kendo with multiple attackers

[kendoindia]

Hello friends,
how many have seen the movie "TRANSPORTER 2" ?
what are your comments upon the kendo being shown in it, specially the men double tsuki & the vanishing act from under the "MEN"
waiting for your comments eagerly,
with regards:ninja:

that was the most unrealistic kendo fight. that kinda of protrayal is what draws students with unrealistic expectations. that guy was all over the place hitting the legs and arms. He even broke a couple of arms i think.

I really didn't think much of it. Hollywood bulls**t. I'd rather they did not drag kendo into their fantansy world.

pure crap crap crap........like we do have to expect hollywood to mess up things from time to time...its their nature :) ....that however was the single most awful bit of crap I have ever seen. ( Excluding that guy from "expert village" who does Kendo...Gotlin or some nonsense.....he's a close second) :)

Fun film. Really enjoyed it. The kendo scene was like all the other fights (hand/gun)..completely over the top, but very entertaining.

Yes I think so, too. I mean, honestly, who cares whether it's "proper" kendo? People who are interested in Kendo will quickly notice that it's not the real deal. And, above all, it's the bad guy, he has to act like that... :)

I agree with you,its always prtrayed in movies, but people get wrong information thru it,

i also thoroughly enjoyed watching him throw his shinai and kote away after the fight

That movie gave me an excuse to get IBB Titanium Mengane :laugh:. Otherwise, it is just fun movie. It is as believable as Mortal Combat.
