So this topic has come up before, but hasnt been discussed in depth. This scene is hands down my favorite fight scenes from the show. On all levels; functionality, ferocity, camera work and effective use of cuts...as well as an awesome homage to The Raid, one of mine and Bam Bam (arrows stunt coordinators favorite action films. I know Olivers character has evolved, and so has his approach to fighting crime, but Im of the opinion that of late, the action scenes seem to be much more about quick fast camera cuts and showy movements. Movements that look flashy but would not be effective in the real world. (Like comparing wushu to say, krav maga or Kali. Im curious to hear everyones input about this subject and if there was any push back from the CW to tone down the violence...as well as to enjoy a beautifully crafted fight scene!
