Things that you might do in real fight arent flashy enough for ENTERTAINMENT purposes. As for the wirework it's almost a genre convention for a certain type of Martial arts movie. When it shows up you know "oh it's that type of movie". Now this is coming from someone who really doesnt like wirework either but understands why it's there and if used properly can be very effective. Blasting a genre convention is like complaining about the fact that in the STAR WARS movies things shouldnt burn is space because there is no air or that there should be no sound in space because there is a vaccum or that using lightsabers to fight is unrealistic because someone should have cut their own head off with one long ago. It's genre convention if you dont like it that's understandable, I don't either but not because it's unrealistic but because it just doenst look right to me most of the time. Hell, unrealistic is one guy fighting like twelve guys at a time and coming out on top. I dont care what kind of martial art you know, it's pretty damn difficult to keep a large number of people from overrruning you, pinning you to the ground and pounding you into paste.</blockquote>
