It seems like pete is the only xixax member who takes an active interest in movies from all over the world... Don't half the members here live outside the US?
Written and produced by Luc Besson, a French action flick from last year.

what the hell are u basing that on? ur hardly george plimpton urself.
ugh, and besson can lick my balls.
I'd say that both La Femme Nikita and Leon are rather great pieces of action filmmaking. I wish he'd make more movies. Not really sure what to think of his next outing, http://www.arthurandtheminimoys.com/ .

I'm basing it on the threads. Batman Begins and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory become overloaded with posts while Saraband gets three pages.
movies from sweden take like two years to get over here.
Luc Besson has been living off his Leon reputation for over a decade now. He lost all credibility when he attached his name to that awful Taxi series, not to mention a whole range of other B-movies. This looks like the same old merde...as usual.
dude I totally posted about this a year ago!! what happened?
anyways, this guy, David Belle, he's amazing and he's the founder of la pakour and the movie just cuts all the stunts all up, like yamakasi, and makes me really pissed.
have the ong bak crew shoot a film with this guy.
edit: oh shit, cyril raffaelli is in this too? that guy has indestructable ankles.
a chase scene from the film (http://media.putfile.com/vid_00726)
Seems fun to me. Kinda like a NIKE commercial, but still fun. I'm still a fan of Bessons stories, both Kiss of the Dragon and Unleashed are solid action flicks.
well the dude on the nike commercial was part of yamakasi, which was a pakour team that came outta belle's gym. this david belle is the real deal man, he can like climb and jump and flip off of anything. an urban monkey.

Kiss of the Dragon and Unleashed were both released here and viewed by the common American slob at the multi-plex along with movies like Harry Potter, and were in English. Fear not, Pete and Meatball's rep is still safe.

That was close. Well, I'm going to grab some freedom fries and watch me some Nascar. :doh:
just got it, pretty stylish, some really fun action scenes, some obvious plot twists and a surprise speech about classism and democracy. the two main leads do some pretty crazy stunts though. if you're actually into like stunts and original action scenes (ie. not one of those guys who looks at a fight scene and goes "oh I get it, it's a fight. boring. next.") this one has some cool editing and individual moments that are great.

i've been interested in the parkour thing since i discovered them earlier on this week. you have got to see what david belle does, it will make you hate special effects
here are some useful links

this video (40mb) :

my buddy Ulrik just finished a video in which he followed group of traceurs around. it's more plain and less spectacular, but that's how traceurs train and how they live.

I saw this movie back in December and it's terrible. I love parkour, but it's only really showcased in the first ten minutes of the film, and even then, it's not much better than the short films and commercials you can find online.
its funny. i had downloaded this months ago after reading a few interesting blurbs about it and never got around to watching it. but i had just finally deleted it off my computer a day or two before this thread popped up again.

and this is cyril raffaelli's demo, he's pretty insane.

that poster looks like a video game box.
...which i guess nails the target audience.
I just got back from this and it's probably the best thing in theaters right now*... which says absolutely NOTHING for the movie, but it's certainly worth watching.
It's main drawback is there isn't enough stunt-work to keep the movie strong and the final fight-scene is a let down. Fortunately, the rest of the movie isn't completely unbearable (unless you're just stuck-up and can't let go and enjoy stuff like this**) and the stunt work that it DOES feature is pretty damned impressive.
It also features "Resistant" by Iron Sy which is being played over and over on my iTunes.
edit:
*okay, I just checked the listings and United 93 is still showing, so I guess a very distant second best.
**Just noticed Ghostboy didn't like it... this isn't a dig at him
