[QUOTE="Houseman, post: 13855, member: 7"] It's the first fight scene in The Green Hornet (2011) where Kato runs across the trunk of a car. But there's an effect, where it "stretches out", and instead of just taking one stride and being on the other side, he takes multiple steps across multiple duplicate cars. (timestamped video) [MEDIA=youtube]OrP1F22IbE0:127[/MEDIA] Why? One can reach a faster top speed after taking multiple strides rather than just taking one, so maybe this is trying to say that Kato is doing this here. Through this visual technique, we can imagine him reaching his top speed in a short distance. But it's not literal, right? He doesn't have any sort of supernatural abilities. He isn't actually doing this. So, if we were an observer watching Kato do this without movie magic, like the guys that he beats up, what would we see? Do we just see him accelerate from 0 to top speed in one stride? Actually, the acceleration thing doesn't even make that much sense, because we see him slow down and change direction as he suplexes an opponent. So why? And also this effect happens again, in a different context, at 2:26 of the above video He kicks a guy, over the same boot that he originally ran over, and he flies several car-widths away. But not really, because he still lands on the trunk of the car, so it was actually not even one car-width. WHY??!?! What are they trying to portray here? [/QUOTE]
