@trademoviespodcast: The coolest horse chase scene in all of movies IMO, and one of the coolest scenes in one of the best action movies of the 90s + all-time. “The Mask of Zorro” (1998), by Martin Campbell, is a perfect movie, one of my favorites. This is the first in a little mini-series that I want to do on it, since I watched it for the first time in few years, and it really feels like one of the last in a long line of handshake history and pure classic movie craft in Hollywood. We were on such a good trajectory with this stuff and then…CGI just kinda took so much away from it. That’s not to say that there haven’t been good action movies after this, but damn this movie is good. Shoutout to Tad Griffith, Casey O’Neill, and all the other stuntment that worked on this. Combined with the brilliant performances by Antonio Banderas, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Stuart Wilson, and Matt Letscher, it’s just…well, I love it. I could watch it again and again. There are also several other things about it that are just 🤌, so follow for more coming soon! #movietok #filmtok #horses #stunts #actionmovies #practicaleffects #trickriding

the 1993 Three Musketeers had some pretty cool fencing and stunts, unless that's just my nostalgia spraking.

What’d you think of the horse / dog stunt work in the Wick movies?

Mask of Zorro, The Mummy, and A Knight’s Tale are my perfect late 90’s/early 00’s action romance movie trio ✨

this is one of several problems with new Western movies. Not enough stunt riding!

I wonder if stuntspeople are more likely to be unionized, which makes studios want to save money by relying on CGI artists which typically aren't 😬

Have you seen The Good, the Bad, and the Weird? I feel like if you like this scene, there's a scene in that movie that you would love. It's the longest chase scene I've ever ever seen involving horses and cars. It's amazing. Korean western. highly recommend 👌

Yeah it was a brilliant movie, brilliant stunt riding but how about a word about the brilliant horses, can’t just use any horses for stunts or roman riding

Doing this kind of practical work requires a level of pre planning that lots of producers and directors are unwilling or under experienced at doing now. I’ve worked on action movies that barely had a shot list and you simply can’t get to this level on the fly
