Question: 
What about Fighting?
 

Answer: 
 'He sure can fight' Conroy, the policeman, an ex-Green Beret, in CHOICE CUTS

"He is also an excellent shot with both a handgun and submachine gun, and can be relied on not to miss the bad guys in a shoot out. He also has very good reflexes and reaction times." eye-witness Jill Woolfenden, 15. März 2000

Evidence:
"BACK TO BUSINESS: railyard scene: shoots the head Mafiosi in the arm, then takes on the second thug - Sam being occupied with the first.

ORBIT: caravan fight scene

HOSTAGE: roof scene, when he takes out the two policemen.

SAMURAI WIND: takes out the two bad guys after Malone has dealt with Dane

MISS HIT: stops Abby

CHOICE CUTS: in the uncut version it is clear he takes out Conroy with one shot from a prone position

FIRST STRIKE: gets the first of the two soldiers back at the landing as well as his share of the others later on at the ambush

HIGH SPEED: takes his share of the bad guys in the derelict Bosnian building

GLORY DAYS: finishes off several bad guys on the ship and down behind the warehouse.

At the end of FIRST STRIKE when Stryker comes out of the woods and shouts to them he has his gun drawn and has turned to face the threat ahead of Sam and the deputy (though I'll admit only marginally!). But later when the gunshot (Stryker shooting himself) sounds, he has turned towards it before Sam and Backup have registered any reaction." eye-witness Jill Woolfenden, 15. März 2000



Comment:
A lot can be said about fighting. It is the ultimative resort, when it comes to a conflict. And it is - even in our domestized time - always not far away, and very near the surface: Look in the newspaper, view a short part of todays tv-programme. And fighting can be more. The Fighting Game, Fighting as Poetry: "Good action can be like poetry in motion - I love watching Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan fight sequences." (Susan Morden) When it comes to a "professional" fighter like Chris, or Sam, more questions come to my mind, which they should answer...
