I love how good Gui is at encouraging his fellow stuntmen to talk, when it's clear they're not very confident actually _speaking_ in front of a camera, rather than fighting & falling.

I love how this channel, no matter how skilled the Corridor Crew is(Gui at this point is Corridor Crew) always invites people they're actually fans of. Like there's nothing but humility and legit curiosity at play whenever they have guests.

Drunken Master 1 (1978) Jackie was 23, Druken Master 2 (1994) he was 40. Jackie Today is 70 born in 1954.

Love how Gui is just so glowing about Anis. So supportive of each other

That Tron clip makes me want a "composers react series" where you talk about music in film.

The Man from Snowy River stunt is performed by the actor, not a double. However, all the trees on that slope were dug up and replanted at a 20 degree lean, the actor was trained to lean right back in the saddle, and the camera was angled to match the vertical.
This doesn’t take away at all from what is an excellent practical effect and an impressive stunt performance by Tom Burlinson.

STOP ACCEPTING SPONSORSHIPS FROM BETTERHELP!

*Rinzler acting* : Not only the amazing gymnastics, but when he catches the disc, and then moves slightly to be locked and ready to go. That's great acting ( like when Henry Cavill resets his arms in the MI fight )

[MythicDiamond]

THE FACT I LOVE TRON LEGACY AND NEVER KNEW THE NAME OF RINZLER’S ACTOR IS CRAZY TO ME. THANK YOU ANIS FOR THE AWESOME PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE

I’d so love to see a prop department react. I know Scott prop and roll would surely be down, but it would be amazing to see more prop work. Love your stuff

[sunnyleatham]

Niko really shows how good he is an interviewer in this episode. Awesome stuff. Love seeing Gui back too!

[SINQUEFIELD]

Wrestling entertainment is stuntmen that work in front of a live audiences. I am sure there are some people who might want to joke about that type of wrestling, but those wrestlers deserve a lot more respect and recognition.

Just a minor correction, Niko mentioned Michael Bay directed the live action TMNT, but it was Jonathan Liebesman.

[LokiDWolf]

To know he played Rinsler in Tron is so awesome! He was my favorite character and just helped renew the Tron world big time! He did an amazing job!!!

[stack_the_ripper]

need more stuntmen react in my life! Gui is the man, he should be on at least 1 episode a month, and would love to see Eric Linden come back.

A significant difference between the two drunken fights is that Jackie Chan was using a specific style that was established in the original Drunken Master (1978), the Eight Drunken Immortals technique:
Lu Dongbin = the drunkard w/ inner strength [Jackie also plays him in The Forbidden Kingdom under the character's birth name]
Zhang (Chan) Gualao = the drunkard w/ the swift double-kicks
Lan Caihe = the drunkard w/ the sudden deadly waist attack
He (Ho) Xiangu = the drunken woman flaunting her body
Li Tieguai = the drunken cripple w/ the powerful right leg
Han Xiangzi = the drunken flute player w/ the powerful wrists
Cao (Tso) Guojiu = the drunkard w/ the powerful throat lock
Zhongli (Jun) Quan = the drunkard holding a pot in his arms
Drunken Boxing itself is a subset of many styles of ancient kung fu, but JC was the one that made it iconic in the modern world.

Love how humble and softspoken Anis is, then you see him jump six feet in the air like it’s nothing

[jonathan__g]

I am glad to see that Gui is back on the couch. I've missed seeing some "Stunmen Reacts"

[BornIn]

Niko "This is the first mutant ninja turtles film"... 1990 gives him the side eye

[jacobluden]

I need an entire episode just dedicated to them gushing over the climax of Ong Bak 1 or 2. 1 is awesome but 2 is insane with how many different styles he goes through.
