One savage punch
Back in the 1990s, it was a great challenge to make fighting and action sequences look realistic, so we grimace now when we see old movies and see how badly they did it. There’s a scene in Titanic where Rose clocks a crewman who’s attempting to pull her to safety. In her defence, she was attempting to inform him that someone was trapped, but he just replied, “It’s okay.” “It’s fine,” he says, dragging her away. We see blood on his hands (but not on his face) as she strikes him, and when he “wipes” his face with his bloodied hand, the blood rubs off on his face, making him appear to be bleeding. It was a good attempt, but it wasn’t particularly successful.
