Mad respect for dedicating an entire episode to the Shang Chi movie and the team behind it! The bus sequence was one of the most refreshing fight scenes since Winter Soldier and the crew did it justice.

As a former martial artist, I'm used to mainstream American movies fumbling martial arts fight scenes. I went into Shang Chi hoping for one good fight, maybe at the story's climax. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of high caliber, well-executed fights. They just kept coming. Kudos to the hard work these pros put in to make that happen.

Yeah they definitely put the work in. One fight that I wish they'd gone a little bit further on was the Wenwu beats up the gang in the supper club but I think the temptation would be to push the limits and you can't really risk going too violent in a PG-13 Marvel flick so I understand

What I really love is how they took the grace and elegance of movement from movies like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon then putting actual gravity in it. So it really doesn't feel like they're just floating with wires. You can still feel the weight.

[@Rrusso92]

Hey Corridor Crew! I just wanted to say thanks for bringing behind the scenes content back to the people! When dvds first came out, they used to have hours worth of extra content and special features. In the recent years, it’s been slowly going down and is almost nonexistent. These types of videos are great, and hold true to what special features used to be back in the day. I would specifically buy certain versions of movies for more content! Thanks so much for what you all do! It’s very entertaining, and hits me in the nostalgia pretty hard sometimes.

[@macmcleod1188]

Not being intensely disagreeable but it didn't feel that way to me. Many of the scenes felt like they were brought to the 80 to 90% level and then they just stopped. I think the previs group maybe making everything Bland. The movie was too dark for some of the action scenes to see what was happening and in other scenes the CGI was too obvious. Love the actor from Kim's Convenience and like the movie but felt the movie was too dark and a bit lazy. I had no interest in seeing a second time. I have seen most marvel products between two and a half dozen times.

[@morambam9897]

Disney pay off!

[@Joao-oy8yk]

Not in that first scene. I feel like the slow motion the way it was used took away a lot of the impact. This also happened in several other scenes.

[@jacobhite9042]

Hearing them talk about their on set collaboration and the value of having fully fledged directors working on specific aspects is so cool. As a music producer, if the clients you’re working with are also producers themselves, it’s a totally different game. Very cool to see such strong parallels in very different fields.

[@IceMetalPunk]

Same goes in my field (software development). When you have clients, or even managers, who understand how coding works, it's so much more fluid than when they don't. Nothing worse than when a client asks, "So can you just [do this thing that requires refactoring the entire application]? I know we didn't put it in the initial request, but it'll be what, one day of extra work?" Or when a project manager asks, "Can you just merge this code in? I know it hasn't been functionally validated, or even peer reviewed, and no one ran unit tests on that branch, but we're on a deadline so merge it, please and thanks."

[@wren7195]

Rest in peace, Brad Allan. What an incredible man, fighter, choreographer. Good friend and team member of Jackie Chan. He will be deeply missed.

I took my nephew to see this, and he (like the little teenage jerk he is 😂) decided to see it with friends opening night, but then still ask me to wait a week to go with him "because I want to see it again with you". So a week later, we went, him having already seen it, and in the first 10 minutes, when we get to the first Li vs Wenwu scene in Ta Lo, I leaned over to him and whispered, ".......I love this movie already." The choreography, man... it is *splendid.* The Ta Lo "fluid airbending" style especially is just *so damned pretty* that I would honestly watch a supercut of this movie with just the fight scenes -- everything else cut out -- and probably still love it. Not as much, because of course the rest of the film was also amazing, but definitely would still love it.

[@rae.......]

I really enjoyed this episode. Their insights most certainly showed the importance of bridging the gap between stunt performance and film making. You can really see it in the final product. Shang-Chi was amazing! I hope that we can see a future whereby film productions let everyone shine in their own fields. Film lasts forever and I believe that so will its audiences if you allow everyone to do their thing.

[@kristenl2367]

The choreography in Shang Chi was so slick and eye-catching. As someone who doesn't typically notice these things, the action scenes in this movie really stood out. It was almost like dancing. The jacket scene, the bus scene, the parents' scene, and the scaffolding scene are all things I will remember for a while 😅. I'm now a massive fan!

This is why a great movie doesn't just show the greatness of the lead director; it highlights it but everyone involved should be attributed by it in some ways.

I was wearing raycon earbuds while watching this and decided to give an actual review. Drawbacks are that the awareness mode doesn't really do anything, they fall out while chewing, and sometimes if my head is tilted too long. But overall they're great their max volume blocks out other noises and can't be heard by people more than three feet from you, they are very durable I've dropped mine multiple times, once into a pan of water and they sound exactly the same, very comfortable, easy to use (most of the time), long battery life, and great audio. One thing you might see a lot of if you look at other reviews is that they "stop working" but this just means they're having pairing issues that can be fixed by turning them off and on, disconnecting and reconnecting, or leaving them in their case for a minute. Overall great earbuds. Also sweat doesn't effect them and they've never fallen out while exercising.

Actors doing the talk show circuit doesn't get me excited for films or anything like that, because they're just doing a contractual obligation and aren't really invested in the interviews. I mean, hell, often most of the interviews are all the same. But this, having some of the talent that worked on the film come on and talk about it? It REALLY makes me want to watch those movies. Their positivity and passion for the project really affects me, gets me to actually want to watch things I'm otherwise not really interested in, and really makes me appreciate the picture a whole lot more. Thanks to Chris and Yung for doing this interview, because now I actually want to watch Shang-Chi. I hope for many more episodes like this.

[@Cosmitzian]

To be fair, they are just talking stunts. I enjoyed the work put into the movie, but i can't say i really liked the pacing or the narrative all that well. The guys, even stunt directors that you see here, in the end just do a 'their bit' of the story which they get handed, and as good as fight scenes can be, for me at least, having poor character motivations for example kills that joy of watching him/her act in that world.

I remember saying this after watching Shang-Chi, this was everything Ironfist could have been, it was like a better, longer version of the warehouse fight where Luke Cage and Ironfist team up and we get a taste of Heroes For Hire possibilities.

It would be okay, but I don't think it would work much better with Aang's style. What made the animation work is that the air was "colored" to be visible. Here, they're using leaves and you can see that it's not quite as crisp or clear. (It's not bad; it's just less clear than the animated Avatar fights.) Like, take Aang's finishing move on The Drill. You'd need some kind of visible effect to show that shockwave, and it'd need to clearly read as air pressure, not energy. On a constantly vibrating surface like the drill, you wouldn't have enough loose material to visually show what just happened. It's a challenge. I'm sure some VFX person will figure something out someday, though.

Hi, this is my first time commenting on anything on KZbin but I couldn’t resist suggesting a series of films. I have always loved the fighting in Jackie Chan films but i have always thought the action in Jet Li’s old Hong Kong films to be much more interesting. I highly suggest the drunken final fight in once upon a time in China 3. You’d have to watch the whole film to really understand all the dynamics going on but the choreography is just so crazy. Another scene would be the fight between Jet Li and Donnie Yen in Once Upon a Time in China 2 where they fight with a bamboo poles and Donnie pulls out a ‘cloth stick’. please check out these films for stunt work if you’ve never experienced these films and consider reacting to them. I’d love to see your reactions. I feel they are under appreciated compared to Jackie Chan’s fights. Other amazing fight films with jet li are the Fong Sai Yuk films. Thanks!

But I guess time will tell. One thing I found to be really awesome was the use of visual elements to explain what was happening. Instead of someone pointing and shouting. "Hey the bus is gonna split." What did you find caught your attention?

[@100Peterll]

Well yeah, they did bring some people that worked with Jackie Chan so it paid off immensely

[@jonfx6768]

Everyone’s praising the choreography (which dont get me wrong is amazing) but can we please appreciate the freakin soundtrack for a moment? Shang chi’s soundtrack bangs

[@Jack_Wolfe]

4:44 are we not going to talk about the cool tunnel transition? SUCH an awesome way to change the scenery lighting without forcing it to be outside in a single lighting setting.

[@LordofDD24]

Awesome episode, great to see how excited Chris and Yung were working on this

[@stachefonzi]

Good gunfight films that predate the 2000s: you’ve already featured Hard Boiled but if there are any scenes (maybe the boat/dock shootout?) that you haven’t gone over then it’s worth a look. The Way of The Gun is another absolutely incredible gunfight movie from that era. The car “chase” shootout was cool as well as the end showdown in a Mexican brothel.

[@sirarterian]

One of my all-time favorite shoot out scenes is in the movie True Romance, so many different groups in 1 room all there for different reasons, a lot going on, very chaotic!

[@ryancairns2317]

3:34 completely agree with you there Niko, I just think it's a shame he felt like the script/narrative demoted him to a lesser supporting role, like, it's an origin story intended to introduce us to his character,engage us in his journey and showcase everything he is about.... surely I'm not the only one who thought there should have been more focus on him

[@lovleen]

fight scenes in shang chi were so cool, they did a great job

[@tevin407]

Corridor Crew is Killing it with the reactions and other content lately! Keep Up The Good Work!!🔥🔥

[@TBCman99]

I recognized Yung from his youtube days and Rocket Jump!!! He used to go by GakAttack! So cool to see how far he has come, really awesome!

[@whalehands4779]

This has been by far one of the funnest and best episodes yet. I love the stuntmen react videos.

[@maybetoby]

The results are always amazing whenever filmmakers allow stuntmen to do what they do best. Lol I love that Chris snuck in that UA shot.

[@AlissonAlvesDeAraujo]

You guys should definitely make a "Directors react to bad & great plots", i'd love to watch!

[@cannabiscanuck4262]

That fight between shang chi's parents is easily top 3 fights in the MCU

[@MonkeyBoyUK]

Loved this film, the fight scenes & story are EPIC🔥🔥 these guys did a truly amazing job!!

[@sloanNYC]

The fight scenes were done incredibly well. Bravo!

[@JustKrin]

I was so waiting this reaction/breakdown. I remember an interview that Daniel Cretton did that the movie was influenced by so many Asian movies, the wuxia style in the fight between Shang-Chi's mom and Wenwu, Oldboy and Jackie during the bus, Jackie also during the scaffolding outside the building, Hong Kong crime films that are Tony Leung's bread and butter. It was amazing

[@ugajeremy3403]

Seeing and hearing the pride in their voices lifted my spirits and I absolutely needed it today! You all rock so much!

[@TeaGamingPanda]

So many greats and legends worked on this Brad Allen, Yuen Wah, Michelle Yeoh, Tony Leung, Andy Le, etc. it’s phenomenal! Eastern action meets Western film. Can never go wrong with Eastern action!

[@ws4jb]

Love that guys like this are getting put on Major projects more and more.

[@user-qb3xb9ym6t]

As a boy from asia, I watched Jackie chan my whole childhood...... But honestly to me.... Now matter how good the choreography is in this movie, nothing beated Jackie.

[@cupguin]

Of course, no argument Jackie Chan is a whole other level. But you should take inspiration from the best.

[@whynotanyting]

It's awesome seeing more and more industry professionals on your show. Really great way for stuntmen to talk about their careers and for viewers to get a bit more personal behind-the-scenes info on these takes.

[@devjock]

The action figure choreography practice, my god, that is amazing!

[@CassianoAlcassa]

Those guys are amazing, I absolutely love their work. So happy they worked on Shang-Chi!

[@BrokoIis]

Arcane just released it's last episodes and it was awesome! I would love your guys' insight into the animation and style of Arcane.

[@redsands1001]

Ha. Was about to watch ep 7 but stopped to watch this

[@nightspicer]

It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight (tho technically it's sabers i think) You gotta react to the *last agni kai fight from ATLA.* It's so stunning! And *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!*

[@PenneySounds]

It would be interesting for them to get Kisu in to react to Avatar

[@Lindenmuthbrian]

Pre-2000 gunfight. The climactic gunfight from the Japanese noir A Colt is My Passport. Amazing energy, movement, and the variety of camera shots that enhance the action. A true classic

[@ValeryKondor]

I love that Marvel brought together so many young and new people and just gave them to do whatever they think is best! I rewatched Shang-Chi a couple of times now and holy, it's so beautifully filmed movie! It takes my breath away every time!

[@AustinMicallef]

The more I learn about the filmmaking process behind Shang-Chi, the more I love this film.

[@alicehargest]

We've been watching Simu Liu in Kim's Convenience for ages now seeing him on the big screen is amazing! I'm so happy to see the team that brought this to life too!!

[@PenneySounds]

What I found funny was the scene at the bar where "Shaun" talks about telling someone he's Chinese, not Korean. Because I'm pretty sure there was a scene in Kim's Convenience where Jung says the exact reverse.

[@aurora_skies_]

Same! The guy is so talented! So proud of him, such an amazing movie

[@hojirick]

I think is was one of my favorite stuntmen react vids ever. Thanks for sharing!! It's awesome

[@davirasm]

I love the action figures previs. Shows a creative mind can accomplish anything.

[@jasonblalock4429]

It doesn't predate the 2000s, but you guys *really* should cover "Shoot 'Em Up" with Clive Owen someday. It's a parody of gun-fu movies that also has some of the best gun-fu ever shot.

[@hollyshouse928]

Love that movie

[@PenneySounds]

Gunpower Milkshake is another one in a similar vein. Felt like Shoot Em Up meets John Wick to me
