Blacksmith Rates 9 Forging Scenes From Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

Mark Wahlberg apparently needs to step up his forging game.

Today's video has Neil Kamimura looking at forging and blacksmithing scenes from movies and commenting on their authenticity.

• Iron Man - RDJ is a heck of an actor, but it's weird that he's banging on cold steel when he's got a hot forge right behind him. And how does steel that's not hot enough to glow actually sizzle in the water?
• Rambo - At least the steel's hot here. Sly should use a heavier hammer and hit the center of the anvil. Not a believable scene.
• Game of Thrones - Not a good sign that the sword's handle comes off so easily. The container that's melting the sword would have to be hot enough to glow if it's making the sword glow. Surface casting is pretty but isn't how it's really done. They also seem to have broken the law of conservation of mass.
• Avengers: Infinity War - At least they used an actual mold not just surface casting. Kinda cool that the two pieces forge welded instantly...that's not s'right. 
• Infinite - Mark Wahlberg need to hit harder and shouldn't wear a glove on his hammer hand. His sword is all wavy and not done. "Swords do not cut pipe." 
• LoTR: Return of the King - Flux looks pretty when you smack it. Might as well start from scratch not try to repair the blade. And the elf actors don't know what they're doing.
• Conan the Barbarian - Still surface casting with all sorts of pretty flames for the appearance and bad quenching.
• A Knight's Tale - Hit it harder, girl. 
• Ragnarok - Get your metal hotter, gents...and improve your aim. 

Apparently the forging scenes in movies are pretty crappy.
