- Welcome to the year 2267.
- For another episode of
Scenic Fights, Fight Scenes Breakdown.
- Woo hoo.
(clicking)
- [Chad] Behind the tree.
- [Logan] Right - [Chad] Throws the weapon.
- Throw it away.
- And, my god, that speed's amazing.
Okay, this is an amazing exchange. Boom.
Okay, let's go back a little bit.
That was really fast. I can't see what happened here.
We're going to slow that down. Let's go back a bit.
- [Logan] Yeah, let's go back.
- [Chad] Look at the rotation of his hips
and look at that stance. That's perfect form.
Professional fighters should look at this video
and know what they should be doing right.
Now, to Captain Kirk's credit,
he does one of the best weaves I've seen in my life, right?
He weaves under that punch.
And stop. Logan, a judo chop was just performed.
- That was from judo right? I thought I saw it.
- You know what? Let's break this down.
Please be responsible.
- But just be careful when you do it.
- Please be careful.
- Yeah, with me. I'm saying be careful with me.
- I will, but I promise, if it goes wrong
it will be painless.
- In this fight scene, the full judo chop
was not fully done, okay?
So what happened was, Kirk dodged, at amazing speed,
this beautiful hook, by Gorn and flanked him.
- Right.
- And I think for safety reasons he did not give
the war cry that is done with this move.
So, what I'm about to demonstrate is the closest thing
to the real judo chop that I can do, without hurting you.
Remember, do not do this irresponsibly at home, all right?
Here we go.
(cries out)
You're fine? You okay?
- I'm okay.
- That is what was beautifully done by Captain Kirk.
I think, you know, to keep everything safe,
he removed that war cry.
Please, if you're going to drill it,
do not make that sound. Do it when you are ready.
And honestly, it's only when you're ready to kill.
Like, I was imagining I was going to go through Logan.
- Mm. I felt it.
- Like, mincemeat on butter and garlic and oregano.
- Delicious.
- Fantastic.
All right. This is interesting.
Okay, so Gorn's trying to kiss Captain Kirk,
and what Gorn's doing here, is he's actually playing
this psychological warfare.
- [Logan] Right.
- [Chad] Ah man. I can't tell if Kirk is in pain or happy.
- [Logan] No he's fighting him off.
- [Chad] Okay.
- That's valid right? The double hit to the ear?
- Captain Kirk's fight IQ has been just beyond amazing.
- Right.
- Beyond amazing.
- That, again, that's why he's captain, you know.
So in the battle, Captain Kirk has a good frame here,
and Gorn is trying to kiss him, and you can,
it's hard to see, but his tongue is moving
in like that fashion. And it's trying to go in.
So this is the battle.
The reptilian Gorn, is releasing a pheromone
that is making Captain Kirk interested in the kiss.
And so, Captain Kirk's in this battle thinking,
"Do I want to do it? Do I not want to do it?"
But sure enough, Captain Kirk stops, breaks, and hits.
And ends that Battle of the Mouths.
(clicking)
He's measuring distance here. All right, good form.
- Right in the chest, but Gorn, he just shrugged it off.
- He's another tier.
- Of being.
And look, Captain Kirk, he's so good on his understanding
of the land, that he happened to find a rock
perfectly placed just above Gorn.
All right, so here he goes, he's going push.
- [Logan] It's a heavy rock.
- [Chad] Mhmm.
- [Logan] Well he's putting his back behind it.
- [Chad] Yeah, yeah, he's measuring out, but here we go.
- Oh, there it goes. There it goes. Oh, Gorn's done.
Gorn's done. I'm going to say Gorn is, Gorn's, whoa.
- Okay. Gorn's a little shocked.
You know, cause that's what Captain Kirk is doing, but.
- You see the smoke? That means that was seriously damaging.
Gorn is done.
Oh, he's moving.
- [Chad] Oh, there you go. And, he grabs a knife.
He's in his element.
He has two things that he's been born with,
rocks and a rock knife.
- Right. I didn't know that you knew this much
about Star Trek.
- You know, I do my research for these fight scenes, Logan,
and it was just a rabbit hole I just went down.
- [Logan] He got some bamboo or whatever that is.
- [Chad] In the desert. Yeah. And perfect rope.
Which, makes sense. That's always around a desert.
- Sure.
- There's always perfect rope and bamboo.
- Right.
Oh, I think I know what he's going to do.
- [Chad] Is that sulfur?
- [Logan] I think he's going to make some gunpowder.
All right, here we're really seeing the entire, like,
almost history of violence, right?
- Mm.
- It's not exactly in order,
but you have all of the elements.
So, for example, in the beginning,
you have the unarmed combatant.
- Mm.
- Then they pick up improvised weapons,
whether it be a stick or rock.
- Mm.
- And then, those weapons improve, so you take the stick,
for example, or the rock, and you make it into
a sharp object, like knife, as Gorn has done.
- [Chad] Mhmm.
- Now we reach all the way to projectile weapons.
- (groans)
- Kirk is making gunpowder to create an improvised cannon.
Here we go.
- [Logan and Chad] Bam.
- [Chad] Amazing.
- That was amazing. Oh, and you know it was effective,
when one half of the cannon's blown out.
I hope he doesn't hurt Gorn, I mean, you know,
it's a downed opponent.
- Let's see.
- [Logan] Don't do it Kirk. You're better than this.
- [Chad] You know what? He shows mercy. He's a great man.
- [Logan] Great man.
- So Captain Kirk, has his cannon pointed at Gorn,
the way he wants it.
And he unleashes hell.
Boom.
(falls)
Now the fight proceeds. Captain Kirk sees his work,
starts coming up, and sees that Gorn has dropped his weapon.
He proceeds to engage in the battle by gathering the weapon.
Remember, earlier in the battle, the Battle of the Mouths,
Gorn, released pheromones that's
probably playing a role on Captain Kirk.
So in his hesitation, that is a factor,
in which Captain Kirk is looking at the lips of Gorn,
and possibly, you don't see him do it,
but you see a twitch of an action
where he wants to do this.
Thinking about the lips, come back out. Maybe again.
Come back out. But he doesn't.
But you see the will and need in his eyes
to possibly do this.
However, if Captain Kirk truly wanted to finish the fight,
he would first want to move into a better position.
Next, you understand, one must end this
with a psychological impact.
I would suggest, using the fingers and just slowly
massaging
the upper lip of Gorn, cause let's be honest,
that was what Gorn was going for Captain Kirk.
I would say play fire with fire, blood to blood,
hand for eyes, let's do this.
So Gorn, is being slowly massaged here,
and with a true war cry
(cries).
And finish.
