To answer the question about the lightsaber, Lucas designed the lightsabers to actually have weight, because it's not just light. This is why he required everyone in the OT to wield lightsabers with 2 hands, because he wanted to show them being these heavy weapons, whereas the Jedi in the old republic being so skilled were able to wield them with efficiency and be able to wield them single handedly. With a saber staff, the lore is that only the most skilled force users were able to master such a blade and that when a saber staff wielder was involved, it would normally take 2 force users to be able to stand up to the individual like Maul.
Exactly what I was going to say. It's (according to canon) not a "laser" but a controlled plasma beam. So there is some weight/resistance, due to the weight of the hilt and dealing with the rhythm of the plasma. (I always pictured it as being similar to a gyroscope: you can just flip it over, but the energy's going to work against you. Working with the blade's rhythm is easier.)
Also, putting power in a swing is likely a tactic to control your opponents defense. When the sabers connect, Force is transferred knocking them back. If Maul is defending against a powerful swing from QuiGon, Obiwan has a chance to attack simultaneously.
scientifically that doesn't make much sense. my personal theory is that force users use the force to add weight to the blade. which is why only force users can use lightsabers effectively
Luke: "Scott is an amazing actor, he turns the energy on at any time" "No one can be Darth Maul other than Ray" "Tom is a beast, he gives 2000%" "That was a moment of brilliance by Jesse" Also Luke: "Hope I didn't treat anyone too harshly"
Thsi guys is talking non sense, expecially when he talks about the guards. There are many guards in european martial arts whre the sword is not centered in front of your body
Vehicle stunt: Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, the scene where they Chitty-chitty bang-bang through the jungle and flip the car into a parking spot "like a glove".
I really like how you guys always let the guests talk and never interrupt them or get in the way of their discussion. This dude has so much knowledge and experience. Luke’s got amazing camera presence and he was perfect for the show. Hope we see more of him on the channel!
See, most people end up believing that stuntmen are grunts, there for the action and the "cool" stuff... But you hear this guy talking, and he seems to understand that he's a part of something greater. A piece of art that involves drama, release and conflict and that it's not always portrayed by words alone. I love how he speaks so passionately about his job ^^
There's a difference between a stuntman and a fight choreographer, although most choreographers inevitably end up doing stunts. This guy is a choreographer. He orchestrates the fight scenes while the stunt guys act it out. The choreographer must consider many factors, in addition to to fight itself such as the camera angles, safety, and skill of the actors and stuntmen. As you saw, even with a skilled actor, sometimes you need a stunt double to take the particularly nasty hits to preserve the actor for the rest of the movie. Fun stuff.
It’s the little details that make the biggest difference and are the most interesting to me which is why this is one of my favorite Stuntmen React episodes
With regard to lightsabers, I'll be "that guy" - the extended universe establishes that despite being weightless, they have significant gyroscopic behaviour that makes them MORE unwieldy than solid-bladed equivalents.
It also has things called light foils. Wielded by “saber rakes” from Correllia (I think), they are very thin lightsaber weapons but they weren’t as reliable as lightsabers. Edit: spelling
I put in mind the suspension of disbelief in stories like sci-fi or any fictional story because what is the point Jedis and siths aren't human they have force Power, what ever you try to make logical ot won't even matter "Oh look those spins looks unnecessary" but it's just going to get countered with oh its suppesed to be like that to bait them and gets force push because they can predict the future or something with the force. It’s just fiction just enjoy it.

The car chase from Ronin. Legends say that the only direction John Frankenheimer gave to his stunt drivers was "I never want to see your brake lights."
Car stunt: Mad Max Fury Road when they have to fend off the Buzzards, the whole sequence is theatrically intense and you can smell the gasoline just going all out on the screen
Fun fact, the Jedi have 7 different forms of lightsaber fighting, and some forms counter others, but it is quite interesting. And as said by many actors, they are actually quite cumbersome
Form II, which dooku uses incredibly proficiently, has always seemed the most obvious choice for a truly weightless blade (I know the Rebels lore, but Dooku is such a good duelist that the blade is probably effectively weightless). Followed by Form III (like Obi-Wan) and I guess VII for the duel blade (may I point you to Pong Krell in the clone wars series)
I think the best part of the star wars fight scene is all the storytelling that filled it. During the scene you get insight into the personality of all 3 characters without the use of dialogue.
@ Billy Book Wanna see the craziest car reck scene? Look up the Blues Brothers with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi. It's a bit orthodox but the biggest pile up you will ever see in film!
You HAVE to do the sword fight scene from The Princess Bride, “I am not left handed!” Also the sword fight scene in the parking garage in Highlander, those back flips!!!
The chase was partially based on a police chase that happened in São Paulo, Brazil, 10 years ago. It was broadcasted live on TV, and I actually watched it on the occasion. ua-cam.com/video/sF0H2hXPmBc/v-deo.html
@eating sugar no papa well you didn't have to go that far
3 роки тому
Wow! Luke LaFontaine definitely knows his stuff! When talking about the Rob Roy fight, I fully expected him to talk about rapiers, but he called the weapon - quite correctly - a transitional rapier. Great episode! We need more of these!
good chooses choices I think Bullitt, the France connection, the seven ups, the driver, death proof and gone in 60 seconds 1974 and 2000, and ronin would also be good choices.
one of my favorite sword fights in film is from Curse of the Black Pearl where Will and Jack fight in the forge. It's not the flashiest perse, but the weight it holds to what the characters of Will and Jack are like has made that fight stick in my mind for a long, long time
I consider that series to have some of the most iconic action. They always make great use of the environments and keep at least a couple things happening at all times
@@iamtheflu Yeah what he doesn't know is that saber's do have a "weight" to them. They're constantly pushing and pulling giving them a type of "weight" it's not actually weight more like resistance. So the big heavy swings do infact have purpose.
Yep. The swords are plasma, not light. Lightsaber is a misnomer but makes sense In-universe if you assume they're naming it based on its appearance. Plus "plasmasaber" doesn't sound as cool. Lightsabers contain their plasma blades using a magnetic field, which causes them to have unintuitive momentum and magnetic balance. That's why usually only Jedi used them, The Force helped them predict and control the magnetic forces. This explanation was originally posed in Expanded Universe/Legends continuity, but was canonized in Star Wars Rebels when Kanan Jarrus is giving Ezra Bridger his first lightsaber lesson. He teaches him about the length adjustor, as well.
@@maxinecaulfield310 Stunt-wise, there may not actually be much to talk about, but that scene is the closest thing to a perfect car-chase that I've ever seen. Extreme stunts or not, I'd love to see an expert talk about it.
@@Ugly_German_Truths Basil Rathburn was a master swordsman at the time of filming that movie and Danny Kay was an incredible mimic who could pick up practically any move, so Basil ended up basically fighting himself.
The part where Tom braces the blade he also twist the blade just a bit before impact. This is also a traditional tactic used to save the cutting edge from damage. There’s just as much skilled involved preserving your sword as there is using it.
Vehicle tunts I'd love to see analysed: * Buster Keaton and the train * Motorcycle scene from Mission Impossible 2 * Any of the numerous bus stunts from Speed * Comparison of the original vs the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds.
A double bladed sword is inpractical because it has to slice through which needs force. A lightsabre needs no force for slicing it goes through matter like a knife trough butter. So wielding something which can be swung around as fast as you spin means there is less impractically because all you need to do is is getting one lightsabre side between you and the opponent and one side of that weapon can be quickly positioned.
@@Bluargh02 I mean I think it's impractical because you've added a huge chance of killing yourself (especially if it takes no force to cut) and restricted your own movement a lot. It's awkward and difficult to get the blade towards the opponent, it's awkward to parry thrusts towards the middle of the blade. There were no double sided rapiers for a reason.
People forgot that these characters have the force XD, but yeah, if you're a normal non force sensitive person, even a normal lightsaber have a higher chance of killing you than it will harm others XD
Something i remember seeing about that obi wan darth maul fight was that he and ewan mcregor got the fight down so well and got so into it that they had to actually slow it down to make it look more realistic, as they were going too fast for drama
Victor the Kid oh yeah it was very fake. They couldn’t get the actual car to roll on it’s own so they used a big steam launcher thing and it’s painfully obvious in the movie.
@@sharperrogue2093 when they use such obviously fake cars for stunts and they don't even care about hiding it, it takes me out of the immersion. The casino Royale flip, the Dark Knight big rig flip, and every crash in the atrocious Need For Speed movie all come to mind.
Vehicle Stunt: Y'all NEED to talk about Ronin. As a car guy that movie has so many cool unique cars as well as one of the largest (maybe the largest) number of stunt drivers for a single chase. It brings something that many modern car chases lack: real drama and anxiety in the chase itself, not just the story. I'm obsessed with immersion so understanding how cars actually move in a chase and how they look when they crash means a lot of good movies get ruined for me due to small inaccuracies and stupid huge explosions that rarely happen in real life (granted Ronin has a couple of these). The entire movie is filled with realistic driving scenes other than the final chase too.
Favourite vehicle stunts: -The Ford Anglia in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets -The train in Spider-Man 2 -The bullet train scene in Wolverine (the one where he goes to Japan) There are more that I can’t think of now
All the car stunts from “Death Proof”, especially the ones with Zoe Bell on the hood. The police car chases from “The Blues Brothers”. Specifically, the one through the mall, and the big one at the end of the movie... Jackie Chan driving a car through a shanty town in “Police Story”... The iconic Charger/Mustang chase from “Bullitt”... And the Jaguar/Challenger race from “Vanishing Point” (original).
I thought of this for several moments, because it almost seemed rude to imply no one could work as hard and be a good Darth Maul, but he IS right, because even if another talented, and dedicated actor comes into that role, for people who know, who REALLY know how to see and understand the unique nuances of an actor's motions, emotion, and in this case, fighting style, it's virtually impossible to truly mimic another actor's nuances to a T, and that much harder to please large fan-bases, much less the more hardcore in said groups for a particular actor/performer. That said, it's not IMPOSSIBLE to mimic someone that close, just insanely difficult, you almost have to be a clone of a person, or just truly skilled in that form of research and, for lack of a better word, absorption of another person's style, to be confused with the other actor, and I think MOST people in the world have had that one rare moment where they actually do a double take and think, "W-,Wait, that's not Him/Her?!", as they are truly flabbergasted by a performance.
This is just awesome, I knew sword fights are tough to choreograph but now I understood it is way more tough then it looks. Hats off too all stunt men and choreographers. And I didn't expected that they keep swords in their office 😉
The fight in Phantom Menace wasn’t choreographed by Ray Park with a Czech stunt guy helping him. It was a brutish stunt/fight coordinator Andreas Petrides and Ray helped him come up with some ideas!
also the jungle vehicle chase fencing match in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is really good. Lots of things going on but all very cleanly cut make for a very exciting, layered action set.
J think the fight between Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow and Orlando Bloom's Will Turner in the first Pirates of the Caribbean should be featured in one of these. Great episode as always
Vehicle “stunts”: Jeep in a tree scene in Jurassic Park Lost World: where the Trex runs through San Diego Jumanji: how did they film vines folding a cop car in half?
Vehicle stunts: To Live and Die In LA car chase, The Blues Brothers car chase through a mall, Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) 40 min car chase, Mad Max 1, 2 and Fury Road
Pretty solid. Every version of "The Three Musketeers" has a different sword fighting/action style, would love for Luke to break that down. Favorite Car Stunts: Death Proof "Ship's Mass Chase" & Blues Brothers "Mall Chase"
React to the final fight in Sanjuro!! The one where they just stand looking at each other for like a literal minute then both pull out their katanas and the fights over in like 0.3 seconds. I love that scene
Mad max: the first one, where Johnny boy tosses “car piece” at Jim Goose, Road warrior where the character “Bear Claw” climbs across the whole vehicle in the final chase, Thunder Dome where one of the character (forgot his name) drives the car upside down and finally Fury Road where Max transfers from car to car in the final chase trying to get back to the war rig
The opening chase from mad max 79 is incredible. The part when they miss the baby then obliterate the van and trailer back to back. They should discuss that part. Or the whole finale from road warrior. Fury road has been analyzed plenty on UA-cam.
Vehicle stunts: Would love to see a break-down of the Back to the Future 3 DeLorean on tracks, pushed by a locomotive, with people on it, heading for a ravine. Keep up the good work!
To be fair, Ray has been training for his whole life and was a two-time gold medalist in the World Wushu Championships before ever making a film. Tom had almost no experience or training prior to The Last Samurai. (He might have had a bit of sword choreography on Legend.) But of course, anything over 100% is hyperbole anyway.
I love Fury Road and I’ve been trying to suggest it forever but I’m always late to the vid and I don’t think anyone ever sees it. I hope they do this time, especially for vehicle stunts.
The Rob Roy fight is my all-time favorite. Specifically because of how it ends. My explanation for why Archibald didn’t let go of his rapier is simple: he was too surprised and shocked that Rob would just grab his blade like that. He was an arrogant snob.
I agree. I also think there were several other things incorrect with his analysis of that fight. The duel was to the death. If he let his rapier go, he would be unarmed. They were two entirely different fighting styles. Archibald's tactic was about speed and cutting. He could wear the opponent down. Hence why he cut Rob up then stood on the opposite side of the room - Rob was either gonna stand there and pass out or exhaust himself more to come at him. Gave Archie much more power. Also, that comment as to why he blocked that attack while moving well out of the way, it is 1) a guarantee he won't get hit (which is smart considering one hit from Rob probably would end the fight) and 2) always misdirect the blow. It's just sensible. Rob's fight style was literally the highlander of Scotland. Brute strength. Holding his sword not at en garde? He probably didn't even know what that was. But it does put him in the position for a power blow - his kind of fighting. Also why he wore himself out so quick. Archie wore him down, as said earlier. Assuming both fighters (specifically Rob Roy) knew everything about fighting is in and of itself a bad assumption. They even say in the movie that Archibald is easily the better fighter. But what did Rob have to lose by not fighting? He was gonna lose his land, his wife had been raped, he likely would've been executed or thrown in the stockades, his clan would have been driven from their land and probably not survived the winter - he had a lot on his shouldera going into the fight. Archie, well, didn't. Archibald (Tim Roth) was great in that movie, and that is possibly one of the best sword fights ever.
Try to hold a (sharp and narrow) oiled steel blade with a (sweaty, bloodied) hand. A butter knife with butter, for example. By design and intention, the handle gives you a ten to one advantage. Of course, a fight won by moral superiority alone should be top
Vehicle stunt: indiana Jones and the last crusade, the tank scene
And the motorcycle jousting scene!
I even liked the scene in Crystal Skull, in the warehouse. As notorious as the film is.
Yeeeeessssss
All of those are great and I’d like to see the Raiders one with the ark in the truck. Could even do the mine cart scene from Temple of Doom
Screw it just an entire Indiana Jones ep
Mad Max: Fury Road. The vehicle stunts in that movie are absolutely insane.
Έλα τι μας ηπες
Oh yeah, oh fucking yeah.
The scenes with the swinging poles, the bike jumps over the war rig. The stunt where a chain trap destroys a car.
Fuck.
The whole Mad Max franchise would be a great fit for this series.
Hell yes
There's such good behind the scenes for all those stunts. Well worth the 20-40min vids
Also a sword scene, Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the black pearl, Jack Sparrow vs Will turner in the blacksmith shack.
Agreed, that whole scene was awesome, had that spontaneity of a Jackie Chan mmovie
Yes.
And also a great many sword fights in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Especially when Depp and Bloom themselves did a lot of the fight choreography
every sword fight in the potc franchise is amazing, even the spinning fucking wheel duel in dmc
Every sword fight out of Pirates is great and should be reviewed

two of my favorite channels collide -- and a new universe begins to take shape.
It rivals The French Connection as the best car chase scene in movie history. Great movie too.
Just watched for the first time,i can only describe it as "Il etait un rendez vous" and the 1974 gone in 60 seconds had a steroid infused baby.
oi what are you doing away from the salt mines
Vehicle stunt: LITERALLY ALL OF MAD MAX FURY ROAD
Car stunt: Mad Max Fury Road when they have to fend off the Buzzards, the whole sequence is theatrically intense and you can smell the gasoline just going all out on the screen
Everything in Mad Max Fury Road
Fury Road VS Road Warrior stuns maybe?
And when they're on the pole thingies later on.
Yes
Fun fact, the Jedi have 7 different forms of lightsaber fighting, and some forms counter others, but it is quite interesting. And as said by many actors, they are actually quite cumbersome
Form II, which dooku uses incredibly proficiently, has always seemed the most obvious choice for a truly weightless blade (I know the Rebels lore, but Dooku is such a good duelist that the blade is probably effectively weightless). Followed by Form III (like Obi-Wan) and I guess VII for the duel blade (may I point you to Pong Krell in the clone wars series)
The chase scene through Gotham City in Dark Knight, when Joker is chasing Harvey Dent in the SWAT van.
Duuuude: The Lost World Jurassic Park's falling RV shot is awesome what with how they actually dropped it and everything
I really hope they choose this. It’s such a good scene
Raiders: horse/truck chase, Last Crusade: tank scene
I think the best part of the star wars fight scene is all the storytelling that filled it. During the scene you get insight into the personality of all 3 characters without the use of dialogue.

@ Billy Book Wanna see the craziest car reck scene? Look up the Blues Brothers with Dan Akroyd and John Belushi. It's a bit orthodox but the biggest pile up you will ever see in film!
You HAVE to do the sword fight scene from The Princess Bride, “I am not left handed!” Also the sword fight scene in the parking garage in Highlander, those back flips!!!
I was also hoping for that scene.
Oh yeah totally Princess bride would be amazing for them to react to.
Yaaassss
Samuel L Jackson, Captain America: Winter Soldier, SUV Attack and Chase Scene
They already have
Yes!
The chase was partially based on a police chase that happened in São Paulo, Brazil, 10 years ago. It was broadcasted live on TV, and I actually watched it on the occasion.
ua-cam.com/video/sF0H2hXPmBc/v-deo.html
@Maciej Królikowski Damn, must of missed that video, thanks for letting me know. Brilliant segment all the same
@eating sugar no papa well you didn't have to go that far
Wow! Luke LaFontaine definitely knows his stuff! When talking about the Rob Roy fight, I fully expected him to talk about rapiers, but he called the weapon - quite correctly - a transitional rapier. Great episode! We need more of these!
“Vehicle” stunts? Blues Brothers the police chase at the end, Death Race and The Cannonball Run Movies, Keep the good work up guys.
good chooses choices I think Bullitt, the France connection, the seven ups, the driver, death proof and gone in 60 seconds 1974 and 2000, and ronin would also be good choices.
BEST AND BIGGEST CAR CHASE IN THE HISTORY OF CAR CHASES!!!
One of my most favourite movies!
one of my favorite sword fights in film is from Curse of the Black Pearl where Will and Jack fight in the forge. It's not the flashiest perse, but the weight it holds to what the characters of Will and Jack are like has made that fight stick in my mind for a long, long time
I consider that series to have some of the most iconic action. They always make great use of the environments and keep at least a couple things happening at all times
Vehicle stunt: The helicopter chase from Mission Impossible Fallout.
Hell ya !! That was really something new
And in that vein mi:2 bike chase
You guys need to do another one of these. I'd love to see a review of princess bride, mask of zorro etc. The choreography in those is something else.
Luke: The sword is made of light, it doesn't weight anything.
The Internet: ... umm actually...
Isn't it supposed to be like swinging around a big magnetic gyroscope?
Right. They're made of plasma.
@@iamtheflu Yeah what he doesn't know is that saber's do have a "weight" to them. They're constantly pushing and pulling giving them a type of "weight" it's not actually weight more like resistance. So the big heavy swings do infact have purpose.
Yeah there is an episode in clone wars or rebels where someone says it's much heavier than they thought it would be
Yep. The swords are plasma, not light. Lightsaber is a misnomer but makes sense In-universe if you assume they're naming it based on its appearance. Plus "plasmasaber" doesn't sound as cool.
Lightsabers contain their plasma blades using a magnetic field, which causes them to have unintuitive momentum and magnetic balance. That's why usually only Jedi used them, The Force helped them predict and control the magnetic forces.
This explanation was originally posed in Expanded Universe/Legends continuity, but was canonized in Star Wars Rebels when Kanan Jarrus is giving Ezra Bridger his first lightsaber lesson. He teaches him about the length adjustor, as well.
Car chase: Ryan Gosling's "Drive"
Vehicle stunt: Mad Max Fury Road
What's special about Drive's chase, stunt-wise?
@@maxinecaulfield310 Stunt-wise, there may not actually be much to talk about, but that scene is the closest thing to a perfect car-chase that I've ever seen. Extreme stunts or not, I'd love to see an expert talk about it.
@@StormicusIII We talk about stunts in this series, sir.
Jackie Chan: Hover Boat. He got seriously injured and almost died on this stunt.
RIGHT!!! Plus driving the Lambo with a huge sword!
when did he _not_ get seriously injured?
Corridor Crew: Let’s look at the most iconic sword fight in movies-shows Star Wars
Princess Bride: “As you wish...”
And the Court Jester pouts in the corner...
@@Ugly_German_Truths Basil Rathburn was a master swordsman at the time of filming that movie and Danny Kay was an incredible mimic who could pick up practically any move, so Basil ended up basically fighting himself.
Vehicle Stunts: anything and every thing from Mad Max.
Car chase / vehicle stunts: literally anything from Baby Driver
I think they've gone over baby driver before, a lot of the scenes were "enhanced" with cg obstacles
they reacted to baby driver before with Eric Linden
Yess
Vehicle Stunt: The original Italian Job - driving the Mini Coopers onto a moving truck
200% this, the whole mini cooper escape is brilliant.
The part where Tom braces the blade he also twist the blade just a bit before impact. This is also a traditional tactic used to save the cutting edge from damage. There’s just as much skilled involved preserving your sword as there is using it.
Vehicle tunts I'd love to see analysed:
* Buster Keaton and the train
* Motorcycle scene from Mission Impossible 2
* Any of the numerous bus stunts from Speed
* Comparison of the original vs the remake of Gone in 60 Seconds.
Car chase/ vehicle stunts: 'The Blues Brothers' police chase scene
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yyyyyeeeeeesssssssss
PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASSEE
HELL YEAH! Was hoping someone mentioned it. And it has to be the original film (Mall chase, Highway chase, Downtown Chicago).
"Double bladed lightsaber isn't practical"
Shadiversity: *Heavy Breathing*
A double bladed sword is inpractical because it has to slice through which needs force. A lightsabre needs no force for slicing it goes through matter like a knife trough butter. So wielding something which can be swung around as fast as you spin means there is less impractically because all you need to do is is getting one lightsabre side between you and the opponent and one side of that weapon can be quickly positioned.
@@Bluargh02 I mean I think it's impractical because you've added a huge chance of killing yourself (especially if it takes no force to cut) and restricted your own movement a lot. It's awkward and difficult to get the blade towards the opponent, it's awkward to parry thrusts towards the middle of the blade. There were no double sided rapiers for a reason.
Glad to know there's somebody here who watches Shadiversity too
People forgot that these characters have the force XD, but yeah, if you're a normal non force sensitive person, even a normal lightsaber have a higher chance of killing you than it will harm others XD
Something i remember seeing about that obi wan darth maul fight was that he and ewan mcregor got the fight down so well and got so into it that they had to actually slow it down to make it look more realistic, as they were going too fast for drama
Vehicle Stunts: The world record breaking car roll from Casino Royale.
It's a very impressive roll but...
The entire stunt looks hella faked, specially the car.
Victor the Kid oh yeah it was very fake. They couldn’t get the actual car to roll on it’s own so they used a big steam launcher thing and it’s painfully obvious in the movie.
@@sharperrogue2093 when they use such obviously fake cars for stunts and they don't even care about hiding it, it takes me out of the immersion.
The casino Royale flip, the Dark Knight big rig flip, and every crash in the atrocious Need For Speed movie all come to mind.
@@necromax13 but they actually did flip that semi in Dark Knight, that shit was real
@@necromax13 The Dark Knight one was legit though...
Vehicle Stunt: Y'all NEED to talk about Ronin. As a car guy that movie has so many cool unique cars as well as one of the largest (maybe the largest) number of stunt drivers for a single chase. It brings something that many modern car chases lack: real drama and anxiety in the chase itself, not just the story.
I'm obsessed with immersion so understanding how cars actually move in a chase and how they look when they crash means a lot of good movies get ruined for me due to small inaccuracies and stupid huge explosions that rarely happen in real life (granted Ronin has a couple of these). The entire movie is filled with realistic driving scenes other than the final chase too.
I second this. It's probably THE best car chase in film history.
YES! That chase was incredible!!
Favourite vehicle stunts:
-The Ford Anglia in Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets
-The train in Spider-Man 2
-The bullet train scene in Wolverine (the one where he goes to Japan)
There are more that I can’t think of now
For a video about movie sword fights, sure has a lot of Scott Adkins fist fights.
All the car stunts from “Death Proof”, especially the ones with Zoe Bell on the hood.
The police car chases from “The Blues Brothers”. Specifically, the one through the mall, and the big one at the end of the movie...
Jackie Chan driving a car through a shanty town in “Police Story”...
The iconic Charger/Mustang chase from “Bullitt”...
And the Jaguar/Challenger race from “Vanishing Point” (original).
In Bullitt, the mustang is chasing a charger, not a challenger. Just so you know
Yanis O.B whoops! Yes, you are correct. Had Vanishing Point on my mind when I was writing that. Thanks. Corrected above.
"No one else will ever be Darth Maul except Ray Park"
Disney: *Checks Instagram*
Darth Maul* but I was thinking the same thing
@@MangoChunks Lol thanks, it was in my head but not typed
Was looking for this!
You put Ray Park & Sam Witwer together, and you get an iconic character.
I thought of this for several moments, because it almost seemed rude to imply no one could work as hard and be a good Darth Maul, but he IS right, because even if another talented, and dedicated actor comes into that role, for people who know, who REALLY know how to see and understand the unique nuances of an actor's motions, emotion, and in this case, fighting style, it's virtually impossible to truly mimic another actor's nuances to a T, and that much harder to please large fan-bases, much less the more hardcore in said groups for a particular actor/performer.
That said, it's not IMPOSSIBLE to mimic someone that close, just insanely difficult, you almost have to be a clone of a person, or just truly skilled in that form of research and, for lack of a better word, absorption of another person's style, to be confused with the other actor, and I think MOST people in the world have had that one rare moment where they actually do a double take and think, "W-,Wait, that's not Him/Her?!", as they are truly flabbergasted by a performance.
The Nick Fury car chase scene in Captain America Winter Solider
That’s actually a good ass scene. With the presidential truck.
This is just awesome, I knew sword fights are tough to choreograph but now I understood it is way more tough then it looks. Hats off too all stunt men and choreographers. And I didn't expected that they keep swords in their office 😉
Indiana Jones: last crusade, tank scene.

Didn't they cover that in another episode?
@@lordporpoise8761 pretty sure
They covered that in a past episode but I forgot which one

“No one else will ever be darth maul”
Sam Witwer: “hold my beer”
Ray Park mocapping Darth Maul voiced by Sam Witwer: *Duel of the Fates intensifies*
Witwer is great but Ray Park made that character.
Ray Park never voiced Darth Maul though, he’s always played him physically only
@@samishi2811 did you forget he spoke in TPM and in solo?
@@robertogurrola7465 that wasn't Ray Park, he was dubbed over by other actors. As far as I can remember that was actually Sam Witwer's voice in solo.
That avengment fight was brutal(in the best of ways). Scott is a beast.
Vehicle stunt: anything from Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy
Vehicle stunt: The plane scene from the dark knight rises
The fight in Phantom Menace wasn’t choreographed by Ray Park with a Czech stunt guy helping him.
It was a brutish stunt/fight coordinator Andreas Petrides and Ray helped him come up with some ideas!
I like the motorbike jump over a chopper in 007.
And the tenet scene
(How tf are they gonna rewind time on a plane crash?)
Favorite vehicle stunt scene: most of Baby Driver. Either the opening scene or the end scene against Buddy.
i am glad i did, 6-7 years ago. this is one of the best. you can't ignore how great these guys are.
Vehicle Stunts: The Ark chase in Raiders of The Lost Ark hands down.
also the jungle vehicle chase fencing match in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is really good. Lots of things going on but all very cleanly cut make for a very exciting, layered action set.
Came down here to say this ↑
The kingdom of the crystal skull chase could actually double as a fencing fight for Luke and a vehicle chase for Niko and Clint to take a look at.
Bourne Identity: Mini chase
Original Italian Job: the escape
I love that Car chase in The Italian Job.
Hai Boai You do know that’s not related to what we’re talking about, right?
J think the fight between Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow and Orlando Bloom's Will Turner in the first Pirates of the Caribbean should be featured in one of these. Great episode as always
I think They’ve covered it before👍
Definitely ‘The Princess Bride’ sword fight! One of my all time favorites!
Vehicle Stunt: The police chase from The Blues Brothers. So many police cars...
Also sword fighting from The Count of Monte Cristo
It held the world record for the most cars smashed then only to be beaten by Blues Brothers 2000 by 1 car haha.
Oh my god, yes! I loved the police chases so much as a kid! Even better rewatching it now.
Just left a comment saying this same thing about the final car chase from blues brothers
Came here to post the Blues Brothers.
Indiana Jones [Raiders Of The Lost Ark], when Indiana is chasing after the Nazis while they try to take the Ark to Cairo on a truck.
@Eva Presses Buttons Yeah, that one is also awesome!
5:21 probably watched that scene like 5 times because it was just so good
The Princess Bride fight scene is an absolute classic.
Oooo yeah that one plz
Vehicle “stunts”:
Jeep in a tree scene in Jurassic Park

Jumanji: how did they film vines folding a cop car in half?
MicroDog7S I would love to see these, especially more stuff from jumanji

Every car chase scene in baby driver.
I agree with the vine crushing the cop car in half
Vehicle stunts: To Live and Die In LA car chase, The Blues Brothers car chase through a mall, Gone in 60 Seconds (1974) 40 min car chase, Mad Max 1, 2 and Fury Road
I Def second to live and die in la as a request.
Pretty solid. Every version of "The Three Musketeers" has a different sword fighting/action style, would love for Luke to break that down.
Favorite Car Stunts: Death Proof "Ship's Mass Chase" & Blues Brothers "Mall Chase"
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: the TANK SCENE
Vehicle stunt: Tom Cruise hanging onto the side of a plane in Mission: Impossible.
Underrated comment. That one took some serious cojones
they did that already, I watched that MI because I saw the stunt on corridor’s breakdown
Vehicle Stunt: Casino Royale, James rolling his Aston Martin
Who's that dude in the star shirt behind Niko?
That car crash is probably the best I've seen.
@@Bubbertan They actually had trouble getting the Aston Martin to roll at first so they did some stuff to get it to flip how they wanted it to.
React to the final fight in Sanjuro!! The one where they just stand looking at each other for like a literal minute then both pull out their katanas and the fights over in like 0.3 seconds. I love that scene
Mad max: the first one, where Johnny boy tosses “car piece” at Jim Goose, Road warrior where the character “Bear Claw” climbs across the whole vehicle in the final chase, Thunder Dome where one of the character (forgot his name) drives the car upside down and finally Fury Road where Max transfers from car to car in the final chase trying to get back to the war rig
More like any mad max car scene
N Cable
True man, should’ve worked smarter not harder XD
The opening chase from mad max 79 is incredible. The part when they miss the baby then obliterate the van and trailer back to back. They should discuss that part. Or the whole finale from road warrior. Fury road has been analyzed plenty on UA-cam.
The Island: highway chase scene
Deadpool: Highway scene
Vehicle stunts: Would love to see a break-down of the Back to the Future 3 DeLorean on tracks, pushed by a locomotive, with people on it, heading for a ravine. Keep up the good work!
I just love the car chase on Blues Brothers with all the vehicles man legendary
The effort Luke says each actor gives:
Tom Cruise - 2000%
Ray Park - 200%
To be fair, Ray has been training for his whole life and was a two-time gold medalist in the World Wushu Championships before ever making a film. Tom had almost no experience or training prior to The Last Samurai. (He might have had a bit of sword choreography on Legend.)
But of course, anything over 100% is hyperbole anyway.
He also gave Scott Adkins 200%
@@nathanfreeman3217 hyperbole, I 1000% agree!
Vehicle stunts: The war rig crashes in Road Warrior and Fury Road.
Best in movie history
There are already a bunch of the Fury Road DVD extras on UA-cam and one of them covers that exact scene. Look it :)
Vehicle stunts: The entirety of Mad Max: Fury Road
Was about to comment this!
the old movies as well, like road warrior have some good stunts as well
Hell yeah
Like everyone else here I was about to conment that too
I love Fury Road and I’ve been trying to suggest it forever but I’m always late to the vid and I don’t think anyone ever sees it. I hope they do this time, especially for vehicle stunts.
The Rob Roy fight is my all-time favorite. Specifically because of how it ends. My explanation for why Archibald didn’t let go of his rapier is simple: he was too surprised and shocked that Rob would just grab his blade like that. He was an arrogant snob.
I agree. I also think there were several other things incorrect with his analysis of that fight.
The duel was to the death. If he let his rapier go, he would be unarmed.
They were two entirely different fighting styles. Archibald's tactic was about speed and cutting. He could wear the opponent down. Hence why he cut Rob up then stood on the opposite side of the room - Rob was either gonna stand there and pass out or exhaust himself more to come at him. Gave Archie much more power. Also, that comment as to why he blocked that attack while moving well out of the way, it is 1) a guarantee he won't get hit (which is smart considering one hit from Rob probably would end the fight) and 2) always misdirect the blow. It's just sensible.
Rob's fight style was literally the highlander of Scotland. Brute strength. Holding his sword not at en garde? He probably didn't even know what that was. But it does put him in the position for a power blow - his kind of fighting. Also why he wore himself out so quick. Archie wore him down, as said earlier.
Assuming both fighters (specifically Rob Roy) knew everything about fighting is in and of itself a bad assumption. They even say in the movie that Archibald is easily the better fighter. But what did Rob have to lose by not fighting? He was gonna lose his land, his wife had been raped, he likely would've been executed or thrown in the stockades, his clan would have been driven from their land and probably not survived the winter - he had a lot on his shouldera going into the fight. Archie, well, didn't.
Archibald (Tim Roth) was great in that movie, and that is possibly one of the best sword fights ever.
Try to hold a (sharp and narrow) oiled steel blade with a (sweaty, bloodied) hand. A butter knife with butter, for example. By design and intention, the handle gives you a ten to one advantage.
Of course, a fight won by moral superiority alone should be top
