Prestoff 04/27/23 3:19:13 PM #18:	Doing a good Martial Arts movie is hard to film is the main reason why. One thing you'll notice with a lot of Western Action movies is that they always tend to shake the camera, have characters fight in dark lighted environments, do a lot of cutaways editing, cgi reliant, etc. This is why movies like John Wick stand out from the crowd because not only do the action scenes look great but you can also follow along with it as well. --- DI MOLTO! <cite>Prestoff posted [p:973113199] in What happe...
