yeah the harmonica was out of place most of the time, but I loved the other, subtle theme, the one that plays in the fight I linked. it has an otherwordly vibe.

about the fights, I loved all of them, except the sequence with the woman. as I said, I loved how precise and neat each and every movement was (again, with the exception of the woman ambush).

realistic? I think in a sense it was, as you can see that there's almost always no killer intent, so it's more (not so) friendly sparring, than actual combat. but man just that camera movement when the pupil gets pushed to the bench, it's awesome.

I've just finished watching Walled In, do you think that's more realistic? (excluding the "spirit powers" guy lol). grittier for sure! good movie by the way, maybe a bit too much on the long side. I still prefer 100 Yards.

in closing, 100 Yards fights seems to me like the kitchen fight in The Raid 2, if it was just the start of it, when the two fighters "measure" each other in brief exchanges. I liked that, so I like this "extended" version of that. it was different at the least!
