The fight scene between the American Dream and Benjamin Franklin is assuredly one of the most climactic moments in Counterfeiters.
So here's a little behind the scenes breakdown, the fight begins with the American Dream and Benjamin Franklin doing a series of moves in sync. And then after three rounds of this solo mini fights, they bump into each other, spin around to face each other and start swinging.
The thought behind the American Dream moving in slow motion is that he is passing through time as he fights. While the original idea was to base their fight off bare knuckle 19th century boxing. A la Sherlock Holmes and Far Away (Clips of which are posted earlier in this blog.) That was the style choice when the American Dream was fighting Sam.
The fight sequence between Ben and the American Dream is styled on more modern street fighter boxing technique. The American Dream's knock out punch to Ben Franklin was taken from this video about street fighting, a strait uppercut to the jaw. J & K really wanted to make Ben and the AMD's fight dirtier and more gruesome to incite a stronger reaction from the audience.
