The Art of Fight Scenes

Fight Scenes. While they are the biggest appeal to casual audiences, most big budget things don't even give them attention. Some do but most directors don't even care. And it shows when you watch most movies today.
This video focuses on my categories on what makes a good fight scene. Following this criteria should give you a good idea on what fight scenes I respond to. Because it is subjective. You might disagree with what I value. That's fine. While I did make the point 3 seconds ago, sometimes I still have major problems with fight scenes that clearly did have a lot of effort put into them. That might be something you respond to. But we can both admit that Namor vs Shuri is one of the worst fight scenes ever made.
Thank you guys for watching. We are now sitting at 10 THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS. So thank you guys. Next video will be the speedster tier list. I wanna thank everyone who gave me recommendations on the speedsters I should cover. So now I will get on that. Time is flying tho. I gotta play spider man 2 and ufc 5 for sure. Also I wanna play frickin cyberpunk fantom liberty. But yeah thats a nut game but I already installed it off santa's wifi so thanks santa.
Guys also Kung Fu Panda 4 is in development. Holy. I hope its good but they get worse every time bedbass. I really, really hope its good tho. Speaking of KFP4, I forgot about puss and boots in this video. That sucks. But dude imagine KFP plus PIB Fight scenes into one? That's a crazy combination. Please dreamworks. Please.
Thanks guys love you

Every single move that Po uses in the final fight is foreshadowed. Like even down to when Tai Lung punches him and he pops back up. Po learned by getting beaten by the training dummy. He fell down the stairs several times so he can use it to his advantage. It is visual excellence.

One of the best fight scenes oat imo is the fight scene between Zuko and Azula from ATLA. The contrast between blue fire vs orange fire, insanity vs peace, redemption vs self righteousness, daughter of Ozai vs son of Ursa, and aggressive vs collected. The animation and look of the sequence is so beautiful and flows perfectly. The amount of emotional baggage being built up to this point is impeccable. So much is said during this scene despite there being very little dialogue. The moment when Azula realizes she is going to lose and she shoots at Katara so Zuko tanks the lightning blast is a great way to segway the ending. Katara ends up defeating Azula making for a sour ending where no one is there to take care of Azula but Katara rushes to save Zuko. This fight scene is not only beautiful and perfectly choreographed, but it dives deeper into the characters and examines the climax of Zuko and Azulas differences through metaphorical dichotomies. This is a perfect golden example of what a fight should be, and its not even the best part of the show.

[@StuffyMc]

The thing about the Boys' climactic fight between Butcher and Homelander that really pissed me off is how abysmal Butcher's fighting was. I fully expected and WANTED them to show that Butcher was immensely more skilled than Homelander because, for fuck's sake, he was in the SAS. Then he comes out swinging like a little kid that's never so much as seen a boxing match. He should have wiped the fucking floor with Homelander, him being a wholly undisciplined manchild that has been relying exclusively on his powers for his entire life, and Butcher being a special forces badass. Huge missed opportunity, it really sucked ass to see.

[@EugeneOneguine]

I think Homelander would still take it, because of ... sigh ... power levels, but yeah. Butcher definitely needed more technical moves, at least enough to confuse Homelander, before his sheer powers get back on top.

[@Toadster115]

Yeah. I'm surprised he did not mention the end of the previous season with Stormfront. It was painful and absolutely took me out of the experience. There were moments were characters stood still and threw punches as the other reacted. It looked slow, awful, clunky. The show also explained Maeve and Starlight both trained to fight beforehand too. But yeah huge missed opportunity with Butcher there, as he's built up to be an SAS badass. I think it's a great show but fight scenes range from bland to horrible.

[@nunyabiznes7446]

Yeah, I don't love classic kung fu movie style fights because I'm watching an incredibly effective form of martial combat. I love it because holy shit did you see what he just did with that chair???

I can't be the only one to find it hilarious that you called out kung fu as less of a fighting sport and more like gymnastics for then to say that kung fu panda had some of the best fight scenes. Even if by accident it's amazing.

[@pepperpeterpiperpickled9805]

To get the ambiance of the movie, production designer Raymond Zibach and art director Heng Tang spent several years researching Chinese art and Kung Fu movies. This effort, combined with the rest of the crew's extensive research and knowledge of Chinese culture, so impressed the Chinese that there were meetings by official government cultural bodies to discuss why their own country has not produced animated movies of such quality themselves.

[@VunderGuy]

Well, it helps that the guys making the movies weren't commies and that most kung-fu movies were made in Hong Kong during British rule.

[@dudeiii2069]

Idk about your take man. I don’t really agree with any of your point either than narrative. When it comes to power level and impact i felt like the point can be summed down to consistently (i know im simplifying a bit but its a youtube comment so take it easy). Most fight that has 0 consistency or bad choreography are still quite good if it has a narrative weight to it. I remember watching cap vs iron man and was still pretty excited ignoring a lot of power level inconsistency. Same goes with so many fight scenes like in daredevil or lord of the rings. I remember when Gandalf came in and safe the battle in helms deep leading a cavalry charge down a hill I was quite excited because it was very well written. But then I watched it again on youtube, then I realized all the horses will just tumble down the hills. In the moment I definitely didn’t think or care to think about the logistics of sending an entire calvalry charge down a hill into a bunch of shield and spears pointing at the horses because I was already invested in the narrative and simply didn’t focus on that, the same can be said for pretty mucb everyone who watched LOTR. I think good fight scenes relies on the narrative to hide away elements that can’t be hide, like plot armor or the fact that you probably can’t actually punch the stuntman, or you just realized in the editing room that the long-take isn’t completely perfect. Only when the story is really fucking bad that you realize a lot of the flaws pointed out like battle of winterfell where the narrative makes no sense so rather than actually being invested you kinda just don’t give a shit. Same goes for pointless fight scenes without any narrative weight like the Spot fight scene, or like 80% of the new MCU movies. Fight kinda just happens for the sake of fighting and that makes the fight scene prone to nit-picking. My main point is, in my opinion, the only truly important element is narrative, the rest are secondary and if done well is just a plus. If you want good consistency and actual fighting skills try the UFC.

[@bevvvy1374]

L take on The Spot, he's compelling because it's a look into the collateral damage superheroes can cause and potentially make people bitter and vitriolic towards heroes. The fact that he's played as a joke in the beginning is great at subverting audience expectation to make him such an intimidating villain later on once he utilizes his powers correctly.

Kingpin mourns the loss of his family, like miles loses his uncle, but both are different in how they cope with it, as kingpin wants to bring them back.

I think it’s hard to make real fighting look exciting because what really works isn’t always cool. If you watch 2 of the best people in the world fight it’s not always so 2 sided. Especially when you’re on the ground it’s mostly waiting for opportunities to arise while being in a good position and in stand up it’s a lot of prep and game plan which is why people would rather just watch the head kick rather than the body kicks that lower their hands to set it up.

[@ClashBluelight]

Whether or not a fight is realistic or looks like a real event doesn't matter to me. My suspension of disbelief will cover that. I can accept some punches being off the mark because we don't want a real guy's nose broken just as much as I can accept a wizard casting a CGI spell. In my mind, I'll accept both as reality for the purposes of consuming the story. Where things break for me is when the story itself doesn't make sense. I'm fine with Superman existing, but I'm not fine with him dying to a random racoon bite. If the writer has shown a character to be super durable before, I'll hold that against them later when they make the character lose. Same goes for a previously established weak character winning. The writer better have a good reason, or else my immersion will be broken. Spider-man defeating Venom through the use of sound is a great example of this. How did the weak guy beat the strong guy? Well, the strong guy had a weakness. If there were no weakness, however, then I would have a hard time believing the fight. Even Kung Fu Panda does this. The reason Tai Lung lost to Po wasn't that Po had higher stats or a superior style. It was because his entire worldview got destroyed in the middle of a life or death battle and his insta-kill move didn't work on pandas. If neither of those were the case, then Kung Fu Panda would join the ranks of bad movies where the villain has to be nerfed for the final battle.

Gore is often used as a crutch by bad writers to make it appear as if a fight has stakes and tension. Kung Fu Panda has no graphic content whatsoever and manages to be tense and have high stakes. Blood should never be the focus of a scene, but it should be present if the show is intended for a more mature audience. People don't risk their lives for no reason, you need a very solid reason for your character to risk their lives like that. Pretty much blood and gore should just be there for immersion. In real life, fighters aren't trying to make their opponents bleed, but it happens as a result of fighting. But for the most part, they're trying to end the fight as quickly as possible. So for fights to go on and on with blood and dismemberment often works against them. It breaks immersion and it's also ugly and uncomfortable to watch. Same thing with sex and nudity. I don't think it can ever be justified in movies. Unless they go to the beach. Or in a movie like "It follows" where sex is a main theme, then it makes sense. And they still approach it with more class than a show like GoT which is supposed to be about cutthroat medieval politics.

[@jsmith434w]

Oh lastly, one of my favorite battles of all time is Darth Vader vs Luke. I prefer the Bespin one where Luke is totally powerless and is defeated in all aspects: pure strength, technique, strategy and force ability. But the 2nd fight is also great where they're not just clashing swords in that one. Fights are best when it's a result of two people being unable to settle their differences any other way after having tried. Fights need to be about something important. Okay I'm done monologuing now.

[@praisethesun3089]

Eh, most media that shows gore uses it to emphasize the quickness of it. Other than Invincible and the Boys, that have literal superheroes in it, most gorey fights end quickly, emphasizing the brutality. I do agree that some media makes gore their only selling point, same with nudity and sex, but like RSG said in the video, if it conveys impact, it is only one layer of the fight. Everything else has to come hand in hand for it to work tastefully

[@jsmith434w]

@@praisethesun3089 Conveys impact, maybe yes. It's more immersive to have gore, but it doesn't mean you have to put the camera on it. It doesn't have to and shouldn't become an additional character in the scene. I guess my issue is with gratuitous violence (and sex). Here's some great examples of gore: ghost in the shell: ripping off her arm to destroy the tank has real, long lasting consequences. taking off her clothes is essential to the story, and also subverts the nudity trope in two ways: because she's not really naked, and because it highlights how low the world had sunken to that she has to expose herself like that. its definitely world building and character development for her to do that. i know she's not really naked, but from a story telling perspective, it's treated as if she was, as if she was exposed and vulnerable. it's why she gets dressed back up again. it's even more shameful for her, because i believe being robotic is part of her character motivations to begin with. the wheole movie is really a masterclass in writing. akira: body horror, loss of control. it's the whole theme. the gore isn't about gore, it's about loss of control. it's a story telling tool kill bill: when she takes the eye from Elle, sure there's always some indulgence in Quentin Tarantino movie, but it's a very poetic ending for the character of Elle, and it shows that Beatrix isn't pursuing revenge because she enjoys murder, but because she's *very* spiteful. pulp fiction: killing the black guy in the car has HUGE story implication. you dont just gore someone and move on. it's a big deal. and this movie does a good job treating it as such. then you get invincible where the dude gets punched over and over and he's just... fine. sorry but the human brain can only take so much trauma because you go unconscious or in a coma. the boys constantly have gratuitous violence just to show how edgy they are, but there is no consequence to it whatsoever. they make a spectacle out of goring human beings. there is no weight to it. when the racist girl kills the asian brother, why does she break his hands first? it's just gratuitous. homelander destroying the crowd with his laser is actually when i got done being taken for a fool by these writers who cant commit to what they write. dream sequences really fuck me off, but this one took the cake as one of the worst intances of writer's cowardice of all time. they treat gore like Michael Bay treats explosions, one every couple minutes just to keep a bird brained audience somewhat focused on the screen to dupe them into thinking something important is happening. But it's just noise. The Boys and Invincible want so bad to be different, the be an elevated version of what they're criticizing, but they are the lowest version of it. it's for the birds.

@@jsmith434wMaybe don’t call the audience birdbrained because that sounds incredibly unkind.

[@inigo137]

I'm just gonna say this once If you keep this level of quality on your videos, you are gonna get into the hundreds of thousands of subscribers eventually. Keep it up brother

[@Samson_Quardav]

Maybe not perfect but Oldboy corridor fight scene is amazing.

[@jonny4712]

@RSG 2 You should make a Kung fu panda trilogy video!

[@rsg200]

that is a great idea. Although i think im gonna make one video for each movie leading up to kung fu panda 4 which comes out in march. Which is crazy. Thanks brother

[@Kal-El-gm5pc]

Waaaaaiitttttt..... Noway you didn't talk about man of steel 😐😐😐😐. Best cbm fight scenes.

[@LightOfMyLife227]

Facts!

[@InReverie22]

Didnt you say kung fu is gymnastics? Then kung fu panda is considered the pinnacle of fight scenes:p Thanks for ruining the cap v iron man scene. Great points tho, gore really does make great action scenes.

[@CrocsFortress]

I think he made some good points too though it did seem kind of unkind how he made fun of Invincible fans.

[@SerAlthur]

Should check fog hill of the five elements. Those fight scenes are on a different level...

[@Macalo777]

Great video men

[@spectre1004]

FINALLY SOMEONE POINTED OUT THE FIGHT SCENES IN THE BOYS

[@d-land7775]

What do you think about the bus fight scene from.nobody

[@user-lx3qt8zg5f]

Ngl I actually liked the Bucky office fight scenes

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

5.10-5.13 kung fu was developed for real combat and self defense by chinese commoners, what are you on about?

[@monkeybara]

Congrat i can make a weapon for self defence that doesnt mean it will actually be good for self defence KUNG FU IS NOT GOOD FOR SELF DEFENCE

[@slkjvlkfsvnlsdfhgdght5447]

@@monkeybara it was developed over hundreds of years and refined with combat experience... also, use some punctuations, this stuff is almost impossible to read

[@NestyEco]

I also love boys :)

[@quantumvideoscz2052]

The best fight scenes I've seen are, I'd say, from: Kung Fu Panda Ip Man Kingsman

[@scottlynn143]

lets get a video about why you hate spot as a villain

[@Gra1nsOfRice]

This video would be even better if he sounded like Dunkey

[@jager477]

Ok I don’t like the way you just ripped into Spot like that, it felt uncalled for so I’m just gonna stop watching and come back when I feel better(ten hour night shifts are brutal).

[@notyourdad9548]

What do you think of the mission impossible movie where Henry cavil and Tom cruise get bodied the "random side character."

[@swiftumbra2748]

I never thought i'd find someone else who shared my burning hatred for those dumbass tiktok powerscaling videos.

[@monkeybara]

Same

[@sterbsen6086]

kung fu panda chad movie

[@gamerwol29]

Bruh you used a clip from “the raid” but you really need to make a video on the raid 😂😂

[@logananderson93]

Finally, somebody understands why I believe Kung Fu Panda is the greatest movie ever created

[@KoenfuPanda]

Ah yes, a man with a very good opinion. Nice

[@ntsakomathebula4840]

Shoutout Bloodsport and Rush Hour 2 better fight scenes than every batman film ever made. Today people watch Batman for the plot

[@user-cx1nj7km7t]

0:17 what is Miguel doing to Miles?

[@The_Real__Power_]

I just wanna see mma fighters choreograph fights.

[@monkeybara]

You realise most would probably be bad at it just because they know how to fight and have fought that doesnt mean they will be good at choreographing the fights

[@rumbazumba3189]

Finally someone dogs on the boys fight scenes, Season 3 was a big let down.

[@rokmutul8445]

Look man what did you expect from homelarder he can't even fight ,did you expect for him to imidiatly turn into a master at fighting and start flying around and kicking and lasering

[@RideMyLighting]

Here are some of the few good MCU fights: Cap vs Bucky Dr Strange vs Thanos HulkBuster vs Hulk SpiderMan (Holland) vs GreenGoblin IronMan vs Thanos Thor vs Hulk Ikaris vs Makari Shang-Chi bus scene Winter Soldier elevator scene
