Generic "Spy kids" fold up plane/submarine and a car (non CGI probably) that easily drives over a two foot stone (with no natural ramp visible just seconds before)
The motorcycle jump is probably real but has been milked to death already.
And again the 90 pound martial arts woman...
Does not bode well.
I like the plane/submarine. It's obviously a call back to 1977's 'The Spy Who Loved Me.'
shareOf course but they were practical effects back then and looked a million times better than the cookie cutter computer effects they used in the new Bond. Might as well watch Transformers. Bond is dead I think it will flop.
shareDo you think the film will flop financially or critically? Or both?
shareI made a thread a long time ago saying that the 90 pound martial arts woman would end up being more hated than "black woman Bond" Lashana, and I still believe it.
The new trailer confirmed that there is even more of the 90 pound martial arts woman doing fake martial arts than we originally thought.
Always gotta have a 90 pound martial arts woman with mean face look and swoosh hair administering a beatdown on multiple 220 pound heavy muscled extra guys
shareI don't care how hard you kick, you're just gonna bounce off the guy. I'm sure it would hurt a little. That's it.
sharei imagine 'bruce lee' gets brought up quite alot in any writers/directors rooms when discussing the realism of a 90 pound martial arts woman taking down the usual 6ft+ 220 pound meathead henchmen, - 'wasnt bruce lee a little guy right.. and he was always kicking the big guys asses.. so its like that'
shareBruce would stand there and apply martial arts like beating up that wooden pole with the arms on it (wing chun?). When he did kick a guy down, he was spin kicking the side of his head in. There's scenes of Bruce doing flying kicks into a burly chest and just bouncing away like a rag doll. It all comes down to physics, planting your feet, low center of gravity and using your body like a fulcrum. That crap don't look good on camera. It's not acrobatic or pretty at all.
I'm sure we'll see a couple of them dumb girl fight movie moves where she leaps into the air, locks her legs around the guy's neck, does a twist and sends him flying 30 feet through a wall. That's gotta be the stupidest of the lot.
LOL...it seems like in every cop show, action movie, etc...every single female is a martial arts EXPERT...and can throw multiple men around like rag dolls (without every getting punched themselves). Not that I want to see this....but if you truly want equal time with the action hero shit, but also want a hint of realism...the woman would get knocked out cold 9 fights out of 10...martial arts or not. However, a woman has not lost a fight on TV or in movies in 5 years, LOL. I get it, producers and writers want their daughters to see that they are equal in every way to men. But they canโt swing the pendulum that far the other way...and that quickly. Itโs absurd.
shareSometimes it works, sometimes it does not. Harley Quinn in cartoons was fun when she swings ridiculously large wooden hammer into her enemies, but her action scenes looked terrible in the live action movie.
Bruce Lee looked good in his movies. I doubt that he could actually beat Chuck Norris in real life, but in his movies it looked real good. Also in most of Jackie Chan and Jet Li's movies. They look natural even when fighting way larger foes. Jet Li once said he wouldn't last 1 minute againts a real MMA fighter in an interview of Craddle 2 the Grave.
But there is something not right in some movies, like Atomic Blonde and the new Charlie's Angels. The action doesn't look good. I'm still not sure what make them that way. Even Xena Warrior Princess looked good and that's with 90s TV budget.
Black Widow in Avengers movies looked good. Uma Thurman in Kill Bill movies looked good. But Donnie Yen vs Scott Adkins in Ip Man 4 looked fake. The final fight between Max Zhang and Dave Bautista in Master Z looked like a joke!
Probably choregraphy I guess but I'm not sure. Something about it is somewhat off in some movies but just right in others.
YOU ARE ABSURD.
shareIt's all fake martial arts. The only real martial arts that a woman could realistically use to defend herself against an untrained attacker are Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu which unfortunately do not look exciting on a movie screen. Even in that case, those martial arts would merely provide survival opportunities, not kicking ass like this bitch is.
shareAnd speaking of fake martial arts, Daniel Craig is the worst offender in the movie industry for this. He would get dropped on his back and have his face smashed in if he tried fighting someone like that for real.
sharePffft. Take it all with a grain of salt. Bond films never are realistic. The early Bond films had a fire-breathing โdragon,โ a hat that could cut marble statues, a jet pack, voodoo, laser battles in space, etc. But I get what youโre getting at.
My favorite Bond films are the more grounded ones, like From Russia with Love or OHMSS or For Your Eyes Only. The Craig films are mostly rubbish.
