I’m cynical enough to think that my first overall will be taken first overall.
Or perhaps egotistical to have FCP affirm my opinion.
Bro I’m consternating hard right now.
I really wanna go with a personal romantic pick but there are 2 blue chippers on my mind and I want them both.
I know you and Risky are itching so I’m putiing myself on a 10 min clock to pick and will finish the write up after posting.
Time to roll the dice and regret your decision no matter what you choose

Coincidentally the name of my next short film! It unfortunately will not release in time to be eligible for this draft.
While you wait I have a Deuce Willis trivia question for you.
What is his most rewatchable movie?
With the 1st overall pick in the 2021 Movie Fight Scenes Draft Team FunCrusherPlus selects:
A watershed moment for fight scenes in the late nineties and going forward. Copied in a handful of other notable films and also part of the tapestry of 90’s art house cinema that was a catalyst for more realism in movies.
A man with nothing to lose and a got damn hammer. Those jazz horns of desperation. The truest of grit.
Yeah, this is the 1.

And it was taken first overall.
Oldboy hallway scene is in IMO the best fight scene ever.

Hard to argue with that at #1 imo
The One True #1 is incoming
Excellent pick! Make sure to @ whoever is on the list after you.
Which is me, so no worries this time.

Have to suspect that “The One” is formatted to send a certain hint. ;)

Must be why the writers gave me the first pick.

There are some hidden gems that’ll pop up but some scenes are so brilliant that I can’t see them getting past the first round unless y’all haven’t heard of the movies.
This draft was a really awesome idea. I don’t have the idea bank on this one that you do but more are popping into my mind as we discuss.

If you want a supreme fight, you need a Supreme Being.
This scene is ELITE. The music is great, Leeloo’s multi-pass lets her kick ass whenever and wherever, and did I mention there’s a blue alien singing techno-opera?
For the second but overall #1 pick of the draft, Team Frisky takes Leeloo Fights the Mangalores from The Fifth Element.

Lol if a single person picks a Jet Li movie
before me
Yeah this is a facemelter
It’s honestly pretty terrible action wise imo. It’s short, involves next to no effort by the enemy and little athleticism beyond the excessive flipping from the character. It was boring to me.
The music is okay though it diverts rather than adds to the fight. It neither creates excitement nor adds suspense. It isn’t even in step with the action. Seems like the director thought, “It’d be cool if there was opera” and then did it without further thought.
Sorry for shitting on the pick so much. I’m just stunned that it was picked
