If you know me, you know I\u2019m a fan of \u201ccovert\u201d fight scenes. Scenes where two people are fighting but they\u2019re both pretending that something else is going on. This one from Dreadnaught (1981) is one of the best.

By the way, the guy that choreographed this scene, later went on to choreograph The Matrix films, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Kill Bill.

Yuen Woo Ping is the choreographer btw

My sensei was a fight choreographer, “Hollywood fight choreographer” is in fact the apex of the martial arts instructor career path
