they were made a being will also meet
11
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,960
some of the superstars that made these
12
00:01:47,109 --> 00:01:52,478
films box-office champs Hollywood has
13
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:55,389
never been bashful about borrowing from
14
00:01:52,478 --> 00:01:57,640
other cultures there's a special kind of
15
00:01:55,390 --> 00:01:59,710
film that requires physical strength a
16
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:02,649
sense of grace and incredible
17
00:01:59,709 --> 00:02:05,169
coordination became known as the Eastern
18
00:02:02,649 --> 00:02:08,080
Western the top guys are martial art
19
00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:12,939
champions gunplay is replaced by high
20
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:14,890
kicks and exotic weaponry kungfu mission
21
00:02:12,939 --> 00:02:17,049
is a good example of a popular martial
22
00:02:14,889 --> 00:02:19,289
arts film in typical fashion the
23
00:02:17,049 --> 00:02:21,640
plotline is secondary to the action
24
00:02:19,289 --> 00:02:23,650
audience has clearly watched these films
25
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:43,779
for the carefully choreographed fight
26
00:02:23,650 --> 00:02:45,159
scenes let's meet Brandon Lee he's
27
00:02:43,780 --> 00:02:48,069
carrying on the tradition of his
28
00:02:45,159 --> 00:02:58,299
legendary father Bruce Lee on the set of
29
00:02:48,069 --> 00:03:02,250
showdown in Little Tokyo here's Brandon
30
00:02:58,299 --> 00:03:02,250
with an insider's look at a rehearsal
31
00:03:05,110 --> 00:03:09,580
the martial arts onra is special to me
32
00:03:08,349 --> 00:03:11,349
because it's always been more
33
00:03:09,580 --> 00:03:12,940
interesting in my opinion to watch two
34
00:03:11,349 --> 00:03:14,710
men who are possessed of skills and the
35
00:03:12,939 --> 00:03:16,060
martial arts fight with each other than
36
00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:18,550
to watch people shoot at each other
37
00:03:16,060 --> 00:03:20,080
because uh as my father said in Enter
38
00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:26,050
the Dragon any damn fool can pull a
39
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:27,940
trigger for me the most exciting thing
40
00:03:26,050 --> 00:03:30,760
and working in a martial arts movie is
41
00:03:27,939 --> 00:03:33,759
the choreography itself you know just
42
00:03:30,759 --> 00:03:37,209
it's it's it's really wonderfully fun
43
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:40,509
and creative to be able to choreograph a
44
00:03:37,209 --> 00:03:42,250
fights you know on this film showdown in
45
00:03:40,509 --> 00:03:44,590
Little Tokyo the choreographers a man
46
00:03:42,250 --> 00:03:46,810
named Pat Johnson who's wonderful it's
47
00:03:44,590 --> 00:03:50,950
been great to work with him and on the
48
00:03:46,810 --> 00:03:52,810
next film I expect to have a little more
49
00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:54,280
of it on my own shoulders and I'm
50
00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:56,170
looking forward to that very much it's
51
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,390
wonderful you sit home and you think it
52
00:03:56,169 --> 00:04:01,179
out and after all the training you've
53
00:03:58,389 --> 00:04:03,519
had in martial arts academies you've
54
00:04:01,180 --> 00:04:05,020
come to realize those certain golden
55
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,280
moments that happen in a fight when it's
56
00:04:05,020 --> 00:04:08,320
just perfect you know when it's just
57
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,280
perfect in the guy steps right into it
58
00:04:08,319 --> 00:04:11,739
and there's nothing like it in the world
59
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,000
and so you can create those you can make
60
00:04:11,739 --> 00:04:19,149
it happen that way every time and it's
61
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:20,668
great return of the Dragon was really
62
00:04:19,149 --> 00:04:30,969
interesting in that my father wrote it
63
00:04:20,668 --> 00:04:34,839
directed it and started it was Chuck's
64
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:36,700
first acting role I believe and the
65
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:40,029
fight scene in the end of that between
66
00:04:36,699 --> 00:04:41,680
Chuck and my father is the finest
67
00:04:40,029 --> 00:04:46,569
one-on-one fight scene I've ever seen
68
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:49,000
that I'm film there are so many nice
69
00:04:46,569 --> 00:04:50,439
little things in that film that show
70
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,180
that it's a fight scene between two
71
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:53,709
fighters you know what I mean little
72
00:04:52,180 --> 00:04:57,629
things I mean real little things little
73
00:04:53,709 --> 00:04:57,629
faints little things like that
74
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:13,180
I was eight and a half when my father
75
00:05:07,899 --> 00:05:15,849
died and he was 32 we lived in Hong Kong
76
00:05:13,180 --> 00:05:18,129
at the time so upon my father's death we
77
00:05:15,850 --> 00:05:20,470
moved to America my mother my sister and
78
00:05:18,129 --> 00:05:22,240
I and it was just a real different thing
79
00:05:20,470 --> 00:05:26,260
a whole different school system
80
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:27,970
different cultural standards I mean
81
00:05:26,259 --> 00:05:31,300
everything was different you know and we
82
00:05:27,970 --> 00:05:32,740
went from living in a large house where
83
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:34,629
I remember every day when we'd go to
84
00:05:32,740 --> 00:05:37,210
school they would open the gates and
85
00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:39,159
have to push people out of the way for
86
00:05:37,209 --> 00:05:40,539
us to you know get the car out to be
87
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,430
able to get to the school we went from
88
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:44,530
that to living in relative obscurity in
89
00:05:42,430 --> 00:05:46,840
America which was a blessing it really
90
00:05:44,529 --> 00:05:49,479
was great you know and have my mother to
91
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:53,139
think thank for that but uh so a lot of
92
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:55,270
things changed I just believe that my
93
00:05:53,139 --> 00:05:58,000
father would want the achievements of
94
00:05:55,269 --> 00:05:59,979
his life which worked great which are
95
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,439
lasting to this day 18 years after his
96
00:05:59,980 --> 00:06:05,500
death you know he would want them to be
97
00:06:02,439 --> 00:06:13,509
up ahead to me so I'm very grateful for
98
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:16,569
all I know that he would not want me to
99
00:06:13,509 --> 00:06:19,689
attempt to become a pale carbon copy of
100
00:06:16,569 --> 00:06:21,339
himself I believe that and besides which
101
00:06:19,689 --> 00:06:23,709
I have no desire to and I couldn't
102
00:06:21,339 --> 00:06:26,259
anyway you know I'm another person and
103
00:06:23,709 --> 00:06:28,269
uh hopefully I'll have my own book to
104
00:06:26,259 --> 00:06:29,860
write and now you're gonna have a
105
00:06:28,269 --> 00:06:31,959
close-up look they're one of the most
106
00:06:29,860 --> 00:06:39,569
important but least known elements of
107
00:06:31,959 --> 00:06:41,919
moviemaking sound effects editing yeah
108
00:06:39,569 --> 00:06:43,629
making a film is a collaborative effort
109
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,850
between a lot of different teams working
110
00:06:43,629 --> 00:06:47,409
independently of each other they're all
111
00:06:45,850 --> 00:06:50,200
working on the same film but we're all
112
00:06:47,410 --> 00:06:52,300
specialists and we do specific tasks my
113
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:54,459
task is is I'm a sound designer and a
114
00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:56,500
sound editor and I cut the sound effects
115
00:06:54,459 --> 00:06:58,810
that that are added to the picture later
116
00:06:56,500 --> 00:07:00,399
on typically when I get the picture
117
00:06:58,810 --> 00:07:02,589
there's a lot less sounder than most
118
00:07:00,399 --> 00:07:05,199
people were interested there's the sound
119
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:08,139
that was recorded with the width picture
120
00:07:05,199 --> 00:07:09,370
um in a fight film like this one of the
121
00:07:08,139 --> 00:07:10,629
things that's missing is all of the
122
00:07:09,370 --> 00:07:12,220
sounds of people hitting each other
123
00:07:10,629 --> 00:07:14,829
because people aren't really hitting
124
00:07:12,220 --> 00:07:16,390
each other if this were a car chase more
125
00:07:14,829 --> 00:07:18,250
than likely there would only be bits and
126
00:07:16,389 --> 00:07:21,310
pieces of the actual sound of the car
127
00:07:18,250 --> 00:07:23,019
chase if we were blowing up a building
128
00:07:21,310 --> 00:07:25,720
typically the sound that we come in
129
00:07:23,019 --> 00:07:27,819
would not really sound like a building
130
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:30,100
is supposed to sound being blown up so
131
00:07:27,819 --> 00:07:33,370
my job is to step in and make it
132
00:07:30,100 --> 00:07:35,050
actually sound like a boss best way to
133
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:38,019
illustrate it is in this little flurry
134
00:07:35,050 --> 00:07:40,210
in the fight I'll play for you just
135
00:07:38,019 --> 00:07:42,659
those sounds as the as were shot with
136
00:07:40,209 --> 00:07:42,659
the picture
137
00:07:58,839 --> 00:08:03,549
somebody my job then is still is to look
138
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,199
at that picture and and figure out the
139
00:08:03,550 --> 00:08:07,389
structure of the fight and make sounds
140
00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:09,669
that are appropriate for that fight so
141
00:08:07,389 --> 00:08:11,620
now playback that same section and I'll
142
00:08:09,668 --> 00:08:13,478
I'll play without the production but
143
00:08:11,620 --> 00:08:16,709
with just those sound effects isolated
144
00:08:13,478 --> 00:08:16,709
by themselves that have been cut
145
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:48,879
something that's very important in the
146
00:08:46,330 --> 00:08:50,560
dynamics of the actual fight sounds is
147
00:08:48,879 --> 00:08:52,899
that one of the pitfalls is that you
148
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,338
can't make every hit be the biggest hit
149
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:56,169
that ever walked the face of the planet
150
00:08:54,339 --> 00:08:58,779
because then what happens is it all
151
00:08:56,169 --> 00:09:01,329
sounds very much the same so every every
152
00:08:58,778 --> 00:09:03,850
hit every punch every kick is examined
153
00:09:01,330 --> 00:09:07,570
one at a time the film is taken apart
154
00:09:03,850 --> 00:09:09,759
and dissected and a sound that that is
155
00:09:07,570 --> 00:09:11,740
exciting yet appropriate for not only
156
00:09:09,759 --> 00:09:14,559
that individual hit but for the overall
157
00:09:11,740 --> 00:09:16,000
dynamics of the fight it's as if to say
158
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:19,088
if there's a flurry of seven or eight
159
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,980
hits and and the last hit is considered
160
00:09:19,089 --> 00:09:22,510
what we call it dispatching yet that's
161
00:09:20,980 --> 00:09:24,789
the hit that's got enough energy to
162
00:09:22,509 --> 00:09:26,649
finally knock the guy down it's really
163
00:09:24,789 --> 00:09:31,659
that dispatching hit that everything is
164
00:09:26,649 --> 00:09:34,629
is is aiming towards this is a pretty
165
00:09:31,659 --> 00:09:37,659
vicious sound sound like that is used
166
00:09:34,629 --> 00:09:41,320
almost exclusively when when when it's a
167
00:09:37,659 --> 00:09:43,269
kick to the head the gooeyness and some
168
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:46,450
of these sounds simply has to do with
169
00:09:43,269 --> 00:09:50,549
what what UFO mystically is called gore
170
00:09:46,450 --> 00:09:53,320
and the sounds of films like this where
171
00:09:50,549 --> 00:09:56,229
you really need to add the quality of
172
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:57,730
bone breaking and blood vessels poppies
173
00:09:56,230 --> 00:10:00,820
and things like that to get that
174
00:09:57,730 --> 00:10:02,470
intensity now the same thing we'll play
175
00:10:00,820 --> 00:10:05,370
with with the production in with those
176
00:10:02,470 --> 00:10:05,370
sound effects added
177
00:10:26,330 --> 00:10:30,480
of course what would be added to that
178
00:10:28,409 --> 00:10:32,159
then would be fully which is all of the
179
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,620
small sounds of the movement all of the
180
00:10:32,159 --> 00:10:39,028
foot fall on them on the mat all of the
181
00:10:34,620 --> 00:10:42,960
wishing of the arms k Robyn and Sarah
182
00:10:39,028 --> 00:10:47,070
we're going to record the body falls for
183
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:52,200
the same next right Dean hi Dean do it
184
00:10:47,070 --> 00:10:55,278
ok Foley is creation of sound effects
185
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:58,259
live on stage in sync with the picture
186
00:10:55,278 --> 00:10:59,939
years ago Foley was simply a way to
187
00:10:58,259 --> 00:11:01,588
record footsteps in sync with the
188
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:03,240
picture it was something that they
189
00:11:01,589 --> 00:11:05,900
didn't really want to do but it made the
190
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,700
made the overall sound job easier so
191
00:11:05,899 --> 00:11:10,649
they built these stages and they did it
192
00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:13,950
with the least amount of expertise in
193
00:11:10,649 --> 00:11:16,679
the least amount of money now Foley has
194
00:11:13,950 --> 00:11:20,278
become two things it's become a way to
195
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:23,519
bring life to a scene and it's also
196
00:11:20,278 --> 00:11:25,769
become a way to ease the editors burden
197
00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:29,250
in terms of the hard effects that he has
198
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:31,230
to cut ok that was great Foley and I
199
00:11:29,250 --> 00:11:33,690
worked together as a team you know in
200
00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:35,820
the case of the fights I've taken care
201
00:11:33,690 --> 00:11:39,720
of all of the actual impacts all of the
202
00:11:35,820 --> 00:11:41,370
actual skin hitting skin but the sounds
203
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,889
of the cloth movement the sounds of the
204
00:11:41,370 --> 00:11:47,639
feet on the mats the sounds of the arm
205
00:11:43,889 --> 00:11:49,588
or you know the leg whipping through the
206
00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:51,330
air the wishes behind it that those
207
00:11:49,589 --> 00:11:55,500
we've decided in this particular film to
208
00:11:51,330 --> 00:12:00,200
leave to Foley I think a good Foley
209
00:11:55,500 --> 00:12:03,089
artist needs um a sense of rhythm and
210
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,440
sense of creativity a deafening come you
211
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:06,660
know you have to think of what to work
212
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,430
for sounds sometimes the real thing it
213
00:12:06,659 --> 00:12:10,379
doesn't necessarily sound right and you
214
00:12:08,429 --> 00:12:11,149
have to think on your feet no pun
215
00:12:10,379 --> 00:12:14,909
intended
216
00:12:11,149 --> 00:12:16,860
what you do and my Sega sense of humor
217
00:12:14,909 --> 00:12:19,799
helps do you're trapped in this room all
218
00:12:16,860 --> 00:12:25,350
day so then this is like a marriage so
219
00:12:19,799 --> 00:12:27,779
you gotta love your partner we actually
220
00:12:25,350 --> 00:12:30,240
rented mats for this show over the
221
00:12:27,779 --> 00:12:31,860
professional world when a karate man but
222
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:34,289
when we got them and they sounded they
223
00:12:31,860 --> 00:12:35,850
sounded dreadful they just they got too
224
00:12:34,289 --> 00:12:37,889
much residual noise and it actually
225
00:12:35,850 --> 00:12:39,600
didn't sound good at all so we had to
226
00:12:37,889 --> 00:12:42,000
come up with something that would even
227
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,980
though it's not correct it doesn't
228
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,870
usually edition right but it sounded
229
00:12:43,980 --> 00:12:51,659
Greta you don't want it to get in the
230
00:12:45,870 --> 00:12:53,779
way and make it make it a problem it
231
00:12:51,659 --> 00:12:56,579
takes some incredible amount of focus
232
00:12:53,779 --> 00:12:58,620
because there's the red light goes on
233
00:12:56,580 --> 00:13:01,350
and you have to be there like this you
234
00:12:58,620 --> 00:13:03,389
know so it's it really is split second
235
00:13:01,350 --> 00:13:05,009
timing you have to be in sync and you
236
00:13:03,389 --> 00:13:06,419
also have to I mean there's I know it
237
00:13:05,009 --> 00:13:07,919
sounds ridiculous but there's character
238
00:13:06,419 --> 00:13:10,079
I mean if somebody's angry they walk
239
00:13:07,919 --> 00:13:11,819
differently there are good Foley artists
240
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,379
and there are bad Foley artists and if
241
00:13:11,820 --> 00:13:15,390
Foley artists are bad there isn't
242
00:13:13,379 --> 00:13:17,519
anything I can do with these knobs to
243
00:13:15,389 --> 00:13:19,980
make it sound right and therefore it
244
00:13:17,519 --> 00:13:22,350
becomes extremely important to get good
245
00:13:19,980 --> 00:13:27,250
people out there Robyn and Sarah are
246
00:13:22,350 --> 00:13:30,190
among the best okay good
247
00:13:27,250 --> 00:13:35,110
I miss drew looks like my grandmother's
248
00:13:30,190 --> 00:13:38,050
attic nigga we need a million props to
249
00:13:35,110 --> 00:13:41,320
emmett literally everything is redone
250
00:13:38,049 --> 00:13:43,240
each prof is redone so we go to
251
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,650
junkyards and and we have all these
252
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,470
different surfaces if you're walking on
253
00:13:44,649 --> 00:13:51,009
cement or if you need dirt what you need
254
00:13:47,470 --> 00:13:52,509
12 gravel pit water Rick linoleum you
255
00:13:51,009 --> 00:13:54,669
have to have all the different surfaces
256
00:13:52,509 --> 00:13:57,189
so that you can go from outside walk
257
00:13:54,669 --> 00:13:59,769
along the grass onto the street into a
258
00:13:57,190 --> 00:14:01,780
wooden house up the stairs so you have
259
00:13:59,769 --> 00:14:04,840
all these different surfaces I'll play
260
00:14:01,779 --> 00:14:28,449
the scene now this is 13 channels of
261
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:29,560
fooling playing later on the dubbing
262
00:14:28,450 --> 00:14:31,660
stage when they put this stuff together
263
00:14:29,559 --> 00:14:34,029
they can pick the sounds the best
264
00:14:31,659 --> 00:14:35,409
flatter the dialogue the production the
265
00:14:34,029 --> 00:14:37,059
music the Foley all of the other
266
00:14:35,409 --> 00:14:40,120
elements that are coming together at
267
00:14:37,059 --> 00:14:41,829
that point what may result may be a
268
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:44,639
composite of literally hundreds of
269
00:14:41,830 --> 00:14:44,639
tracks of sound
270
00:15:20,139 --> 00:15:25,460
now let's check out martial arts expert
271
00:15:22,789 --> 00:15:27,949
Billy Blanks a seven-time world champion
272
00:15:25,460 --> 00:15:30,410
Billy Blanks has made martial arts a
273
00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:33,610
lifelong study he's now applying this
274
00:15:30,409 --> 00:15:33,610
discipline to films
275
00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:44,240
what
276
00:15:49,620 --> 00:15:53,799
well the road that I had a bluff this
277
00:15:51,818 --> 00:15:55,899
was a character that was in the Vietnam
278
00:15:53,799 --> 00:15:58,479
War had a chance to go compete in the
279
00:15:55,899 --> 00:16:00,818
world championships and I did and uh you
280
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,159
know I'm where near fun in blood fist
281
00:16:00,818 --> 00:16:06,128
Billy had an opportunity to choreograph
282
00:16:03,159 --> 00:16:08,588
his own fight scenes working out the
283
00:16:06,129 --> 00:16:10,720
strategy for a scene like this then take
284
00:16:08,589 --> 00:16:14,040
weeks to make it seem real I lost but
285
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,040
you know that's the movies
286
00:16:33,220 --> 00:16:38,210
I think you choreographed martial arts
287
00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:40,820
fight by the angles of the camera and
288
00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:42,139
know what techniques were executed to
289
00:16:40,820 --> 00:16:46,010
the camera that makes it make the
290
00:16:42,139 --> 00:16:47,840
technique look better ah when I first
291
00:16:46,009 --> 00:16:49,370
started working on films I thought that
292
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,350
I could go out and throw a kick like a
293
00:16:49,370 --> 00:16:53,480
rhetoric in a fight but it's totally
294
00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:56,210
different never had to kick wider like
295
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:58,039
cowboy punches and my cowboy kicks you
296
00:16:56,210 --> 00:16:59,600
know he's not basically a traditional
297
00:16:58,039 --> 00:17:01,360
straight karate kick so everything had
298
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:04,910
to be a little more wider and
299
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:06,259
overemphasize I think the most important
300
00:17:04,910 --> 00:17:09,009
thing that mark sharks can teach a
301
00:17:06,259 --> 00:17:11,660
person period is disciplined and focused
302
00:17:09,009 --> 00:17:13,369
honey that's the key studying is an
303
00:17:11,660 --> 00:17:16,100
actor in the studies of martial arts
304
00:17:13,369 --> 00:17:18,289
basically by the same you know I think
305
00:17:16,099 --> 00:17:20,329
it's just goals you got a certain asst
306
00:17:18,289 --> 00:17:22,879
you got to set yourself a certain go if
307
00:17:20,329 --> 00:17:25,339
you if you set that goal try to reach it
308
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,140
you know coming to the gym trained every
309
00:17:25,339 --> 00:17:29,659
day you have to go back to class a train
310
00:17:27,140 --> 00:17:32,270
every day to be a good actor I'll go to
311
00:17:29,660 --> 00:17:34,400
acting class myself and if everything
312
00:17:32,269 --> 00:17:36,500
still goes the way it is I'm gonna
313
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,210
become an action star you know in the
314
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:40,279
way it's got right now it looks like
315
00:17:38,210 --> 00:17:42,799
it's unopened up hope it keeps calling
316
00:17:40,279 --> 00:17:44,690
that we look forward to seeing more
317
00:17:42,799 --> 00:17:49,129
action from billy blanks in many films
318
00:17:44,690 --> 00:17:52,970
to come here's one of today's busiest
319
00:17:49,130 --> 00:17:55,010
action directors mocked assault in the
320
00:17:52,970 --> 00:17:57,039
film death warrant the cell worked with
321
00:17:55,009 --> 00:17:59,599
martial artist Jean Claude Van Damme
322
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:01,670
like the heroes of most films of this
323
00:17:59,599 --> 00:18:03,889
genre van Dam is out for a vengeful
324
00:18:01,670 --> 00:18:08,090
justice and the villains who try to stop
325
00:18:03,890 --> 00:18:10,790
him find themselves in harm's way geez
326
00:18:08,089 --> 00:18:13,699
i'm a fan myself of martial offense I I
327
00:18:10,789 --> 00:18:15,619
was in love with Bruce Lee he was my
328
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:17,029
favorite and I think people like them
329
00:18:15,619 --> 00:18:19,609
because they it's like a ballet
330
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:21,529
sometimes watching watching fights with
331
00:18:19,609 --> 00:18:23,779
professionals
332
00:18:21,529 --> 00:18:25,519
doing their thing it's it's really
333
00:18:23,779 --> 00:18:27,200
interesting to watch it's exciting
334
00:18:25,519 --> 00:18:29,389
everybody likes a good fight if it's
335
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:32,720
done well you know rather than the old
336
00:18:29,390 --> 00:18:35,090
western movies were you know the it was
337
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,769
more of a joke but to make them look
338
00:18:35,089 --> 00:18:41,209
realistic I think it's very interesting
339
00:18:36,769 --> 00:18:44,359
for a lot of people the biggest thing
340
00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:46,100
about making a fight look realistic is
341
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:49,339
not so much throwing the punch it's
342
00:18:46,099 --> 00:18:51,500
taking the hip it's having it's reacting
343
00:18:49,339 --> 00:18:53,779
to the hit that makes the fight work and
344
00:18:51,500 --> 00:18:55,309
that takes timing and that's that's not
345
00:18:53,779 --> 00:18:57,079
something that you could just pick up
346
00:18:55,309 --> 00:18:59,509
even though you can be a great fighter
347
00:18:57,079 --> 00:19:02,240
oka and wash the oddest to be able to
348
00:18:59,509 --> 00:19:04,400
receive the hit is what sells the hit
349
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:09,410
and you have to have that timing just
350
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:10,730
down so it takes time to learn that in
351
00:19:09,410 --> 00:19:13,790
order to make the fights look very
352
00:19:10,730 --> 00:19:15,740
realistic you have to rehearse again and
353
00:19:13,789 --> 00:19:19,789
again so that the con some contact is
354
00:19:15,740 --> 00:19:21,730
made and yet it doesn't hurt you so that
355
00:19:19,789 --> 00:19:26,569
the camera angles are picking up the
356
00:19:21,730 --> 00:19:28,160
hits so between the choreography and the
357
00:19:26,569 --> 00:19:30,950
cameraman and the angles and the
358
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:36,279
individual fighters themselves it has to
359
00:19:30,950 --> 00:19:36,279
be timed very carefully and rehearsed
360
00:19:42,740 --> 00:19:46,950
critics have called it one of the
361
00:19:44,609 --> 00:19:49,888
greatest films of the 80s Martin
362
00:19:46,950 --> 00:19:58,350
Scorsese's Raging Bull the Syrian
363
00:19:49,888 --> 00:20:00,089
portray the boxer Jake LaMotta boxing
364
00:19:58,349 --> 00:20:02,879
films have been around since movies
365
00:20:00,089 --> 00:20:08,049
began to talk from the champ in the
366
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:13,240
1930s to raging bull and the rocky saga
367
00:20:08,049 --> 00:20:15,129
body and soul starring John Garfield in
368
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:18,329
these scenes the fighters really seem to
369
00:20:15,130 --> 00:20:18,330
be making contact
370
00:20:21,859 --> 00:20:26,539
this exceptional film is a gritty expose
371
00:20:25,099 --> 00:20:28,849
of the corruption in the flight game
372
00:20:26,539 --> 00:20:30,819
John Garfield's determination not to
373
00:20:28,849 --> 00:20:35,259
follow through on a fixed fight is
374
00:20:30,819 --> 00:20:35,259
reflected by the intensity in his eyes
375
00:20:51,329 --> 00:21:00,559
notice the realistic application of
376
00:20:53,700 --> 00:21:00,559
fight makeup guys crazy
377
00:21:00,779 --> 00:21:06,089
amateur
378
00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:06,090
I'm gonna come
379
00:21:06,500 --> 00:21:11,279
the great white hope adapted for the
380
00:21:09,450 --> 00:21:13,920
screen after a sensational run on
381
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:16,109
Broadway here the boxing took a backseat
382
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,120
to the story which offered a shocking
383
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:20,479
look into the real-life story of boxer
384
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,479
Jack Johnson
385
00:21:28,179 --> 00:21:33,460
the brilliant performance by a young
386
00:21:30,368 --> 00:21:36,329
actor named James Earl Jones instantly
387
00:21:33,460 --> 00:21:36,329
made him a star
388
00:21:49,890 --> 00:21:55,809
Jim Nickerson he's a guy whose stock in
389
00:21:53,440 --> 00:22:01,899
trade is to show two guys on a bang away
390
00:21:55,808 --> 00:22:04,658
at each other without getting hurt move
391
00:22:01,898 --> 00:22:06,819
over Pete right the potty left in the
392
00:22:04,659 --> 00:22:09,460
buddy you know what the fight seemed to
393
00:22:06,819 --> 00:22:11,740
be is always kind of the same way they
394
00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:13,870
were twenty thirty four years ago so
395
00:22:11,740 --> 00:22:16,990
it's trying to take the realism and put
396
00:22:13,869 --> 00:22:18,489
them into movie fights was the most
397
00:22:16,990 --> 00:22:20,980
challenging because everything always
398
00:22:18,490 --> 00:22:22,450
seems so staging and all due respect to
399
00:22:20,980 --> 00:22:24,069
John Wayne there was only one John Wayne
400
00:22:22,450 --> 00:22:25,960
punch and everybody tried to duplicate
401
00:22:24,069 --> 00:22:30,069
it and then it wasn't working anybody
402
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:31,480
test John Wayne now center right right
403
00:22:30,069 --> 00:22:35,109
in right of your lips cool buddy quad
404
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:37,710
Club go go to the head Oh catch that one
405
00:22:35,109 --> 00:22:39,908
there right and then hate his last 10
406
00:22:37,710 --> 00:22:42,340
number one it's all in the planning is
407
00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:44,649
the choreography is that how much time
408
00:22:42,339 --> 00:22:47,079
is loved to prepare everything's in the
409
00:22:44,648 --> 00:22:48,129
preparation see my main thing is making
410
00:22:47,079 --> 00:22:49,210
the actors making sure they're
411
00:22:48,130 --> 00:22:51,580
comfortable once they're all comfortable
412
00:22:49,210 --> 00:22:53,829
then I can put the camera in we can make
413
00:22:51,579 --> 00:22:55,148
magic okay that wasn't too bad but
414
00:22:53,829 --> 00:22:57,490
here's the problem now the right hand
415
00:22:55,148 --> 00:22:59,079
the one that he weaves you're just
416
00:22:57,490 --> 00:23:01,058
throwing it over here are you got to put
417
00:22:59,079 --> 00:23:02,829
it I'd like to put it on his left ear so
418
00:23:01,058 --> 00:23:05,558
this way he's got a reason to weep right
419
00:23:02,829 --> 00:23:07,720
now he's doing is just T just easy
420
00:23:05,558 --> 00:23:09,970
they're redirecting or bobbing right one
421
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,640
of the third love look it's not a true
422
00:23:09,970 --> 00:23:15,610
we've yet okay you have to give them the
423
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:18,038
form of a foundation of basics the
424
00:23:15,609 --> 00:23:19,959
mechanics of it balance it's like
425
00:23:18,038 --> 00:23:22,089
turning the volume up i'd like to get
426
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,659
after it much more i like to pace much
427
00:23:22,089 --> 00:23:29,589
more i like that go for it let me get
428
00:23:25,659 --> 00:23:33,000
after you type style okay
429
00:23:29,589 --> 00:23:33,000
sure that way
430
00:23:46,019 --> 00:23:51,509
the whole world is a film society is
431
00:23:48,750 --> 00:23:53,880
much more intelligent needs to be you
432
00:23:51,509 --> 00:23:56,190
can't fool the people on fights anymore
433
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:58,110
think I look real or they'll boo you out
434
00:23:56,190 --> 00:24:01,440
of the theater or turn your TV off on
435
00:23:58,109 --> 00:24:04,039
you here's a quick sampling of some of
436
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:06,750
the work of stunt master jim Nickerson
437
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:09,899
rocky the movie that reestablished
438
00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:12,150
boxing films as a box office giant fight
439
00:24:09,900 --> 00:24:15,710
choreography reached its peak in one of
440
00:24:12,150 --> 00:24:15,710
the greatest boxing films ever shot
441
00:24:17,940 --> 00:24:23,580
it's too long as far as a fighter was
442
00:24:20,398 --> 00:24:26,308
very raw in the beginning how I trained
443
00:24:23,579 --> 00:24:28,019
the storm was all about trial and error
444
00:24:26,308 --> 00:24:31,678
at the time I was pretty young when I
445
00:24:28,019 --> 00:24:33,659
did this show and um we hit it a good
446
00:24:31,679 --> 00:24:36,990
time timing was right but see we had a
447
00:24:33,659 --> 00:24:38,909
boxing a the technical advisor tried to
448
00:24:36,990 --> 00:24:40,528
teaching the mechanics of boxing and
449
00:24:38,909 --> 00:24:44,820
then I just took a little bit of that
450
00:24:40,528 --> 00:24:50,878
and took it into my system and things
451
00:24:44,819 --> 00:24:53,519
with the rest is history Stallone style
452
00:24:50,878 --> 00:24:55,888
as far as boxing was very similar to
453
00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:58,109
rocky Marciano's that anybody doesn't
454
00:24:55,888 --> 00:25:00,918
know that style it's let me take three
455
00:24:58,109 --> 00:25:00,918
to give you my one
456
00:25:06,599 --> 00:25:09,959
nice day
457
00:25:13,038 --> 00:25:19,618
John avildsen Academy award-winning
458
00:25:15,690 --> 00:25:22,470
director of rocky the first boxing film
459
00:25:19,618 --> 00:25:25,048
I ever did was rocky the first time ever
460
00:25:22,470 --> 00:25:29,639
saw a prizefight was when I got the job
461
00:25:25,048 --> 00:25:32,278
and went to see a fight I looked at a
462
00:25:29,638 --> 00:25:34,709
lot of fight films that had been made
463
00:25:32,278 --> 00:25:36,479
previously and I was struck by how I'm
464
00:25:34,710 --> 00:25:39,119
silly the boxing looked it didn't look
465
00:25:36,479 --> 00:25:40,229
real at all so I said okay if we're
466
00:25:39,118 --> 00:25:41,878
gonna do this we're gonna have to
467
00:25:40,229 --> 00:25:44,639
rehearse it a lot and we've got to start
468
00:25:41,878 --> 00:25:47,098
long before the movie begins so that the
469
00:25:44,638 --> 00:25:48,808
guys can learn how to do this so we'll
470
00:25:47,098 --> 00:25:50,819
look good because if it doesn't look
471
00:25:48,808 --> 00:25:52,408
good then why are we doing this so the
472
00:25:50,819 --> 00:25:54,178
first day we brought the sylvester
473
00:25:52,409 --> 00:25:56,159
stallone and Carl Weathers together into
474
00:25:54,179 --> 00:25:57,330
a ring one of them said okay now I'll do
475
00:25:56,159 --> 00:25:59,309
this and you know the other guys know
476
00:25:57,329 --> 00:26:01,408
I'll do this I said wait a second all
477
00:25:59,308 --> 00:26:03,210
right whatever you're gonna do write it
478
00:26:01,409 --> 00:26:05,099
out Sylvester why don't you go write it
479
00:26:03,210 --> 00:26:07,259
out whatever you'd like to do two left's
480
00:26:05,098 --> 00:26:09,269
are right in it and then we'll learn
481
00:26:07,259 --> 00:26:12,419
that so the next day he came back with
482
00:26:09,269 --> 00:26:15,089
32 pages of left's rights crosses jabs
483
00:26:12,419 --> 00:26:17,639
all this stuff and that's what they
484
00:26:15,089 --> 00:26:20,759
learned I saw John every once in a while
485
00:26:17,638 --> 00:26:22,978
and just we were working there you know
486
00:26:20,759 --> 00:26:24,839
the choreography out plus when it came
487
00:26:22,979 --> 00:26:27,538
to shooting it you know he'd taught me
488
00:26:24,839 --> 00:26:29,249
an awful lot he he I don't know if he
489
00:26:27,538 --> 00:26:31,618
knows it but he turned the lights on for
490
00:26:29,249 --> 00:26:33,419
me in a lot of areas during those four
491
00:26:31,618 --> 00:26:36,148
or five weeks they learned every left
492
00:26:33,419 --> 00:26:38,639
and right and cross and jab and could
493
00:26:36,148 --> 00:26:40,439
anticipate what the other guy was going
494
00:26:38,638 --> 00:26:42,569
to do so we had two things resulted from
495
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,369
that one we were able to shoot the movie
496
00:26:42,569 --> 00:26:47,788
in 28 days for less than a million bucks
497
00:26:44,368 --> 00:26:49,348
and two we had a crackerjack boxing
498
00:26:47,788 --> 00:26:51,528
sequence cuz the guys had gotten so good
499
00:26:49,348 --> 00:26:51,528
at it
500
00:26:51,538 --> 00:26:55,829
by this point in the fight Sylvester
501
00:26:53,788 --> 00:26:58,710
Stallone and Carl Weathers look like
502
00:26:55,829 --> 00:27:00,509
they've been through a war building
503
00:26:58,710 --> 00:27:02,759
momentum around after round is one man
504
00:27:00,509 --> 00:27:05,179
tries to hold on and another reaches for
505
00:27:02,759 --> 00:27:05,179
his dreams
506
00:27:22,220 --> 00:27:28,360
let's find out from par weathers how he
507
00:27:24,349 --> 00:27:31,459
got the coveted role of Apollo Creed I
508
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:34,399
went in I read one afternoon late on a
509
00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:36,860
Friday and i SAT there and I give my I
510
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,630
gave my best reading and I've told this
511
00:27:36,859 --> 00:27:40,308
story so many times its beginning but
512
00:27:38,630 --> 00:27:41,750
anyway sylvester stallone singer he's
513
00:27:40,308 --> 00:27:43,730
reading and he was introduced to me as
514
00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:46,250
the writer and nobody said he's gonna
515
00:27:43,730 --> 00:27:48,470
also star in the picture so i finished
516
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:50,089
tonight felt like you know it's my one
517
00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:52,250
opportunity it's like an actor who walks
518
00:27:50,089 --> 00:27:53,480
on the set he's only gonna be there for
519
00:27:52,250 --> 00:27:55,308
a day and you're gonna be there for
520
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,259
eight weeks or 10 weeks well you know
521
00:27:55,308 --> 00:27:59,029
you have to kind of stay into it this
522
00:27:57,259 --> 00:28:01,640
guy gives everything he's got right I
523
00:27:59,029 --> 00:28:04,220
give everything I had slicer looked up
524
00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,990
everyone hmm and I turned to the
525
00:28:04,220 --> 00:28:07,909
director John I ethnicity you know if
526
00:28:05,990 --> 00:28:09,409
you get me a real actor get me an actor
527
00:28:07,909 --> 00:28:12,289
I can really do this part good I can
528
00:28:09,409 --> 00:28:14,510
well so I looked at me as he does and
529
00:28:12,288 --> 00:28:16,339
probably were saying this idiot you know
530
00:28:14,509 --> 00:28:18,740
I'm the star of the picture he wants a
531
00:28:16,339 --> 00:28:21,319
real actor anyway he was very generous
532
00:28:18,740 --> 00:28:23,630
and I got the part watching a boxer's
533
00:28:21,319 --> 00:28:26,089
face change through the course of a film
534
00:28:23,630 --> 00:28:28,429
or the course of a fight is an important
535
00:28:26,089 --> 00:28:30,349
ingredient in storytelling Michael
536
00:28:28,429 --> 00:28:33,860
Westmore the man who created makeup
537
00:28:30,349 --> 00:28:36,889
special effects for Rocky one of the
538
00:28:33,859 --> 00:28:40,250
biggest challenges up to the rocky film
539
00:28:36,890 --> 00:28:42,950
at that time in 75 was the fight
540
00:28:40,250 --> 00:28:45,140
sequences because it was going to go 15
541
00:28:42,950 --> 00:28:47,870
rounds it wasn't just getting hit once
542
00:28:45,140 --> 00:28:49,190
and have a bruise on the eye and then
543
00:28:47,869 --> 00:28:51,349
have it more or less disappear a little
544
00:28:49,190 --> 00:28:53,480
bit they actually had to grow and be
545
00:28:51,349 --> 00:28:54,649
choreographed and I took a plane flight
546
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:57,679
from here to New York and I took me the
547
00:28:54,650 --> 00:29:00,080
whole plane flight to work it out to the
548
00:28:57,679 --> 00:29:03,919
point where you'd say he's going to get
549
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:05,839
hit under the right eye and you're gonna
550
00:29:03,919 --> 00:29:07,730
get a little swelling out of it and then
551
00:29:05,839 --> 00:29:09,829
he's gonna get hit over the left eye and
552
00:29:07,730 --> 00:29:11,538
that is gonna have to start growing a
553
00:29:09,829 --> 00:29:12,859
little bit so when the left eye starts
554
00:29:11,538 --> 00:29:14,359
growing the right eye starts getting
555
00:29:12,859 --> 00:29:18,019
bigger and then the top of this I in
556
00:29:14,359 --> 00:29:20,658
that I so you have three five six seven
557
00:29:18,019 --> 00:29:23,089
different sizes underneath and I and
558
00:29:20,659 --> 00:29:26,240
over the top of an eye so by the end of
559
00:29:23,089 --> 00:29:28,869
the fight the eyes are basically swollen
560
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:30,799
shut again she doesn't got open my eye
561
00:29:28,869 --> 00:29:32,689
coming back
562
00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:35,450
don't wake up one of the most memorable
563
00:29:32,690 --> 00:29:37,759
scenes I think in the fight in Rocky is
564
00:29:35,450 --> 00:29:39,860
course the cutscene and we did it in one
565
00:29:37,759 --> 00:29:41,240
take and we had the swirl and I there we
566
00:29:39,859 --> 00:29:43,699
had the little blood we had the razor
567
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:49,279
and everything and the timing had to be
568
00:29:43,700 --> 00:29:50,720
absolutely perfect on it this is a
569
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:52,369
little mechanism right here which is a
570
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:54,650
razor of the tube and the blood was in
571
00:29:52,369 --> 00:29:58,069
it and Louie look at the picture here we
572
00:29:54,650 --> 00:30:00,200
have the full piece on the eye and this
573
00:29:58,069 --> 00:30:02,689
is al sylvanie who was actually a real
574
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:05,059
cut man in boxing and I'll held this in
575
00:30:02,690 --> 00:30:07,460
his hand and he would just take and draw
576
00:30:05,059 --> 00:30:09,529
across the I like that and as he would
577
00:30:07,460 --> 00:30:11,569
do it he would just pull the plunger and
578
00:30:09,529 --> 00:30:17,750
it would lay the blood streaming right
579
00:30:11,569 --> 00:30:19,579
across the advil still own ways that
580
00:30:17,750 --> 00:30:21,470
into the realism of what we were doing
581
00:30:19,579 --> 00:30:23,899
that he didn't want to just fake it with
582
00:30:21,470 --> 00:30:25,339
a makeup which is two-dimensional he
583
00:30:23,900 --> 00:30:29,360
wanted to use a third dimensional plane
584
00:30:25,339 --> 00:30:32,599
to be able to work with on the first few
585
00:30:29,359 --> 00:30:34,819
days of rocky we were traveling around
586
00:30:32,599 --> 00:30:39,109
in a Winnebago in Philadelphia we were
587
00:30:34,819 --> 00:30:41,960
making jokes about Rocky meets Bonzo you
588
00:30:39,109 --> 00:30:44,750
know rocky flies to the moon with really
589
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:47,299
no idea that the rocky saga would
590
00:30:44,750 --> 00:30:50,420
continue for the period that it has with
591
00:30:47,299 --> 00:30:52,129
the popularity has and the type of money
592
00:30:50,420 --> 00:30:53,840
that a film like this would would bring
593
00:30:52,130 --> 00:30:56,150
in because boxing films were not popular
594
00:30:53,839 --> 00:30:59,059
at that point but he was able to take a
595
00:30:56,150 --> 00:31:01,180
boxing film and put you know life into
596
00:30:59,059 --> 00:31:01,179
it
597
00:31:02,140 --> 00:31:08,000
this is the prime example of how far
598
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:11,000
boxing films have evolved Raging Bull
599
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:18,109
the most realistically brutal fight film
600
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:20,240
ever made being involved with Bobby De
601
00:31:18,109 --> 00:31:22,129
Niro and the Raging Bull was one of the
602
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:26,210
greatest things that I was ever part of
603
00:31:22,130 --> 00:31:29,150
um I didn't know at the time that it was
604
00:31:26,210 --> 00:31:32,329
gonna be as good as it was but I was
605
00:31:29,150 --> 00:31:35,690
glad just to be involved in Bobby he was
606
00:31:32,329 --> 00:31:38,089
he was a real fighter just watch and
607
00:31:35,690 --> 00:31:39,950
listen to these punches every time De
608
00:31:38,089 --> 00:31:42,279
Niro hits the other fighter it seems to
609
00:31:39,950 --> 00:31:44,900
land with the force of a sledgehammer
610
00:31:42,279 --> 00:31:46,730
one can really appreciate the opponent's
611
00:31:44,900 --> 00:31:52,550
skill and timing in reacting to the
612
00:31:46,730 --> 00:31:54,829
punches De Niro throws he he would he
613
00:31:52,549 --> 00:31:56,240
would I sparred with him and I tell you
614
00:31:54,829 --> 00:31:57,949
something I've been in with some champs
615
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,480
some world champions and eight minutes
616
00:31:57,950 --> 00:32:07,039
how hit as hard as I've been hit with
617
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:09,589
him as Jake LaMotta he he trained to the
618
00:32:07,039 --> 00:32:12,710
point when we shot the fight films that
619
00:32:09,589 --> 00:32:14,629
the fight advisors that we had around us
620
00:32:12,710 --> 00:32:17,509
said that he was so well trained that he
621
00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:20,980
could probably go into lower divisions
622
00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:20,980
of boxing and probably win
623
00:32:22,819 --> 00:32:27,149
working with Robert De Niro was a real
624
00:32:25,380 --> 00:32:31,200
pleasure it's a questions been asked me
625
00:32:27,150 --> 00:32:32,910
by many actors because he his volume of
626
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,850
work is so big the characters he's done
627
00:32:32,910 --> 00:32:38,970
and they want to know people want to
628
00:32:35,849 --> 00:32:40,469
know who is the real De Niro and i think
629
00:32:38,970 --> 00:32:42,808
i can honestly say when it's all over
630
00:32:40,470 --> 00:32:53,279
with i don't think anybody knows the
631
00:32:42,808 --> 00:32:57,119
real dinero he got his weight down to
632
00:32:53,279 --> 00:33:01,170
152 pounds and when we broke for lunch
633
00:32:57,119 --> 00:33:02,879
he would go workout instead of eating he
634
00:33:01,170 --> 00:33:06,269
was that dedicated his body probably
635
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:10,020
will never get down to that weight into
636
00:33:06,269 --> 00:33:13,710
that that muscle tone again the rest of
637
00:33:10,019 --> 00:33:15,990
his lifetime and then it was so strange
638
00:33:13,710 --> 00:33:19,160
because after that he had to go through
639
00:33:15,990 --> 00:33:23,370
a weight gain process he started to eat
640
00:33:19,160 --> 00:33:25,200
glazed doughnuts and pasta and malts it
641
00:33:23,369 --> 00:33:27,029
have a dozen glazed donuts delivered in
642
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:29,160
the morning we even built a rubber
643
00:33:27,029 --> 00:33:31,740
stomach form he outgrew the stomach
644
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:34,620
before we could ever use it he weighed
645
00:33:31,740 --> 00:33:37,980
215 pounds by the time we hit New York
646
00:33:34,619 --> 00:33:39,959
to do the final work it was interesting
647
00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:41,849
because there wasn't really so much of a
648
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,140
personality chain right and change or
649
00:33:41,849 --> 00:33:45,990
anything like that it was like something
650
00:33:43,140 --> 00:33:51,900
that he had to do for the character and
651
00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:54,029
it was marvelous scenes like this helped
652
00:33:51,900 --> 00:33:56,790
win thelma Schumacher an Academy Award
653
00:33:54,029 --> 00:33:58,859
for editing then quick cuts in tight
654
00:33:56,789 --> 00:34:01,349
close-ups of spraying blood and flailing
655
00:33:58,859 --> 00:34:04,069
arms give the fight a gritty violent
656
00:34:01,349 --> 00:34:06,129
field unparalleled in boxing films
657
00:34:04,069 --> 00:34:06,129
you
658
00:34:14,918 --> 00:34:20,449
Howard rocky for Stallone faced a
659
00:34:18,260 --> 00:34:27,589
powerful Russian boxer played by Dolph
660
00:34:20,449 --> 00:34:29,418
Lundgren like when I got the part I
661
00:34:27,588 --> 00:34:32,358
didn't know what it happened I had a
662
00:34:29,418 --> 00:34:33,918
store for me I just you know sometimes
663
00:34:32,358 --> 00:34:35,088
you did not really wear that because I
664
00:34:33,918 --> 00:34:37,908
didn't know the business I didn't know
665
00:34:35,088 --> 00:34:40,190
the exposure i was gonna get so i just
666
00:34:37,909 --> 00:34:43,128
looked at it I said the way of paying my
667
00:34:40,190 --> 00:34:44,628
bills when I started working with
668
00:34:43,128 --> 00:34:46,128
stallone and I was a kid you know I
669
00:34:44,628 --> 00:34:48,588
didn't know anything about anything in
670
00:34:46,128 --> 00:34:51,279
this business and obviously he is a top
671
00:34:48,588 --> 00:34:54,139
guy to learn from physically he was
672
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:55,760
burgers shape I was an athlete at the
673
00:34:54,139 --> 00:35:00,260
time so I was pretty good shape myself
674
00:34:55,760 --> 00:35:03,410
and before the rocket film I was a
675
00:35:00,260 --> 00:35:05,240
martial artist since I was 15 and I knew
676
00:35:03,409 --> 00:35:07,449
a little bit about boxing but I had to
677
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:09,789
adjust my style according to the
678
00:35:07,449 --> 00:35:12,088
character I was playing the way to your
679
00:35:09,789 --> 00:35:12,088
spider
680
00:35:14,130 --> 00:35:22,360
the actual fight scene was choreographed
681
00:35:17,219 --> 00:35:25,269
we had a 50 page script with left right
682
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:29,099
left hook right cross and so forth so
683
00:35:25,269 --> 00:35:32,099
that took about five months to practice
684
00:35:29,099 --> 00:35:34,089
for the fight and rocky for was
685
00:35:32,099 --> 00:35:35,650
obviously it's not completely
686
00:35:34,090 --> 00:35:38,079
choreographed you're trying to avoid
687
00:35:35,650 --> 00:35:39,760
getting hit but you don't want to make
688
00:35:38,079 --> 00:35:41,679
it a bloodbath out there you know but
689
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:45,760
you're you do get hit a little bit
690
00:35:41,679 --> 00:35:49,000
especially to the body I had some
691
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:53,920
injuries in Rocky Horror you know small
692
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:55,780
things bruises cuts strains a couple of
693
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,960
little bit of a headache course in a
694
00:35:55,780 --> 00:35:57,960
while
695
00:36:18,519 --> 00:36:24,050
yes well it's over for us as well so see
