the only question is, why didn't anyone think of it sooner

neat

DO IT

want to see that

I would pay to see that

Oh my god I would watch that again and again and never stop

The idea of having a movie-long fight scene is truly awesome, though I'm thinking there already is some movie like it.

Run directed by John McTiernan is supposed to have a 45-minute car chase - so that's close.

No its not, its truly boring. I have seen VERY long fight scenes that get boring after a while.

mexican gang wars don't count.

The fight scene in They Live is ****ing brilliant and if you disagree I am gonna report your post and request a ban.

Haven't seen the movie so I am neutral on the subject.

Tom Yum Goong had like a 15-20 minute continuous-shot fight-scene. That shot was full of amazing.

Fix'd.

None of the people I saw it with noticed that it was all one shot.

That was some great camera work too.

Wow, I was way off, it's only over 6 minutes. But it's still amazing.

90 minute long fight scene? No thanks. I've already seen the matrix sequels.

No, see what made the matrix sequels boring was that they were trying to have plot alongside the fight scenes but failed. When you go for true long action you will get glory.

Umm... no.

The matrix reloaded had AWESOME fight scenes, that I still enjoy even to today:
The French Man's house
and the freeway car chase are AWESOME

The matrix Revolutions:
Battle for Zion in the Docks
Neo v.s. Smith

AWESOMENESS

Matrix I
had good fights too:
Morpheus v.s. Neo
The whole gun fight scene in the building
Neo v.s. Smith

Now lets look at some other movies:

Rambo 1-3:

I like these movies, but, I only enjoy certain moments, the rest are just meh. Why? Because they are just pointless silly action with no real plot or story. A fight becomes A Lot more interesting with a story, even its a weak story. For example: Blade I and parts of Blade II (Blade III was cool but it wasn't that good).

Adding a story to a fight, makes a WHOLE lot of difference.

Another example of story based fights/battles:

The Last Samurai:
I love EVERY fight in this movie, why, because you feel emotion, the need for them, the idealism, etc, they involve you a lot more than people fighting just to fight.

yes but you missed the point.

see.

he's saying those are the only good parts.

and he's right.

River Tam FTW. I'd definitely watch it.

Neo vs Smiths was lame. It was just Neo swinging a stick around hitting people in directions that - even after you suspend belief - don't make sense.

Jon agrees with me. That means I'm right.

Chuck Norris... Delta Force

Rambo 1, actually First Blood, is far from a mindless action film.

This man is right.

Also, the Matrix sequels are brillant and misunderstood.

I want this movie now.

More like 4 minutes, but still awesome.

Oldboy has also a great unedited fight scene. Very Strong Language!

Aww, they left out the dot-dot-dot-dot hammer scene.

Especially the freaking bowling alley sound effects when Neo hit one Smith into the rest of them.



And you've got to respect the amount of work that went into that single shot but it was kinda boring.

I've yet to see anything besides Ong Bak, but Tony Jaa looked to be more awesome fight then anything else.

jumping on the bandwagon thats calling gold a moron for pigeonholing First Blood in with its two sequels.

Exactly.

INVASION U.S.A.

saw this on the bus on the way home from toronto.

and we had only one headphone jack so i followed the plot from the subtitles. already alot more bearable

This thread and the subject of the original post are both dumb.

I was gone in Germany for a month but if my memory serves me, that is not the movie where Neo goes after all the Smiths with a stick but the 'final showdown' between the original and Neo. *shrugs*

I couldn't watch a 90min action only movie unless it flowed with some story, and at least more than one camera!!!
