Keanu's fighting...


Keanu's fighting was so rigid and stiff. Almost like Tiger was fighting a tall, lanky, wooden robot version of Nicholas Cage. You owe me a life! Lol

Yeah, he really should've used a body double. It may be that Tiger was so awesome, it made Keanu look slow even though Keanu was good. Just like competent fighters would look slow against Bruce Lee.

Yeah it was so noticeable. It made me kind of laugh at the fact Tiger easily dismantled much more skillful fighters but struggled against Keanu's rigid, stiff and less skilled style lol.

Keanu was using the stilted scarecrow style for much of the fight. It's a very rare style, which is surprising since it only takes hours to master. It's known for taking advantage of a very low center of gravity, usually in the form of curling up in a tight ball on the ground with hands protecting the head.

Brilliant.

Yes it was, but I *think* that was the point. Although Keanu certainly isn't on the same level as Tiger, I think he could have easily been made to look like he could match him. And I only say this because of his - far more convincing - fighting in John Wick. Granted he didn't have a big showdown with someone like Tiger in that movie, but his fighting there was the complete opposite of what it was in this film. So in my mind, Keanu's character was supposed to show little to no effort while dominating the very powerful hero (something you see from many movie villains). Either way, it was still a thoroughly entertaining scene that you knew was coming (had more potential though).


You want something corny? You got it!
