a question about telvison/movie fight scenes

[Todd-'o'-Vision]

When you have your opponent on thier back in a prone position.


Is it really neccesary to grab them by the collar and pick thier head and shoulders of the ground in order to punch them in the face once more?

 

[lilfrk]

Yes of course it is. Where have you been?

 

[red_rose]

Yes, it is.

the transfer of kinetic energy should you leave their head on the ground would, in all probability crack the side walk/pavement and at least three of the bones in your hand. yep, that's what would happen..

How else you gonna get two close-ups in one shot? Film's expensive, man.
