Check out this trailer! The film was made some time ago (2000 by my quick check), but it's being released here in a limited fashion quite soon. I'm guessing it's going to make some waves if people can get out of their chairs to go see it. I'm loving how it's stylized. ...can't wait to try to wrap my mind around what looks to be a colorful, antention deficit, Thai, spaghetti-western, with 50's pastiche and... read more ›

This circulated online ages ago, but I was recently sharing it with a friend and it made me realize that I should share it here... The first 2 minutes are moderately slow and a bit bizarre for a few seconds here and there, but hang on for the big stunts in minutes 2-8. It's the real deal. If you're needing incentive to watch this and you don't know what parkour is, check out the wiki... read more ›
