Usually Rajini has got this action-hero image about him, which I think is disproportionate. Rajini does a lot of 'cool' gimmicks but just pure stunt choreography he is nowhere near Kamal.
There is not enough appreciation of that.
Latter day 'concept' based fights are (rightly) remembered: the blade-fight in Nammavar, Thevar magan silambam, toilet fight in MMKR (French fencer post :lol:) ..why even the umbrella fight in Anbe Sivam (which is not that good IMO).
But you really need to see the 80s films to see how much better he is. He generally has longer sequences without cuts. He takes lesser help from quick-cut-editing (not that that's a bad thing, but you kinda feel the overall punch is not there - early 90s Vijayakanth fights vs. post 2000 which is pretty much all gimmicks).
You can see Kamal channeling a lot of martial arts aesthetics. Some of them can't even be attributed to stuntmasters. For instance in the fight right after singAri sarakku in kAkki chattai : Kamal punches a guy, while he gasps for breath, a tired Kamal wipes his face, and then punches him again :lol:
And it would appear all in one quick flow. indha maadhiri paRpala chinna chinna vishayangaL.
this is getting outrageous... :roll:
I only said that Kamal's dance lacks fluidity and grace and looks forced, whether he is doing traditional or modern
somehow it got spinned-off as I saying Kamal cannot dance... :sigh2:
as for Rajni's performance, nothing to shout about... a newcomer like arulnidhi has such moments in his debut movie Mouna Guru, and that doesnt make him comparable to Kamal
Rajni = style. Period. He is not known for his acting prowess, except in the Hub I think... :think:
as a whole, the roped/flying fights in the last 10 yrs have made it really worse... i have already started thinking the 'dishyum' 'guffaa' fights looked much better and believable...
