Baahubali 2
GOT who?
LOTR what?… I am not entirely sure what just happened. Exploding balls of men with shields catapulting from palm trees. A man just sliding around this invasion on his shield, then Captain America-ing like 10 dudes with it.
Bollywood effects departments are having way too much fun.
I have no idea what I just watched but I am 100% on board.
OH OH OH I HAVE A STORY TO ADD TO THIS.
So I’ve had the pleasure of working in the armory dept of a Bollywood Film, and got to spend a lot of time hanging out with the Indian crews.
Basically, the effects are so outlandish because “ITS THE MOVIES, WHY NOT” and because it’s a lot of fun to come up with these silly cartoony things and figure out how to film them.
They actively try to out-do each-other to see who makes the silliest thing happen. It’s great.
AMAZING
I realize this scene looks completely cheesey and dumb but seriously…
Bahubali is like, a fucking amazing movie. It’s on Netflix. Watch the hell out of that shit
Okay but like, the one cannonball made of dudes hitting the side of the fortress instead of making it over has me CACKLING!
