I wonder if the lightsabers they used for the propers were actualy fensing swords with saber grips? Some of thier posing and stance was fencing style. If they did all the sh*t themselves they clearly got some skills. And obviously no girlfriends ;D

Freaking impressive! Some of that had better choreography than the movies did.

The choreography is extremely good, the floor fight is incredible (the reverse-grip fighting i would've dropped). Unfortunately, while the choreography is great/amazing/excellent/dumbfounding, the acting behind the choreography is lacking. It looks more often than not like they are just going through the motions. that ruined it for me, sorry to say. their stances are a little too narrow, which hampers that too. their body language is more like they are walking through the fight, not fighting. follow me?

Yeah, it's impressive, but they need to work on the speed, physicality, and intensity of their performances.  Yes, stances way too narrow. Going through the motions.  They obviously have played around with things, but I can't see any martial arts training or fencing training here.  My guess is that they are LARPers or maybe have done some stage fighting or just like to fool around and have gotten good at it.

look for Ryan vs Dorkman II.  They did a much better job on it.

Yea, RvsD2 is a lot better. They even did wall marks on that one ;)

I agree completely - RvD2 was much better, and the one Dawg suggested was just as good. I liked the voiceover too.

I just wanted to show how they died.  It was funny.  Ryan dies because Dorkman snaps his fingers and the lightsaber turns on facing Ryan, and then Dorkman dies because someone was already holding a lightsaber at him and just turned it on as Dorkman turned around. 

It was hilarious.

OOh.. Ryans gonads have developed more for the second outing!  ;) It seems a bit more laboured than the first mind, and they're always a little too close for free flowing movement to occur - but good never the less.

RVD2 was awesome. Loved the wall and floor scoring, the actual injuries, and the choreography is pretty hot. Excellent stuff for a couple of geeks in a highschool. :thumbsup:

It was hilarious.

I laughed my butt off when I saw how Dorkman killed Ryan.  Had to book mark it to play it for my son, when I first saw it.  I have wondered why when close (at least a sith) why they didn't just turn on the lightsaber so the blade would kill the other guy.
