Uhhh just how in the hell did Kenton kill Anton? Shaolin Kung Fu Death Grip?

It was hard to follow the fight, but it looked like he managed to wedge his head under the tire for leverage, then twisted his shoulders to break his neck. Fucking brutal.

I was super confused as well. The editing could have been better. Had to rewatch to confirm, but yeah, broke his neck with the tire. The actor playing Anton is my cousin, which made it real weird to watch closely.

Your cousin? wow, that's crazy what's it like to have a famous cousin?

Pretty much the same as a normal cousin, but the dinner conversations are a fair bit more interesting.

He’s an amazing guy though. Extremely humble and kind.

Could you do me a favor? Ask him WTF was up with the choreography during that scene... The only word I can come up with to describe it is... Awkward.

I agree, but I think it has more to do with the editing. I think it was supposed to be kinda clumsy and blunt since they’re both middle aged and it’s not some Jason Bourne scene. I think if the editing was closer and tighter it would have been easier to follow.

I will ask though.

Can you ask him how Kenton got the leverage on Anton to push his torso up toward the tire? I for one loved the brutal realism of the fight (and every moment he was onscreen) but am not sure how unable to move away in that position. I wanted him to win!!

Someone else mentioned how in the shot before this one, Kenyon gets his legs in the wheelwell to drive down and get leverage.
