Inception : The fight scene in the spinning hotel corridor

The fight scene in the spinning hotel corridor

One of the greatest fight scenes ever put to film! Even though it was relatively short, and not overly complex, it was still absolutely extroardinary, due to the circimstances and how real they made it seem.

I remember seeing that in the threatre, and thinking to myself that I had never seen anything like that before. Nor since.

For me, a movie is always taken to the next level when it does something you've never seen before. Sure, we've seen spinning rooms before, but nothing like that.

Awesome!! Love Inception!


The greatest trick God ever pulled was convincing the world that He's good.

I love that scene. And I don't think Nolan is generally a very good action director, but he gets that scene done right. I love it when the guy flies down the hallway toward the elevator.

The anti-gravity scene is excellent, too. He has an eye for moving the camera around during these scenes which gives us the essence of the action along with the danger.

Re: The fight scene in the spinning hotel corridor

i'm actually watching that scene right now, and i'm a bit confused. shouldn't the people in the winter mountains dream also be spinning around, since their dreaming bodies are spinning in the hotel room? joseph gordon-levitt is spinning because his body is spinning in the van, after all.

Good point.

I don't think it's the greatest, but it sure is one hell of a thrill to watch especially with that music playing during it.

Awesome Scene!

Re: The fight scene in the spinning hotel corridor

Best scene in the movie as far as I'm concerned.

Re: The fight scene in the spinning hotel corridor

That's the scene I remember above all others.
