What is your favorite martial arts scene?

[AKIron]

I thought the Bourne movies had pretty good fight scenes.

Oh man, that is hilarious! You know Jackie Chan was always my favorite growing up. It wasn't till later when I found some.of his classics 


Some insane training in this one.

I like the one where Indie Jones just cuts out the middle man and shoots the guy.

Yeah.  And that wasn't in the script.  He improved that.  Savage.

Anyone know why the Youtube video link button doesn't work for me?  I tried it 3 different ways including trying to put in code manually.  I click the button, paste the link in between the 2 html "youtube /youtube" like has been done since time immemorial, and it always shows a blank white box where the video preview should be.  I tried finding a solution on Simple Machines forums but no go.  CptTrips, you posted the vid I was trying to - double you tee eff am I doing incorrectly?

You don't put the url in. You put the share link in.

When I post a YouTube link with my iPad there is always one space between [youtube] and the url. Make sure you remove that space. It does not do that when I post with a pc. It might be a glitch in my Safari browser. Good luck.

I gave up. Shouldn’t be that confusing, but it is.

Yup. As soon as they started using animated motor and cables,… killed any scene for me. 90% of movie martial art fights are filming tricks, going all the way back to Kung Foo. They are done in slow moves and sped up via film rate.

I have been turned off by what I’ve seen, I can’t remember last time I watched any movie, I stick to documentaries where I can’t detect bad scripts, bad acting, bad directing and trade tricks.

I’m hard to please, ruined.

^ Pretty much sharing the opinion. I started as a kid with judo. Then changed to taekwondo. From kwondo to savate and last years in active service did MMA. That base gives some kind of understanding, what is possible and what is not and those guys flying hundred yards in the air rotating around while delivering kicks and punches around make me feel ashamed on behalf of those who made the movie.
