I'll take a look.
Upd. Oh wait, I saw it. A good action movie, but not great. But good. But not super.
Yes, yes. Sort of a biopic. But even though my favorite Jung Doo Hong plays there, and the film is specifically about BI, it somehow didn’t grab me.
I about it.
There is "Wind Warrior".
But what about that - run away and not delay. This is exactly what the hero tried to do, get away and fight back. How and with what is possible. And it is not surprising that the crowd “played”. It is extremely difficult to control and coordinate such a huge crowd. The whole crowd. It is clear that people from the first line will be actively involved there.
In OB2 Finale or Tom Yun Gong? If in TYUG, then there his opponents were handed to him neatly, like on a conveyor belt, on one side, then on the other.
There are actually very few of them in terms of genre. Koreans tend to mostly have crime dramas, detective stories, or war films. For example, "Joint Security Zone" or "Front Line", the same brilliant "Memories of Murder" (one of my favorite films in general). But their cinema does not have a clear genre, drama or action, everything is very subtly and unpredictably mixed.
In “Tyug” with the gang and in the famous scene without cuts, he maneuvered well so that all of his opponents were some further away, some closer. I already said about OB2. But in the same “Tyug” when he broke everyone’s legs - I don’t believe it anymore, they already ran up to him one by one, but he stood still.
First of all, don’t delay and hit with anything. And tick, tick, tick!
Honestly, well, it was clearly visible that the crowd was just playing. They would have trampled the heroes' lungs into the asphalt. There was a beautiful and stylish visual, but there was very little realism.
It's okay though, it's me. Can you recommend some good Korean action movies? I’ve recently become fascinated with Korean cinema as such, amazingly strong films, but among the excellent action films I can only name “Nowhere Man” and “City of Violence”. The Vietnamese are also welcome, if not Nguyen, I know Nguyen myself.
I'm interested in a realistic fight of one against several. When several attack at once without any queue with the firm intention of trampling, only a very tough fighter can fight back. And all the shortcomings (staging, cables, lack of coordination, etc.) are more clearly visible. The same Statham, when he beats someone one on one (“Mechanic”), you can still believe that he is a tough master. But in “The Transporter” the truth came out in all its glory.
True, but in the finale of OB2 he had to do a good turn. There, almost simultaneously, several people were pressing on him.
I'm still wondering if Donnie Yen can be included in this list? It seems that in “Ip Man” and “Chen Zhen” he swung quite impressively against the crowd. Although there was a queue.
What is meant?
If I'm not mistaken, Jaa's character then tried to prevent the crowd from attacking him.
I didn’t look that closely, but I paid attention to things like this: the fight between Reeves and Chow—you can immediately see the qualitative difference between the way they move. It looks like Reeves is a black belt, but he waves with one hand, but forgot the other and it’s dangling from him. Not as much as for complete beginners, but clearly. And opposite him is Chow, all as if on springs, every movement of every part of the body is adjusted almost to the millimeter.
Are we talking about quality fights against the crowd or any precedents at all?
If about any, then you can even include “Carrier” here. Each part has a fight against the crowd. True, there they also mostly attack in turns, and everything is very broken up by editing. Well, of course, this is not exactly our genre.
With Jaa, too, as a rule, everything takes turns.
The “middle peasants” have every opportunity to move forward. But for some reason, not everyone does this. You can build on what has already been removed, but try to climb a step higher. And they actually repeat in a simplified version everything that came before them. Of course, they learn and process. But... we do not live in the Stone Age, there is always an opportunity for experimentation or development.
That's right, the coolness of the scene is precisely how it is coordinated, some kind of general composition, the pulsation and dynamics of the scenes, takes, angles and plans. Plus the combination of colors in the frame: cold urban colors and colorful gang costumes. That is, I agree that there is not exactly a concentrated fighting game, but the combative, completely realistic and exciting interaction of heroes and the crowd is one hundred percent. I’m generally a fan of the Koreans) Well, and the Vietnamese.
Yes, and also grab and use everything that comes to hand. Any available means. And don't delay. Either kill or run away, Wave said everything right. Also from personal experience))
In the battle in the second “Matrix,” the whole meaning of a group attack is revealed: “we pile on in a crowd and kick.” But this is Neo. If you watch it in HD and pay attention to the cloak, you can easily see where the real Reeves was and where his computer was. copy. And the result is sad.
The Matrix does not impress with its fights, the staging is normal, but Reeves is absolutely no match for our beloved masters, and you can feel it. A city of violence no matter what, but just the scene with the gangs is unusually shot, but does not at all look like a cool fight against the crowd.
Dacascos - accepted. Jet needs to be reconsidered, I was disappointed in many action films that I was a fan of 10+ years ago.
Oh, yes, also “Raid” and certain moments with Jah, such as the finale of “OB2”.
In any case, the names of only the best of the best are heard. And that’s not all the names. Then what are the complaints about the middle peasants?
By the way, from personal experience: when you are fighting against at least two people, you can survive only in three ways - by mad pressure (without regard for self-preservation), by maneuvers when at any moment there is only one person against you, or by simply making your legs.
For a start:
Partially in "Drive" with Dacascos, in a hotel room, armed with shoes and plates.
"City of Violence" with Jung Doo Hong, street scene with youth gangs.
If I remember anything else, I'll write.
Jet Li against the White Lotus sect in Once Upon a Time in China 2.
What about the Matrix? ;)
Has anyone else, other than Oldboy and Dzhekichan, done normal work against the crowd? Well, except for “Nowhere Man” and Nguyen.
Yes, it’s very interesting how he will cope with it. Usually Temur has such a choreography that all competitors have a rest)))
Let's see how Temur copes with the choreography.
I completely agree with this. Let's take for example the famous scene with the hammer from the original "Oldboy", where the enemies did not approach one by one, but attacked in a whole crowd, so everything is realistic there.
- Exactly. It happened!
That in turn that's for sure. Always the same problem. Why doesn’t anyone make a fight where the whole people attacks, and the hero dodges as best he can, simultaneously managing to land some blows.
And then... it’s not a fact that all this will also be well filmed and then glued together.
Boring... The girl thrashes men and others who come up to her one by one. And the voice acting of the blows is annoying. But this is only preparation for filming, so I can only evaluate the choreography in the abstract. Boring, nothing special... well, he just beats people, breaks arms and legs.
Jaidev: and regarding kumite, we discussed the same film on the same topic here: https://fight-films.info/lady-bloodsport-novyj-film-ot-beya-logana/
Only back then the caste was different.
Kumite again. Idiots! (God forgive me...brainless!!!)
Why can't you film something else? For example, a girl who moved from another city fell in love with a guy and is dating him. But she doesn’t say anything about her combat data. Because he values femininity and beauty in girls, considering “brute force” a manifestation of lower intelligence. He himself works for a powerful computer corporation. Finding herself in many funny situations, the girl still uses her skills, but the guy does not notice this. The girl decides to find out why the guy has a dislike for BI. And this is the key theme of the film. In the finale, finding himself in a situation in which it is simply impossible not to show his physical qualities, it turns out that the guy ends up working in a corporation, as a personal extreme survival trainer. One is shocked by the other and vice versa! Cause? Guess for yourself. But in the end it's a fun ending.
And why not?
Here's a quick story that just came to mind.
The big plus of this girl is her speed! But not more.
Some of the blows are like in American films of the 90s.
And of course there is no comparison with the same Chloe Bruce! But she loses to her in appearance. NOT by much of course, but still.
Personally, I don't believe her. For example, the same Cynthia with lesser abilities and Yukari Oshima - I believe. But she doesn't. Maybe...not yet...
I have never seen the stunning appearance of the girls in KinoBI, combined with equally stunning physical characteristics.
