dude that move that move there's been
times
where i've been to the verge of tears
it's actually giving me a headache
trying to watch this and like analyze it
this is all i'm seeing
hey guys welcome back to another episode
of stuntman react we're happy to be able
to finally film
with guests again and gee has graciously
come in gui is a legend he's done some
incredible things
he's going to give you that professional
insight into one of the most unique
and coolest jobs that you could ever
possibly have so yeah we're gonna hop
into some clips here
let's get started with one of my
favorite kung fu movies of all time
kung fu hustle is directed by one of my
all-time favorite directors i could go
on for hours about how much i love
stephen chow
i love his versatility name definitely
one of my favorite directors of all time
he is a genius
[Music]
so good so he's in
he's on a hong kong harness which only
it's like a belt and it goes through
it's similar to what climbing harness
looks like okay
he's picked at the hips sadly when he
jumps
they they time it with him and doesn't
lift up his shirt or anything like that
what i really like about the hong kong
harness is the fact that it allows
your athleticism to be part of the
performance rather than you just
going for the ride yes sense which they
need him to do at this moment because he
has to
be in rhythm with them and bounce and
jump at the same time and throw the
kicks
and land and have that weight on top of
it
kicks them so hard dust comes off of
them they need to wash their clothes
some more
wait a second how'd they get that dust
puff
on that face kick right here look at
this yeah did he throw it with his hand
no it's on his foot it just flicks off
his toe
also in a little bit later you can see
there's a part where he just slides his
foot through a pile to kick it up into
the air
also ghee what do you use for that dust
i mean usually you use baby powder
but there is another kind of dust that's
a little bit thicker that we use
you just slam his head on the ground
nope no
that was great that was actually a
really good reaction
wow look he used his arm to save himself
he was like boom just enough just
just just
dude that enough got launched look at
this guy
roller coaster ride
[Music]
that's so rad such a sick reveal well
this part's cg right
that's real this is real and then he
goes
absolutely vfx and then this is just
glued together
[Music]
is that like a real martial art style i
believe it's hangar
it's a northern style so it's very deep
stances
the style tiger that you see in kung fu
films for the most part is
of that origin which also will explain
why a lot of
the martial art movements of this style
is it's always so big and round
because they're actually hitting with
their forearms more than their fists at
times
[Music]
dude that move yeah that double the jump
split
back kicks does a really good job of
making impossible moves look possible
right he's very anime inspired yeah
that's what i really liked about kung fu
hustle and resonated with me was his
ability to
take ideas from animation and put it
into dude live action 100
he is the best director who's done anime
to live action style yes
um like shaolin soccer dude right dude
doing it non-stop and everybody's just
running out
dude aim for the top hats
[Laughter]
so much style so much like that that
soul that's in it
makes it even more fun to watch
he's got the craziness in his eyes he's
got that desperate yeah
he stomps with his foot when he hits at
the same time and he holds it and
everything just shakes because there's
so much force behind it
yeah and like his chest is back you know
it's nice
if anybody catches a fly on screen by
the way i'm gonna i'm
um by the end of this episode that that
fly is mine
hey we love hearing from you guys what's
your favorite martial arts movie in fact
what's your favorite martial arts
scene leave a comment down below we love
taking a look
we'll break it down on the show right
here
[Music]
there's there's been times on this show
where i've doubled
uh turk where i've been to the verge of
tears
because of how how how much it hurts
working nights in new york city
during the fall winter is not fun okay
[Music]
so there's a fall here that i wasn't a
fan of
[Music]
so it's new york city it's 2 a.m
close to 15 degrees outside and it's
about 10 feet 15 feet they are like
he's you're gonna you're gonna hit and
splat i'm like cool this is gonna be
great we're gonna put a little neoprene
mat for you and neoprene's like this
thick you know
that neoprene was actually harder than
the roof
really why because when it's cold
it stiffens up even more i did that
maybe seven times
i might as well should just been landing
on the ground without it
because it's not only just the impact
but then it's the freezing burn
that comes after it of your palms gang
scraping across your your chest get
smacking and that wasn't fun
at all here's my thing though in the
edit well you don't see the full thing
right there's more to the chase than
what they actually showed
and they they cut a good chunk of it out
so i'm supposed to
land on it on a lower ledge then jump to
the stairs that you see
over there and then i'm supposed to run
and instead of go
down the last flight i'm supposed to
just jump
and just try to make it and that's what
we do but you know you don't see it in
the shot it just looks like i fell from
on top of the ledge so again you do a
whole bunch of work and at times
you're only going to get a third of it
shown you know in the edit
charlie cox is really cool though we
were doing squats to stay warm
he does squats before every scene like
before they start action he
he pumps his heart up he just gets it
going every like no matter
it's cold no matter it's hot everything
i'm gonna tell him he should come on
here
yeah and then you guys should do an
actor's react you think he would do that
i don't see why not wait hold on hold on
hold on
charlie cox just called me and he said
nico
i'm not going to go on your show until
quarter crew gets 4 million subscribers
i'm like you know what charlie cox we're
at 3.91
so we just need 90 000 subscribers
that's right guys
help us get charlie cox in the show
right now
hey did you get it oh you got it
oh my god okay close up get it
whoa you got duked
punches like a pansy
it's health bar is like down a little
bit now
yeah we're moving slower now
[Music]
so game of thrones has some great sword
fights and has some
not great sword fights i remember being
pretty disappointed with this fight
[Laughter]
ceiling
[Music]
these shots aren't really even showing
any beat in particular like there you go
okay you show the block
and then you show the swing and then
woohoo
like now draw it and he's going for a
thrust
so i feel like they double cut that so
that strike that we see
that overhand it the close-up that
follows afterwards is actually for that
strike
yeah i agree 100 that's just that's the
same move right there play it again
[Laughter]
just kidding i'm back in the fight
oh she was she's bested him somehow no
no i like literally
she keeps him in the back of the knee
like actually what happened like really
what happened spin moved and then she
kicked him
this is all i'm seeing like
i feel like she did that move once and
they made it look like she did it twice
yeah okay that's probably what it was
and then somehow he's down i still don't
know how he's down
right here it's right kick blink
impact them for some reason the most
backwards like far away angle for a kick
also the hound is like the toughest
[ __ ] in westeros
he gets bonked in the chin with her toe
and now he's down
yeah it's actually it's like it's
actually giving me a headache trying to
watch this and like analyze it i'm
trying to follow
it like it's cut so roughly and like
yeah just none of the angles flow
like they're forcing they're forcing it
really hard
yeah like i can't breathe watching this
yeah this is better than the
sword fight yeah it's still it's getting
a little oof getting a little
now we're jumping it feels like a camera
crew was just told to get a couple
angles of a fight scene
so they did and then there's just no
cohesion you think they were just out
there they're like
all right we gotta film all this stuff
you guys just just film this section
just film the fight scene
i kind of feel i don't know man like it
was really this is a big build-up and i
think it was just a case of like you
know both the actors wanted to do the
scene themselves
some people just don't quite have it yet
for sword fighting you know
when they do the matrix you know keanu
reeves and lawrence fishburne they all
have to train for like
months and months and months and i feel
like this is like a couple weeks
and it's also tv it's also tv there's
been good fights on this show
the bow the bastards that was very well
done it's an amazing fight scene
and the trial by combat yeah oh that's a
good fight
leong is dope the same dude
choreographed and doubled
uh for that fight scene he is in mission
impossible fallout he fought
henry cavill and yeah so they've
captured stuff
way better than that let's just say they
didn't have a lot of time on set
you know i would i would ascertain they
maybe had a day or two to shoot this
entire scene
ghee yes what would you do to make the
scene better i would
get the shots that you need with your
actors your big points and then i would
use the wides that they have where
they're using the stunt performers
and let that be the the brandishing of
the fight choreography and then cut in
for the more visceral
intimate scenes that come on later on
but then it's
up to the editor to make that come to
fruition
and i don't think it happened here and i
get what they're trying to do because
these are two very important characters
to the story and they want to
show them both being powerful but
they're trying to get to the point of
brienne being able to win
her being a better fighter they could
have played more to that
and showed how she has to be smarter she
has to be more strategic
than just also being a brawler or if
they want her to just be a brawler then
they should just
clash swords somehow they both get
disarmed and get right to the point of
the nitty-gritty where they're punching
and handling one another
and then show who has the best who who
has the most heart in that aspect
what i would do is i would make it
almost just like a uh like a samurai
showdown where it's like
two dudes stare at each other talk look
like they shot their hands up in the
swords the blades shining in the
sunlight the sweat
dripping down the chin and they yell
they write each other
bling bling bling and they break apart
again and it's just like two or three
hits
and i wouldn't worry about the
choreography at all because clearly the
choreography isn't
that good it would just be entirely
about the emotion setting up a fight and
doing a fight
on tel for television and doing it for
film or you
you have different time with your actors
in comparison
they also have to they're probably
trying to shoot multiple things at the
same time
because it's shot in so many different
places and i wonder if this was a
splinter unit trying to get
this fight together so i give them some
sort of leeway but they got way too much
money and budget for game of thrones to
look like this
i saw someone die late last night
have you been taking your medication you
don't get it
she's here
she followed me here you're not in your
right state of mind
