  Yeah but it’s fun anyway, because Bob Odenkirk is awesome.

  Skill + strength. It’s not always about how hard you hit someone but where and how.

    As the old boxers say, timing beats speed. Precision beats power.

  I like the one in Secondhand Lions. Similar theme. Perhaps more believable.

    Ohh, young Haley Joel Osment and Robert Duvall. I don’t know how I missed this movie! As in, I didn’t see it when it came out. Might be worth a watch later today.

  So is pretty much every movie, mate. The point is to make it believable as you possibly can, without tipping over into farce. You can believe that an experienced fighter can beat an inexperienced one. Thats not an issue. The issue, for me anyway, usually comes when they take a hit. Thats usually when I start blowing big watery farts at the screen. See also small women beating up massive built dudes. Like The Woman King, seeing 50something Viola Davis taking haymakers from 25 year old heavy weight like they are nothing. Each punch enough to knock just about anyone on the planet out cold.

  John Wick is another one. The gun play and stuff is fun, but as a tactical exercise, John Wick regularly gives up good cover for more sensational action shots that should have gotten him killed a million times over. The trick is making it fun. If you can do that, the audience forgives any bullshit. If you cant make it fun, the audience will nitpick it to fuck.

    Yeah I feel like movies in general wayyyyy downplay how bad taking a full force bare-knuckle punch right to the chin is. Irl you’re very likely getting knocked out and also whoever threw the punch has a good chance of breaking their hand.
