My favorite Fight Scene from any movie.

Wow, what a great low-budget flick.

From my review:

First off, I love well done fight scenes, and was a big Bruce Lee fan, and I have to say that the fight in the hallway at the end of the movie, Is my favorite scene I've seen in any movie.

It's great that they tell you it's coming too, because you knew you'd be in for a treat when they started playing bolero :)

The sheer length of the fight is astounding considering there was only one cut in the main part. There's only one obvious cut in the scene and it was needed. So it's several minutes of the lead character bashing fists and nightsticks with 4 guards with no cuts at all. I cant say enough about how it impressed me how far they went without cutting. Many socalled great fight movies have cuts between every punch. I would go so far to say that this scene was the fight directors 5th symphony. It was clearly a labor of love. I know that all of the actors had to be hurting and sore when it was done. The final kick that the hero lands on the guards head to send him spinning like a windmill was amazing.

I also loved the camera setup, it shows just like a side scrolling video game: PERFECT.

The fighting isn't really karate or judo, i'd characterise it as street brawling by guys that have a little bit of karate training.

Anyhow, go see it for the finale fight scene if nothing else, you'll be entertained the entire 85 minutes.

I liked the movie a lot but I was a little disappointed by that scene because it was just a poor man's version of the hallway fight scene from Oldboy. A lot of other movies like Repo Men were able to homage the Oldboy fight scene and make it different enough to keep it interesting, but the hallway fight in this movie just felt like too much of a straight rip-off because of how similar it was to the original. I wasn't crazy about the classical music playing in that scene either because I think melancholic film noir-style music like what played during Oldboy's fight scene would have worked much better. But overall, it was still infinitely better than the terrible fight scene from the Indian knock-off of Oldboy, Zinda.

I guess if you'd never seen another movie before, I could see how this would be a decent flick, but nothing it did hasn't been done infinitely better by dozens of other movies and that hallway fight scene would have saved some of it if it hadn't been an outright rip-off of Oldboy. Whoo, that was a run-on sentence. I need a cigarette and some dramatic narration. maybe a flashback or two.

It was a rip-off of the much better scene of the much better movie "Old Boy". Did you ever see another movie or are you one of the crew for writing such non sense ?
