Quantum’s fight scenes did not copy the Jason Bourne movies!

When Quantum of Solace came out in theaters last fall, a lot of critics seemed to think that the fight scenes were just copying the Jason Bourne films (quick edits, sharp camera angles, and at times confusing action scenes)

This I do not agree with. The actual first film to ever have that kind of editing for an action film was 1969’s On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (a Bond film!)

Did this….

Copy this….

which actually copied this (skip to 3:40)…

I rest my case.

    I can’t help but notice a trend in Mikula’s posts.

    I haven’t seen Quantum yet, but these look pretty sweet. Bourne, eat your heart out.
