John Cusak Fight Scene
was surprisingly good. one of the more realistic fight scenes i've witnessed in a movie. i'm glad they didn't shy away from the violence either. good stuff
shareYup, I enjoyed it too. I'd be curious to know how many times they had to shoot the scene. It was probably pretty exhausting.
shareFunnily enough, I just watched it on blu ray (which despite poor reviews, looks gorgeous) and yes it was exhausting. When the fight first starts everyone looks fresh, then as soon as it cuts to the closeups of their faces, they both l exhausted and sweaty as if they had been doing it all day.
It's a bit of a continuity error, yes the fight would make them sweaty, but not that fast.
yes it would. they are both highly trained assassins a fight between them would be no longer than a min and both would be exhausted thats a fact
shareOh yes, the fight would exhaust them (adrenaline spike and come down) and would only last a moment (because they are both so highly trained, they aren't going to waste time).
However, I do think the sweat comes on a bit too fast. It takes a moment for sweat glands to kick in, to pour down their face etc. Next time you jog or do any sort of physical activity, just take note of how long it takes from feeling the first beads of sweat, to your face being covered in it.
On the Blu Ray they go from dry in the wide shot to soaked in the closeup. However there is no intermediate step.
