Why is it that in films when people are doing weights they always seem to do endless reps lol

Apparently, endurance is a better attribute than strength.
To the general public, that is.
Here’s one that came to mind where it felt almost real (in the contest of the movie, where Bruce’s character is like a real-life super hero)
Ron Burgundy can do thousands.
Cheers Nards.
Kinda understand why they removed it, general public might not have thought that was impressive.
Must be those actors slacking again.
“Take 23.”
“Max effort rack pull scene, and… ACTION!”

That scene always gives me goosebumps. Probably one of the most quietly powerful films ever made. So many great ingredients make it a masterpiece, IMHO. Definitely Shyamalan’s best film.
The only things that bugged me about that scene:
The wimpy collars
The suicide grip

Loved the movie but I have never seen that scene before. Quietly powerful is a good description.
I liked the suicide grip…it’s hardcore, yo. Actually, I have no opinion one way or the other.
And, if i was one of the players I would have been cheering my ass off, after I got over the shock.
That’s odd. I remember that scene in the film. Was it only on the DVD (that’s what I watched)?

Yeah, pretty sure it’s only in the directors cut.

The scene I linked to is a deleted scene which takes place after the scene that WAS in the movie that you are probably remembering, where he benches at home with his son and they end up needing more weight so they even hang paint cans off the ends.

I’m not sure if I’m angry about leaving 495 on the bar or not. Normally I would say rack the weights, but if I saw a skinny old guy hit a double at 495 sans spotter, I think I would gladly rerack his weights for him.

And here comes HeavyTriple, straight outta left field.
I liked the suicide grip in Unbreakable!

I saw the DVD twice, and both scenes were in it.

Chin-ups.

Because a lot of times the gym is just a scene where two different characters are talking to each other while lifting, so they need the scene to be long enough for the script (and that = endless reps). Like in the movie SWAT where Colin Farrell and Samuel L. Jackson are talking in the police department gym.

Probably should have quoted the post with the video. I guess you didn’t watch it, but that is what happened in the video.

I have no problem with the suicide grip, after all, he is unbreakable so why should he give a fuck if he drops it.
Btw, I always thought they should have made a sequel. Lost in Space should have had a sequel too.
