Drive (1997) End Fight Scene

[@mrhrd7560]

man... after all these years the action scene is better than most hollywood mainstream movies

[@luaking8930]

Right!! It so good!

[@locastmincer]

And yet the Internet has yet to make Reaction videos to this magnificent gem. I bet there's at least 2 react videos about this to date. This movie is so culty, it is beyond appreciation. Oi Internet you truly know not what you are missing out on.

[@saturn2fire]

I think this would be because the director, Steve Wang, incorporated both action choreography and action filming techniques from HK action films. One of the examples is what Jackie Chan mentioned where the camera is still on a wide angle to show the moves and combos. This highlighted the athleticism of the actors. This is no longer the norm in Hollywood mainstream movies where the camera is sooooo jiggly with lots of cuts, angle changes and POV just to hide both the actor's flaws and choreo flaws.

[@abbysands9510]

True, never understood why they didn't make a sequel.

This fight scene puts the likes of Bourne and any other copy-cat in the shade. Mark Dacascos deserves to have been a major “A” List superstar.

[@kevynhansyn2902]

Have you seen him recently. He has been getting damn good roles, only because real non brainwashed actors seen his potential. He makes a fantastic villain as well.

[@AmosTheTalented]

I love when the upgrade gets super boosted, his stance and fighting style changes. He becomes more aggressive, but looses his technique.

I first saw Mark Dacascos movie in 1998 and was a big fan ever since. But after the start of the 2000s it was so sad to see how little great roles he was offered. He could have been BIG. He should have been big.

[@zhenyamugisa9423]

He actually got roles in big movies of the time but not martial arts movies , Brotherhood of the Wolf ,Island of Dr.Moreau(as the leopard guy) but yeah he should have been as big an action star as Keanu or Jackie chan. Because he is a martial artist and has aged wonderfully like most Asians ,maybe he will have a resurgence maybe with Expendables? I think he should be in the new Mortal Kombat movie

[@x3csP]

@@zhenyamugisa9423 Oh, I know his work well. And I couldn't agree more with the rest of your post. I like him the most in smaller movies like Drive, Only the strong and Crying freemen is in my top three movies of all time which is saying a lot since I've watched a lot of movies :D

[@zhenyamugisa9423]

@@x3csP Oh you're talking to a fellow fan who has followed him diligently since 95, Crying Freeman and Drive are among my faves.Technique wise Drive is his best, Stylistically or storywise Crying Freeman is his best. Such an elegant aesthetically pleasant film. I even know obscure ones like Sabotage and DNA. I thought Cradle to the Grave would be the film that brings him back into the spotlight but it's like the martial arts craze of the 90s had died off but yeah he is still fit as a fiddle and needs to do a film just to show guys he's still got it.I mean it's a new wave of old warrior /ex assassin movies like Taken, Equaliser are hitting..why not do one with a sci-,fi element like some time travelling hunter who appears in ancient times, then 1800s and maybe 2010 to battle some time fugitives or exiles. It would have to be big budget I guess but yeah if he pitches it to Keanu with Keanu's clout and interest in acting with co-stars more than once it could happen. He has always been my favourite action star despite knowing the regulars like Van Damme or Jackie Chan ,but Dacascos always got my attention as the most graceful.Incredible martial artist.Like you I wish he was bigger

[@taichisuzuki1207]

0:11 So that's where Resident Evil 5 got that idea from of wesker throwing his sunglasses at Chris to distract him and start a fight. (also copied in the RE movies).

Of all the movies I had seen of Marrk this is the best choroegraphed. Others they suck so bad. They made him looked like a shity martial-artist and did not give justice to his skills and talent. This, however, brought out the best of him. They play this film on Solar channel and when I ever I see it I watch it again and again again. Thanks tk youtube wemcan watch the parts we loved and enjoyed ar martial--art lovers and fans of Mark. A proud Filipino.

[@RichterBelmont2235]

It's not just the actor, the fight choreograph director is also a major factor. No matter how good the actors are, without the director's meddling, the fight choreographer always have the final says.

[@ravindavinthescandinavian4998]

@@saramcdonalds9038There was a film where Mark Dacascos was one of the bad guys and Jet Li was one of the heroes in the movie, so of course Jet Li won in that one. Just checked and it was called “Cradle 2 the Grave”, and Mark was the enforcer for a gang trying to get some powerful crystals that could generate almost unlimited energy. Jet and crew were trying to stop them. The fight was unfortunately a little anticlimactic - I don’t think the producers wanted to see Jet stretched too much, so the fight was quite dull by both their standards and pretty short if I remember correctly.
