  • Damn, she's tight.

  • They didn't even use this scene in the movie. I guess this was just to figure out placements and movements, because Summer Glau did ALL of her own stunts and fight scenes in the movie.

  • Ha them two dudes under the table *seems safe under here*

  • That was an inspiring fight choreography scene! <3

  • Isnt it sweet the stunt girl's named "Bridget" ;)

  • you know, for the average lad, bridget riley's 'maidenhead' can be a bit hard to take.

  • when I'm tempted to despair

    when I think all hope is gone

    type in 'Bridget Riley - Maidenhead'

    and think 'Hell yeah! Let's move on!'

  • The fight reel was better. The film version was too clean...this has a different tone, and a lot more substance as a fight scene.

  • DAMN! that girls good!

  • that was awesome!!!!!

  • Bridget Riley is the bomb! A real professional stuntwoman and a fantastic stuntwoman. She moves likes a she knows what she is doing and could really kick some serious arse...

  • gotta love the people uselessly running around in the background

  • Awesome!

  • While it's a good scene, it doesn't fit in the context of the movie, nor does it work with River. She never even takes a hit.

  • Amazing!

  • Movie one is better. In this everything is going perfect and in her way, which is to unrealistic. She never even takes a punch, in the movie River gets punched, things arn't going perfect, thus more realist and better.

  • It seems like this is sped up just a tad.

  • Damn...I thought she was a guy o.o

  • But this is exactly the same sequence of the scene?

  • This fight scene is more brutal, more gritty in some way than was Summer's. This one is more like a scene from Watchmen. I can see the younger Silk Spectre fighting like this. :)

  • Wow--rehearsal or not, this woman can kick some ass! It' s like "Hit Girl", all grown up! This chick knows what she's doing! :)

  • Is this on the dvd?

  • YES

  • Ok...so the people saying Summer Glau would whoop her ass...Summer Glau's an actress. An athletic dancer, but not a fighter. So unless you actually mean River, then no, this woman, this awesome powerful woman, would totally beat Summer's ass down. Dayum lookit her go.

  • @djAnakin: The choreography may be the same - but this woman looks like she's kickboxing. Summer looks like she's dancing.

    Which, as far as I can tell, is both appropriate and the idea.

    If Summer had tried to simply copy this style, it wouldn't have worked. She's made it her own instead.

  • Wow, she is truly stunning, amazing!! Fabulous fight choreography too.

  • This scene is NOT better than Summer's. Summer could beat that bitch in her sleep.

  • @6235river You really need to do your research on Bridget Riley.

  • @gr8gmr I'm about to pull the "I can have my own opinion, so frak off" card. And research wouldn't be required if she hadn't sucked so much in this video.

  • @6235river Your opinion is invalid if you don't know much about the person, especially if you're just looking at ONE video of them. That's a clear sign of ignorance.

  • @gr8gmr It's my opinion, dude. And she didn't make a big impression on me. So there.

  • @6235river But it's a biased opinion because you refused to know the other side. Like I said, do more research and gain more knowledge on both sides. Maybe then your opinion wouldn't be so flawed.

  • @gr8gmr Well if she doesn't make a good first impression on me, why should I be concerned? It's all about first impressions. And I'm just agreeing with the two highest rated comments. Just sayin.

  • @6235river eta coram na smech. 

    Tell me that worked...?

  • @cinnamonbrandylite Tell you what worked? Why am I surrounded by people who appear to be knocked out?

  • Anyone google her?

    IFBA Bantamweight BOXING WORLD CHAMPION -- 15 wins, 2 losses, 8 knock outs

    5 time KICKBOXING WORLD CHAMPION --(3 separate weight divisions) 26 wins, 2 losses, 14 knock outs

    Black Belt Magazine 1998 Hall of Fame Induction -- "Woman of the Year"

    ...dang!

  • oh my god,this is tony jaa's styles

    very good video

  • I want to see the movie "Briget Riley Destroys Everyone."

  • Meh Summer would whoop her ass!

  • er I don't think that that's really a girl.  looks like a guy in drag, and moves like a guy.

  • just my two cents but i definitely prefer this version. i wasn't aware of this clip or this rehearsal scene so a big thanks to you for posting it. this gal really knows how to move and it's far more convincing than summer's version. thanks again!

  • What is the name of this song?

  • @BISHOP9917711 song is gay

  • i like this version, but still like the movie version. I'm confused though because it seems that some moves in this video weren't in the movie. Was this altered from the movie?

  • @AngelWingsVIII I think it'd be more accurate to say that the movie was altered from this. A video like this (I would guess) comes early in the production process to help the stunt team and the fight coordinator conceptualize a fight scene. Things are bound to change between rehearsal and training, between training and shooting, and between shooting and editing.

  • LOL 

  • Pretty sure they changed the scene because Summer Glau couldn't physically do half of this stuff. I'm content with the movie version though, even if I would have loved to see this.

  • @Spunky48

    She's a ballerina IRL, of course she could do all this stuff. Maybe even better than the stunt people themselves. I think they just changed the style they wanted.

  • @Spunky48 Of course. Summer is a ballet dancer, not a ripped amazonian. Still she did better than any other Hollywood actors/actresses did/would do. And she did most of the scene without stunt double.

  • Very nice, but I'm going to go with the River version for now.

  • Well, I want to have sex with Bridget Riley now.

  • Wow this is like watching 'Madness Combat' on newgrounds except this is real!

  • Wow that was like "AWESOME"!!!

  • Hmmm, the guy tries to hit her with a plastic bottle of water, and glass shatters?????

  • @kbinco - just remember - ye cannot change the laws of physics.

    Unless you're Joss Whedon.  Then it's cool.

    ;-)

  • Awesome moves, but since this is for a story, the Summer Glau version is better....more believable, since she isn't a technical soldier by trade. There's more awe to the moves when it's done like a dance by a girl who LOOKS like she couldn't lift a carjack. :)

  • As tightly coreographed as any dance, ever. Both this version and the one with Summer/River.

  • Wow, I love that chick :D

  • Great fighter, cool scene - but it wouldn't work for River. River is a lithe, ethereal girl who was a talented dancer before they put theoretical fighting skills and a killer instinct in her head - which is why her "ballet-like" fightingstyle both makes sense and is esthetically pleasing.

    Summer Glau does the best "dancer fakes fighting" I've seen, most of the time actors/dancers are pretty useless at this. :)

  • @GreyMinerva Sorry, but this looks dead on to the actual fight scene. So, it does work for River.

  • that woman has got some moves!! good work!

  • How cool is this? Wow!!

  • acting

  • thats COOL

  • The woman doing this rehersal is Bridget baby doll riley , she is a championship level professional fighter and former world champion in her class. and a very acomplished stunt woman.

  • i have to say that the fighting was cool but i dont think that this can be compared to serenity. also at the same time, the editing was bad, just to do a cut then have something there that wasnt in the shot before had bothered me i know it was needed but it bothered me a lot

  • I disagree, Summer's is more fluid and her balance and flexibility make everything seem effortless. That's what I would expect, not so much of the "trying to overpower everything" look.

  • Go SImon's Mum - kick ass!

  • please dont teach this..

    this is a lie..

    because all this is reduced to dust

    YOU ARE TRUSH!

    HYPOCRITES!!

    YOU ARE THE LIE...

     WILL BE REDUCED TO DUST ..

    AND WILL BE READY TO BURN IN THE FIRE BEFORE YOU ALL THESE TIMES ..

  • @castle010ify i am not trush how dare you sir lol

  • Five words repeated flash through my head: "River Tam beats up everybody."

  • The fight scene for this really is more gritty than the Serenity movie. Summer's fights are more like that dance (which makes sense since she is a dancer) and her impact was visibly softer. This lady's punches and kicks have a bite to them.

  • wow! its amazing seeing these things being rehearsed ^^.

  • summer glau stunt its the best

  • summer glau its super sexy and kicking ass

  • I'm sorry but I cant watch this woman NO WHERE NEAR AS BEAUTIFUL AS SUMMER

  • loooool i love this just wish to be one of those stuntmen!!

  • holy cow. bridget riley is my favorite thing today.

  • summer glau is trained in combat

  • @ande320 that she is

  • summer glau fights better

  • @ande320 exactly

  • Suddenly the fight scene in the film seems so slowly paced...

  • She is soo sexy!

  • Superb work by the stunt team, and great camera work. wow gotta be one of the best jobs out if you can keep the gigs comin in.

  • Bridget Riley kicks freakin ass!

  • See cartoon from serenity: watch?v=He_1GGFcdR0

  • I love how Simon is played by a black dude in a baseball cap...

  • @AlienCollective - yeah, the series could have been so different if Sean Maher had ducked out three episodes in, and been replaced by this guy. I mean - that could really have ended it after only, hey, one series...

  • Wow! Watch the Amazon go!

  • Serenity comes from MANY push-ups, 1,2,3,4 I love the Marine Corp....or from push up bras.............hahahha yes Serenity does have it many forms!

  • Excellent !!!!!!......

  • is this on the DVD? not on the one i have anyway.

  • She is not anywhere as good looking as Summer Glau.

  • @teamdougherty agreed

  • i get that this is more convincing that she could actually beat up all these people, but part of the whole River thing is that she is graceful and so much more powerful than she would ever look--in mind and body.

    this is a good fight scene, but the movie scene wasnt just showing a bar fight. in any case, this looks totally awesome

  • lol what world you living in?

    It's simple physics this stunt actor is a stronger person than river tam.

    clearly your infatuation with summer is to blame for this.

  • i just meant that OBVIOUSLY summer could never be as strong as the stunt person (btw, no infatuation for summer here). but the point is that its a character in a movie and you have to buy into the "movie magic" of it or whatever. and the magic is that she shouldn't have the strength, but beats them up anyway. also, i never said river was stronger than the stunt actor.

  • You seriously think this stunt woman would be stronger than a genius kid whos brain has been tampered with to be an ultimate weapon? If you said Summer Glau i'd agree ofcourse.

  • @darkknightbob101 SO WHAT THIS GIRL UGLY SUMMER'S HOT. HONESTLY I'D TELL HER THAT

  • Man, they totally fucked up this scene in the movie.

    The rehearsal was animal. Bridget is so much faster and more convincing in her movements than Summer. She actually looks like she could tear through a crowd of people, while Summer is just a skinny model with flexible legs.

    The camera angles were perfect in this version too, but then they went and messed them up. If I were the choreographer, I'd be outraged.

  • flexible and strong go together. If you think differently, you're badly trained and badly educated.

    h.

  • I'm a trained contemporary dancer with experience in gymnastics, so I figure I know a little something. You don't have to be strong to be flexible. Summer is a ballet dancer so obviously she is strong, but her physique is no where near as convincing in the role of a hard wired fighting machine, as Bridget's.

  • @Sambucca yeah but which wuld you rather see?

  • @Sambucca UM SUMMER GLAU IS WAY BETTER THAN LOOKING ANDCAN ACT WAY BETTER THAN THIS DOG

  • This is badass....but what is this for?

  • Practice for the barfight scene in Serenity...

  • Yeah but what is Serenity?

  • Serenity is a movie from 2005 based on the series Firefly that ran for one season (barely) in 2002. its like a western that is set 500 years in the future where the "frontier" consists of newly formed and poor planets in space. the main characters make up the crew of a spaceship. its funny and awesome and created by joss whedon who made buffy the vampire slayer and angel and

    ...wait why am i explaining this? you have internet. use it.

    (and i ran out of space haha)

  • Yea you know after i posted this i thought to myself "Someone is gonna rip on me for not using google" lol. Thanks for the info anyway!

  • haha no problem!

  • if you google 'serenity' you'll probably find out more than you need to know about 'serenity now'.

    Don't go there. Google 'browncoat'.

    H.

  • Much better than summer glaus faster,smoother,looks more polished than the film version .

  • @shumble69 MUCH BETTER??? SUMMER GLAU IS THE HOTTEST WOMAN IN THE WORLD THIS UGLY BITH S FUCKING UGLYAS SHIT UMMER GLAU IS WAY FUCKING BETTER

  • This is how all bar fights should happen

  • u go girl!

  • This looks better then the movies fight. I think it's the way it was cut maybe?

  • She still looks nothing like summer glau. I dont like her

  • She's a stunt double, she doesn't have to.

  • trust me, buddy, i can f this bitch

  • @quanarius - post your foreplay. That'll be worth watching...

    h.

  • she is my girl friend and also my boddy gard!! lol

  • Holy crap, that's awesome!

  • pretty cool, chicks look buff

  • OK, does this really have anything to do with Serenity, or are these just other actors re-creating that fight scene??

    Impressive to say the least!!

  • Its a stunt rehearsal for the bar fight in Serenity. As im sure you understand, nailing down that much fighting takes a long time. Summer Glau trained for 3 months before the shooting on the film started in order to do the fight scenes herself.

  • @CSXer - this is the stunt rehearsal - it's where they work out where to put the cameras, where the girl gotta go faster, whether the girl with the big insurance is going to break a nail (or a finger) - all essential stuff.

    h.

  • Does she really hit the Guys, it looks real

  • I think that version was better than the one in the movie. This woman was more crisp in her movements, made everything seem more real. Summer Glau is awesome, but she moves TOO beautifully.

  • I don't think River is physically trained in combat. The Alliance only programmed the skills in her brain, so I don't thinks she's suppose to look like an MMA fighter.

    I do agree that this version is better, but I'm fine with the movie version with Summer =) I love how she makes it look so effortless and ballet-like.

  • @M3devac This is NOT better THIS GIRKL IS UGLY AS FUCK AND SUMMER IS JUST WAY HOTTER

  • @TheBillUlshChannel

    I said the FIGHT SCENE is better because it's longer and wasn't edited too much.

    I didn't say the woman is better than Summer Glau =)

  • @M3devac Well Summer was a ballerina before she ever acted, all the stunts she did, she did on her own. Like in the scene where she was escaping in the very begginging and she was hidden on the ceiling, she did that in her own.

  • @Makai1191 she moves to beautifully cause she is a dancer, i had just watched the video on it and because she is flexible and dances it is easier for her to do it

  • @Makai1191 The point is to move beautifully. Fighting was more or less natural to River, because she wasn't trained in any way. What comes naturally, usually comes gracefully also. So it's supposed to appear like she's using ballet to kick someone's ass. The stunt woman's moves ARE crisp which defeats the whole purpose of River's fight scene. They even said in the behind the scenes video that the purpose was to appear graceful. :|

  • Jesus christ, if anyone ever dates this woman, do NOT make her mad!!!

  • She can beat me up anyday.

  • When I'm tempted to despair

    When I think all hope is gone

    I type in 'Bridget Riley Maidenhead'

    And think 'Hell, yeah - let's move on!'

    Helen

  • Shiney!

    You guys always bring me the best violence ^.^

    xxxxxxxx

  • This is so awesome. I love watching how fighting scenes are made. A lot of times they are better than the movie version because they have less crazy editing.

  • Bridget "Baby Doll" Riley is a legendary boxing and kickboxing world champion. Her real bouts are among the best women matches. Her fight against Aicha Lahsen was one of the most dramatic fights that I have seen. It was chosen as women's boxing fight of the year for 1998. She is one of the best women fighters in the history. I suggest to be attend to her new movie "BareKnuckless"; starring Jeanette Roxborough, Bridgett is her main opponente in this great martial arts film

  • jesus christ i would not like to be near her when she feels the need to practice martial arts

  • wire foo

  • Eta Kooram Nah Smech!

  • thatsamiam, spoilsport! killjoy! wet blanket! there was the girl, just getting her happy on, and you had to go and put your big foot in it...

    H.

  • That was VERY impressive!

  • That was awesome.

  • wow, that was a hell of a rehersal, so summer did none of the fighting? was it all cutaways to her face, mining the moves, or what? either way a great scene i wish they coul;d have kept the cut parts in the guys comming down the stairs trying to attack her, one get getting his knife in this hand, and getting the gun from that other guy... the two under the tables...

  • Summer Glau WuShu training just search that on youtube and you'll see summer did her on stunts and besides this is different from the Summer's fight ... wonder y they didn't make it exact same

     better then summer... fighting wise

  • this would have been an awesome fight scene if they kept everything as is... oh well... thanks for the reply...

  • The thing is, you also have to get reactions in, from Mal & Jayne apart from all else. It's an awesome fight scene, but the plot has to be more important than it, or it's a kind of pointless, awesome fight scene.

    h.

  • veeery good

  • The best male or female fight scene I've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If only the stunt woman didn't look like a bloke.

  • listen to yorself fall down stairs onto a fat little me
  • by the way, skippy82? you have your very own fan club now. Welcome to the world...

    Helen

  • 1:30 awesome move!

  • Fedor Emelianenko

    The Greatest Fighter to have Ever Lived 2.0 (Fedor / Фëдор)

  • I just can't stop watching this, and it makes my day when I do!! Just incredible!

  • that stunt women looks a lot like a guy if most of these scenes.

  • Hmm that stuntwoman is very good but summer glau was better technically, summer's actions has a much more natural flow than her's

  • I thought they flowed too much. There was no snap to any of the punches.

  • maybe because deep down inside she was fighting the programming that made her go berserk, and was controlling the power of the attacks... who knows...

  • insan olun azcık insan. :D

  • Absolutely fantastic!!!!

  • it's Tifa!

  • LOL that's what I thought too!

  • 1:40 to 1:50 makes me very happy in my pants.

  • That was so sick.

  • summer fighting is an art its that good

  • Summers is far better!

  • COMPLETELY AGREE SUMMER IS FAR BETTER

  • This is the reason I stopped going to bars.

  • i dont sure to de fight is a girl.sorry mi inglish

  • DAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!! awesome!!!

  • She's good, but it's the reactions of the other stuntguys getting beat up that make it look so good.

  • Like the bit where the guy runs past her, she turns, grabs by the scruff of the neck and slams into the floor. Not entirely sure how they do it (wires?) but the speed and impact make it look insane.

  • Yea, hella lot of wirework :P

    But thats what makes it AWESOME.

    Loved the other stuntmen's expressions when they get beat down :P

  • She's pretty good and she's a wicked fighter, but I think that Summer moves a little more gracefully.

    Bridget is more power with a thicker and larger body. Summer is very fluid and ballet-like in her movements, and she's also just a tiny little rip-cord of a girl.

    Both are amazing though.
