The whole point of stunt fighting is to make fake fighting look real. It is dangerous and irresponsible to do real hits in a fake fight. Everyone else did it properly.
You can do real hits while stunt fighting, lots of these modern movies look terrible because you can tell the punch is a foot away.
If you’ve got armor and are meant to take a hit as part of the scene instead of a miss, don’t be bitchy when the person hits you like they are supposed to.
It’s irresponsible to not give it your all, because if that what the person is expecting and you don’t do it… injuries happen.
Wrestling is so popular because it’s real stunt fighting, not this “camera magic” bullshit they try to peddle as real, but makes it look fake.
That they do actually hit each other and can’t rely on magic camera shots? So if one of them doesn’t do it correctly or the right way they both are in physical danger? They still connect when the stomp their foot for punch effect, they person absorbs it and plays along. Its not “fake” but it is.
Because if not, you are the one that needs the news……
Do people seriously think every scene is magic camera angles? Stunt people know how to take blows and absorb them, it’s because it’s required for realism in some movies. Not every movie can get away with cheap camera tricks that are painfully obvious and break immersion.
Too busy trying to look cool surfing down stairs cases on shields while Gimli kept putting in serious work with the axe
Literally, the stunt people hated the actor because he really hit them full force every time they were filming.
Lol @ “the actor”
They were mad he was fulfilling the role?
Would look hella weird if Legolas just flopped into it.
Not Legolas, Gimli (John Rhys-Davies). He is also a racist who probably voted Leave.
Point still stands, a dwarf not swinging with all his might wouldn’t make a very good scene at all. Would look like they were catching butterflies.
Extras were mad over someone putting their all into their role. Weird take to be honest.

I have bad and somehow shocking news for you.
