To expand on this, undercranking DOES NOT WORK if you as a performer donโt have good timing, rhythm, & shapes. Technically you should only be going 70-80% speed on a take. What matters is what I listed + acting and character motivation. The goal is to not make it look sped up!

The whole opening sequence is genius because yeah on the reveal of it being 1997 LA, youโre wondering โok but how much worse can it get than a Central American Jungle?โ Then after the next 2 minutes, youโre like โOh this is much worse.โ Mfs are living in a Concrete Jungle.

How does this line always fly over peopleโs heads? Itโs very clear that Pa Kent is saying that unconfidently because he doesnโt know how to guide a super kid who โ if found out โ would be robbed of a normal life at such a young age. I donโt understand whatโs so hard to grasp.

ironically one of my favorite Chuck Norris fights wasnโt in Way of the Dragon but in the 2000โs sitcom Yes, Dear where he shadows Jimmy but when Jimmy decides to cut ties because Chuck is just a normal guy, Chuck hilariously gets the opportunity to show his badassery. RIP. OSU!๐ฅ

this shouldโve taken the runtime of the stupid Fortnite bitโฆ โYou killed my Master Damo and now Iโm gonna kill you!โ Michael Jai White using a stereotypical 70โs English Dub accent for his character was such a genius move, makes everything feel that much more Shaw Bros.

Soderberghโs Direction/collaboration with the Fight Team (see below tweet please!) is fuckin masterful! Love the way he keeps everything in a wide or medium close up. Doesnโt even have a score. He lets the fight breathe and tell the story. Also his edits are fuckin cleeean.

Stanley Clarke deserves more credit as he composed iconic soundtracks like Boyz N the Hood, Poetic Justice, Roll Bounce, etc. His ability to implement what we know as Smooth Jazz into a traditional film score was really fckin cool. An underrated legend!

Eastern Condors has this great fight between Sammo and Billy Chow where Sammo keeps the camera as stationary as possible not for any reason other than he already knows how he wants it look in post. He doesnโt need the camera to accentuate the movement. Theyre just going for it ๐๐ฝ

hereโs the thing about quick cuts & fast edits: every cut HAS to be intentional. IMO if youโre cutting quickly just to hide the double or work around an actor that canโt do choreo, you lose the impact/story in your Action. I always point to Pedicab Driver as the opposite of this.
