Russell Crowe Hits with a "Missed" Back-fist in Robin Hood

Funny how stunt sequences can look so good on film, but the truth is there's more than meets the eye with them and if you play the scenes slowly, you'll see that they are not what they appear to be. Take this fight sequence in the movie Robin Hood directed by Ridley Scott.

You can see that Crow's back-fist strike is a clear miss. Sure, it's fast and with lots of water spray, but it's just a choreographed stunt that makes it appear that Crowe and his opponent are actually doing physical damage to each other. That's old-fashioned movie magic but the shortfalls cannot escape the magic of video that can be replayed and slowed down. Robin Hood also stars Max von Sydow, Cate Blanchett, and William Hurt.

Bad Guy Crashes Through Thin Doorway in The Spy Next Door

Hong Kong's Jackie Chan is in another action-comedy movie called The Spy Next Door. It's like The Tuxedo in which an ordinary guy gets to become a spy. But in this movie, Chan is already a spy, but he has to do his duty while babysitting for a neighbor.

While being a doting neighbor to the kids next door, Chan unknowingly gets them in danger when the naughty kids mistakenly downloads a code that the bad guys are after. They literally crash into the house and go after the kids. But the kids are ready for them with spy gadgets that make the tricks done in Home Along seem like, well, child's play.

In one scene, a kid use a force gadget on a big bad guy that sends him crashing through the bedroom doorway. You will notice in the sequence that the doorway wall is as thin as cardboard. Ideally, it should be several inches thick and made of concrete. But since this is a comedy movie, it's kind of acceptable, but not very realistic. Such a thin wall wouldn't really hold a door that's at least two inches thick along the borders.
