I want to do a deep dive on as many action scenes I can find that follow this basic outline:
a group of people try to arrest a person/target who seems outmatched
a fight breaks out
the target overpowers the attackers
Two examples are the Trinity arrest in The Matrix and the opening of Silverado at Emmett's house.
I just watched another movie with footage of a paramilitary team driving in close, bumper-to-bumper formation at speed. WTF?
I’ve lived in the DC area for almost 50 years. I see caravans of cars every now and then, but I have never seen one with cars spaced less than one length apart unless they are stopped at a light. At speed they all space normally from 4 to 8 lengths apart.
What am I missing here? Is the dangerously close driving just to create cinematic tension so the martial music in the background fits?
Saw this movie on HBO wayback 1999, the main protagonist is a lady who uses her bow and arrow as her weapon, she wears a sweater with Oregon written on it. At the end of the film she managed to shoot the leader of the crooks with an arrow as he is trying to board a cesna plane to escape.
