@@ohauss Even if she did, that is a strategy to reduce effectiveness of the opponents' attack (we learn it in martial arts) - but if she did it intentionally for the effectiveness by which she wanted against them, then it's perfectly reasonable if she was confident in her ability.

@cachetheline Жыл бұрын

@@okarifox A lot of martial arts is just very showy when used in cinema. It's rare that fight scenes feel tangible and effective; seeing contact, hearing and feeling the contact, attacks that are blocked that actually look like attacks and not useless punches thrown to the air yet still blocked, use of environment and objects, all of that. Believable may not be the best word, but it's well choreographed and refreshing to look at from a martial arts fighting standpoint.

OK, this was very well-made. My ONLY qualm is this: I had to replay the part where she jumps to the roof, because the way it was edited, it appeared as if the winged one was an entirely different character altogether. The sound effect of her ascent begin before she is out of frame, so...can you understand my confusion? Other than that, this was stellar. Great fighyt scenes and stunts. This would make a great series. Question: The main character's wings are black. Does this imply she is a dark or "fallen" angel or demon or something?

@yarddawg8287 Жыл бұрын

I just accept the stories as they are, but I have to agree. I kept waiting for the winged character to be revealed and enter the fight. But, still very enjoyable! Excellent fight scene with solid acting!!!

I think that Amy Johnston has passed away, on March 17, 2021, from cancer. That is what I am finding. She has a rather large body of work, a large part of her career seems to be that of a stunt woman for other mainstream actresses. She was in a movie called Lady Blood Fight. It was one of the typical female martial arts fight for your life to win the stuffed animal prize. I have not watched it, but it looks like the same formula that we have seen done by J.C. VanDam and the rest. Only of course, she is much more fun to watch, and she is certainly very skilled. I have watched this short in the past, and watched it again, and looked her up and found that she had passed at the age of 66. RIP to a talented woman.
