
Ive always understood that the princess bride sword fight had many technical issues, but Ive always thought that many people miss a key point in this fight. These were two great sword masters who genuinely did not want to kill their opponent. Circumstances made it necessary, but it was to be avoided if at all possible. This will change your style and technique.
And they always say it has technical issues immediately after they praise starwars for having good sword fights it seems cause he even did that in part one
yup, this is primarily a bragging fight, they are traing to impress each other. Nothing else. They both have multiple chances to kill the other inside the first 30sec, but they don´t.
Much like the famous fight scene at the end of the first Episode of the Witchers, which was basically "suicide by cop": Geralt is absolutely trying to avoid to having to kill Renfri, he is flexing like hell, showing "I am so much better than all of you combined, what´s the point? I even really like you., I want you to have a life. Just go.", while Renfri, clearly disadvantaged, doesn´t let go, and is more or less forcing his hand to kill her, she wants to not live anymore, and she wants him to feel guilty for not helping her. So what Geralt does pretty much until Renfri jumps into his dagger is what these two aredoing here: "Look at me! Look how I can fight! Ha! Look! Look!"
Jill Bearup has a full length breakdown of the Princess Bride sword fight on her excellent channel. As she points out it's all about storytelling, character building and tone rather than anything like historical accuracy.
Niko: "Jessica has a bunch if interesting stories as well"
Jessica: *gets 20 seconds to talk about how animals can be unpredictable *
she was just on here so they could mention suicide squad.
@@WoodBlock707 You might be onto something. Even the video description doesn't have a working link for Jessica! A shame if this will be the future.
Hopefully Corridor just decided to split this into two videos because they had very different skill sets. it would make sense to create one video around sword fighting and another video around more typical gun fighting scenes and animal stunts. Anyhow, if that's the case Corridor Crew definitely messed up how this looks like to viewers.
@@insoYT I wish there were 2 part videos. I always felt the videos are to short and would love for them to go over more.
@@WoodBlock707 Oh, yes please! One hour uncut versions would be so cool!
BUT she said it twice
Niko: "one of the most iconic swordfight scenes"
[Shows a spear fight]
3 years later still no part 2, legend has it Luke is STILL talking and wont shut the hell up
"You don't want to be stabbed; cut is a better option"
Me: is there a third option.
Yes, you run ! :)
@@TheClarky8 definitely a better option.

Get a sniper rifle.
As a HEMA practitioner, I must say that Luke’s knowledge of historical swordsmanship in addition to Hollywood stunt fighting is impressive. It’s rare to see someone “in the business” so informed and dedicated to historicity.
@Be nice SPAM
@Be nice SPAM
What i like about the troy fight is that surprisingly its believable. Chances are the characters are historical but when the illiad has a habit of mention ing how many cm from right or left nipple x struck y, you know there is plenty of exageration.
But in general, adorea has done a great service showing just how intense and complex, how enter training real fighting can be. Their knight of hope really put into persoective just how intense a plated knights presence was.
In a way id prefer people go for realism because its realism that allows even complete amateurs to make believable and intense fights.
That's because directors have their own vision and often don't listen to the experts.
There is an amusing story Lindybeige told. He knew an expert from a film.
Lindybeige: "I've heard you were the expert for that film Why didn't they listen to you?"
Poor Jessica still waiting on that Part 2 upload.
The Hector vs Achilles fight is still one of the gold standards for Hollywood sword fights and fight-storytelling. Your expert nailed it. Their motivations are crystal clear, their personalities impact they physical way in which they move - in an overall "okay" movie, this is a great moment.
And I love how Achilles isn't made out to be totally OP and they didn't play up the demigod thing, they just made him a supreme athletic warrior. Simply better than everyone else, but not because of magic. Him against regular soldiers is like Michael Jordan vs street pickup players. And him vs Hector is like Michael Jordan against other NBA champions - Jordan is still better than all his contemporaries.
I loved hearing from Luke but it would’ve been nice to give a little bit more spotlight to Jessica because I feel like she is in soo many good projects that she must’ve a lot to share as well but she barely got chance.
Me: About to go to sleep
Corridor Crew: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
Same thoughts I had
is there night in there
@@kishorkhatri7958 It's midnight here
2 am ha 😅
Hahaha
Love the commentary on Princess Bride... movie from the 80's pays homage to 1930's swordfights, and now the homage itself is considered a classic piece of cinema. If they redid Princess Bride today, it would be all fast cuts and close-ups of the clanking blades, without any of the choreography that I'm sure Elwes and Patinkin spent months learning.
Anyone's still waiting for the second part with Jessica? Did they forget about it?
I wonder where that episode is every time I watch another one of their episodes.
Jessica commented above that they should be releasing it early 2022. Corridor was very busy. They didn't forget about her episode cut.
Thanks for the update! I was wondering this today. Just seemed like a long time to delay her.
@@dmc01 Early 2022? Sounds like it was a lame PR save after all, and they are rescheduling for a new video to be shot.
@@dmc01 Too busy to upload a second part of this video? There have been so many parts of so many videos! There's even a new part of a new video with this guy again! 👀
The Swordfight for the Princess Bride is an exhibition sparring fight, they BOTH say neither one wants to kill the other. That's why Inigo Montoya doesn't press his advantage, and also why The Dread Pirate allows Inigo the opportunity to retrieve his blade.
Jessica is like "why tf am i here?"
Why are any of us here?

😭😭😭😭

Yeah, Have Jessica back on and focus on letting her get a word in. This was a Luke reacts video for sure.
Oof
I'm assuming they recorded multiple videos with them and just split them to focus on one then the other.
@@McOwenWilson Okay
@@McOwenWilson A fool of a Took
Definitely agreeing with all the comments, have Jessica back covering more of her expertise. I would love to learn her perspective on stunt work!
What makes you so interested in her perspective if she said absolutely nothing? Could it be something else perhaps.
@@UpYours101 cause they're curious about what she has to say and also she's attractive
@@spike5499 really just the ladder part of your statement. Let's be honest.
@@UpYours101 Lol get fucking wrecked she's in another episode. It may surprise you but people can have actual interests.
@@SwordTune you can wreck dis nuts brah
can't wait to see the 2nd half!
lord this video is pure catnip for me as a fencer and history nerd. sitting alone in my apartment chanting WRIST SHOT WRIST SHOT like a madman
Yeah, I was like "they need to react to Deluge for a real good cinematic sabre fight.
Exactly how I felt as a sabreur myself. I was like "go for the stopcut!"
ah yes this all makes sense to me and i also understand this 100%
We had a group of people who performed a martial arts form with (I think) the decorative style of sword on live television (the type of sword that's more flexible, but still) and wanted to take a picture for local television of someone with such a sword very close to the camera during the rehearsels and I wanted the pose to look realistic because of a quick, strong move that they just ended making.
I watched the person I asked if she would feel comfortable with that (which she was) 10-15 times and then marked my position on the floor and had her perform the move and when with a loud vocal outburst she ended the move I took the picture all while sweating my ass off.
Even though she mentioned it was not a sword able to actively injure people I still very much got the feeling I needed to watch out, the intimidating nature of the martial arts style she performed really hit home :P.
COME ON CORRIDOR. You need to get Jessica in again, have her go over stunts, and films she's worked on lol
Idk if she willing after this. She was a NEW guest while Luke was a LONG TIME friend of theirs. N the whole time they basically focus on their friend instead of splitting up equally
They get repetitive and boring. It was good to hear something new about the sword fighting techniques.
@@NunYaBiz1313 agree but then they should have a different video for Jessica instead having her there be essentially seat filler. As for the Swordsmanship goes... I kinda disagree with not on technical or choreography but his whole "intent" or character background feeling thing... He seem like pulling that stuff out of his ass when he talking about that.
It is probably really tricky for Niko but still shouldve reeled that other guy in damn
She just commented and said that there are two parts this one is about Luke and the second one is about her
Luke is great at explaining the work in his field.
It has been 2 months since this was released and there still isn't part 2 with Jessica Medina's portion. Where is it?
Was probably just a quick PR save and they're just counting on people forgetting about it. If it had been intentional there would've been something in the video itself about it, and/or the description.
This actually really let me down. Corridor crew really dropped the ball with this interview especially after saying it was split into two parts? definitely a lie.
@@BlameItOnTheLagTTV It's on their site you fkn weirdos
@@stickyblicky11 they never once said it would be a website exclusive and frankly that’s disrespectful and stupid of them to do that. The guy gets a full video on TH-cam for everyone to see while the girl gets a small segment on their paid website where not nearly as many people will see it. They clearly fucked up. And you defending their stupidity isn’t going to change anything. If the original first half was on TH-cam for free the second one should be on TH-cam with her part. You can stfu calling us weirdos when you’re the only one acting stupid
@@BlameItOnTheLagTTV exactly, cause no one wants to hear the woman "stuntman".
So... When do we get the part 2?

@@Dargonhuman ok but I wonder if he’s ever seen equilibrium
But I don't get how people flash the star wars prequel choreography when they talk about twirls and spins but forget to mention the storied fight is between two or more precognitive beings. But I can see the argument when it's judged at face value.

Damn right. That Troy fight with Hector and Achilles was so savage, it's still my favorite ancient-world fight of all time. Achilles' moves were ALL KILL MOVES. Remember that one.
Where’s the part 2 to this??
Where is part 2 guys?
Jessica hardly got a word in. Even when Niko directed questions to her, Luke absolutely had to wade in and give his opinion and not allow her to talk. I hope she bothers to come back after that.
Exactly what I was gunna say! I felt so bad for her, seems like Luke took over the show quiiiite a bit :/
That's what I noticed too, it was a bit awkward, they needed to let he speak more.
Felt more along the lines of none of it being in her area of expertise tbh. She had no information to volunteer regarding the sword-figthing/medieval techniques. They need to bring her back for different segment of stuntment reacts which befits her skills more.
Thats how they Edited the video. I never spoke over or interupted Jessica. We are very good friends.
@@lukelafontaine2502 that was a weird edit that made you look like you interrupted her. Maybe they should have said at the start that is a 2 part video 😄. We'll wait for the next episode and watch them back to back 😁.
Luke LaFontaine looks like a cool guy that knows a lot about swords and medieval stuff and this episode was full of videos like that and fewer videos where Jessica Medina could chime in, it was a bit awkward to watch for us and I bet it was the same for her. You guys should do an episode with just her and let her speak more about stunts and stuff. 🤷♂️
That's where it spits.
@Chill man SPAM
You could tell this was going to happen right from the intros. It’s such a shame because she was really cool and I wanted to hear more of what she had to say.
@@matthewjohntaylor69 Don't shout "spam" in chat, the bots don't care. Report.
Yeah, I agree. They also just skipped over the animal part, I was really excited for that.
Still waiting for part 2 of this vid....no real excuses right now...
Same. It seems like it was just a lie at this point though. Disappointing, especially because it was so obviously damage control after backlash. Nothing in description or the video suggested a part two. Seems cc have already moved on with the series and are hoping people will just forget.
My episode is coming up in beginning of new year. Corridor was very busy.😊😘
Yeah been waiting on it. Has been long, thought they forgot about you:(
It's almost March now. :/
When can we see Jessica?
Sadly it seems like you've been let down in regards to the 2nd part ever appearing... Understand CC are busy but this is starting to seem like a brush off
Jessica, it's been a year since this video came out and... Nothing, I think they did you dirty
"There's no drama in this" - immediately cuts to Kylo Ren 😂
Well...that's because it's true 😂
It was quite Literally the opposite
@@frenchtoast2573 eh imo there wasn't any emotional or connection shown in the fight. Not even a hint of remorse for killing the people who helped him in his training
@@frenchtoast2573 Keep drinking that flavor-aid
I feel bad for jessica not having more clips to talk about
Yeah ngl that felt really awkward. Except for the John Wick segment it was all about sword combat where Lafontaine was the clear expert, so she didn't have anything to add. It should have been more even
I thinks that's not really it. Even the time she had her chance, she did not really try to elaborate and talk more like all the other stunt people in the almost 30 episodes. Maybe she's just not comfortable in format of the camera and just there to promote her movies.
CC had proven themselves to give equal amount of time to their guests. So in this I'm leaning towards Jessica is not giving much to be able to show in this episode.
@Chill man SPAM
@@banyakakal4299 exactly, I think she just came to promote the movie and that's it, when you come with these kinda intensions you get fucked automaticly
@@banyakakal4299 there are two parts, part one (which is this one) talking about sword fighting which is also the Jessica didn’t talk bc she is a stunt woman not a sword expert like the dude. Part two is gonna be about her talking about stunts that she did and stunts that don’t relate much with sword stuff
"They're both very honorable warriors"
*Achilles dragging Hector's body behind his chariot......
I guess honor goes out the window and replaced with 'sending a message' when revenge is your focus.
Absolutely, that’s why it’s such a strong message
I mean he was honorable during the fight, like how he didn't attack Hector when he tripped and fell down but just told him to stand up.
@@Klaital1 yeah, that or he is like vegeta in a sense where he wants to beat the best YOU, he doesn’t want an easy win, he wants to battle the “best” at their best if that makes any sense at all lmao
In actual mythology, if I recall, the fight wasn't like this. They both fought during a battle with both armies fighting and after Achilles killed Hector, he dragged his body behind his chariot for 3 days around the island.
@@brainrich1358 yeah I’ve heard that too, not THREE days like a madman🥴😂, but yeah n anyways I was just goin off what the clip showed in the movie for what I said previously
babies have been born before this fabled part two,
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Those babies are walking now lol
I hope you guys do a second one where Jessica can actually be a part of the conversation
Word
Great video, fantastic commentary. Small nitpick point though: In Inigo and Wesley fight, they didn't even try to kill each other, just "win" (swag points by flipping opponent sword from other one's hand). When Inigo fights the bad guy, the fight is very different.
Me realizing Corridor Crew lied to me :( *shocked Pikachu face*
He's absolutely correct about Achilles and Hector's fight not only being amazingly well choreographed and shot but that it makes it all the better for the story behind it all, the reason why they are fighting. Love the movie and that scene.
they did! also they learnt it so well that by the time they did it at full speed, it was too short. they had to lengthen the routine significantly before filming.
Except he got the reasons for why Hector is fighting completely wrong. He said it was him standing in for his brother but that wasn't for this fight.
One thing I loved about John Wick was his occasional extra bullet in a downed enemy who appeared dead but he wasn't sure and it was like he didn't want this guy clawing to his feet behind him and shooting him in the back.... "You're down, stay down!"
Those second head shots!!
Especially that guy in the underwater scene. He shot that guy so many times, lol. I think it was 3 or 4 shots to the head to that guy alone, just to make sure.
The double-tap!
The double tap. Useful for more than just zombies
His pace of explaining is so good..... it's like when you get a good teacher who is experienced, knowledgeable and explains big concepts in a soothing manner which goes into your mind at once....
But she didn't get to speak a lot....
Invite her some other time....
So wheres the video on Jessica at? Been a month now.
So... When is Part 2?
All the sword fight information was great, but why was there a second guest? She just sat there for most of the video, didn't get to add much to the conversation. It would have been a bit less awkward if there were some segments she could chime in on.
Niko just sat there letting only one guest talk on and on and on, him not adding anything else other than "Oh wow fascinating"-s. Lousy host.
@@ivnislykun So all those pause of empty dialogue was by no means a good area where she should have chimed in? Isn’t she supposed to be quite the expert? Niko is a great host and really he’s fascinated by it all. Maybe he felt awkward that she wouldn’t chime in.
@@ivnislykun to be fair, they do end up cutting a lot out of these episodes, niko is probably egging their guests on more than we realize, it could be that jessica didn't really offer up a ton of stuff. Could also be that she has a second episode coming up at some point that's more focused on what she does.
Why? To shamelessly promote The Suicide Squad obviously
I hope they bring Jessica back, I wanna hear her stories and thoughts. They should've brought two people from the studio instead, and had Jessica on the next one, seeing how this was a sword special.
@@McOwenWilson I'm sorry, I forgot we're not allowed to have opinions anymore.
This was literally 2 months ago and we're still waiting for Jessica's part 😑
..... Maybe fall 2022 🤷🏻
7 months now
@@DreamDogTV Sheeeeesh
I just watched this for the first time and immediately searched for Jessica's part because to my eyes she looked seriously pissed off by the end of this video, like she's thinking "This guy won't let me get a word in, WTF am I even doing here?". Still no part 2. Feels like we've been lied to, and it's starting to make me concerned about the culture at Corridor Crew.
There’s been 2 stuntwoman on the show before. I’m not sure if you’re aware. Martin Luther King said judge people by the content of their character not the colour of their skin. Don’t race bait, it’s not classy.
3:30 Hector is not fighting in place of his brother he is fighting for himself, Achilles did not come for Paris he came for Hector, he even comes before the city walls and yells for him.
Luke was so damn knowledgeable! Love the dude. But I really wish Jessica got more time to shine.
Yeah, He pretty much talked the entire episode.
@@spydergs07 I know. I sword fighting choreographer talking about swords in a video entirely about sword fighting choreography. How weird is that? We need more representation.
🙄
She does in the second part apparently
@Polite Gordon Ramsay Same reason you have women in any situation. Eye candy 😉
@@toh6261 I don't think you understand what the problem is. I wouldn't have any problem if there was a part 2 released within a week. They usually do record at least 2 episodes when there are guests - you can see that in stuntman/stuntmen reacts etc.
But for now it is only part 1. And we only know it is part 1, because they say so in the comments. No mention of it in the video. Only when they got backlash for inviting 2 guests that specialize in 2 different types of stunts, but only talked about 1 (they teased the other - I know) they said - "oh don't worry, we didn't invite her to be eye candy - she has her own episode". It's at least a screw up on the person who green-lit the final edit on YT. Because that looks like one of the stunt people were there just to say couple of words. Again - I would be okay with that if there was a part 2 soon. But it's been a month. And frankly I'm starting to doubt whether it will ever be released. Or exists.
Also you say: "I know. I sword fighting choreographer talking about swords in a video entirely about sword fighting choreography. How weird is that? We need more representation." - you do realize that if they wanted to make a video about sword fights - they don't need Jessica there? It looks like they were trying to do both at the same time and ended up with footage that someone decided to cut into 2 "specialties". And during editing and green-lighting the project no-one noticed it's freaking awkward. When they noticed backlash, they should have immediately released part 2. The question is whether they have the edit that looks fair to Jessica.
I love what Luke had to say about getting injured in a sword fight and not just shrugging it off and kicking butt after. I've had some gnarly injuries throughout the years and some of them- there was no way I'd be swinging a sword after that lol.
I work in child protection and with challenging behaviour kids and adults. I was stabbed one day when one of the kids had a mental break.
It absolutely is some of the worst pain you can experience. It will cumple you into a mess on the ground. You go into shock.
I was lucky and it missed all my vital stuff but the absolute worst part was when they were cleansing the wound. They had to get a bit of my shirt out of the hole and it was excruciating.
So yeah when I see someone stabbed in a movie and they pull the knife out and keep fighting I laugh and shake my head.
When is part 2 of this coming?!?!
Still waiting for the Medina's part.
*looks at upload time*
Stuntmen react without getting any sleep.
So hear me out: The scene in Princess Bride is not a swordfight, it's a conversation. The words are being exchanged through actions instead of verbally. These two people are just getting to know each other, and at no point are you actually worried one of them is going to get hurt, because neither is really interested in hurting the other. Instead they learn about each other, and exit the scene as friends (even if one is slightly knocked out). For the audience, it also functions as a character introduction, as you haven't really come to learn much about either of these two up until this point. This is why the fact that the swordfighting itself is nonsensical is completely ok, because there's no actual fight happening in the first place. The scene is an absolute masterstroke
Absolutely! But I do agree with Luke that some of the moves there are pure nonsense and don't really make sense even in a "conversation" capacity
Jill Bearup has a great breakdown th-cam.com/video/j0rkUbrPo3k/w-d-xo.html
I didn't realise they were on a bridge! :) :) :)
@@anfski2000 Oh yeah, the Princess Bridge. It's the movie where they make a bridge out of princesses
Obligatory reminder that it’s been 2 years and you still haven’t released part 2 of Jessica. I know you guys are keeping busy but please follow through with your promise.
Seriously doubt they'll ever follow, I think they're betting on people forgetting
@@vanerek I almost forgot she was in this video by the end. She added almost nothing.
@@vanerek Obviously 2 years after the fact they aren't going to follow. But honestly... why is this a bad thing? Sometimes weird things happen and you have to cut a lot of things out of an episode (that seems to be what happened here). My guess (with no evidence) is maybe someone broke an NDA without realizing it so they just basically cut that episode.
@@agentkirb I see your point, but, thing is corridor stated several things that over time have come to light as being... Not particularly true, such as promising that there was a second part in which Jessica would speak way more than Luc. Or at the very beginning they had Jessica's message pinned in which she said how much she was waiting for the amazing second part coming in a couple of weeks.
Maybe there was na NDA breach, but the problem was the lack of communication and the way the issue was handled
@@vanerek I suppose it would be nice if there was an easy way for them to communicate something like this to us, but even still. I sort of just assumed it was some weird reason why (like an NDA or some weird technical glitch where they lost Jessicas mic for part of the recording), so it wasn’t necessarily worth going into detail why the episode wound up not happening.
Part of the reason why I’m kind of “facepalmy” about people seeming to be upset there isn’t a part 2 for this is: what do people think happened where they supposedly wouldn’t want to show part 2? Do they think Nico just dropped a bunch of racial slurs and it upset Jessica/Luc and they left midway through? I feel like if something like that happened, they could’ve lied and come up with a plausible reason (like there being a mic issue or losing the recording or whatever).
TLDR: It just doesn’t make sense for people to be upset there isn’t a part 2.
Waiting for part 2... Was there ever a part 2?
🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻🤷🏻
I'm really doubting there was
Funny story. Princess Bride. The first attempt to show off what they learned and do the sword fight, it was done and over in seconds.
The director was like ... 'umm'. Like, they were doing almost-perfect stance and technique. Which makes for a very, very quick and very, very boring fight.
So, they HAD to flesh it out to have it be 'epic'.
Plus one has to remember that a) a lot of the movie is basically inside the imagination of Fred Savage's character whilst listening to his Grandfather reading an 'alternative' version of the book, and b) in regards to Wesley, his fighting style, and his weapon, he did learn and fight primarily as a pirate, plus Inigo was said to have practiced for 20 years in various sword forms (plus the whole left-handed bit was to make the fight more fun for Inigo), so in story, there are reasons for the inconsistencies that someone can at least bring up in regards to why it isn't historically accurate. Still got nothing for the hand lock into face damage bit from the end though
@@AJTaiyou I've got something for the hand lock. They're not trying to kill each other. It's debatable on if they were trying to kill each other from the very beginning. Neither of them were taking the fight entirely seriously, as evidenced by the whole left handed thing. They wanted to best the other, not kill or even injure. That's why he didn't go for the face hit, because the duel wasn't going to end with blood, but with a concession.
Well, I'm robbing all this information to pass off as my own. Cheers - I have 6 fingers on my left hand
@@dcarson89 Steal away. I suggest getting the book 'As You Wish'. There's an amazing story about Andre the Giant doing a pub crawl with Ewes.
@@ChristopherLaHaise ah deadly I will do, I found an original copy of princess bride a few years ago while serving overseas in Lebanon and am waiting to read it to my daughter when shes big enough to appreciate it.
Jessica came to sit on the couch, give her more clips to talk!
Whatever happened to part 2?
Didn't you get it, there was never a 2nd part. They can't even admit their mistakes
How many months later?
@@vaishnavkadam5887 Yup, I remember the RED camera stuff. They argued their proprietary storage units were expensive but better, and when people showed they were just regular SSDs with a proprietary interface, they just deleted the clip from their video. What bothers me is precisely that they wouldn't admit the mistake with Jessica. "You´re right, we will do better next time" would have been simple to understand, but pretending there was a part 2 is just bad.
Still waiting for the Part 2 with Jessica! Can't wait to hear her perspective
*will have to wait indefinitely to hear her perspective, it turns out :(
I come back here once in a while to check if it's come out yet, but it's been 9 months now.
it's been over a year... and surprising... no one... there are no news about the video
Man this guy knows everything about swordfights and its history bring him back for more videos please
Better be a part two where Jessica is doing most of the talking
Yeah I agree. Not sure why she was there
Release the Jessica Cut!
@@dazzenseabiscuit1366 sex appeal, probably
It seemed more like they planned this sword fighting video and maybe her schedule had opened up for this week. I can only assume and would explain the john wick clip to give her something to talk about.
Possibilty she was there for a stunt react show, maybe her specialty is not swords and this is a swords episode.
It’s been 3 months where is part 2?
4 months

😅 I just thinking the same thing
Where's part 2? Im getting skeptical now
What about a year later and nothing?
I’d like to hear more on her stories and opinions. The clips were probably too “swordy” and he couldnt help himsef to give his point of view xD but dang, we just met her, wanna know moar
