After seeing so many clips of Tom Holland talking about his audition from his point of view and how unsure he was and not at all confident he got it, hearing what it was like on the other side and how much he impressed them is so rewarding!!🤟
You can see how much they focus on how the beats help the story, but so many recent marvel movies and shows have such janky and inconsistent story and character beats I mean making bucky and Sam such dicks in their show, black widow, multiverse, there's some cool stuff but it's just such a giant dive in writing quality
Haha that's definitely really great to see Although this bums me out rewatching this, they had SO much better writing and people on the team back then, phase 4 was such a massive dive in character writing, consistency and quality haha
Something I noticed about the Winter solider's Choreography that I love- he always opens the fight with something that puts him in immediate advantage. Fighting a dude who can fly and someone who can't? Throw the non flyer off the airship and their compatriot will be distracted trying to save them while you kick his arse. Car chase? Destroy the steering and hit them hard when they inevitably crash and are already dazed and/or injured. It gives him character without breaking his initial portrayal as a biological Terminator.
That’s what makes him stand out as the winter soldier. To create that feeling that you wouldn’t wanna mess with him. He can stop you from whatever you’re trying to do
I appreciate how they broke down and explained how Robert is an actual martial artists and Tom came from a dance and gymnastics background, able to be acrobatic. Chris Evans with dancing and being in the fight scenes. Appreciating the depth of this episode.
15:53 The fact that Gui was completely in tune with what James was throwing at him is astounding and a true testament to their talent as stunt performers.
I used to do martial arts and having that shared understanding of how you're going to react to different moves is wonderful when it all lines up. Oddly you see a similar thing with Star Trek actors. You can shout at them that ship is under attack and they'll start shaking in their chair, then shout "Hit!" and they'll move in response to the hit completely in sync with each other. Happens on an episode of Will Wheaton's TableTop with two actors who weren't even in the same Star Trek series and it was hilarious.
I replayed that a couple times just to keep up with it all, and I noticed how when James says "if anything comes from the outside", he points his thumb outwards and Gui immediately picks up on that little gesture and follows with a hook, and all this seamlessly done while he's in the middle of explaining what that martial art does and how it works without missing a beat, or slowing down to tell Gui what to do, eve though it wasn't something they rehearsed. So cool to see.
like he said there dance partners im sure they know each other very well u kinda get muscle memory, like ok here comes gui tackle he likes hes gonna comin in like this so i gotta do this. i love this series gives me alot of insight into how its done i hope to one day to or work on something like this.
Okay, James, you're iconic and I'm thrilled this episode has introduced you to people like me who weren't familiar with you even if they were with your work. JUST your fighting and stuntwork as Bucky in Winter Soldier would make you legendary, but doubling for a bunch of other characters AND designing a bunch of the action? Boss.
I absolutely loved this episode. I actually teared up listening to the story about how Tom Holland got the role. But really, this just solidifies how important the stunt guys are, not just for stunts but for the story of the movie and casting.
@GameFuMaster i truly think the shaky game was favorite part of it, gritty as heck. felt like you were cap’s ally in the fight vs bucky since you were RIGHT THERE
Big studios themselves should be making stuff like these about the stunt work and effort that goes behind them. I know they release BTS footages but they have to give more space for stunt persons to talk about their craft like this. This makes me appreciate the movies even more.
Love the consistently engaging guest speakers in your episodes. So good to hear the backstory. Also, Gui deserves a permanent seat on the couch for these Stuntman episodes. Wanna see: The Raid Hallway scene with machete. There's some crazy martials arts and a gruesome bit involving a neck and broken door and people flying out of windows.
Dude, that smackdown that Cap and Bucky deliver on Iron Man just bouncing the shield back and forth to one another is one of the most iconic shots of Civil War, and to hear that it was made up on the day just 20 minutes before shooting is incredible. Shows not only a lot of the talent of the stunt performers and the actors and the crew behind the camera, but also just how much freedom can be had even in these big, planned out, interconnected blockbusters that aren't as rigid as is speculated.
This is actually one of your best videos yet. That ending monologue from Niko was really good. All movies are achievements. Also Oscars recognize stunt teams please
Their hard work was really displayed in the winter Soldier.. It was so refreshing to watch such a wonderful action choreography in the theatre and that too after a very long time.
Best episode yet. The way gui and the guest interact and showed off RDJ’s fighting style so effortlessly shows how in tune each of them are in their craft and it made this episode of SMR the most entertaining yet.
Every time I see one of these, my mind is blown by the dedication and ability of the stunt teams on these films. There's so much stuff in the Marvel movies that I assumed was CG, like the dents in the cars after a dude gets kicked into them, for example. The fact that it was really his body denting the car and cracking the glass is insane.
All the fans of action movies and not just MCU movies need to watch this to truly appreciate the actual amount of effort everyone both on and off the screen, from the director and writers, to the actors, the special effects team, cameramen and especially the stuntmen put into creating such amazing masterpieces for our entertainment. This is genuinely amazing. I never knew that the stuntmen had this level of decision making power when it comes to the impact a scene can have on the storyline and not just how good it looks during that particular scene for instance the decision to let the Winter soldier hold the shield for that iconic pose during the fight scene with Cap underneath the bridge.
Loved Niko's point about films in the MCU being achievements in cinema. I'm sure they'll be looked at that way as time goes on, but we're truly living in a historic part of cinema right now when it comes to comic book films and how good they are.
I think this really goes to show the power of having people working on a project that also share the love and passion for it that the audience do, hearing james talk about how his love for the comics influenced the choreography and story telling in the action was so satisfying because it truly felt like a love letter to the origins as a watcher.
This video has completely changed the way I think about action scenes. Hearing the incredible care and detail of every aspect of the Bucky/shield moment and the creative ingenuity of the massive Civil War fight(s)... I absolutely have a whole new appreciation of fight scenes
Speaking of big hits, one of my favourite stories was from watching the director commentary on the movie Serenity. Joss talks about how now amount of CGI can imitate Nathan Fillion smashing his face into the flooring, he then follows up with a line about however if you ask him nice enough he will do it for free.
Nobody ever talks about the final fight scene in 1994’s Blown Away, but it is one of my favorites. It really looks like a life and death struggle. Punching, kicking, crashing through walls, falling down stairs, using boards, nails, handcuffs. It def gets an A+ from me.
Winter Soldier is my personal favourite Marvel movie, it was suspenseful but still action-filled, and had some of the best dialogue and character development of any of the films, and the cinematography and fight choreography were next level
James is awesome. He's an entertaining, engaging speaker, and did such a great job of explaining all of the nuance and behind the scenes stuff. I'd love to see him as a recurring guest!
He must be very humble, as well. Even Gui was surprised at how often James was actually in the shots, that lets me assume James doesn't go around shouting "Oh, that's was me!" whenever he's in a scene.
like many, i love the hand-to-hand combat work in the winter soldier, and it was great to hear james break down the other marvel stuntwork he's done since then! he's great at describing his work and process in interviews, so a longer discussion was awesome.
I've been bingeing this channel's videos for days and I'm so grateful for you guys making these vfx and stunt reactions bc it makes me learn a lot of stuff in film production and appreciate film making so much more than i probably would've ever been otherwise😭😭💕💕 this is kind of different from what you guys usually react to but i do would love for you to check out Stray Kids' "Maniac" music video!! It just released today and the entire time I watched it I kept wondering how you guys would react to the editing/vfx stuff (and of course the music too, i hope you guys will enjoy their song) please please please do a video for it if you can ;u; (and if there are any Stays/kpop fans reading this, please like this comment so they can see xD)
@jamesyoung the best behind the scenes stunt video I've ever seen. Really tugging at heart strings here. This video is in my top 10 YT videos of all time. A quick word for James and Gui... Thank you so much for all your hard work both. I know there's a huge crew, but MCU wouldn't be the same without you.
I love the content! Its a range of things they get into. Being a Superhero nerd myself this video was cool to hear some of the things behind the camera!
What an episode, so many insights into how it was done. Winter Soldier in terms of fighting scenes is so good maybe that is why it had a good rewatchability factor for me.
One awesome episode! So much bts information! I would love to see you guys react to "The Foreigner" - or any movie, that has to portray an aging person fighting. I honestly enjoyed the way the filmed the fight in the appartement with Jackie Chan.
Winter Soldier, Civil War and Daredevil were my literal all time favourites when it came to on screen action. Got to see two behind the scenes right here, Glad to see and learn so much !
Another stunt I would love for you guys to analyze and breakdown is the sidekick Bruce Lee delivers in "Way of the Dragon" (1972) that sends the recipient flying into a stack of boxes. I'm wondering if the kick is for real or if there is a wire attached to the guy yanking him into the boxes. Would love to see a professional breakdown that scene.
In the Captain America trilogy, there was always a scene where Bucky gets a hold of the shield...I really thought those foreshadowed him becoming Cap in the movies.
Hearing James' comment about making fight scenes with tatsumaki senpukyakus is difficult reminded me of Street Fighter Assassin's fist. It would be great to see the crew's insight on that series sometime. Perhaps even get some of the actors/stuntmen from there such as Mike Moh, Christian Howard, and Gaku Space for their input as well.
God I love hearing these breakdowns from all of the stunt performers, it's such a neat perspective on these scenes! Hearing James talking about Anime got me thinking: what if you guys did an episode where Stunt performers try to imagine how they would recreate some anime fight scenes?
I love that Gui is another presenter now. Like, him doing the intro is ace. Also the little story on Tom's audition is bloody wonderful. Think I've heard about him opening with the perfectly-performed flip, but knowing the full events (him just flipping about on the mat and such) makes it that much better. Also Chris just coming in to act opposite them on the auditions. What a guy.
I was poor when the MCU started taking off so I ended up getting into it late and the first time I watched Captain America: the Winter Soldier I paused the movies just to watch that fight scene over again. That's the first time in a long long time that I was excited for a fight scene. Ive been gushing about it ever since. Good job to all involved
great stuff as always. tbh, the Battleship movie has some decent fx and stunts to react to. (even if it wasn't the BEST adaptation of a board game). There's even a scene at the beginning of the main character breaking into a store and falling through the ceiling lol
The moment when James turns to Gui and starts throwing demo punches at him, then just does a tiny gesture to get Gui to throw some back to show how Wing Chun works... That speaks volumes for the experience those two guys have.
Loved this episode so much insight into stunt performers and how much they put into making all these amazing movies and scenes yet all the celebrities get the limelight
Always great to see behind the scenes from Marvel movies and having the actual stunt people behind it! Corridor Crew needs to review the awesome stunts of the 80s and 90s franchise of American Ninja with Michael Dudikoff and Steve James!! Would love to see that!!
Even the little improvised demonstration Gui and James gave was impressive when demonstrating the centered marital arts style. Not even a second after James said "...comes from the outside", Gui swiped in from the side and James blocked it and continued talking/demonstrating it's truly a dance.
Omg I replayed that moment so many times to see what Gui actually responds to. What he responds to is James starting that sentence by pointing with his thumb to the outside, but because it's directly towards the camera you can't really see it. But just like dancers immediately interpret someone's intentions, Gui immediately understood that he then had to punch from the outside to demonstrate it. Absolutely phenomenal to watch stuntmen together.
I know this is the stuntman react but have you guys ever looked at Rango in your VFX react? The textures in the film are incredible and it had such a "film" esque look, something that wasn't really noted on until Pixar started doing split diopter stuff. Also Hotel Transylvania. They had to break the models to be able to do the cartoon-esque, Tex Avery style effects. Would love to see you guys go into it!
The Tom Jane Punisher has some amazing fight scenes and it was one of the earlier movies that shows an action hero main character getting very slow and tired as he fights. The scene where Punisher fights the bad guys in his apartment is pretty great, and Kevin Nash plays one of the bad guys that Tom Jane has to fight. The short Dirty Laundry with Ton Jane also has a really heavy hit where Tom Jane hits someone with a full bottle of Jim Beam as hard as he can. It's a hit that doesn't play very brutal on screen, but anyone who has been hit with a FULL bottle knows how hard that shit hurts, especially when the bottle DOESN'T break.
The Winter Soldier has stayed one of my favorite Marvel films. It's so unique compared to the rest of the Captain America and Avengers films. The opening boat scene was just perfection after the slightly lacking combat of the first Cap film.
Love the videos. I don't think I've seen you cover anything from Escape Plan with Sly Stallone and Arnold. I'd love to see a stuntperson react to the Sly fight with Vinnie Jones at the end of the movie. Specifically the fall down the stairs. Also the shot with Sly's character hanging from the ladder on the helicopter and shooting the oil drums.
I'll never forget the goosebumps i got when seeing all the heroes of the movies come against each other and hearing the brass orchestra BWAAAAA BWA BWA BWUUUUUH. Every time I watch it, it's the same sadness and discouragement. Always think "how did it all come to this?"
For hard hits, I forget where I heard it, but I think the last kick that Tom Cruise did in the big beach fight in Mission: Impossible 2 actually connected with Dougray Scott’s (or more likely his stuntman’s) chin. You can kind of see it in the film where Cruise looks genuinely shocked after he lands.
After hearing their stories about working in those suits, I think it'd be super cool to see you guys do a react video with monster suit actors like Doug Jones, Brian Steele etc.
I'd love that especially if they looked at some Zord fights from Power Rangers cause they do some crazy stuff in those big bulky monster and robot suits.
After seeing so many clips of Tom Holland talking about his audition from his point of view and how unsure he was and not at all confident he got it, hearing what it was like on the other side and how much he impressed them is so rewarding!!🤟
You can see how much they focus on how the beats help the story, but so many recent marvel movies and shows have such janky and inconsistent story and character beats
I mean making bucky and Sam such dicks in their show, black widow, multiverse, there's some cool stuff but it's just such a giant dive in writing quality
Haha that's definitely really great to see
Although this bums me out rewatching this, they had SO much better writing and people on the team back then, phase 4 was such a massive dive in character writing, consistency and quality haha
ALRIGHT! CONFIRMED! TOM HOLLAND, THE PERFECT SPIDER-MAN/PETER PARKER!!!
Looole

You can see Chris Evans in that screen test trying REALLY hard not to react from how cool that flip was.
Okay, James, you're iconic and I'm thrilled this episode has introduced you to people like me who weren't familiar with you even if they were with your work. JUST your fighting and stuntwork as Bucky in Winter Soldier would make you legendary, but doubling for a bunch of other characters AND designing a bunch of the action? Boss.
Mind blowing
Honestly in this episode Gui looks like a part of Corridor's team 😂
At this point he pretty much is lol
Halo bang
I thought he was LMAO
I'd like to see Gui act as Black Panther. I'm sure he could do it.
He IS.
I absolutely loved this episode. I actually teared up listening to the story about how Tom Holland got the role. But really, this just solidifies how important the stunt guys are, not just for stunts but for the story of the movie and casting.
I learned more than usual this episode! That Tom Holland story was incredible! And I had no idea RDJ did Wing Chun!
@Cam James he privately practices it
@Thembani the One i always thought he learned a little bit for the movie, not that he actually practices it privately.
You can see him practising it in Iron Man 3 as he does the first test for his new suit. He does a Wing Chun flourish at the camera.
What kills me is that no one is talking about James's pitch perfect Tom Holland impression.
James has such great storytelling, hope he comes back for more episodes
i’ve heard the tom holland story a million times but the way that james told that story gave me goosebumps oh my god. it must’ve been a magical moment
The fight choreography and stunt work in The Winter Soldier was incredible, I was blown away watching it in theatres
@Jason Sulecki if you live life on vibrate mode, sorry about your condition
@GameFuMaster i truly think the shaky game was favorite part of it, gritty as heck. felt like you were cap’s ally in the fight vs bucky since you were RIGHT THERE
I thought ur pfp was a hair on my screen 💀
Something unrelated to the video. When I saw this comment, for a sec i thought there's tiny hair on my screen 😂
Boys season 3 trailer breakdown Meri Channel par dekh sakte hai
11:27 i heard about tom making a flip at his audition, but hearing that story like this was just beautiful. what a great kinda 4th-wall breach story.
So, he's the guy who us one of the most badass fights in the MCU? RESPECT.
Big studios themselves should be making stuff like these about the stunt work and effort that goes behind them. I know they release BTS footages but they have to give more space for stunt persons to talk about their craft like this. This makes me appreciate the movies even more.
No one should be playing that many badass roles and still be basically unknown by the fans - thanks for shining the light on these heroes corridor
Love the consistently engaging guest speakers in your episodes. So good to hear the backstory. Also, Gui deserves a permanent seat on the couch for these Stuntman episodes.
Wanna see: The Raid Hallway scene with machete. There's some crazy martials arts and a gruesome bit involving a neck and broken door and people flying out of windows.
The ability these guys have to tell a story while smashing peoples faces is incredible 😂👏
Eyo wassup homie
funny seeing you here
@Bumblor Sanchez would be awesome! Been watching Corridor for years, Gui feels like a natural fit
You and IcyMike are here too?!
Holy crap i did not expect to see you here
Dude, that smackdown that Cap and Bucky deliver on Iron Man just bouncing the shield back and forth to one another is one of the most iconic shots of Civil War, and to hear that it was made up on the day just 20 minutes before shooting is incredible. Shows not only a lot of the talent of the stunt performers and the actors and the crew behind the camera, but also just how much freedom can be had even in these big, planned out, interconnected blockbusters that aren't as rigid as is speculated.
I never knew Chris Evans was so skilled at the fighting choreo.
But the story of Tom doesn’t surprise me at all. He’s so talented!
This is actually one of your best videos yet. That ending monologue from Niko was really good. All movies are achievements. Also Oscars recognize stunt teams please
Their hard work was really displayed in the winter Soldier.. It was so refreshing to watch such a wonderful action choreography in the theatre and that too after a very long time.
Best episode yet. The way gui and the guest interact and showed off RDJ’s fighting style so effortlessly shows how in tune each of them are in their craft and it made this episode of SMR the most entertaining yet.
So the stunts were cool and all... but big props to Gui for anchoring that intro! The dude can do it all.
@hard2hurt ok daddy!
@Glenn Miller yeah i think he should be permanent
Gui is awesome! he knows these people professionally, who better to front the stuntmen reacts videos! Hope this becomes a regular thing! :)
Boys season 3 trailer breakdown Meri Channel par dekh sakte hai
He's part of the crew now
The story about Tom Holland has to be one of my favorite Hollywood stories I've heard.
Every time I see one of these, my mind is blown by the dedication and ability of the stunt teams on these films. There's so much stuff in the Marvel movies that I assumed was CG, like the dents in the cars after a dude gets kicked into them, for example. The fact that it was really his body denting the car and cracking the glass is insane.
Great insight from one of teams that are the backbone. you can totally see and hear the love, passion and respect for both sides
James is amazing, his personality and presence is feeling. And how he speaks about Tom is really nice, I gained more respect to actor
All the fans of action movies and not just MCU movies need to watch this to truly appreciate the actual amount of effort everyone both on and off the screen, from the director and writers, to the actors, the special effects team, cameramen and especially the stuntmen put into creating such amazing masterpieces for our entertainment. This is genuinely amazing. I never knew that the stuntmen had this level of decision making power when it comes to the impact a scene can have on the storyline and not just how good it looks during that particular scene for instance the decision to let the Winter soldier hold the shield for that iconic pose during the fight scene with Cap underneath the bridge.
I love that Gui is such a regular guest he just does the entire intro
Niko doesn't even get introduced, he's just also there. Brilliant! :D
@LManProductions Imagine he suddenly drops the bomb; " you know I'm something of a cgi artist myself" Shiieed.. =D
@reaperbeing I think he is purposely trying to put himself in that position and I’m totally here for it
I see him as an official CorridorCrew member by this point =)
Tom Holland deserves the spiderman role. That's how you crush your audition
IMO, one of the best parts of the Captain Hammer scene is Thor's reaction to seeing him with the hammer.
Loved Niko's point about films in the MCU being achievements in cinema. I'm sure they'll be looked at that way as time goes on, but we're truly living in a historic part of cinema right now when it comes to comic book films and how good they are.
I think this really goes to show the power of having people working on a project that also share the love and passion for it that the audience do, hearing james talk about how his love for the comics influenced the choreography and story telling in the action was so satisfying because it truly felt like a love letter to the origins as a watcher.
Gui is just awesome! I love having him in these videos.
The audition story about Tom Holland made me a bigger fan of every party involved. This was a really great episode.
Absolutely brilliant
The number of likes is kinda sus
Amazing to have James there. Love these breakdowns and behind the scenes.
Wow amazing to hear how much respect that dude has for Tom he seems like a solid guy
This video has completely changed the way I think about action scenes. Hearing the incredible care and detail of every aspect of the Bucky/shield moment and the creative ingenuity of the massive Civil War fight(s)... I absolutely have a whole new appreciation of fight scenes

Joss talks about how now amount of CGI can imitate Nathan Fillion smashing his face into the flooring, he then follows up with a line about however if you ask him nice enough he will do it for free.
This is probably my favourite stunt men reacts episode yet. So many awesome insights and cool stories. Please bring James back!!!
As a die hard spiderman fan, hearing him tell the Tom Holland story gave me goosebumps
I'm not even a fan but I felt it
@MTB Chuck other than some the first goblin fight and the “now choose scene” there wasn’t even a lot.
@Imotekh the Stormlord his movies are meant to be less mature thats why they want an actual teen to play the role
Honestly even tho Toms movies were the best, he is born to play Peter Parker more so than Tobey and Andrew
@Imotekh the Stormlord for the time, the 1st spiderman with Toby was a CGI fest too for what we were used too :P
Nobody ever talks about the final fight scene in 1994’s Blown Away, but it is one of my favorites. It really looks like a life and death struggle. Punching, kicking, crashing through walls, falling down stairs, using boards, nails, handcuffs. It def gets an A+ from me.
02:15 _That kick! Right there!_
My favourite combat shot in all of the MCU.
Winter Soldier is my personal favourite Marvel movie, it was suspenseful but still action-filled, and had some of the best dialogue and character development of any of the films, and the cinematography and fight choreography were next level
Man I love Gui! James has great insights and this was an awesome episode!
James is awesome. He's an entertaining, engaging speaker, and did such a great job of explaining all of the nuance and behind the scenes stuff. I'd love to see him as a recurring guest!
He must be very humble, as well. Even Gui was surprised at how often James was actually in the shots, that lets me assume James doesn't go around shouting "Oh, that's was me!" whenever he's in a scene.
Man at 14:20 you can really see Niko hit a limit on his nerdgasm as he learns that buddy is Iron Man as well
This man explains in the quickest way how character and mannerisms add to a fight, how they inform the fight. It's so good.
This is one of the best React videos you guys have done. Love both of the guests and Niko is a great host
james is such a great storyteller both for the movies and for this episode
like many, i love the hand-to-hand combat work in the winter soldier, and it was great to hear james break down the other marvel stuntwork he's done since then! he's great at describing his work and process in interviews, so a longer discussion was awesome.
Gui needs his own show... doing literally anything. He's such a good hype-man
Isn’t it Stuntman react? He been on every single one since Clint left
That's that Brazilian flavor
It could literally be a cooking show and I would watch it!
This is Gui's show at this point.
I think hype-man doesn't do him justice at all
I've been bingeing this channel's videos for days and I'm so grateful for you guys making these vfx and stunt reactions bc it makes me learn a lot of stuff in film production and appreciate film making so much more than i probably would've ever been otherwise😭😭💕💕 this is kind of different from what you guys usually react to but i do would love for you to check out Stray Kids' "Maniac" music video!!

This has to be the best Stuntman episode ever. Great engagement, behind the scenes stories, and making me fall even more in love with theses movies.
word‼️‼️
Winter Soldier, Civil War and Daredevil were my literal all time favourites when it came to on screen action. Got to see two behind the scenes right here, Glad to see and learn so much !

That's the first time in a long long time that I was excited for a fight scene. Ive been gushing about it ever since. Good job to all involved
Pls we need more episodes swith James. He is such a nice guy and you can really feel his passion for the industry when he talks about Tom Holland
great stuff as always.
tbh, the Battleship movie has some decent fx and stunts to react to. (even if it wasn't the BEST adaptation of a board game).
There's even a scene at the beginning of the main character breaking into a store and falling through the ceiling lol
The moment when James turns to Gui and starts throwing demo punches at him, then just does a tiny gesture to get Gui to throw some back to show how Wing Chun works... That speaks volumes for the experience those two guys have.
And then the approving nod by Gui like "yeah that's wing chun"
I also appreciated the clip from an Ip Man movie.
It makes me so genuinely happy that Gui is an honorary member of Corridor
Loved this episode so much insight into stunt performers and how much they put into making all these amazing movies and scenes yet all the celebrities get the limelight
Always great to see behind the scenes from Marvel movies and having the actual stunt people behind it!
Corridor Crew needs to review the awesome stunts of the 80s and 90s franchise of American Ninja with Michael Dudikoff and Steve James!! Would love to see that!!
So glad that Corridor gives stuntmen the spotlight they deserve.
Loved James! Awesome stories, skills and charisma, he has to come back please! 👏🏼
Even the little improvised demonstration Gui and James gave was impressive when demonstrating the centered marital arts style. Not even a second after James said "...comes from the outside", Gui swiped in from the side and James blocked it and continued talking/demonstrating it's truly a dance.
marital arts is a venerable pratchett joke. I didn't think people confused those words for real
marital arts!
Omg I replayed that moment so many times to see what Gui actually responds to. What he responds to is James starting that sentence by pointing with his thumb to the outside, but because it's directly towards the camera you can't really see it. But just like dancers immediately interpret someone's intentions, Gui immediately understood that he then had to punch from the outside to demonstrate it. Absolutely phenomenal to watch stuntmen together.
Gui's ability to hype me up never ceases to amaze me
I know this is the stuntman react but have you guys ever looked at Rango in your VFX react? The textures in the film are incredible and it had such a "film" esque look, something that wasn't really noted on until Pixar started doing split diopter stuff.
Also Hotel Transylvania. They had to break the models to be able to do the cartoon-esque, Tex Avery style effects. Would love to see you guys go into it!
The Tom Jane Punisher has some amazing fight scenes and it was one of the earlier movies that shows an action hero main character getting very slow and tired as he fights. The scene where Punisher fights the bad guys in his apartment is pretty great, and Kevin Nash plays one of the bad guys that Tom Jane has to fight. The short Dirty Laundry with Ton Jane also has a really heavy hit where Tom Jane hits someone with a full bottle of Jim Beam as hard as he can. It's a hit that doesn't play very brutal on screen, but anyone who has been hit with a FULL bottle knows how hard that shit hurts, especially when the bottle DOESN'T break.
Seeing the guys that actually make these movies happen is amazing
The Winter Soldier has stayed one of my favorite Marvel films. It's so unique compared to the rest of the Captain America and Avengers films. The opening boat scene was just perfection after the slightly lacking combat of the first Cap film.
GUI slowly but surely creeping in to be take over this show lmao.
I don’t blame him at all, but it seems like a conscientious attempt to do exactly that.
Love the videos. I don't think I've seen you cover anything from Escape Plan with Sly Stallone and Arnold. I'd love to see a stuntperson react to the Sly fight with Vinnie Jones at the end of the movie. Specifically the fall down the stairs. Also the shot with Sly's character hanging from the ladder on the helicopter and shooting the oil drums.
seems hard as hell to make these movies, cool to see some of the hard work that goes into it
Love the Bucky knife flip awesome seeing how it came about and the amazing stunt performer who did most all of it
I'll never forget the goosebumps i got when seeing all the heroes of the movies come against each other and hearing the brass orchestra BWAAAAA BWA BWA BWUUUUUH.
Every time I watch it, it's the same sadness and discouragement. Always think "how did it all come to this?"
Gui needs to show his scenes in Step Up 5 where he literally flips in and out of every scene 😂
Hearing the story about Tom Holland’s audition and seeing the footage is sooo good!!
Also, this whole episode is GREAT!
What a time to be alive we experienced a whole new genre of films that will be part of history.
I just had to stop half way through and let you guys know how amazing these videos are. Jesus Christ. So much insight from such talented people.
I had to subscribe because of this one. Especially that ending, "if you've seen a Marvel film" good job guys. Love the content
Brilliant episode, it covered a LOT of ground of the whole stunt system. Thank you for this!
For hard hits, I forget where I heard it, but I think the last kick that Tom Cruise did in the big beach fight in Mission: Impossible 2 actually connected with Dougray Scott’s (or more likely his stuntman’s) chin. You can kind of see it in the film where Cruise looks genuinely shocked after he lands.
After hearing their stories about working in those suits, I think it'd be super cool to see you guys do a react video with monster suit actors like Doug Jones, Brian Steele etc.
I'd love that especially if they looked at some Zord fights from Power Rangers cause they do some crazy stuff in those big bulky monster and robot suits.
Yes! This.
I can already picture the intro, Sam or Wren going "We have such sights to show you".
I love behind the scenes. It's more like a motivation to young filmmakers like myself. What will I do without corridor 😭😭
I get goosebumps every single time I watch that endgame fight. Its amazing.
And I wouldn't say Kevin is Thanos. He's more like The Watcher.
They have to get RDJ on the couch to break down his iconic action sequences through the years!
Everyone needs a hype man like Gui 🤣🥰
