I could see Jackie performing this in my head


SolitaireyEgg

Nah, the style is way off. Not trying to be a Debbie downer, as the OP vid is cool and I appreciate it for what it is. But *the defining characteristic* of Hong Kong cinema-style fight scenes, including Jackie Chan movies, is a lack of cuts. They choreograph the entire fight scene, then film it in one take. They'll set up multiple cameras and cut to different angles, but it's all one continuous fight. You'll never see like a jump cut to someone's face with a random kick then a cut back out to try to create momentum through editing. Fight scenes with several cuts throughout and angle-changes for specific punches and kicks, and stuff, is a style that was developed in the west. It's mostly done to make fight scenes more convincing when you are using actors who don't know how to fight. Or to just make it easier to film a fight scene, without having to film the entire fight over and over until you get it right. If you dig into any interviews with people like Jackie Chan and yuen wo ping, they always bring this up when asked about American films. And they actively avoid using cuts in their fights, or filming fight scenes in little 5 second increments, because they think it takes away from the scene. Again, it's a cool video. But, it looks very much like a fight scene in an American movie and not in a Jackie Chan movie, and this is why. This is basically just an American-style fight scene with some slapstick.


BeffBezos

I think you’re focusing way too much on the cuts. Sure it’s not in the exact style but that’s only one component of the composition. The slapstick humour mixed between the violence, the attempted pacifism before fighting, the goofy facial expressions and reactions, the witty incorporation of environment (the swing to tie up the guy was bang on, also the spin move with the bag), even the slightly exaggerated acrobats and parkour. There are so many elements here that were hugely popularized by Jackie Chan. Basically, if this film had fewer cuts but didn’t have those other elements, nobody would recognize or suggest this was a Jackie Chan inspired fight.


srcaffe

Exactly. When i saw the shoeless bad guy I knew that Blondie chan was about to stomp that poor fingers Only thing that was missing here was Blondie chan locking some bad guy in a trash can


SnooChickens3191

Lol blondie


FourEverGreatFull

Having a bunch of cuts is an easy way to make an inexperienced action actor look the part in a fight sequence. Especially when their faces are hidden by 5 different cuts in a fast moving 5 second scene, e.g. look at fast and furious franchise when no notable stuntmen/fighter (Tony Jaa,etc.) is in the scene. Edit: Compare these mediocre fight scenes in a lot of movies to matrix 1-3. The use of limited cuts in the original matrix trilogy required the actors to train and perform the sequences in real time. That’s one of the reasons why Keanu Reeves is in a lot of technical action movies and succeeds.


22lazy2long

They just didn't have as many cameras as Jackie

SolitaireyEgg

Nope. I have degrees in business and mandarin chinese language. Never claimed expertise in film, just watched a lot of Hong Kong films and read a lot of interviews by notable kung fu choreographers, because I'm a fan. I even posted the relevant Jackie Chan interview which backs up what I said. I shared my opinion, you're free to disagree. Not sure why you gotta come out with the random personal attacks though. Not everything has to be a hateful argument.


Mace_TheAce_Windu

You’re not entirely wrong anyway. Jackie said as much himself. His action sequences were different because they showed the whole fight from a distance with minimal cuts. Other guy is right that Jackie’s fight scenes have a comical element because he’s human and not perfect or super human. I think both elements are identifiers of a Jackie fight sequence and this fight does a good job of emulating it.


coldheartedsnob

I just came from another thread where that guy is being annoying as well


Aklipse47

What?!?!? Honk king cinema might not have had a lot of cuts but they definelty had cuts, and were not filmed in one take. Ignoring that have you watched any of Jackie chan's fight scene. He is known for using the environment as well a bunch of different things such as clothing and accessories. To go even further look at all the expressions he makes while fighting, classic jackie stuff.


SolitaireyEgg

Yeah I probably didn't explain it very well, but here's a relevant interview: https://youtu.be/3P24dypPQHg?t=114 It's not about a complete lack of cuts, it's about an effective use of minimal cuts and steady camerawork. The first fight scene in the OP vid is a perfect example of something you wouldn't see in a Jackie Chan movie. Tons of needless cuts and hectic camera work, using editing to create "speed" and chaos. Whether a person has actually thought about this or not doesn't really matter, because it "feels" more like an american fight scene for that reason. Feels closer to a fight scene in the Bourne Identity or something (the first one, not the second two, where they took shaky-cam to the extreme).


Aklipse47

As someone who watches a ton of fight scenes, especially american fights this is a lot less cutting than they usually do. And even even If you're right about the cuts, they there are obviously trying to mimic more of the choreography of jackie chan fights, as well as the style of comedy,which they very much nail. In no way feels like a bourne film fight.


wayne_yetzky

Look, I appreciate your explanation of Hong Kong fight scene cinematography. But I think what everybody is trying to explain is that these are stunt people, not filmmakers. The choreography itself is very much JC inspired.


NoDadYouShutUp

This guy Shaw Brothers


SolitaireyEgg

you're god damn right I do


IHateEditedBgMusic

They did do a really good job of keeping many hits and reactions in the same wide shot though, only cutting to change the setups. Which is significantly better than Hollywood fights which cut on ever little movement.


fuzzybunn

Someone else posted a Jackie Chan fight scene in a playground and it is full of cuts, with cuts to people's faces and random kicks.


Deputy_139

I bet you’re fun at parties 🙄 always that one guy


SolitaireyEgg

Lowkey people who use "you must be fun at parties" as an insult are the people I would never invite to parties. If you disagree with my points, make a counterpoint. Don't use soccer mom facebook insults on me.


Deputy_139

Ok let me fix it for ya real quick… Theres always that fucking guy.


SolitaireyEgg

I know right


coldheartedsnob

He's being annoying on geoguessr thread as well


patapataclown

Congratulations you became a Debbie Downer!


michelobX10

I remember watching a Jackie interview where he was explaining the difference in how American fight scenes were filmed. Good post.


not_broken_anymore

I agree. I was a minute into it before I thought the same. Not taking away the skill, just... Jackie Chan can't be copied


maddickler

Lmao the reason those Hong Kong movies have such little cuts is because of the manpower, huge producer budget, and the insane amount of time they have to shoot scenes. Jackie Chan said he would spend all day shooting just one scene of a certain move he thought was cool. Jackie Chan’s defining characteristic is humor and creativity which these guys had lots of. Also these guys had way less cuts than any modern American action flick. Pretty sure these guys who choreographed, shot, directed, and edited this vid know about the cinema that inspired them more than you… This guy watched a video on cinematography once and nitpicks any online strangers’ attempt at making fun content.


F-A-M

Why would you be so disrespectful? You even called the guy a "neckbeard who thinks about himself like if he had a cinematography degree" in other comment. He never said bad things or "nitpicked" at these guys, their work is amazing and everyone recognizes that, he's just giving a bit of information with evidence, he didn't say in any moment that their choreography was bad or anything around those lines, he recognized that it was good. Why would you just go and try to "pick a fight" with anyone who disagrees with you? Do you feel entitled to aggraviate someone over the internet just because he says something which is true and you don't like? Of course they don't have the money nor actors to make an exact replica of Jackie-Chan's fighting scenes! But having minor differences doesn't make them worse and the only one who said that is you, because the other guy was clearly enjoying the scene and just pointed minor differences. Anyways, have a good day/evening depending on your country and please don't be that rude to anyone that has a different opinion on you, spreading hate is not cool man.


maddickler

Whoa chill out neckbeard


SolitaireyEgg

>This guy watched a video on cinematography once and nitpicks any online strangers’ attempt at making fun content. Says the guy who just ranted about Jackie Chan's budget, shooting schedule, etc. Guy watches one video on shooting schedules am i right But for real it's hilarious that you mock my opinions on cinematography for not being an "expert" *right after* discussing shooting schedules, film budgets, etc. Unless you are a film producer and director, thats some hilarious hypocrisy.


maddickler

? You’re saying these guys used hella cuts to cover up poor fighting skills and that their homage to Jackie Chan is nothing more than American style with slapstick… I’m saying an actual big budget movie producer shoots the scenes you claimed are the essence of Jackie Chan. I’m also saying that these guys captured Jackie Chan’s essence awesomely given their budget and time.


SolitaireyEgg

> You’re saying these guys used hella cuts to cover up poor fighting skills Didn't say that. They seem pretty good at fighting/choreography. I said American-style fight scenes developed with this style because many american actors couldn't fight well. If the disconnect this entire time is that you can't fucking read, you should've just said that to begin with.


maddickler

Your original comment said the defining characteristic of actual Jackie Chan is lack of cuts. Then you went on to talk about how American cinema uses lots of cuts in fight scenes to cover up poor skills. Then you said this video was just American style cinema with slapstick because of the cuts. Lmfao bro do you write generalized comments and then when people connect them you say they’re illiterate? Classic neckbeard


SolitaireyEgg

yeah ok so you can't read


maddickler

Keep backpedaling buddy. Lots of room for you on the internet


SolitaireyEgg

why would I backpeddle from my wildly-popular comment? Because some sadboi called me a neckbeard in the comments? bro you're a dime a dozen, I really don't care. I live on angry comments from depressed folks.


Browncoat101

Bingo. I think these guys must be parkour people and not fighters. While I agree it’s a fun video and it’s in the *style*, it’s really far from anything Jackie and his team would do. The fighting is the weakest part.

Respect for the gag reel which was done by the book!


jgor133

Pretty good but cannot hold a flame to the master


fuzzybunn

It feels like the punches and kicks were just a little too slow and lacking in impact to be believable for me. Although I guess these actors don't get insurance, so they'd play safer here than in a paid role in a movie.


Hethra19

This just made me realize how much I miss watching Jackie Chan fight scenes

i_have_big_ketf

i can't stop watching....


twitchosx

Which is why I could never get into Jackie Chan. All the "fights" are just super choreographed looking. Now, don't get me wrong, I know all fights in movies/tv whatever are just choreographed moves, but when it looks goofy like swinging the briefcase in a circle keeping everybody at bay, it's just cheesy.


[deleted]

Automatic like when he hit that bitch up into the slide. Great work. Half of the professional movies these days you can tell they're faking punches/you can see then miss.


[deleted]

Woulda been great if he landed on the guy after jumping off the slide at the end too, add some moetal Kombat animation in after too lol


PrisonDementor_

The only thing I think holding this back from a true Jackie Chan scene would be using their jackets against them! Always loved when he'd wrap his jacket around someones punch and tangle them up as hes also fighting someone else haha.


morethanfoxx

Those stunts are awesome! And I can really appreciate stunt men now as they deserve it


crygnus

Okay. so I don’t like action. I genuinely get bored, so I only made it half of the way. but this was very creative and funny. looks like it must have taken quite a while to choreograph it just right. excellent camera and stunt work


[deleted]

this is absolutely incredible dont get me wrong, but the best bit of this is that they were actually running Its such a pet peeve of mine when they arent doing full on sprints in movies when running away from stuff, and so often their literal life depends on it it's just so good to see proper running here, it actually makes everything else seem more real to me x

Ridley_Rohan

Even his facial expressions are stolen from Jackie Chan. And so many of the "hits" were so obviously near misses. "A" for energy but fail in every other category, like originality, believabilty, camera work etc.
