Snow in the Fury's fight

Post by JoeWalsh »

I just noticed something, during the fight the editing emphasizes Ajax and Swan heavily. We only see Snow a couple of times restraining one or two Furys. At the end we have two gratuitous shots of Ajax and Swan looking at each other but not Snow. I think he got shafted in that scene. Not like they could have won the fight without him.

Snow

I agree. I always thought he was left out of the fight by the camera. However, the point was probably to have Swan and Ajax prove to one another who was tougher...

I think it was more that they had been against each other all night and just a quick nod of respect between each other. They had respect for Swan anyway.

Snow is definitely short-changed in the fight with the Furies. Although I think it's correct that the fight was partially to show Ajax and Swan working together, they could have at least shown Snow hit a few of the many Furies. Maybe there's a shot or two on the cutting room floor?

However, as great as almost all the Warriors are with the fight with thw Punks (especially Cowboy making up for te Furies fight), Snow is definitely showcased well there and may be the star of that fight.

Snowball is deffinatley jipped in the Furies fight. It was shot like that to show Ajax and Swan working together for once. Snowball was probably smashed one or two more Furies after he grabbed the first one. He did have a bat in his hand after the fight.

It was all made up to him in the Punk fight. He breaks to bats over different guys and he kicks someone through a stool. Also if you watch the scene closly he only gets hit once, which I think is the only time he gets hit in the whole movie.

Snowball is always suttle and he never looks worried. I also like the fact that he hardly speaks and when he does he always says something good.

Yes, I think that's this the cause too.

Well, I suppose since Walter Hill knew that Ajax was meant to meet his downfall with the arrest, I guess the furies fight was given more to Ajax.  After all, he knew that we would not see Ajax again, thus showing off his skill.  Swan, became War Chief, and you know he can't be left out.  Its not like Snow was in Cowboy's position, and like everyone said, he steals the show with the punks fight.  By the way, notice how Snow gets in a few hits, as Ajax through the yellow furie over his head.
