Weapons Masters Rate 85 Fight Scenes in Movies and TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

"The trick is to try and no longer be holding the string" is the most beautiful description I've heard! 🤩

I like the fact that Brave got a ten for realism. It's an animated kids movie and still they did the effort to make the shooting as real as possible.

Will never forget one of these expert’s words about Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games: “She is responsible for getting more young girls interested in archery than any other actress.”

In the Mando's defense, he wasn't trained in fighting with a spear, he's just instinctively trying not to die.....

Had a friend before I went into the Army that was a champion with chucks. His flourishes were amazing and he entertained a lot of our parties. I asked how all that worked in a fight. He said, "It doesn't. I just walk up and WHACK!" 😂

23:04 - Cavil gets an 8, show gets a 4. Sounds about right

saying archery is not about letting go but rather to no longer hold the string is brilliant

It's fully amazing how Army of Darkness, the movie set in the deserts of europe about a time traveling book and the worlds biggest chin, managed to get a ten. The other movies should be ashamed that this was one of the most realistic depictions out of them. Theres a damn car in it, I doubt this was aiming for extreme realism.

I love Jinichi's boiled down description of ninjutsu. A special forces trained soldier, who specializes in espionage. That description perfectly describes the essence of the art for an American mind.

"The parody of fencing is better then the others" Nice.

Love how you mentioned the double arm guard too 😂 I accept Hawkeyes skill with a bow as a superpower. He was trained by clowns and hes that good. He has powers

Narnia scene, expert says that the way Peter holds his sword makes it seem like he's never held a sword in his life. Seems like he didn't watch the movie because at this point, Peter is still new to even holding a weapon, so it would make sense for him to not know how to use it.

Few members of my archery team went to Brave. And that sigh of satisfaction at the release was audible. What a beautiful scene.

This is such a interesting video, I didn't expect to be sitting here still a hour in lol.

1:53:40 "I drive a chariot..." OF COURSE YOU DO.

I LOVE the third guy. He's so knowledgeable about such a huge range of history and styles and techniques, and he also understands the art of storytelling, and that to tell a story sometimes you fudge details together to make a narrative work, like sauron with the huge mace that doesn't exist and only peasants would use anyway. I love that he knew the mechanics of the first diving gears, that they were made using the armorer, and like he knew that most chain mail used in the film industry has been big-loop woven textile straypainted silver. I could listen to him for hours.

The lady at the end was probably the worst one to listen to without wanting to turn the video off, The rest of the experts did amazing and insight and fun and knowledgeable about the movies and scenes and history.

Achilles destroying Hector shield is pretty much real if you put the context that Achilles is A Demi God with a extraordinary Strength

1:30:33 Brad Pit is actually struck in the face here by his opponent. You can see the rubber spear blade flex as it catches him in the face. So Pit's head whipping back like that is not just choreographing. That is a genuine reaction to be whipped in the face with a piece of rubber. That had to hurt insanely bad!

Legolas is an Elf. He doesn't need a light draw weight to shoot that rapidly.
