Subject: Martial arts scene
In one scene, Darren threw a punch in the direction of a Wing Chun pracitioner,
stopping before contact was made. The practitioner doubled up, as if he had
acutally been punched. This may well have been merely an instinctive reaction
to the sight of an incoming punch.
What is harder to explain, however, is why this student went down at exactly
the moment Darren repeated his 'punch' when he went behind the student and
repeated the exercise. As Darren was stood behind the student when the 'punch'
was thown, there is no obvious way the student could have known at what precise
moment the movement was executed. It seems, therefore, that his reaction
cannot be explained in terms of it being a normal reaction to a feigned punch.
Does anyone know how Darren might have achieved this effect?
Regards
Jeff
