Stupid fight scenes in todays movies!

If a computer game manages to get decent martial arts in it, it will be a bloody mircale.

Just look at their attempts to getlightsabre fighting right. And that's even a fantasy concept!

There's a new game out called ONI, and it has rather realistic moves from what I've seen of it.

I'm more a quake kinda player myself. Though, as DD indicated before Alice is a greta game.

I can think of a really stupid fight scene. Between an entire legion of the emporer's best troops and some teddy bears with rocks and sticks. 😘

You know, if the whole Ewok thing really WAS a Vietnam allegory, it was a pretty badly done one. The worst of any ofGL's allegories.

The Gungan battle in TPM was a far better example of a lower-tech (but not tech-incapable, by any means) people holding their own against superior forces... and they had the good decency to lose as well.

Hey, don't be so hard on the Ewoks 😂 .. Given that GL was working on Coppola's Apocalypse Now when he first came up with that concept, the whole Vietnam allegory really isn't suprising.

I am soooooo pleased that I don't understand a word you're talking about.

Yeah, but it was WOOKIES when he first came up with the concept, wasn't it?

I try not to lay too hard into the Ewoks- kid's film and everything etc.- but I really don't think they acheieved the point he wanted, while the Gungans did, Jar-Jar and all.

Yes, it was a little too naive. I disagree they achieved that with the Gungans though. For one, they lost. Were it not for Anakin disabling the entire army.
Second, the Ewoks WERE fighting a guerrilla war against soldiers out of their element. The Gungans were out there in an open field, army facing army. Much like Spartacus.

But let's face it, there were fun bits and after 18 years we sort of got to live with it.

FIne by me. So, not so stupid after all, just imperfect.

I always thought Commando was on of the worst offenders for fighting, in the sense that all the enemies rush headlong into Arnie's endless bullets while somehow firing 10,000 shots at him without hitting once.

Oh, I thought Rambo (II) was worse. The scene at the helicopter with sly half naked, being shot at by half the Vietnamese army firing an M-60 in one hand.

Or where the Vietnamese officer shoots at him several times near the waterfall and Sly nice and easily takes out his bow and arrow and blows him to bits. 😂

I like the ewoks and wookiees. Underdogs.

Not really the point... besides, I don't think there's been any anti-Wookie sentiment. Wookies as underdogs? Doubtful.
