No, but it was a solid movie. I haven't watched too much in the genre.

I marvel at the size of Nathan Jones.

He'd make a decent Gregor Clegane.

The dude had to have three Chinese beds aligned for him to sleep while filming Fearless. He's huge.

Tell me this isn't infinitely better than fearless, Janus?

Btw, this is hands down the greatest "most realistic" fight scene ever.

This is like, actively bad. Bad, unconvincing cuts, silly choreography, the least vigor of all men. And of the movies making use of this particular aesthetic, literally anything from the Bourne trilogy is much better, as are all of the fights in Craig's Bond films.

I remember the sauna scene from Eastern Promises as being very good, but in the meanwhile can we pretend this is realistic?

Rest your soul. The best pseudo-realistic fight scene is here:

Maybe.

Yes, the homoerotic fight scene from Eastern Promises was indeed more realistic, perhaps the most realistic ever. But it wasn't a good one.

I'll check this on my pc tonight assuming I don't get distracted. Old age you know.

Lord Lucien Lets all love Lain

I don't give a shit how "realistic" it is, the Hector v. Achilles fight is my favourite:

That fight really sucked.

Not trolling or joking. It was pretty terrible.

Nephthys The Gr8est!!!!!!!!

I'll throw my hat in here:

Only a man who openly marvels at the size of Nathan Jones could find that homoerotic. Bet you think Top Gun's volleyball scene was pretty queer, too.

Come at me.

Maybe the best Liam Neeson action scene that doesn't involve lightsabers, Titans, wolves, or the Batman. It's not a fistfight, but hey. And I'm with Lucien on Troy, Hector is best.

Hector is awesome. I can't picture Liam Neeson NOT kicking someone's ass kung fu style.

Happy Christmas everybody!

The distractions come in. No sooner did I start the IP Man fight that a game request comes in. Btw, nothing as of 4 minutes in looks beyond Fearless. I still hold my assertion.

And if you're counting actual weapons combat, well, 13 Assassins wins hands down. 40 minute battle scene, ftw.

I haven't watched 13 assassins and you need to watch the entirety of Ip Man.
