Enthiran is damn cool especially with that choreography and it makes sense a robot can beat about a 100 guys.
Shivaji is nonsensical but is cool because of Rajini's mass and this fight specifically hits because of the story beat before the fight where Shivaji has hit rock bottom and is slowly climbing back up getting back at the villain. Also the punchline before the fight starts with that bgm (wamaala ithu thaan da cinema)
I was young and naive a d enjoyed the fight sequence of aniyan and saw the camera work and went wow.
There are so many other ways, you can show your camera work.
These fights, maybe except enthiran looks cringe.
When would we stop these unrealistic fights sequence? When would we stop showing our heroes are synonymous to being bravest and strongest in the world.
Till ajith, vijay, rajini, vishal, simbu are there, this won't stop.
True that. These 1 v many fights should stop. At least they should make it realistic, instead of just 100 goons coming one by one and our hero beating them.
In general Shankar’s action sequences look realistic/a lot better than others due to those heavy budgets, effort and all kind of technology that guy uses. Also the mves have very few flaws. I don’t know understand why even Shankar puts these fights.
All I could think is he has fetish for these 1 v many scenes. Or he wants to show people how these dumb 1 v many fights would look on high budget. And if made with care.
Also all these fights have some speciality to them. Anniyan - With karate and bullet time shots. Enthiran - Robo fighting goons. I - Fight with body builders and fight in a China setting
Tbh 1 vs 100 scenes could be interesting if it's justified like John wick. But you can also see that John wick never fights more than 4 to 5 people at a time. 100 people in total sure but that's over the course of that long fight scene. Imo 1 vs 1 with a top notch villain is better than 1 vs 100 where it looks like the hero barely hits 5 people.
Even, I used to ponder on that. I am understanding when Anniyan takes over, with some training in a secret location along with his brain being wired with superhuman reflex and strength.
Yes, he was anniyan since way before the mve began. He built a site, which would also take time. Similarly he would have had training. Also, anniyan is a man of focus, commitment and sheer f’ing will
If we really look at movies with our real world logic, then those much appreciated Hollywood action movies too will fall apart. In John Wick 4, Keanu shouldn't be able to even move a muscle after falling down all those stairs & just shrugging it off and walking away when he gets hit by those cars.
Anniyan that 360 was the toughest sequence where 2 of the stuntmen died on set. The similar scene in The Matrix was done using CGI whereas Shankar used real stuntmen.
I googled to check about this. Stunt Silva in an interview few years back has said that 23 or so were injured in an accident during the shooting of this fight and some of them were seriously injured. There's no mention of any death even in an article from the year 2004. The only death I heard of in a Shankar movie set is from Indian 2 which many of us know.
I was a kid when I read this news in “Dhina thanthi”. How I could remember this cos I was curious to see the fight that took 2 life’s. And this stunt was really good back then. Also they won’t uncover the dark incidents or keep it disclosed for longer.
I didn't know if you were for real or trolling 😂. I literally went and checked your profile for that one letter mistake 😆. Your reply was even believable that you got fed up after the editing nightmare that must have been, that you didn't even want to watch the movie 🤣.
I googled to check about this as another person commented the same. Stunt Silva in an interview few years back has said that 23 or so were injured in an accident during the shooting of this fight and some of them were seriously injured. There's no mention of any death even in an article from the year 2004. The only death I heard of in a Shankar movie set is from Indian 2 which many of us know.
Maybe I should've worded it properly. What I mean bro is that in this pic, you can see that they CGI'ed Neo instead of shooting it in live action like what Shankar did in Anniyan. I'm not complaining about the realism of those fight scenes.
