Title: John Wick movies
Post by: old-school-lifter on December 06, 2018, 02:28:23 PM
hey

im a bit behing the times but I just watched these, #1 and #2


what a load of shite- what a stupid plot line

Reeves looked so shit doing ju jitsu and "Gun Fu"

you can see true martial arts like Seagal, Van Damme, their fight scenes/moves look real fluent and are good but Reeves looked totally fake/wooden

I think the John Wick movies are awesome but of course like most action films the fight scenes are absurd.  Steven Seagal films are much more ridiculous because he rarely gets touched.  Can't wait for John Wick 3.

Interesting.  The real John Wick looks a lot like Keanu Reeves.

One of my kids worked stunts for JW3.  There’ll be a few surprises in the latest.

The first two took in three and four times their budgets, respectively.  Chad (director) knows how to keep things mean and lean.

The movies were pretty good, the Boss 429/Mach 1 was better.

The reason his fight scenes look “wooden” is because he’s old. Been 20 years since The Matrix.

Surprises? Such as Keanu performing Scott Adkins-kicks?

I had really high expactations since a friend pumped the shit out of it but was quite „meh“ after. The kind of movie you forget about as soon as it ends. I preffer „Taken“

Nonsense

Nothin is more real than your opponent waiting for you to hit him

In one of my martial-arts classes, the sifu introduced us to a close friend who was visiting the country. This guy was like a JCVD type: kick master.

I’d never seen those kicks done in real life and was shocked at the speed and ferocity when performed by a high-level practitioner. He sparred a little without the kicks making contact. In the blink of an eye he could launch knee and feet offensives that, if he’d desired, would seriously rock your world.  

Now I’m well aware of practicalities. Weather, landscape, clothing, available space. However, to suggest such a skilled and athletic individual couldn’t utilize these specific talents in a number of situations is ridiculous.

That's where "Taken" ends and "John Wick"begins.

The second one was laying the ground work for how his legend was established. Plus, it showed an underworld assassin network. With various sects, codes, cultures. Many people didn’t pay attention to that.


Here is a great vid on how to shoot like John Wick, from the instructor who is like a firearms sensei to the stars. Watch how he gets the shooter’s time down.

Movie making technology has come a long way. It's possible for action films and those who act in them to look incredibly real regardless that it is all still fakery. Action films have never been known for having intelligent plots. If one does, it's a rarity.

Savate AKA Boxe Française.  I trained under a Silver Glove II and experienced how kicks for them are like jabs for boxers.
