  • Daredevil on Netflix has some incredible fight scenes but it's not a Movie, will we stick to our rules or will break them? But what about its inspiration, Old Boy and its remake?
    And how do video games like Sifu, League of Legends, etc influence films like The Kingsman, Man of Steel. Spiderman: No Way Home and Arcane?
    And the worst? Steven Segal might be in the video again...maybe?

      I would also at least do a quick shout out to Smith vs Morpheus as well. That short fight they have is brutal and efficient and does a masterful job of showing that while Morpheus is very adept (and we have seen this by how well he handles Neo earlier) even all his skills are completely useless against Smith who savagely beats him into submission. It's part of the story of the fights in that movie. That way, when Neo decides to stop and face Smith at the end ("he's beginning to believe..."), we as the audience know what is at stake. We saw how our boy Morpheus got curbstomped so bad and know Neo is going to be an underdog in this fight!

    The Spike Lee version of "Old Boy" isn't bad at all. The problem is that it will inevitably be compared to the original Park-Chan Wook version, _and come up short._ It's not an insult to Spike Lee, it's just that the original was a masterpiece with no practical room for improvement.

    • @pabloc8808
      @pabloc8808 หลายเดือนก่อน +68

      The problem is the original Oldboy hallway sequence works within the narrative; it's both a sad and a brutal movie, and the scene is gritty and realistic: think when the guy stabs Oh Dae-Su, everyone steps back because it's a serious escalation of the violence, and those goons weren't prepared to see that happen. The score makes the scene almost sad or melancholic. So while Spike Lee's version is great when it comes to choreography, it falls short when it comes to everything else, because now it's just "the protagonist is a badass who beats up a bunch of thugs" and we've seen that a thousand times.

Just no, they all have sticks too. And they're just beating the s*** out of him. And what he doesn't feel it, and with a knife in his back. He's still able to do big shoulder spinning turns. Which would you know make the knife twist around in his back?And cause it immense serious pain, discomfort and inability to do much ut he fights like its not even there after getting up

It’s great not only from a character introduction perspective but the choreography and performance is spectacular too. Every objective is clear, every hit has a purpose, and not one move is wasted. It’s fast, brutal, scrappy, and a perfect showcase of how deadly the two main characters are and how harsh their world is.

    Jason Statham is an incredible movie fighter. He has many movies where his fights are great and shot very well, and he has other movies where the skill is there but the filmmaking is not on the same level.
    I'd also make it a point that restraint in using a fight scene or using brutality out of the gate until it's absolutely necessary for the character makes it all the more impactful. I always think of Transporter 1, where Statham is obviously shown to be a badass, but doesn't hit super hard until the bad guys blow up his car, which seriously offends him and makes us root for him to kick ass as well.

    The common theme between the good fight scenes is that it shows the realism of a fight, the protagonist actually getting hit and feeling the damage, and the fighters getting tired as a whole.
    It allows the viewer to actually imagine themselves in that situation, engrossing them in the movie far more than something like a comic book movie.

      ​@@MarcusFlemmingsI will take up the defense of this fight.You've already said that seeking realism at all costs should not be the ultimate goal of a director because it's cinema anyway. And I agree except that the concept of the film (superman) is already very fanciful and can only happen in the cinema. So putting realism in there allows you to create a contrast that serves the themes of the film and makes it easier to make us believe in this superhero story. You also say that it undermines the dramaturgical issues. On the contrary, I find that it serves them. In the previous scene, Zod said that he was going to massacre all the earthlings and that Kal El won't be able to stop it. So the fact that we don't understand much allows us to show Superpan's feelings when faced with Zod who is totally dominated and cannot manage the situation. The realism of this scene also allows us to emphasize the brutality of the combat, which increases the stakes and makes us feel the extent of the villain's hatred, which makes us understand that he must be stopped at all costs, which leads to the end of the fight and the death of Zod. So I find that this staging serves the film and does not undermine it, contrary to what you seem to think.

    What I really love about Daredevil fight scene is that you can see them getting tired and sloppy as the fight goes on. It takes a toll on them. First season was really a masterpiece.
    Also, people read the comic Oldboy. It is good.
    Arcane is amazing work. Story, animation, music combined in such a well done manner.
    Still, there's only one Hardcore Henry.

    The Luke vs Vader scene carries so much weight. Even just the short clip you show in this drips with the emotion and stakes that are conveyed by their battle & dialogue. Almost brings me to tears. I think bad or mediocre films forget that all the composite parts - fight choreography, lighting & cinematography, performance - all these serve only as storytelling mechanisms. When the mechanism becomes the point rather than the story itself, the film loses its way.

      The arcane fight scene has great animation but the actual fight scene was pretty bad. Idk why people praise it, it has all of the hallmarks of "bad fight scenes". Shaky camera, a million cuts, and the worst aggressor of all, the camera/composition is WAY too zoomed in. Now, there's two reasons I can see for this: lack of good choreography and cutting down costs by zooming in to animate less. Look at any Mob Psycho 100 fight and THAT'S how an animated fight scene should truly look.

    I was waiting for you to mention the church scene from Kingsman. I didn't really like that movie but that fight scene should be taught in film school and I was rather disappointed you didn't go into detalis in that one. You are correct that there are jump cuts - however those are not jump cuts to hide lack of training or blows being landed because you see all of those clearly, they are there to support the kinetic chaos that ensues.
    The camera movement following the protagonsit, jumping together with him and dropping down when falls, the brtual violence, the music, the choreographed chaos. It is a masterclass of action scenes.

    One of my favorite fights (besides Raid 1 and 2 main fights) are the ones from "The Night Comes For Us" which has Iko Uwais as the antagonist and the fight scenes have pretty much the essence of what Gareth Evans did in The Raid movies.
    Another example i can think of is Red vs Blue, it's mostly a Machinima yes, but there are certain parts of the series that were animated 3D and for the fight scenes (and i mean until Monty Oum died, who was the guy in charge of making these choreographies) were really good, and its quite amazing that very few works can be at the level of what Monty Oum did. Of course, his animations weren't perfect, rendering issues and some weird cuts that will hardly ever be noticed by the first time you watch them, and also attack moves that are just straight bullshit defying the laws of physics, but still, it is worth knowing that i was being made by an indie studio some 14 years ago and i will still say it how it amazes me that very few works can be compared to Red vs Blue fight scenes (anyone interested in checking it out, a guy made a 1 hour compilation of the action scenes in the series, just don't watch the last fights since it is where the quality dropped by a lot since the death of the main animator for these fight scenes)

    You are right about the screen left to screen right thing, but there's more to it than that. Because we Westerners read from left to right, it just seems more natural to our brains when things move in that direction on screen. But there is a reason why things sometimes move right to left. It can be that the Director doesn't know what he's doing...but if it's a good Director, he is intentionally trying to make you feel unsettled or uneasy when things move that way. Your subconscious is supposed to sense that something isn't right. Remember, the left hand margin on a page of text is always fixed - but the right hand length of text can go on to whatever length will fit on the page. Therefore, when things move from right to left on a movie screen, we sense that someone is moving toward a hard margin. Which means they could be moving into a trap. Or some other ominous situation.
