TheDevilAside Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 I don't think it's any particular style. Just flashy acrobatics. "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill
Mavado Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 I'm pretty sure I caught some Tai Chi in there somewhere. I'm surprised how good he is, even though he isn't that great. Thing is, he's a good actor, and usually the ability to fight seems to destory the ability to act. Keep watching the HawksKeep your eyes on the skyKeep walking the walkCause you're never gonna fly
Ironberg Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Accoding to the first Martix, various martial arts were "downloaded" into Neo's mind. I'm not sure what the Reeves actually trained in, but I'm hinting at a lot of Chinese arts. "An enlightened man would offer a weary traveler a bed for the night, and invite him to share a civilized conversation over a bowl of... Cocoa Puffs."
Mavado Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Probably, because that was a chinese guy that taught him. That chinese guy's students were awesome, too. Like, Grease lightin' Keep watching the HawksKeep your eyes on the skyKeep walking the walkCause you're never gonna fly
Kirves Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 The choreographer is a famous Hong Kong action film fight choreographer, so it is natural for the action to look Chinese.

ramymensa Posted June 29, 2004 Posted June 29, 2004 Nice Indeed there some of this great style involved in the action. And since the guys are helped with ropes and stuff I have no respect for them. The mimic the MAs so they are just actors. I have a different opinion on the guy from OngBak. I was impressed with his work. World Shotokan Karate
