How 'bout some live action?



Jackie Chan vs. Benny "The Jet" Urquidez, a champion boxer well known for his speed. This is their first fight during a movie and they would fight again in another movie. From what I heard, Jackie Chan found The Jet super frustrating, since the boxer didn't know how to soften his hits. So all those punches are real. There's also a super cool scene where The Jet kicks at Jackie, he ducks, and the wind from the kick blows out a bunch of candles. That was real. No special effects or anything. This clip is part of my collection since I absolutely love action flicks, and it's also a great reference for action poses. A lot of Jackie Chan's fight scenes are really good examples of how one could incorporate surrounding objects into the scene (like that famous ladder fight).
