[@blacknemesis1259]

In american and european martial art movies, when there is a fight scene you can notice that the camero moves a lot, it moves so much that you basicaly can't see shit. In this movie, the fight scenes are clear, you can fully appreciate the choregraphy. I think that this is a result in the difference of practice in martial arts. Ps : Not all american and european movies are like that, but most of them.

[@dragusfrancisco7330]

I like these movies and chinese because of that. We can see the martial art

[@exiszentriker2952]

I think the reason that the camera moves a lot in such action scenes is because they want to cover up the fact that the choreography is basically really bad. In movies featuring Jackie Chan for example the fight scenes are clear and visible because they don't have to hide anything.

[@dragusfrancisco7330]

@@exiszentriker2952 i agree with u

[@little_dandelion]

It's because the action is played by stuntmen and they take several shots to have the scene they want. Close up shots with the actors' faces. Their culture is more firearms and explosions. In comparison to Asian martial arts movies, theirs are more simplistic so to a public used to that genre, they look slow and boring. Thus the production team hides their shortcomings as well as hide that the lead actors aren't playing the fight scenes themselves with effects they've always used in Western shows to simulate action even when there's nothing interesting on screen. Best behind the scenes I've watched of that trick was for the CSI shows. The production team explained the forensic scenes are very boring if they've shown them as they truly were. For instance: take a sample, put it under the microscope, push the button of the computer and wait for the analysis and results. Boooooorrrrriiiing. So what do they do? Choose an upbeat music, play with flashy lights as if it was a clubhouse, make non-stop cuts of a few seconds, turn the camera at weird angles... Then mashup that jumble together and the public feels as if they've watched something exciting when in reality, it's just a lab staff turning on his machine to wait for the analysis to come. So unimpressive martial arts scenes in Western productions are given the same treatment. Plus they add explosions and other distractions into that jumble.

[@eurobeat5332]

Because Joe Taslim has Judo basic, they used it in scenes instead force him to do silat moves. That's the difference between good & bad movie production. This one's certainly good
