Hollywood is a joke part MCMXVIII

Apparently fight movies are all the rage right now. The fight scenes in these movies are beyond ridiculous. All fights in movies are fake; gunfights in particular are absurd. But it's hard to find decent footage of actual gunfights on the internet. On the other hand, there's no shortage of quality videos of MMA fights. So you can compare what they're showing you in the movies to, you know, the genuine article. Which is nice if things like "facts" and "authenticity" appeal to you.

Here's the thing: Punches rarely land flush in most fights. When they do, if a huge guy (or even a small guy) punches you on the chin you will get knocked out and might not wake up for several minutes. In Hollywoodland it only makes you more angry (grrrrrrrrr!).

Also: You don't fight better after you've been stunned. You fight worse. And a good fighter doesn't knock you on the ground and then stand there to admire his handywork. He knocks you on the ground and then he gets on top of you and beats the shit out of you.
