Thanks Arc.

Someone earlier was talking about cool close quarter gun fights. I've forgotten whether they posted a fight from Trigun or a fight from some Wesley Snipes film¹, but my favourite fight of this variety has to be the final gun-kata duel that Bale and Big Brother have at the end of Equilibrium.

Equilibrium is a very silly movie that really has no redeeming qualities other than Christian Bale's acting -excellent in this movie- and cool fights. People make fun of the silliness that is gun-kata all the time from it's concept down to its improper term using name, but the movie creates some really cool looking fights² using it although admittedly there are some lame ones³ aswell.

I really like this one. It's not super long or complex, but it really manages to look like a good Jet Li or Jacky Chan fight only with hand guns and they never actually hit eachother. It has that flowing gracefulness to it that makes you believe both of these guys really are masters of the same refined style of gun-kungfu. On top of that, it's just choreographed well. I like the part in the middle where they don't get close enough for either of them to attempt a shot for while and then finally, BANG, Bale takes one. It really pops well on screen.

¹ Always bet on the African American.
² This one, all the scenes that come immediately before it, and the part in the beginning where he kicks down the door.
³ The two times where he fights sweeper teams at extremely close range. However, I will admit that I like whenever someone's motorcycle helmet visor gets smashed.

I don't think I've ever heard of that movie but that was a pretty tasty scene. Except for every single moment when somebody is talking.

Yeah uhm... It's kind of a problem with the whole movie.

Norondor · « **Reply #89 on:** May 02, 2009, 05:59:58 PM »

the other problem is any time there's anything going on that's not a gun fight

MadMAxJr · « **Reply #90 on:** May 02, 2009, 06:07:16 PM »

Huh. I have that movie sitting on my desk. Think I'll go watch it in a bit.

I love the "Dragon" fight.

[spoiler]It's right before the scene Geo posted, there's a second in command bad guy who has been built up the entire movie to be a fighter on par with Bale, or at least a challenge. Bale takes him out in less than a second, and then you remember that, oh yeah, Bale really is the best guy they had. Everyone else, including the villains, are just fodder compared to him, really.[/spoiler]

James Edward Smith · « **Reply #92 on:** May 02, 2009, 06:32:33 PM »

Heheh, it's a movie not a lot of people have seen, but for some reason EVERY GEEKY GIRL who likes action movies and/or swordfighting has seen it so I figured Friday would have. Is Christian Bale just that alluring?

I was going to say something, but then I decided to not be a dick for a change. Of course that's the time when everyone would have agreed.

I actually only saw it fairly recently, about a year ago. A friend recommended it. He said it was a silly movie with good fights. Which is exactly what it is, so.

As far as Christian Bale goes, I like him well enough. He's no Hugh Jackman, but he's above the average.

Also, I can't ever see Bale the same way after seeing American Psycho. Jesus Christ.

That was the very first movie I ever saw with him in it.

_{I love that damn movie. It's priceless.}

Yeah, I love it too, but from now on I can't look at Bale without seeing one creepy motherfucker.

Mongrel · « **Reply #97 on:** May 03, 2009, 02:22:23 PM »

See, yeah, he's a good actor and all, but I can't take him at all seriously in any kind of GENERIC HERO MOVIE. I just keep giggling and expecting him to start trying to feed dogs into ATMs or whatever.
