The Fight Scene Analysis

The fight scene analysis

I LOVE this scene!

So lets do it~!

We start with a barrage of bullets from the shark gangsters/loan sharks (if ya know, ya know). Husk and Angel are taking shelter behind a car when we start.

Husk has his eyes on the sharks, hand up to protect Angel. Angel has his eyes on Husk.

"Stay down. I'll deal with this."

We also have one of Angel's posters in the background. This is the Angel we and Husk are familiar with.

Husk pulls some cool knife throwing via papercut cards and actual loaded dice.

I'd like to point out the poster of Valentino in the back. Husk against Valentino shows us how different he is in regard to Angel. Val beats, assaults and exploits Angel. Husk risks himself to protect Angel without a second thought. This was seen earlier in the bar when he stopped Angel from being roofied and helped him escape the sharks earlier on. Val would probably have just charged the sharks money by the hour and sold the footage.

But this is where that earlier shot comes into play. Angel is more than his porn star persona. And he shows us and Husk that via crackshot into a nostril.

After shooting the shark into an actual puddle, Angel helps Husk up, continuing the theme of both supporting each other from the "Loser, Baby" duet right before the fight.

Angel goes full old school mafia, placing himself between Husk and the sharks with excessive force, switching the protector role with Husk.

But Husk joins in with more loaded dice. Notice his wings again. Angel has an arsenal of guns and rains bullets on the sharks, but Husk's wings are spread wide to protect his back.

Both are taking pleasure in the very one sided battle now that they've joined forces, the tension lessened just by each other's presence. (Vaggie was right.)

If Angel was wearing makeup to cover his black eyes from Val, its gone from the gunpowder, explosions and blood splash zone. Husk doesn't relax until the sharks stop moving, still on alert.

"Heh...well...That wasn't something I expected to see." He says to Angel, taking a breath and smiling at him.

And Angel tries to smooth his blown about, blood covered hair and replies "Like I said, you don't know me. Sex aint the only thing I'm good at." Angel is showing us a glimpse not only of himself...but of Anthony. And it seems as if they're blending into the person he is now.

And Husk has gotten his point across. This mess of a man covered in blood, soot and dirt...black eye, messy hair and clothing...the man who just decimated a gang of men and had his back...smiling through the violence and standing tall...

"Good to know. Cause this guy..."

"Ain't half bad."

This is who Husk wanted to see.

Angel Dust.
