Joe Taslim was apparently moving so fast in filming, they had to ask him to slow down because the cameras couldn't catch him properly.
Martial artists are like that. Just look at Yayan and Cecep in John Wick 3. They're slowing down terribly for Keanu and because they're not used to holding back, they look very stiff when doing it and even giving the impression of waiting to attack.
The effort to recreate the prop weapons in wood (whether that's something you've made in house or purchased) is just next level stuff. Great video as always guys.
Thank you so much! Shout out to Jason our photographer and prop master for making these himself. We always try our best to bring the best breakdowns so it really makes us smile when you notice our efforts.
@@ScenicFights mad props *wink wink* to Jason! That was a lot of work to re-create subzero sword.
Their Sub-Zero sword was very cool. I thought that it was a Kampilan with a plain handle at first
Y’all BETTER be getting ready to analyze all of Shang Chi’s fight scenes, and I would like to see what you guys think about the meteor hammer’s use as a flexible weapon.
Fans: Cole is a terrible character!
Weapons Expert: I really like that they gave the tonfas to a MMA fighter. This works well with the character.
Me: He's out of line... but he's right. Fair points but it still feels dirty to like Cole, haha.
Haha Chad wasn't too fond of Cole's character too, but Tonfas were appropriate weapons for his character.
He was better in Wu Assassins than in Mortal Kombat and that's a shame
im pretty indifferent
one one hand yeah i dont really appreciate a, comparatively, blank slate character coming in and, downing Goro and, helping down Sub-Zero, 2 of the most iconic characters in the franchise
on the other hand however, i understand the reason why they created the character, a way to introduce both old and new fans alike to this adaptation of the characters, as we, the audience, learn more as he, the character, does
is his inclusion great? not really
does it "ruin the franchise" as some people claim? again, not really
i mean c'mon the franchise survived worse than just a controversial new character
Cole being a terrible character has nothing to do with his fighting style and what weapons he has.
Comment makes no sense.
“I am no longer Bi-Han. I am SUB ZERO”
“Okay, what's the mask for?”
“Covid”
Fear of COVID seems irrational for someone THAT PARTICIPATES IN FIGHTS TO THE DEATH
You guys really invested a lot in this breakdown. A katana, a wooden Sub-Zero sword, a kunai, a rope with a razor, and a pair of custom Cole Young's tonfas. Big investment in this video
We invest a lot of time in making the best breakdown possible. Shout out to our prop master Jason for the weapons. We're happy to hear you enjoyed our production!
To be fair, Hanzo's soul is also a part of the kunai with chain, hence why he has supernatural control over it. It's still an object so it can't just give itself to propel at the enemy, but it can consciously attack specific parts of the body, making it a more lethal weapon.
I thought it was the guard thats on the forearm thats launching it having a contraption on the inside
The way Chad said "fatality..... scorpion wins"......
No doubt he's a pro
Things I noticed/liked/laughed:
1- Dat weapon knowledge;
2- Dat MK lore knowledge;
3- Dem Dragonball socks;
4- "please don't hurt me" when Chad picked up the tonfas;
You guys are great. Loved it as usual!
Logan just thrilled this is a weapon-centric fight and so he gets to be the pitcher this time.
"He wasn't in the game...at all"
I feel your pain. No, let's get into it.
Johnny Cage!!!
I wouldn't be surprised if we see Cole Young in future Mortal Kombat games.
@@ScenicFights I like the actor, but the character he plays is so damn generic. No thanks.
I love how y’all really have gotten more and more into a groove with your banter and breakdowns. I feel like your personalities are shining through more in camera than earlier videos. Love the content and keep it coming yall.
Thanks so much!! The production team is just four people and with each breakdown we just get closer and more comfortable. We plan to do a lot more of these breakdowns so help us grow our channel by simply sharing our videos with your friends and getting them to subscribe too. It really goes a long way for us! As always, let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
@@ScenicFights For sure. I know what it's like making content on a limited scale and y'all are really consistent. Also a cool fight to breakdown could be from the avatar sequel series: Korra. They incorporate a lot of flourishes and moves that would be interesting to have an insight on.
Ah yes the guys is finally coming back
And
They started it with Mortal Kombat
Amazing
Glad to see Chad and I are on the same page about Cole.
You guys combine education and comedy just right. One second ı'm like zoned in and tryna learn some cool things and other second ı try to not laugh cuz ıts midnight. Watching your videos always put a smile on my face and makes my day better.
Haha glad you feel that way watching our fight scene breakdowns. We just want people to have fun while learning about martial arts!
I don’t know how you guys manage to be so informative even when breaking down fights between fire-breathing, ice-clone-making ninjas, but it’s seriously impressive. Keep up the awesome work!
If I can add to your pile of requests, Revenger is a weird movie with a variety of action sequences (group fights, sword fights, bow-and-arrow fights, etc), so there’s a lot to choose from!
Thank you for the awesome comment! Most fight scenes have some sense of realism to them, even fantasy ones, so we try to focus on what is true enough to discuss. And yes, Revenger is an awesome film! Bruce Khan is amazing and I hope we get a sequel.
Second also this channel is really great they reply and heart people comments and do the suggestions and its just awesome keep it up
Also these guys very skilled with their knife skills and fighting skills its amazing
The quality of SF's content is 11/10. Discovered yesterday and binged all of your stufd already! Keep up guys yall are amazing
Awesome! Thank you so much for the support. Please, let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next. You can also reach out to me and the team on our Discord here: discord.gg/zJg5pws
I absolutely adore this guy’s chemistry
Thank you! As always, feel free to share our video with your friends and get them to subscribe and share. Are there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
How about a “BatVSup’s warehouse” breakdown video? Pls, it has close combat and a little bit knife-fighting
I love chad reaction to cole not being in the game
Probably the only youtube channel i always like the videos before i even watch them because i know I'll love it
I can’t wait for you guys to break down the blade work in DUNE!
Wow, I really enjoyed watching you guys breakdown this fight scene, and I am glad that you guys are back
Thank you so much for the comment and support! We are glad to be back too. Make sure to share this video with your friends and community so we can make even more breakdowns.
Japanese Katanas weren't widely used dual wielded as stated but there is a style: Niten Ichi-ryū created by Miyamoto Musashi a Sword saint and Philosopher, I am very interested in the origin of the Kali dual wield style and how it aligns to the tale of Musashi
I recommend doing a fight breakdown of the Chris final fight from the animated film Resident Evil Vendetta. its visually amazing and looks to be well choreographed.
With the upcoming Matrix movie, would love you guys to cover The Matrix Neo vs Agent Smith fights
Good luck with Paxibellum Martial Arts! I hope one day I can visit you guys in New York.
Welcome back !!! Well in Chad's defense, you give any beginner a sword they would definitely cut themselves out of sheer excitement. And hey a flexible weapon might not be the most efficient weapon, but they're fun as hell to watch, like castlevania or Jackie Chan in Shanghai Noon.
Anyways you guys make nothing but top tier content, so the wait is always worth it, keep it up and hope to see you in more comment sections hehe (btw our favourite girl group has a comeback in October, see you there)
It's funny, I was playing Rondo of Blood right now. I love Castlevania, and of course, the Netflix adaptation is amazing. With that being said, yes they are super cool, but it's not the most efficient weapon. (see you in October).
@@ScenicFights Speaking of Rondo of Blood. There's going to be a Castlevania sequel anime coming to Netflix adapting Rondo of Blood focusing on Richter, and Maria's adventures during the French Revolution, and in the canon of the Castlevania games Richter was known as the martial-arts master of the Belmont family.
@@derrickhaggard I know! I cannot wait for it come out. It's not going to have the Writer or Producer so I'm a bit cautious.
Ah yes, I remember that scene from Shanghai Noon. Where Jackie Chan wraps the horseshoe on a rope around himself, then uncoils it and whips it at each enemy. So cool.
One cool thing about the katana being used with a shorter weapon is that its an actual style of swordsmanship by one of the most famous samurai ever, Miyamoto Musashi. His self-created style niten-ichi-ryu actually uses a katana and shorter blade together
Thank you so much for this comment! I highly recommend anyone to look more into Miyamoto Musashi and Niten Ichi-ryū
Man I truly hope one day they do
Kenichi or
Hajima no ippo
Just cant wait
Love this surprise upload 🙏🏽
Great review. Keep it up guys.. neeeeeed more breakdowns
Scorpion’s reverse grip is reminiscent of Zaoichi, can’t wait for that breakdown!
I agree with the reverse grip not being a good attack. But the Man from Nowhere, used a reverse grip to slash the muscle tendon under the arm pit of a guy. I think he used a couple reverse grips in that fight in A Man from Nowhere
The rules are a bit different between a knife and a katana when it comes to reverse grips due to the length of each weapon.
You don't wanna reverse grip a really long weapon, you're sacrificing a lot of reach.
With a knife, it's kind of okay, because you're still gonna be fighting in close range/arms length either way.
Alucard vs. Trevor in Castlevania would be a sick breakdown for flexible/rigid weapons fighting!
Let's gooooo I just hope ohma vs Raian is gonna be a topic for the future
5:52 actually there is a japanese swordstyle that uses katana along with shorter blades on the other hand, it's called niten ich ryuu, originated from a Japanese duelist during early 1600s of japan.
Katana and Wakizashi, or Ninjato and Tanto. Used very often in Ninjutsu training and even for Samurai battlefield use. It does take quite a bit of time and practice to become fluid with it, because of the weight of the katana, but certainly a valid use of long and short weapons within that character's real world history.
This is a great point! Our sound mixer Rob brought this to our attention after the shoot, we should have consulted him prior. He's a Japanese martial arts expert.
Very nice. Can't wait for the next one. =)
It's been a long time, so good to see something again and specially seeing this from the Mortal Kombat movie. Really cool
Thanks for the video and the sacrifices you both make to create these videos.
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for constantly supporting our channel by engaging. Let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Absolutely love y’all’s videos. Makes me smile every time
Absolutely love this comment! It makes me smile every time you engage. Honestly, thank you so much for the support. It goes a long way. Are there any other fight scenes you'd like to see us breakdown next?
Good fight scene breakdown 👍🏻I had a feeling you were going to do Mortal Kombat and this scene
Well done guys, great videos.
Props were sick. Really impressed with the production here!
Shout out to our prop master Jason also known as The Ninja. He did a fantastic job creating the wooden props for Cole Young's Tonfas and Sub-Zero's sword!
Missed you guys so much n can't wait for more videos!
Missed you too! Let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next Ty!
Hell yeah. Been waiting for a new vid from you guys. Best way to start my morning
Thank you! I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed making this breakdown. Make sure to share it with your friends and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
I miss this content :D
You guys did a great job!
Glad you enjoyed it! Make sure to hit that notification bell because we have more breakdowns coming to you.
Man, I simply LOVE THOSE VIDEOS! I mean, everything is perfect, I can even have the words to it
Thanks Carlos! This means a lot to us. If you haven't yet, make sure to share with your friends and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Been watching your channel for over a year, and the content has held up really well with your chemistry. Your breadth of expertise is refreshing, and it reminds me that I have to get back into kali and bjj training again. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate that! We opened a gym with both Kali and BJJ in New York City! Come visit us at Paxibellum.com
Quality ass content right here man! Keep it up guys, yall finna reach a million in no time if yall continue banging out these amazing fight breakdowns! Greetings from Luxembourg🤘🏼🇱🇺
Luxembourg is awesome! Thanks for the representation. Are there any other fight scenes you'd like to see us breakdown next?
This guys are a true comedic duo. Perfect job as always.
Thanks Franco! Let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Another great video, keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to what y'all do next
Thank you! We cant wait release the next video so make sure you have your notification bell on so you know when you it's public!
Alright that was fun XD those little comedic jab were good. Nice seeing you guys again!
Haha nice to see you too! We always like to throw in comedic bits when we are doing this breakdowns. Are there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
@@ScenicFights i can name a few but the more i think about them the more it feels like more spectacle than technical so i don't see much to breakdown but then again i m not the expert so yeah xD
I love every single video you make. And i’d love a Gangs of London scenic fights episode. Keep it up guys. Congrats
Thank you so much! We really appreciate the constant support. What is your favorite fight scene from Gangs of London?
nice breakdown and nice shirts!
Hell yeah!!! I’ve been waiting for a new upload !!
Hope you enjoyed it! We had a fun time making this Mortal Kombat breakdown.
@@ScenicFights 💯 enjoyed it, you guys make great content, super responsive to the fan base also I like the attention to detail this episode with the weapons you guys used, emulating the videos you watched
Great work all around
Missed you guys and your amazing breakdowns! Loved the use of lookalike props as well.
Glad you liked the props! We couldn't find something as similar as Cole's Tonfas and Sub-Zero's Ice Sword so our prop master made something similar and it came out fantastic!
You guys are the best! Love the new video!
Thank you Maddy for the constant support! Feel free to share with your friends and get them to subscribe too.
This is great! Love the content and as a martial artist myself i find this entertaining and accurate! Keep em comin
Thank you! Make sure to share with your friends and let us know which fight scene we should breakdown next!
Loved this scene and loved the breakdown....
Thank you! Make sure to subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
The boys are back ! Lets go !!
really love your stuff! Keep it up guys!
Thank you! Will do! Are there any other fight scenes you'd like to see us breakdown next?
Thank god you're back. I missed you dearly :) And great breakdown as always!
We were waiting for your comment! Thanks for the support. We have another breakdown around the corner :)
Always great ti see you guys break down these cool scenes. Keep up the good work.
How about the last fight scene in The Dark Knight Returns Part 1 next time?
This is also (oddly enough) one of the more realistic representations of armor. Scorpion just let his armor take the slashes because, even with a metal sword, slashing weapons don't cut through armor. Was a great breakdown.
Great comment on the representation of armor! Scorpion vs Sub-Zero was certainly the highlight of this film. Looking forward to Mortal Kombat 2.
Always a delight to see the notification pop up.
Sick shirt too. 🔥
Glad you like them! And it's always treat to see you engaging with out latest videos. Let us know which fight scene you want to see us breakdown next!
I love these two. Shocked that Logan didn't know about the "toasty" sound
It isn’t from a movie or tv show, but I feel like both of you would love learning about Musashi Miyamoto.
Glad y'all are back and started out with Mortal Kombat. Was really hoping it was gonna be the cage fight scene for Cole Young at the beginning of the movie but still was great to see yall back at it.
We thought about doing that fight scene, but we ultimately decided to just do the final confrontation between Scorpion, Cole Young and Sub-Zero.
@@ScenicFights totally understandable, still loved it. You guys always make great content keep up the hard work guys.
They're back! YESSSS
You know it! Our next video is right around the corner so make sure you're subscribed and have that notification bell on. Which fight scene would you like to see us breakdown next?
If you guys love this fight scene, you two should react to Hector vs Achilles in the movie “Troy.” Great compact scene with the use of weapons & different fighting styles. Love the what you guys are doing. Learning a lot. Keep up the good work.
Another great video, I love the humor as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! Let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
As long as the content is as amazing as it always is any fight scene is welcome!
Like the effort that you guys take the effort to make the weapons look (or a least shape) exactly like in the movie.
Shout out to Jason our prop guy and photographer for making these. He did a fantastic job and thank you for the noticing them!
Before I got into E-K-A (in the 90's) I tried Ninjutsu, & still have a training Kyoketsu-Shoge, which is a knife & rope weapon like Scorpion uses
I've been waiting for this
Glad we were able to deliver this for you. What other fight scene would you like to see us breakdown next?
Looking back at your early video compared to now, I totally prefer these current videos… your personalities coming out in these videos make them infinitely better…
Glad you to read this comment. With each video, we've gotten closer and more comfortable on camera because of all the support we get from you subscribers. Thank you so much! We really appreciate it.
Great upload! Tonfa is a very interesting weapon. I'm curious what'll be the next episodes gonna be about..
Woohoo! I knew it fam, toasty was a dead giveaway :) Awesome video as always, so informative and entertaining. Keep it up guys
Amazing video as always ! I wonder if you guys break down the Himoura Kenshin vs Enishi fight from the movie at some point. I'd like to know what Logan thinks about the way those character handle their weapons
this is the video i needed i cant wait for the second one
You're not going to have to wait long! What other fight scenes would you like to see us breakdown next?
I really enjoy your work
Glad to hear that! I hope you and your friends subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Logan's such a nice guy. He could use a real katana, real knife, etc, and then takes on an asymmetric degree of danger. Kudos to the channel for all the great material.
Much appreciate the comment! Make sure to get your friends to subscribe and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next.
Epic fight and epic shirts now too damn
I have been waiting for a new upload and you guys delivered! More power to you guys!
Oh and Im also looking forward for more Kengan Ashura breakdowns!
Thank you! What other Kengan Ashura fight scene would you like to see us breakdown next?
@@ScenicFights The one with Kaneda vs Himuro. Its just a small fight that lasted for a about 2 minutes but I thought the moves were pretty cool.
Hey would you say a combat knife is a good self-defense weapon or weapon in general? I hear and read a lot it's better to just have a sword, gun, or any other longer reaching weapon. I've never really done any grappling or wrestling before either. Sorry for another weird question.
The most underrated channel!
With the most awesome subscribers. Thank you so much for the engagement. Let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Great Video :D
Glad you liked it! Make sure to subscribe, hit that like button and let us know which fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Loving your vids guys!! Could you guys do some rurouni kenshin scenes and especially
the jet li fearless movie fight scene kung fu vs karate? That was an epic fight
I love it that you guys got wooden weapons of the weapons used in the movie. It's really cool. I want Sub-Zero's ice sword
Thank you! Is this something you would be interested in buying in the future? We might consider selling our props to subscribers to help fund our videos. The majority of our props are made by our prop master and photographer, Jason! He's amazing.
@@ScenicFights Perhaps. Is it actually a useable thing to mess around with or just impractical?
Wow great video
Glad you enjoyed it! Make sure to share it with your friends and get them to like and subscribe too! Are there any other fight scene you'd like to see us breakdown next?
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ANOTHER VIDEO AGAIN
Thank you for the support as always! What other fight scene would you like to see us breakdown next?
Most favorite episode in awhile
Thank you! That means a lot to us. Let us know if there are any other fight scenes you'd like to see us breakdown next!
Logan looks so happy, he only got ragdolled once in this entire video 😂 I hope there's a video that's heavy on Kali/Silat that both Logan and Chad can review equally.
We have a few surprises coming up so make sure to subscribe and hit that notification bell so you know when they are live!
😂🤣🤣 I love how Chad and Pak always picks up Logan like it’s nothing🤣🤣🤣
Hi, I love y'all's stuff so much! Could you guys possibly cover the final fight in the movie The Hunt (2020)? It's very Hollywood but I still love it lol
Just finished watching the first season of See. The fight choreography has got a lot going on. Would be cool to see some scenes from that broken down.
And we are back! We must know, who is your favorite Mortal Kombat character?
Scorpion. All day, every day.
Baraka, super cool even though NRS likes to make him a jobber (though they seemed to be fixing that in MK11, where he was an actual badass)
Tie between Raiden and Sub-Zero. They both just look so badass haha
My favourite character is John Rambo
@@gursimarsingh7980 Lmao wasn't expecting this answer, but yes he is officially a MK character now!
