Best and Worse Usage of Bullet Time

**Regus** · 16 Apr 2003, 01:28 AM

What do you think is the best, or worse post Matrix usage of bullet time?

For best, I guess I have to go with The One, that first fight between Jet and all those cops was amazing. And for worse, that would have to go to Charlie's Angels, and didn't Resident Evil have it as well?

I thought X-Men used it pretty well in a subtle way with Jean Grey's telekenisis. I'd vouch for The One too but I forgot alot of stuff in it. Witchblade used it in a pretty cool way too in the motorcycle jumping/shootout which Charlie's Angels 2 ripped off even though it was a tv series.

Worse I can't say, maybe that cow in the unfunny Kung Pow movie.

Best: Matrix.

Worst: Everything else.

The one in swordfish was cool.

Worst: The Matrix.

Um, POST-Matrix use of bullet time... Read the original post.
Best- X-Men
Worst- Can't think of anything else that's used it.

Well, Regus I agree with you on The One. The police station asault but Yu Law at the beginning was awesome, and so was his bullet reflecting shootout at the hospital.

Matrix is the ORIGINAL source. Anyone who says they were used BAD in Matrix, doent know what they are talking about.

What bullet time Xmen had? I cant really remember any?

Recently there were few scenes of BT in Bulletproof Monk, which were rather unimpressive.

I have to agree with The One as well. That cop fight in the beginning you mention was fucking awesome, with the cops moving in slow motion and Jet still moving normal/fast speed. I loved how he'd toss the cops, then catch up to them while they were flying in slo-mo and kick them out of the air. That was an amazing visual.

Worst use? Kung-Pow: Enter the Fist and Scary Movie 2.
