Knife Expert Breaks Down The Hunted Sayoc Kali Knife Scene with Tommy Lee Jones | Scenic Fights

There is a lot of things that happen in a Hollywood fight scene which effects the on screen action. First having to battle the stuntmen and what they want. Having to train actors with no MA background, dealing with directors who want a certain time frame to the fight and the story to be propelled and serviced through the fight. Balancing wardrobe, and script continuity, makeup and props. And then overall safety of lead actors. Well, you don’t always get to do everything you want or the way realities would dictate. It’s a process of figuring how to get as much good stuff into a big budget fight scene as possible with all those factors. We wanted to represent FMA as well as possible under those conditions.

"I'd start throwing garbage cans at people." That reminds me of a friend of mine. He was working at a strip club in Detroit and was taking the trash out to the dumpster in the alley behind the club at the end of the night when two guys tried to rob him, one armed with a knife the other had no weapon in hand. He was standing with the dumpster at his back, reached in, grabbed the first thing he got his hands on and threw it in the face of the guy with the knife. It turned out to be a stray cat. A stray cat that was now enraged at having been thrown in someone's face. While that guy screamed in pain and confusion as the cat bit and clawed his face the other one just turned and ran. My friend quickly dove back into the club, locked the door behind him and started yelling for the off-duty cop that worked security.

"If you are gonna be in a knife fight. . . RUN" Best part of the video.

As someone who does both MMA and kali/escrima knife fighting, I really appreciate watching both of these guys give the perspective from their different arts.

"This is a family show" made me laugh so hard, he said it in basically the bloodiest possible part.

"This is a family show" gets skewered through the chest

In defense of the first strike (to the back of the hand), I think it was a warning sort of "last chance to leave me alone" from Del Toro's character. It goes along with the story, as Jones' character was his mentor and the only person he ever trusted. Brilliant movie. This last scene was a bit more fantastical than necessary, but their first confrontation earlier on on the movie was much ore raw and realistic - in my humble opinion

Chad hurting Logan's feelings: the sharpest blade of all.

As someone who was once attacked with knife its very interesting seeing your channel. And btw my defense was running as fast as possible and than bit faster 😂 Cool scene breakdown

I requested this a while back, and I have been waiting on it. Thanks for delivering boys. My favourite realistic knife fighting movie.

I just commented wondering why this wasn't done yet but then after a specific search found this. You guys are great.... Love it

The Hunted movie is so underrated. I think the story in this movie is not bad. It show the effect of P.T.S.D. from the soldier passed the war and the performance of Benicio Del Tero in this film is great. His eye contact looks scared for something. The knife fight scenes in this film are great looks realistic.

Fell in love with this movie in first being introduced to it by my wife (yep). The technical aspects have always looked amazing I felt.

Logan: This is family show Chad: you’re the one attacking me with a knife for entertainment 😂

"These are two hurt people" Truer words have never been spoken. As well trained as these guys are, all of those knife slashes and stabs are going to catch up to you, especially when fighting on such uneven slippery terrain. And yeah, they are definitely feeling some emotional pain: Del Toro is suffering from PTSD to such a degree that he can't get out of that combat mindset. Jones is fighting a former student that he can't seem to reach and he has been thrust into this battle to the death and he admitted earlier in the film that he had never killed anyone before. So, I can only imagine what he might be going through emotionally. The way I figure it, their physical fatigue combined with their mental stress could account for some of the "mistakes" they make (if you want a story-based explanation). Plus of course, there are the real reasons, such as trying to make a knife fight last so much longer than it would in real life, among other production challenges.

I’ve wanted to see this movie for 18 years and couldn’t remember the name of it until I came across this channel. Looks awesome

Hunted is still one of my all time fav movies

Love the film. Very underrated gem. It hits all the right beats. Thank you for this breakdown.

I have been waiting for another video. And it was very good as always. Keep it on guys!

I was waiting for this video! I love that movie. Thank you so much for breaking through that scene!
