I think one of the reasons this scene is so good is because the lead stuntman directed and choreographed it. When you have the same directing the martial arts for the film who is also DOING most of the martial arts for the film, you get something awesome, because that guy knows what he is and isn't capable of, and can stretch the limits of his own abilities to provide a spectacular action scene.
I have seen this movie 15 times already and It would have been great to include the entire fight sequence. This was done flawlessly and Cyril is a true expert at hand-to -hand. I just watched him in Live Free or Die Hard and he needs more screen time to display his talents. Good job Cyril.
@yothtiger Agreed! I was talking to my friend about how there are few stuntmen out there with the work ethic and vision of the old greats (Jackie, Sammo, etc.), and I'd argue that Cyril is one of them. However, I think that editing really does him a disservice and we need more editors who just hold back on the "cut" tool and cinematographers who just embrace the wide-angle shot when you have talent like belle, raffaelli and jaa around.
This fight scene sux. Whoever director this scene should learn from Jackie Chan. I tell you why. About 15 guys joined the fight and they all come "1 by 1" lol. even worse, there are no exchange fighting. One hit one kill like he's super man.
@Gforce000 I think you are underestimating how incredibly difficult it is to choreograph even a 2v1 fight, much less more than 2. That's why, in most movies, you see enemies filing in one at a time. Jackie Chan's talent for those kinds of scenes is his trademark ability, and you can't honestly expect Cyril to live up to that. The man is REALLY good, don't get me wrong, but he isn't as yet that good.
cyril is raw just like he was is kiss of the gragon love that movie
