    This is THE fight scene from 1985's Gymkata, in which Olympic Gymnast Johnathan Cabot (played by actual gymnast Kurt Thomas) find a pommel horse and uses it to dispatch an entire town of eastern European savages. Note the eerie resemblance to the townsfolk in Resident Evil 4.

      As a martial artist - keep in mind these people were the “psych patients” locked up into one town called the town of crazies. They have no fighting skills. Secondly, as with all martial films, they have always been filmed this way - Jackie Chan and Jet li have both said that as an actor they get covered up by all the opponents attacking at once and the on screen filming becomes a mess. As for martial art films, they’re purely designed to show case the actor’s talent. Name me one film where they attack at once - it doesn’t exist.
