minus-square@tigeruppercut@lemmy.ziplinkfedilink41•1 month agoIIRC the actors in Matrix did ~6 months of kung fu training, and Keanu did a ton of shooting training for John wick. Of course all the movie stuff is choreographed but it doesn’t mean there’s nothing behind it in all cases.
minus-squareskulblakalinkfedilink6•1 month agoThe Lord of the Rings cast also pretty famously trained with their weapons outside of just choreography At least Viggo did, I might just be misremembering John Rhys-Davies beating the ass off all the orc actors during choreography
