Rumble in the Bronx Manipulates Your Eyes at the HIGHEST Level

Jackie Chan fight scenes are known for their crystal clear action comedy. The moves might be fast and the props might be outlandish, but the editing and directing is always aimed at helping you to enjoy the fight rather than giving you a seizure from extreme close-ups. What would Jackie do? A question I ask myself so often I put it on a shirt and actually wear it! Here it is BTW: https://bit.ly/3JfYe9h Fight scene reactions are strongly manipulated in the editing process. Do you want a section to feel slow to the audience? Want it to feel frenetic? A simple technique can make the same two clips feel slow or fast without the need to add messy, extraneous cuts. Jackie Chan action comedy movies aren't always directed by the man himself. He often relies on masterful directors like Sammo Hung and, in this case, Stanley Tong. Tong might be the most advanced fight scene director in the world. I don't mean his choreography, but his actual filming and editing prowess; Stanley Tong is on another level. The viewer's fight scene reactions are in the palm of his hands. He makes the complex clear, the slow fast, the fast simple, etc. He holds the viewer's hand when necessary, guiding their eyes like an omnipotent NPC in an RPG. "Why does that villager know exactly what I'm looking for and where I should look?" Fight scenes are a unique beast when it comes to filmmaking. Directors, editors, and martial arts choreographers need a completely new set of tools for effectively guiding the eye in these types of action comedy scenes. Consider this your online film school. These are your new combat filmmaking tools.
