Movie Concepts You Won't Believe Exist In Real Life

Deflecting Bullets With A Sword

Lots of martial arts movies portray their heroes and villains as being capable of superhuman feats like flying short distances or deflecting bullets with a sword. In the real world, elite martial artists can perform some impressive feats. Swordsman Isao Machii holds some Guinness Book of World Records for such feats as 'Fastest 1,000 Martial Arts Sword Cuts' and 'Fastest Tennis Ball (820 km/h) Cut By Sword.' In 2012, Machii again demonstrated his prowess by cutting a BB pellet in two with his katana. The traveling question was about the size of a pea and traveling at two hundred miles an hour. An assistant had fired the BB gun from approximately seventy feet away. Most individuals can’t even see such a small object traveling at that speed, which made Machii’s feat even more impressive.
