Everybody knows there acting, but the directors, make sure, it's like the real thing! I havnt seen either those movies for ages, but, there is a fare bit of realism in it!

Only a kid would think them moves are real, if ya human, and know what the human body is capable of, hehe, ya know there not real moves! Making them moves look real though, is what has made him popular!

Why would it surprise you that most martial arts classes are "very low standard" because the average person, doesnt do martial arts!
Thing that makes a Martial arts school "very low stamdard" would be, a shonky teacher!

>I open this for debate

cool

I've learned a fare bit from movies really, e.g. Stealth "ninja movies", Fighting "fighting movies",
I've put them into use, and they work, thats why i compare shit to movies!
even in video games, like flight sims, war games, all takes strategy, even though i havnt flown a x-wing, or a harrier, I can say I've seen people fly em before, from the movies, i then use there tactics/strategy, and alls sweet!
