fights from the netflix show Happy! are insane. the lights flickering kettle bell fight is incredibly fun lol

You should check out the ending sword fight in the movie Rob Roy. It is really good. Not flashy and silly, but realistic with breaks and the fighters getting tired.

"it's bad because they seem to be playfighting" in a scene where they are supposed to be playfighting

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Yeah...but why? (and I have seen the movie and still don't get why - it's a scene as bad as catwoman!)

[@kingman9k]

@@MarcusFlemmings good question, but one that should be directed at the script rather than the choreography

If my sparring partner starts throwing punches, elbows, & kicks at my face w the same intention, effort, & force as garner does, it's no longer "light sparring" & definitely not "play-fighting."

[@adrianus6928]

Even when I was a kid and saw that fight the first time I was kinda enjoying it but from the middle to the end it felt weird although I couldn't tell exactly why... and in the Catwoman playground-fight scene I already was like "this is embarrasing and dumb".

Daredevil reminds me of the innocent days when I was filled with hope that Iron Fist would be good.

[@Jakeyisdead]

Ah the good old days when we had hope

[@KJ-ib4mh]

Definitely in the top 3 marvel fumbles SMH

[@CanadianWolverine]

Iron Fist was good ... in Luke Cage during the Warehouse fight. Scott Buck absolutely trashed Iron Fists own show.

[@ElyciusM]

Compared to some of the marvel films we have now it seems like a masterpiece. Imma be honest, I didn’t really like it, but the after credits scene of the last season made me so hype and then the Netflix shows got cancelled. He was also written amazing in his episode of Luke cage. Shows that Finn jones could definitely play a good iron fist, the writing just kinda sucked

it was good for 1 season.

I'm so glad you showed Daredevil, those fights really make you almost feel tired for him, as he throws out a few hits, struggling to keep up with the henchmen that are also taking their time to recover

[@nathanwilhelm1675]

THANK YOU for mentioning that Daredevil scene. It emphasizes that, while he has heightened senses, he is still just a man, a man with a job to do and is willing to die for what he believes in.

Neo and Morpheus’s sparring in the first matrix and then also Neo and Smith’s final train station fight are definitely worth analyzing!

@@doot978 I just did! Great video!

[@gsimon123]

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!

[@TROOPERfarcry]

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]

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.

[@casedistorted]

I have to say Spike Lee's Old Boy is bad. But what can we do. I just don't think Spike Lee really care dabout the movie much.

[@helloworld14895]

The Spike Lee version is bad in every way. He copies the original and makes every single scene worse

[@johnmarston1419]

What I understand is good. The original is foreign listeristic. I mean, he's getting overpowered and stomped by 20 guys and he's able to stand up through that. 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

[@spectre1004]

Wtf are talking about it’s fucking trash. Its worse in every way and makes shitty changes

[@ThundaFuzz]

I absolutely love the fight scenes in Upgrade. The stylistic choice to make the camera feel "robotic" when STEM takes over is the cherry on top.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Agreed! Amazing fight sequences :)

[@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337]

Personaly the amount of destruction in the final fight of MoS makes sense these are literally gods with superpowers fighting each other after all.

[@kahlzun]

i didnt mind Man Of Steel myself

[@maximiliangeiger169]

The action was actually one thing I liked about MoS. Very dragon ball-esque to an extent. However the emotional weight behind the fight is still lacking because of everything. that was gotten wrong about the character up to that point.

[@negative6442]

Honestly I thought the massive gravity machine the Kryptonians were using was so damn cool. Still think that, actually.

[@artwithmichael5547]

The point is it doesn’t make for good viewing. Realism isn’t everything.

[@MadHax-wt5tl]

@@artwithmichael5547 Well it always depends on the movie, in something dark and gritty you want the action to stay grounded. But if they did that in a big spectacular super hero movie, it'd be pretty disappointing. I'm just glad in Man of Steel, they finally did a Superman movie, where they utilised all the modern special effect technology, to give the character the wack bang pow fight he deserved.

[@clumsothechef]

I’ve always really loved the fight in mad max fury road between furiosa and max when they first meet. 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.

[@adamoz9090]

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.

[@LastBastian]

Transporter 1 is great. The "oil slick fight" was especially fun, imo!

[@randomsmile9064]

its a great reason why more action movies need to use actors that know how to fight along with stuntment that know how to fight .. you can make really good fight scenes without the need for cuts in the scenes.. also they know how to actually throw punches and stuff and actually look like they can fight..

[@SocialBobcat]

3:59 nitpicking here, but that's just kinda close to a Wilhelm scream, not the actual Wilhelm scream sound clip that's been used in countless movies

[@kyze8284]

Yea this one was an AyaaaHHHHHH as opposed to the AAAAAOOOOUUUHHHHH of good ol Wilhelm

[@K.A.Z.]

True,still I bet it was inspired by the real one,cause is way too exaggerated

[@cooldude3859]

I was going to say the same thing but it’s definitely inspired and changed to fit the ethnicity or language idk

[@Wynner3]

One of my favorite and most memorable fight scenes in a movie is from The Transporter. Jason Statham against several guys in a bus depot while covered in oil or grease.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

I've not seen it!

[@Maverickib]

The scene where he barges in the house to get back at them for blowing up his car is also extremely sharp. Every movement he makes is precise. It's a masterclass in telling a story and building a character within an action scene.

[@Maverickib]

@@MarcusFlemmings Has multiple good scenes. Worth a watch.

[@randomsmile9064]

more movies need to use actors that actually know how to fight.. along with stuntment that know how to fight.. it makes fights so much better overall without any need to cut fight scenes up..

[@pivorocks]

The bike pedals as grips, love it. Can’t forget the house invasion with the funky music. I like the fights in all 3 movies xD

[@71705558a]

The fight scenes in Danny the Dog/Unleashed with Jet Li work so well because, as you point out is necessary, you care about the characters. It's the rare fight movie where you kind of feel bad that the protagonist has to kick ass.

Almost better that way imo, as long as you found the original and got to be surprised about a better version.

[@ronaldbell7429]

Brandon Lee's movie "Rapid Fire." Some of my favorite fight scenes. He also does a wonderful job of showing you the exhaustion, and the "pushing through it" stuff. The other fighters in the movie were also outstanding.

[@TheParagonIsDead]

The dare devil one looks more like an actual fight. Old boy looks like they’re taking turns. Still great.

[@SewerTapes]

How deep have you analyzed that Steven Seagal vs Mike Tyson scene in The China Salesman? I'm convinced the two men were NEVER on set together, and it's all just compositing, bad editing, and doubles. It's a rabbit hole I cannot escape, and the more times I see the scene, the more convinced I become.

HE FINALLY GOT TO IT!! I didn't think he'd talk about the daredevil hallway scene since it's a show but i'm glad he covered it

[@alexlingle2213]

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.

[@simonfeilder]

Great to see Upgrade getting some love for it's very unique action. Recent genre recommends: 'Life After Fighting', 'Kill' & 'Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In' 🤓

[@John_Notmylastname]

Upgrade is awesome! Such a unique film.

[@josiahrodes7974]

Honestly so much of the criticisms feel so nitpicky and bad faith lol. Deliberately leaving details out, misrepresenting fight scenes, judging hidden cuts that are effectively the same differently, etc. Like with Man of Steel's no drama thing? Like what lol? That entire fight is for the survival of the human race. But for Superman himself, especially at the end when he controversially kills him, he's killing the last living member of his race. There's a lot of weight going on. And non distinguishable? I don't know what you were watching, but the fight is surprisingly clear for how much rubble is on screen.

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.

[@McFatteh]

I like that you talked about Return of the Jedi! I remember the Mr Plinkett Phantom Menace review where he touched on how the less-elegant less-flashy fights were all about the story and subtext or something. I think he mentioned that a very pumped up Luke, whose emotions are venturing into dangerously dark side-esque rage, absolutely would be just unrelenting in his wailing on Vader. There's no composure and cool stylised sword play but just overpowering Vader with how much fury he's striking at him with. And i do find it such a badass moment and, for me, it is more engaging than like the epic duel between Obi Wan and Anakin in episode 3 because of how much character is in it. Obviously to each their own, and i wouldn't anyone to not enjoy their favourite scenes just because of how i feel (and I'm not going to pretend that I didn't love the duel when i saw the movie), it's their right to enjoy it and I'm happy for them if it does bring joy to them. :) But, again, for me, it's a moment where you see how dangerous Luke could be if he gave in to the dark side (but of course he doesn't) and it's a shock to see cool, calm and collected terrifying Darth Vader suddenly not being in control and even collapsing to the floor, helplessly just trying to hold his lightsaber up to attempt to shield from the blows Luke is Luke-ing all over him. There's probably much cleverer things one could say about this RotJ fight but ceebs analysing it right now, I'm currently in bed at 10 p.m. procrastinating from doing the dishes

[@thewebhead101]

Oh totallt agree, Luke V Vader in RotJ is peak cinema fighting, like you said the best part was when Luke said it was Lukeing time then Luked all over Vader.

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.

[@sofuzzywuzzy]

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.

Great video, I love when you touch on the context outside of the fight showing what makes it strong and comparing the standard film style relative to the fight. This comes up mostly in the old boy original cut, when you showed the cuts of the og film cuts I felt chills. This is mostly due to the strength of the og film but your editing was great and this great editing continued throughout the vid. I'd love for you to evolve the series into what is the heart of good fight scenes instead of breading down bad ones.

[@julianseguin2748]

I strongly have to disagree with your criticism of Man of Steel. "These are movies" is not a critique. Saying "there is no drama" makes no sense. And why the fuck are you or anyone else comparing it to Atomic Blonde? That's a totally different universe. Plus, the woman was beating the men up because she had shot one of them already, and had stabbed the other. They were clearly stronger and tougher but they were taking more damage from her weapons. Come on, man.

[@juggram_99]

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)

[@Nihilful]

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.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Yeah, it's good for sure! The jumps are there to stitch the cuts :) but yeah, with that comes a kinetic feeling and visa versa!

Something I've always preferred about animation when it comes to fight scenes is that it doesn't suffer from the problem of actors clearly waiting to be hit, or not looking like they're REALLY trying to kill each other. There are certainly movies that pull it off, but with animation you can do anything.

John Wick VS Cassian, the one where they fight hand to hand in the street, down a flight of stairs and so on... AMAZING!

[@HauntedHemo13]

The Kingsman fight scene might always be my favorite I think. The chaos, the action, the freebird

[@MarcusFlemmings]

The freebird being the best of those 3!

[@kristiangustafson4130]

Ah mate you did Upgrade! Thanks, that was my suggestion! Good stuff.

[@TylerRamos-h2o]

Love this video series! You should definitely breakdown other movie tropes in the same fashion

[@MarcusFlemmings]

I'm definitely looking into it! Car crashes and Stunts are on the channel already - have a little watch!

[@ItsYaBoiV]

I feel like that Daredevil hallway scene was the exact moment that any last doubters had to admit this was a damn good show

[@Fleato]

the daredevil fight set suchhhhhh a high standard for that show that it really did not live up to. The old boy esque sequence really had me solddddddd

[@shittydiaperHD]

this is such a lie every daredevil fight was on par with that first fight you had to have not been watching

[@elementblue780]

"But Arcane is TV, so we'll move on." You literally just did a TV show as your first fight scene. This video is seriously all over the place.

[@mainsource8030]

daredevil and punisher AND ARCANE are all on netflix to boot, echo is on disney, so all are tv

[@artwithmichael5547]

Two of my favourite fights star Benny the Jet. Wheels on Meals and Grosse Pointe Blank. One is ultimate Jackie Chan Goodness. The other is brutal and fast. They could be compared to many failed attempts at the same vibe.

[@sVieira151]

That little bit where you showed Come and See just reminded me about the film. What a fucking film, man.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Agreed!

[@John_Notmylastname]

Upgrade RULES. Such a great film and suggest everyone to see it. Incredible fight scenes.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Agreed! Incredible film!

[@thedungeon1578]

If you haven't covered/seen the Korean superhero show Moving (TV, not movie, but still), there are a number of GREAT fight scenes in that show. Frank vs Naju in episode 4, Hui-so vs the 17 bullies in episode 5 (more gritty, less skill-based, but still great), Juwan vs the entire gang hallway/multi-room fight in episode 11, and basically most the fights from the end (especially episodes 18 and 19). Great series. If you haven't watched it yet, do yourself the favor.

[@iordanec]

13:01 - 13:04 USSR Belarus film that called "Come and See" 1985. Really emotional and deep

[@declangenova7611]

I think Code 8 has decent fights. Its a pretty unique movie involving various mutants that have specific abilities like electricity.

[@redkommie80]

Sold. Subbed. Looking forward for future installments

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Volume 4 is out now :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKXNemOEfNuXppo&lc=UgwfdA0GYDhBQTofnBx4AaABAg

[@maxsteiner1964]

You just mention one of my best, if not THE best fight ever, so no, no more suggestion from me, lol. Good video my man.

[@elementblue780]

Every time there's a fight scene in a hallway or a scene done in one take, it's always apparently "hugely inspired by Oldboy".

[@mavrikmavrik3032]

Well you got the DD hallway fight and a pretty deep dive into those style of fights. Thanks, very interesting to see some of them as I haven’t watched many of those movies.

[@bigstonez1125]

Hardcore Henry was such a fun move! And Nobody was so incredibly cool!

[@MarcusFlemmings]

I need to watch it!

[@bigstonez1125]

@@MarcusFlemmings YES!!

[@czechmex88]

Mid-2000's techno slop is such an accurate description

[@darkcabinproductions4575]

The spike Lee old boy fight scene is a actual good fight scene in my opinion, I also loved the Ben affleck daredevil play fight scene lol it was fitting for the vibe in that scene.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Pahahaha! No comment re: Daredevil

[@darkcabinproductions4575]

@@MarcusFlemmings lmao I mean it was cheesy as hell but that’s something I miss from those early 2,000’s movies

[@stencilman5030]

The Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies! How he establishes the "fighting super power" of Sherlock Holmes and subverts them in the second movie ! God I love this shit

[@casedistorted]

Ahh the excellent Daredevil fight. I am so glad Daredevil is coming back, the hallway scene and prison fight scenes were some of my favorites. I also really liked Man of Steel, saw it in theaters with my dad and it was the version of Superman I had wanted to see for most of my life, and the epic fight scenes that caused so much destruction reminded me of the Doomsday vs Superman comic I grew up with and loved in the 90's. It is just too bad Zack Snyder made such a poor version of Doomsday for the big screen. Ironically Marvis Frazier was very proud of what he accomplished as a fighter and going against Tyson, he wasn't ashamed at all considering what happened, and Joe Frazier was proud of his son for doing his best and trying in boxing and getting as far as he did, considering he went against one of the greatest boxers of all time.

[@chanceroberson7517]

I love the idea of daredevil mid fight throwing a microwave as hard as he can mid fight

[@Synthetic-Rabbit]

As someone who watched Oldboy probably 13 years ago.. I knew exactly where it was inspired from lol. I've also seen the entire "Vengeance Trilogy" which I highly recommend.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

The first isn't the best, Oldboy is fab! Lady Vengeance is okay but style over substance!

[@Synthetic-Rabbit]

@@MarcusFlemmings Oldboy is the best IMO. I very much liked Mr. Vengeance with Mrs. being my third favorite but I enjoyed them all.

[@sgtlaughter]

Vol 4 just gonna be the fight scene from "They Live".

[@jase276]

If there's any guilty pleasure fight scene I have it's definitely the Daredevil one vs Elektra. It's so dumb but damned do I love it because it screams 2000's

[@thetalentof]

Still the best fight scenes I have ever seen to date would include The Bourne Ultimatum (Desh vs Bourne), Atomic Blonde (the one-take), The Hunted (final knife-fight), Die Hard (Karl vs McClane), The Perfect Weapon (gym fight), Lionheart (carpark fight against the Scotsman), Safe (restaurant fight), The Transporter (oil fight), Soldier (Todd vs Caine), The Mask Zorro (Zorro vs Captain Love), Jack Reacher (final rain fight), Firewall (final fight), Empire Strikes Back (Luke vs Vader), Eastern Promises (bathroom fight), Gladiator (Maximus vs Tigris), Mission Impossible 3 (Hunt vs Davian), Showdown in Little Tokyo (final sword fight), The Gunman (final knife fight), The Last Samurai (ambush fight) and Spectre (train fight).

[@Korzhansky]

You missed the main point in Upgrade. The change in camera movement when Stem takes control is explained through visual language. It shows that Grey is no longer in control of himself; someone else is driving. This becomes especially clear at the very end of the film, when Stem has completely taken over.

[@hershmergersh6733]

Give me Return of the Jedi's lightsaber fight over ANY other. So much power in that scene

[@valoulenstein9020]

Great video, maybe you should consider talking about the Tony vs Ralphie fight in The Sopranos, I was reminded of it when you showed the Breaking Bad scene, it's quite similar but way more scrappy on brutal imo

[@MarcusFlemmings]

A few people have mentioned this!!

[@RayLeehar]

Hey, Marcus, the scene in Matt Reeves' The Batman when ' 'Vengeance' fights those thugs on the subway platform was a great fight scene, Timothee Chalamet and Austin Butler's scene in Dune:Part 2, Bane & Batman in that underground bunker(?) in The Dark Knight Rises, Bruce Lee vs. Han in Enter the Dragon (in the mirror room), and when Hobbs and Shaw fought for the first time in Furious 7, just to name a few.

[@MarcusFlemmings]

Love these! You may be getting a couple of those in VOLUME 4 tomorrow ;-)
