    - I have the same question for Sammo. Especially regarding the MEDALLION. I don’t really understand the action there. It was an amazing start. Moreover, they took Adkins. Why do you ask???
    Maybe everything was cut off during installation?

    Scott said that his first skirmish with Jackie on the ship... was a kind of test for Scott, if he did not fail it, then he would be allowed to participate in the final battle. He did NOT fail it, but the final battle was heavily cut up (I just don’t understand... it was cut on the set or in the editing room), so it turned out the way it did. + Scott said that in his opinion, the result was negatively affected by the simultaneous filming of Jackie in the Medallion and in the Jacket, hence Jackie was not concentrated on either of these films.

    Where did Urquidez act as a fighter?

    I watched this “Bloody Frenzy Conspiracy.” Nightmare. Well, I definitely can’t watch Western action films before The Matrix. Yes, and from the East I can’t do all of them, but THIS... Urquidez, and the rest of the fighters seem to be athletic. And there’s absolutely nothing to look at. Not to mention the worst possible scenario.

    Very strange. Maybe because, again, the same Jackie himself set and dictated the conditions, and Jet is a forced person.

    I just already wrote about this. Jet is just a performer. No personal contribution. Either he doesn’t want to, or they don’t give it, or there’s nothing to invest.

    “About Sammo...damn, he’s an extremely unstable fight choreographer. Sometimes it comes out with something different, then it comes out with horror like Medallion and Ip Man 2.”

    "Scenes from these films can be quoted, parodies made of them, shown as samples. This also applies to costumes, soundtrack, locations, scenery. It’s like Bruce Lee’s suit from “Game of Death” or his classic three cuts on his chest, or a cat’s voice acting is a brand. Isn't it? Jet doesn't have that. It could be, but no."

    - But really. Today I ran through some of the battle scenes with Jet. Well done, of course, in essence. And he’s a good fighter and such a hard worker! But he doesn’t have any distinctive call signs, so to speak. Why? Very strange. Maybe because, again, the same Jackie himself set and dictated the conditions, and Jet is a forced person.

    Speaking of Wincott.

    Cool guy. There is some kind of charisma and acting talent,

    His brother is a charismatic character, a classic main villain)

    Regarding objectivity, here’s what I want to say. Jackie's films and films with Jackie have a clear, recognizable style and manner. It's not just the Hong Kong style of the time, it's also the action sequences that had a big influence on action cinema. Purely historical. This is objective in my opinion. Scenes from these films can be quoted, parodies made of them, and shown as examples. This also applies to costumes, soundtrack, locations, and scenery. It's like Bruce Lee's costume from "Game of Death" or his classic three cuts on his chest, or the cat voice acting of the blows - this is a brand. It is so? Jet doesn't have that. It could be, but no.

    And this is an objective opinion. Personally, I always look from all angles - how it was played, filmed, staged.

    And my opinion is as objective as yours, because... I also look from all sides. =D

    About Sammo...damn, he's an extremely unstable fight choreographer. Either it gives out something with something, then it gives out horror like Medallion and Ip Man 2

    By the way... about Rush Hour... I don’t understand the attacks, if we take the Hollywood period and the 90s/00s, then it’s really... a very strong work compared to others (of this period).

    And about the fact that everything is learned by comparison.... when both pictures are worthy, but at the same time different, I don’t compare them, but just enjoy watching =)

    Kiss of the Dragon and Denny the Chain Dog are his BEST pictures and some of the best fighting games in general =), which are completely outdone by everyone else. (the first has better fights, the second has better plot and character) + a good role in a good movie... I'm talking about Lethal Weapon 4.

    Here, as they say... it depends on the taste and color (this is about the fighting style). In my opinion...Jet is better as an actor, Jackie is better as a filmmaker.

    I agree about "Chain Dog". And fights, and drama with acting, and filming. Everything is on the level. But to say that “Kiss of the Dragon” is almost Jet’s best fighting game, excuse me... It’s the same as saying that Rush Hour is Jackie Chan’s best creation.
    And this is an objective opinion. Personally, I always look from all angles - how it was played, filmed, staged. Something is left to think about. Let's say in BLACK MASK there is something to think about. And in HITMAN there is. And even in the finale BODYGUARD FROM BEIJING and in places in MY FATHER IS A HERO. Well, of course, beyond competition - ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA.
    As for Jackie, remember the pictures that Sammo directed. Diner, Dragons Forever, My Lucky Stars 1, Dragon Heart.
    Jackie had some pretty decent fighting technique there. For in Sammo's films he mostly fought rather than jumping and falling, as in his films.
    And if, in fact, we take the sore subject again - Jackie and Jet, then DRUNKEN MASTER 2 completely covers ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA. And later, the final fight between Jackie and Brad Allan in GREAT turns out to be much more enchanting than the whole KISS OF THE DRAGON.
    Like this. If it's technical.
    For everything is known by comparison. Judge for yourself.

    Another very interesting comrade, Jeff Pruitt, appeared in “Curfew.” He disappeared somewhere in the late 90s, and it seems he only resurfaced this year with Lundgren in “Battle of the Damned.” I remember him as an actor and stunt coordinator in "Mission of Justice" with Jeff Wincott. Wincott was of little interest to me then, but his friend Sal, played by Pruitt, a seemingly minor character, caught my attention.

    I wonder what Hollywood did best with him? Trimming KISS OF THE DRAGON and ROMEO MUST DIE? Funny. Of all the European and Hollywood “garbage” with Jet, there was only one worthy film - Denny the Chain Dog. The rest is scraps from the Asian table.

    Where did Urquidez act as a fighter? I only know two of Jackie's films, Power of Five and Enter the Eagle.

    I also remember this one - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101482/
    And this happens more often in small episodes, like in the first Curfew.

    Urquidez is cool... ONLY in Jackie's movies

    Where did Urquidez act as a fighter? I only know two of Jackie's films, Power of Five and Enter the Eagle. In "Eagle" he looks decent, although his opponent there is never Jackie, a lower class. Well, “Five” - they said everything about them, back then the Americans were just learning how to film fights. Although in a couple of places I noted how technically he swings his legs.

    I agree with Jaidev. Hollywood made him more famous. Probably better paid. But whether he starred in his best films there is, of course, subjective. Perhaps in terms of fees and audience reach - yes. But not in terms of movie quality. And it’s a shame for the authority of the Chinese martial arts, which he represents for the Americans. You watch his films, and they are somehow unreal.

    By the way, what films in the genre under discussion did you not rewind from fight to fight, but watched with interest? At least from relatively recently released ones.

    If recently released, then perhaps ONG BAK 3. Although the film is weak in essence. Surprisingly, TEKKEN did not shake. And UniSol 4 too.
    I watched Boyka in the rewind. Reid started watching, couldn’t stand the slums and the stupid filming and began to waste it. I watched Tsui Hark's last two films in rewind. One of them, by the way, is with Jet. With all my love for Tsuyu, I just couldn’t get over it completely.
    And what else happened recently? I don’t even remember offhand. Like this. straightaway.
    Oh, I watched THE LAST MAGNATE with great pleasure. But there are no fights there either. Mostly shooting. But the movie is great. And it seems like Wong Jing, but still!

    - And Hollywood, in my opinion, doesn’t care about people at all. They no longer see anything except money! How many were not allowed to develop, and poor Buster Keaton was generally driven to a hospital bed and drunkenness.
    That's what we're talking about here. That Jackie Chan is watched by young and old. Like Gaidai's films. But with Jet, alas, this does not happen. Even though he is a good fighter! Adkins is a good fighter and Tony Jaais a good fighter! And what? Did super duper technology make their films better? Of course not. You watch from fight to fight, and even then only with a narrow circle of martial arts fans. After all, cinema is not only about fights and stunts with shooting and chases. A movie is a good story, acting and everything that comes out of it.

    He was very young in the Power of Five. Back then there was a completely different school of film fighting. Then the Americans were just starting to do this. And other than working with Chan, Urquidez didn’t really act as a full-fledged on-screen fighter. But isn't it cool? So it still can. Jet Li has an extensive track record. Huge. In different genres. However, what did I talk about above? Jackie Chan is a complex talent. Jet is a loudspeaker, he also 100% needs the strong hand of a director and stage director. I don't see personality and I don't see development. In my opinion, he started brightly, but then blended in with the crowd. For example, Romeo Must Die, From Cradle to Grave is a mediocre movie. Hollywood didn't understand Jet. Made it one of all.

    Author's gravatar

    Urquidez is cool....ONLY in Jackie's films, as soon as the strong hand of the director-choreographer is lost, then all his coolness as a MOVIE fighter is immediately lost. Example - The Power of Five, which I have been looking for for a very long time... and was completely disappointed. Although this happens to many people.

    Author's gravatar

    No, I didn't compare Wilson and Lee, I just gave an example. But Urquidez doesn’t need to be used as an example) Although he created problems for Jackie on the set with his contact blows, he looked simply unrealistically cool in the movies. It often depends on the person. Alexio would look good in a movie, but Gruner looks decent (another thing is that the films themselves are not so great), but Wilson is not. And all of them are kickboxers. But this is actually all lyrics, everyone has different tastes, I was just leading to the fact that Jet disappointed me as a movie buff.

    Author's gravatar

    But essentially: Jackie also tries herself in other directions. Is not it so? And what does it mean to be technically successful? Please open it.

    About the directions: yes, I tried... and it looked worse than Jet (with the exception of A PIECE from Thunderbolt and The Karate Kid, the only films where he did not OVERplay the dramatic moments).

    About technique: I mean basic kicks and punches; Jet’s ones are more beautiful, faster, and more powerful. Jackie is generally nonsense...the blows are average, the acrobatics are average, and at the same time he is a LEGEND among movie fighters (he compensated for his shortcomings with imagination, efficiency and recklessness)

    About the championship of Wilson and Lee: the comparison is inappropriate, because they came from TOO different martial arts. There are sports styles from which it is easier to transition to cinema, because... elements important for a KINOboy are also NECESSARY at performances in these styles (Tekwando - a whole galaxy, HMA - even more, wushu-taolu - Jet, Donny, Wu Jing... I think that’s his name, some styles of karate - JKVD, capoeira - Latif Crowder etc., etc.), and more contact styles, where showiness is not very necessary... are less suitable for transition to cinema (MMA... Randy Couture, Oleg Taktarov, kickboxing - Wilson, Urquidez boxing, etc. .etc. etc.)

    Again...even among contact fighters there are athletes who, with proper retraining, would look good in film fights, but in most cases...they either have some kind of more CINEMA based background, or are simply fans of kicks and acrobatics.

    This is just a very good example, the guy is talented in his field, right?
    What's missing? It’s clear that ingenuity, good screenwriters, but most importantly, natural charm... well, he doesn’t win over...

    This is just about the question of technology. Wilson, in addition to the lack of charm and other things, also looks extremely bad on screen as a fighter. But he’s a champion fighter. Jet, as we found out, has both technology and a lot of other things, and his mature and late works were supposed to demonstrate this technique and skill, show progress. So, it seems to me that this did not happen. When he was young, he was such a positive, constantly smiling character, very active. And then it evaporated. And Jackie Chan, no matter how much he talked about the lack of understudies, progressed very coolly. Do you remember where he started? What films did he end up making at his peak? This is simply an unrealistic achievement. Jet doesn't have that, IMHO.

    Slav, based on your post, all that Jackie Chan has is charisma?)) This is not true

    Of course not - Mr. Chan's talents are varied, but if not for his natural charisma, he would hardly have become a legend. There are a lot of talented people, but not all of them are fun to watch... Again, Yen Biao and Chinkar Lok - these guys can be erected a monument for the tricks they performed... For some reason they did not become stars of Jackie's level.

    The same example I often use is Don "The Dragon" Wilson. An eminent champion, but as a movie fighter IMHO he is disgraceful, stupid, and boring.

    This is just a very good example, the guy is talented in his field, right?
    What's missing? It is clear that ingenuity, good screenwriters, but most importantly - natural charm... well, he does not endear himself...

    And let's be fair: don't stunt doubles do stunt doubles for Jet?

    They do, but neither Jet nor his promotion shouted at every corner that we do not use doubles (yes, this is a pebble in Jackie’s garden). And for some reason it seems to me (I could be wrong) that the backups replaced Jet in some steep falls, spins, but not in kicks.

    I myself really don’t like it when films use cables, flights and other dregs, and films with Jet are much more “sinful” in this regard than Chanov’s films. However, when I look at Jet, I see a good fighter, so classic, powerful, and knows his stuff.

    Hehe =) Slav, based on your post, all that Jackie Chan has is charisma?)) This is not true. Perhaps if they did the same taolu, Jet would look better, but it may not have anything to do with the cinematography when both of them are in the frame. The same example I often use is Don "The Dragon" Wilson. An eminent champion, but as a movie fighter IMHO he is disgraceful, stupid, and boring.

    It’s not for nothing that complex blows and steps were always performed for him by either Yen Biao or Chin Kar Lok... there were other backups

    Well, not all difficult shots. And let's be fair: don't stunt doubles do stunt doubles for Jet? Or is it not suspended by strings? When I watch movies with Jet, I don't see a champion in front of me. And I don't say, "Wow!" when I watch movies with him. Although, to be honest, I liked him better when he was young. The first film I saw with him was
    "Shaolin Temple 3: Shaolin Martial Arts" on VHS. Then he made an impression on me.

    It is clear that Jackie and Jet cannot be compared in the totality of their talents, each of them is a diamond with unique facets. But why not, for example, compare them in one thing (for example, the execution of technology) - I think we can afford it, because otherwise we will get bored... :)
    Of course, Jet performs Wushu techniques better and more powerfully than Jackie, because he is a championship winner. If you put this couple next to each other, performing one “taolu”, I’m sure that the eye will be drawn to Jet... unless, of course, Jackie turns on the fool-confuser from Ust-Kwantung :) Jackie also has problems with flexibility and stretching, in In this regard, many will do him... It’s not for nothing that complex blows and steps were always performed for him by either Yen Biao or Chin Kar Lok... there were other backups. But what Jackie lacks is charisma - endless and merciless. No Hong Kong actor can match him in this regard. I think that’s why we love the hero Chan so much - a kind of “simple” guy with a keen sense of justice, for his liveliness and spontaneity, for his humor and ingenuity.

    As for me, the golden age of both came in the middle of their careers. While both were at the peak of their form, they had already gained experience. “Dragons” - “Armor” - “Tavern”, “Mask” - “Hitman” - “Kiss”. Something like this. I took the films at random, but from that period. Let's say Jackie's "Gorgeous" is great. Jet has a "Chain Dog". But these are their latest records, if we take fights. And whatever you say, there are very few equal to them in total. Let’s say Tony Jaais somehow cooler than them, but Tony has three “Ong Bak” and two (almost) “Tom Yan Goong” in his soul. And it doesn’t come close to the filmographies of the two D. Donny, in terms of totality, also doesn’t hold up, although now he’s succeeding in both. The fights of “Flash”, “Stars”, “Ip Man” are at the level of the best fights of Jackie and Jet.
    All IMHO. And yes, I also hate it when the cables are clearly visible. If they can't be seen, so be it.

    And what does it mean to be technically successful?

    It’s easier for me to make comparisons using musical examples)) But essentially: Jackie also tries herself in other directions. Is not it so? And what does it mean to be technically successful? Please open it. In his entire career, Jet has not done (and would not have done) anything close to what Chan did, for example, in “Diner on Wheels” or “Armor of God” (meaning the first 2 parts). Firstly, in my opinion, Jet is still more of a performer. Loudspeaker. Secondly, his film scenes are almost always some kind of combination of scenes and cuts. It’s probably not his fault, but I haven’t seen many complete fights with him, with zest, with dynamics, with some kind of concept. Everything is very fractional, heavily assembled, and, alas, cable-based. The same "Fist of Legend". This movie doesn't bother me at all. Both as a film and as an action film. But again, this is a matter of taste.

    If we draw this analogy with music, then Jackie is a metalhead. Distortion in his case is a comedy that hides the shortcomings of the technique. Jet is a pop singer who sings to plywood. In his case, the plus is the cables. And Donny is an alternative guy. In some places it looks like plywood, in others it’s live, but often monotonous.

    Yeah...only the metal-headed Jackie has been phoning as loudly as Jet lately, and when he sings live...he's out of tune. And the pop singer and backgrounder Jet, in terms of his vocals (technique), completely beats Chan, which allows him to perform more successfully in other directions =)

    But while everyone is using the same notes, they are actually playing completely different music, with different approaches and concepts. If Jackie is a metalhead, then he is a metalhead who brought his own approach. As a result, based on the synthesis of various existing elements and his own personality, he created an original style (although of course not immediately). Jet plays with a very restrained retro, sometimes talented, but often sprinkled with sand. Attempts to update this retro, to feel the current situation are crutches in the form of plywood. Donny did not become an alternative musician right away, but went through a series of covers and re-covers of others. And it still flashes through him to this day. But, in general, both Jackie and Jet and Donnie repeat themselves from time to time. It's hard to be constantly innovative.

    It seems to me that it is not always correct to compare Jackie and Jet according to the same criterion - technique. It's not objective. They have completely different styles, different manners. Jackie is a democrat and an innovator. And Jet is more of a classic. You can compare guitarists - one plays classics at a speed of 499 notes per minute, and the other does the same, but 500. But if one plays blues, and the other heavy, and at the same time both play music?

    I’ll come to Jet’s defense - he, unlike Jackie, is an introvert. Maybe that’s why he looks “uptight,” mysterious, etc. And he really has a lot of “academic” wushu. And that's great! Do you remember what a stir the “Shaolin Temple” series made in its time?...what long-sequences there were without splices, what technique... Still, Jet has a lot of hits, even despite the cables he shows excellent technique, Chan has this and never dreamed of it. But I categorically do not accept cables in modern films - that’s why it’s a minus..
    The best hits for me are Fearless, Fist of Legend, Hitman, Once Upon a Time in China, Tai Chi (Twin Warriors) and the Shaolin Temple series

    In theory, there is one touch - one teleportation, but they have problems with this (I’m talking about a series of blows).

    No problem. Where there are series of blows, they grappled and did not let go of each other, i.e. the touch seemed to never stop. What a gorgeous miniature! Simply magnificent!

    .The best film with Jet is “Fearless” (and the director’s cut) - there he is revealed both as an actor and as a fighter, showing excellent skills (after all, he moves very quickly), even taking into account the ropes that are there in places were.

    Ha..I also loved this film and even turned a blind eye to the negatives, but when the cheaper Ip Man came out on a similar theme... Fearless went nervously to smoke on the sidelines. By the way...cables were used in places in Ip Man, but in Fearless there were just a LOT of them.

    And I agree in many respects. Donny has risen only in recent years and then... in China. In the world it is known only among fans of fighting games. Jet and especially Jackie are far ahead

    I don’t know about anyone, but for me both Jet and Jackie will always be on the same level. They are both great guys and with all due respect to Donnie, for me he is far from them. The best film with Jet is “Fearless” (and the director’s cut) - there he was revealed both as an actor and as a fighter, he showed excellent skills (after all, he moves very quickly), even taking into account the cables that were there in places. Next I would put “Black Mask” - the fights there are really impressive until now and “Generals.” So Jet has already shown strong acting a long time ago.

    That's for sure. And you don't believe his story. In addition, it “works” for those who mainly love martial arts, and this repels the average viewer. No matter the fight, there are a lot of stands. For Jackie, everything is different in modern films. That's why you become immersed in its history.

    Well...it's too subjective. There are a large number of people who need a fight with all its seriousness, and not “antics” in the style of Jackie. And among the average viewer there are also plenty of them. It’s better not to remember Jackie’s MODERN films at all, because... most of them are complete horror.

    About Jet:

    1) As a filmmaker, he is of course inferior to Jackie, BUT as an actor he surpasses him many times over. Of all the famous Asian movie fighters, Jet... is probably the best actor.
    2) There are no films that make you want to say WOW - that’s also subjective. Kiss of the Dragon and Danny Chain Dog are, in my opinion, masterpieces among fighting games.
    3) The funniest joke....is that Jet in Hollywood showed much cooler work than in China (where he flew too much), and just like in the case of Donnie...they became more interesting with age as movie fighters and as actors (although both immediately lost interest... Jet cooled down to fighting games and began acting less often, and Donnie returned to ropes and pseudo-historical films)

    Danny the Dog is a decent movie. And Jet, by the way, just walks there the entire film, enslaved and with a frozen face. Sometimes I rewatch Sat sau ji wong aka Hitman. There are some interesting moments, and I love Eric Tsang.

    By the way, I was rewatching HITMAN the other day. Scene in the elevator shaft - TAKE YOUR EYE OUT! And cameraman Arthur Wong is one of my examples in cinema! The angles there are sometimes very interesting.

    It was, but it is not. And PI2013 will not save him.

    And PI2013 seems to me to be a generally passable picture, made hastily. Or maybe a laugh...

    Again, the same Jackie always has something to say: WOW!!!

    In “Kiss of the Dragon” there was a hell of a montage)) There wasn’t a single long shot or long take. One blow or movement was constantly interrupted by editing or camera angles several times.

    ...in addition, the angles were pretty terrible. It's sickening to watch.
    From the ancient - Once upon a time in China. the very first. Born to defend nothing like that... really weak in direction. Jet didn't pull.
    THE FIST OF LEGEND looked expressive, but there were plenty of understudies. And in essence it’s a remake of Bruce’s film. For all its comic-ness, BLACK MASK looks. Apparently because of Tsui Hark's meddling handwriting.
    Well, at least I like Tsui Hark stylistically.
    Personally, of all Jet’s “last” films, I liked DANNY THE CHAINED DOG. OCEAN PARADISE, although without heavy action, is also good. And yet Jet still lacks something. It falls short. That's kind of strange. And now the HERO is beautiful and magnificent, but is perceived as a fairy tale.
    Again, the same Jackie always has something to say: WOW!!! And Donny too... well, and the newly-minted Tony Jaa.
    The problem is that the directors do not reveal Jet's potential. And he probably could!

    I don't think there were any cables in Kiss of the Dragon. They hung Cyril Raffaelli in the scene where Jet breaks his neck. In "Battle of the Dragon" and "The Master" they also waved "live".

    To be honest, I expected more.
    Well, at least Wen Zhang is there. He will definitely attract the audience with his charisma and acting. :) And Jet, too, after all, is just as talented. But the cables... I'm sad. :(

    Not always of course. There are several films that I like. But in the overwhelming majority, I don’t believe it. I personally see the reasons for this, do you know what? He is very attached to the cinema. That is why his personality is not visible. That’s why he does everything closed, constrained, and not on his own. In those moments when his acting is more or less convincing, he spends all his energy on it, in my opinion. And it’s as if there’s simply no strength left for anything else. I don’t know what kind of person he is outside the frame. But in the frame he is like that. Moreover, with age he becomes more and more ossified. Even though it probably has a lot of potential, they are absolutely poorly implemented, and its popularity and merits are exaggerated for me personally. In the action - he either flies on wires, or does the classic elements of the standard program at wushu competitions, in the acting - his face is either detached and indifferent, or stupidly surprised, or some kind of panic. And personality, personality is lost. It's not clear what he is. All the time he is enslaved, tense, out of place. And of course, when he plays the folk hero Wong Fei Hong, who is supposed to be charismatic, they try to compensate for all this with cables.

    Jackie is a pleasure to watch as a comedian, and Jet Li (if you noticed) after the fight is as calm as before, without shortness of breath or facial expressions

    and regarding the cables....protects shoes (from Yudashkin)

    Yeah guys! It happened. I remember.
    Nothing... everything will be OK. Necessarily. It’s just that now people are so incomprehensible. One pumpkin should be given to the filmmakers with some kind of cool, real film. Then they will think about it and the action genre will return to good, real fights. How to give a drink!

    And Jet Li... what can we take from him? Indeed, he has been flying on ropes all his life. And it flies clumsily.

    Jackie also used a half-length cable. But how masterful!

    I remember Jaidev once dreamed that they would film a simple story about how a guy went to buy bread and, as Averchenko wrote, everything would be wrapped up…. This will not work, because soon people will walk on strings even to buy bread at the cinema. And where Jet Li went there will almost always be cables.

    Baton-2: Return of Boyka

    Yes)) That’s exactly what we will have in the modern version: “Flying Loaf, Soaring Shanga” Or Shnyaga....)) In short, all bakery products will fly. Do you and I want to have realistic buns? And there is a dominance of genetically modified flavored synthetics around.))

    This would seem to be an interesting idea from newcomer Mark Mousasi, but...

    It is NOT RECOMMENDED for epileptics to watch! (I'm not kidding)

    Great idea!!! I'll probably sneak it into my chest!!! And it was filmed well. The angles are lined up. Without any incomprehensible shaking of the camera. Well done! What more can be said.
    We talked...and fought without too much sentimentality!!!

    Action movie makers have gone crazy!!! In a little while, there won’t be a single person left in the film industry who creates real drive in cinema! It doesn’t matter who it is - Actor, director, choreographer or cameraman with an editor.

    But in my opinion it will still be more beautiful on the wall.

    With such running around, all realism disappeared.

    YAAAASSSSSSSS!!!

    Amen. :)

    And why, one might ask, was it necessary to run on ropes along the walls?! It would be better if he jumped over the railing beautifully...
