Epsiode 726 - Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning (2012), Scott Adkins, and Dolph Lundgren

Yeah, you know, I mean, ever since watching the training videos from the best of the best, I realized, like, you just can't use wooden bats for those fights.

Yeah.

They had a funny story about that.

So I was listening.

There was this hour-long Scott Adkins-led podcast episode where he talked to director John Hyams about Universal Soldier Day of Reckoning.

And they said the prop master quit after one day of work because they shot that scene and then they just kept breaking all the bats.

that she had come up with.

I guess everything just kept exploding because they corked these wooden backs.

So then they actually found a plastic-type bat.

And then sometimes they used the aluminum ones.

That's just a funny story.

And I love this movie, John.

Never use a wooden bat in a unisaw fight.

Yeah, you know, it occurs to me, there aren't really enough sporting goods fights, are there? I mean, Gremlins, it's really just a department store.

It kind of cusps through it.

And you get a tiny bit in that Bruce Campbell movie, Black Friday.

There's a tiny, tiny bit in...

Well, it's like a moment in Stuber.

It's really more of a gag with a crossbow and stuff.

But, like, that really is, like, a great... place for

for a fight

yeah

they should do a squid game inside of a sports authority there you go imagine

that or best pro shop a bass pro shop just just guns and lures and and poles and and and uh and boat motors john john john

I got it.
