Yup, those are pretty much the biggest two ;)

I've always loved Jackie Chan's clear, wide angle choreographed long shot fight scenes. They're in stark contrast with those five-cuts-a-second uber-shaky closeups you-can't-see-sh*t fights some directors like to do for some inexplicable reason.

And then the Kingsman films found what I believe to be a great balance between the two, while still retaining the occasional long shot and bringing a few new tricks to the table. Making the camera "participate" in the action while keeping the focus dead center, making it both dynamic and easy to follow. They even tend to subtly cut a few frames before impacts to add that extra oompf to them. Just genius.

There are definitely other inspirations, both conscious and not. I don't think I could name them all if I tried, but off the top of my head, there's some John Wick, Hardcore Henry and Yakuza (Like a Dragon) in there too.

I knew there was a little john wick in there.
Thanks for the answer! 😊

If only people can see the action ideas I get.

As while I do get inspiration from those various moves you mention and many others I rely mostly on the simplicity of what amazing stuff is rarely or never seen in action movies which leaves room for encouragement on my imagination. But I also get inspiration by watching other people's work that arouse my criticisms to pushes for more ideas.
