![]() ![]() The scene where Uwais’ lead character searches for sanctuary in a "civilian" room within the building features one of the most exciting hallway fights in the movie. Aided by actor Iko Uwais’s real-life martial arts skills, much of the fight sequences are shot head-on and with minimal cuts, as good hallway fight scenes ought to be. There is very little talking and a lot of wince-inducing fistfights. Given this setting, the entire movie is more-or-less an extended hallway fight sequence. ![]() The movie, a modern cult classic, is a simple and glorious action flick about a police squad that conducts a raid on a building that acts as a gang stronghold. The Indonesian movie The Raid: Redemption is one such example of a uniquely Asian subgenre of action that can be described as a pre- John Wick movie in the way it does away with needless plot elements. But when more goons appear, he stands himself up and continues fighting.Īided with a wanton disregard for pointless rules, Asian cinema has made leaps in genre filmmaking, creating many unique forms of common film genres. That said, I dont think his arrival deflated the tension either. Before the scene is half-way done, we see Daredevil fall to the ground in apparent exhaustion. Of course, Star Wars also got its own popular hallway scene when Darth Vader mowed through a squad of Rebels in Rogue One: a Star Wars Story, and now Darth Maul gets his very own, very brutal, hallway scene. The problem was that I felt that luke was put there only for fan service because they chose to make a hallway scene of all things, thus mirroring probably the most fan service-y moment in all of star wars. The fight is a painful one to witness - the characters maneuver in a slow and unwieldy way, visibly reeling under the pain of earlier blows. Daredevil makes his way through the corridor fighting an entire group of criminals while searching for a kidnapped boy. ![]() The entire scene is a single take lasting about three minutes, illuminated by a neon-green light. But the very first one, appearing in the second ever episode of Daredevil, is one to remember. This characterization was perfectly established in the first hallway fight scene of the series, and the entire Defenders line of MCU series would go on to feature a few more of them. But what defined him as a superhero was his will to keep going despite all the injuries. Like a regular person, he would take blows and buckle under them. Its version of the titular hero, portrayed by Charlie Cox, was a grounded character who made his way through sheer grit rather than some superpowered invincibility. The MCU series Daredevil remains close to the audience’s hearts because of its beautifully unique style and vision. ![]()
