Awesome fight scenes
Some scenes kill you with their realism, others with their balletic grace and energy. This is the place for examples of awesome screen fights.
And the fight sequence that prompted this thread? The hallway fight from season one of Daredevil. Filmed as one continuous take, and paying homage to a scene from the movie Oldboy, this is a truly beautiful sequence. I love everything about this scene. The choroegraphy, the way the fighters are tired by it, the way the scene is lit and shot, it's just gorgeous. I also like the way they set the scene up. I highly recommend watching full screen

I've seen the Asian one, but not the American. The Asian one was okay--I found the plot to be more than a little contrived, and there were at least two acts of violence that I had to look away from and still shudder thinking about. Plus the actor eats a live octopus for no real reason or character development, but I thought it was hilarious for some reason so it's not a bad memory.
Anyway, long story short I wouldn't watch it again, but the Korean revenge genre was never my thing in the first place, so YMMV. |

I've done blindfolded fencing lessons. You actually get information and reaction through the blade faster than through visual processing.

But, but, but, his blade wasn't touching anything most of the time, he'd have to have some radar/sonar going on there. It requires a lot of dismissing of science and logic. Akazuka just came to the realization he was being bitchy because he was getting his period, shown by a trail in the snow.
Aside, I'd read that Hollywood and the fiction creators have convinced everyone that ninja's wear black and move like shadows in the night. Complete bullshit, in a culture where status was most important, and everyone above the bottom rung wore clothing/uniforms that reflected that. Ninjas were successful because they dressed as common peasants, which allowed them to get close without suspicion, strike, and fade immediately into the rabble.
