@Monkofmagnesia That is actually not true. Most fight scenes look terribly fake, and look even more so if watched with the sound off. In some of the best fight scenes ever filmed (Flashpoint, Friedkin's The Hunted, etc.), the actors are really hitting each other. You should watch the fight at the end of the Rod Taylor movie Darker than Amber. It was a real fight and both actors had broken bones by the time it was finished.
That was interesting learning that physical contact in a fight does not look impressive on film, but not touching anyone looks more convincing.
