pretty darn far.

 

i can't think of a single (gungfu) movie i've seen where i can say "yeah those fight scenes were totally realistic". some are more realistic than others of course, but let's face it- real gungfu isn't usually very pretty, and it doesn't translate to film real well.

the most realistic movie ive ever seen- for the most part- was kickboxer with jean claude van damme (you have to ignore the horrible shots with the guy jsut standing there and getting kicked, of course.) also, the action sequences in the bourne identity- the firts two ones where he tears into the cops, could actually work; assuming of course everyone was positioned right where they were. watch it in slow mo, its quite brilliant i think. thats about it- although the count of monte cristo comes to mind; it seemed pretty real, but i dont know much about fencing. oh! old kurasawa films werent too bad, like seven samurai.

Assuming the characters are supposed to be "masters" (and they usually are), and they're playing for keeps... I'd say if the combat itself lasts more than 7 seconds or so, it isn't realistic. Whoever screws up first dies.

 

Doesn't make for very exciting movie-making I guess.
