What he does in that scene id called Parkour...it was started by David Belle "Le Parkour (IPA: [paʁ.'kuʁ], often abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement (English: the art of movement) is a physical art of French origin in which the participant — called a traceur (tʁa.'sœʁ) — attempts to pass obstacles in the fastest and most direct manner possible. The obstacles can be anything in the environment, so parkour is often practiced in urban areas because of many suitable public structures, such as buildings, rails and walls."peace really interesting...hey dude check out youtube for some more of that kinda action...i had seen some russians doing the same stuff....was hilarious. ;D |

District B-13 rocks big time! One of the fastest moving action movies you'll ever see. Just under 80 minutes but full of action!
The opening chase in Casino Royale was inspired by Parkour too and that scene rocked too!

Yeah I've seen both, however both the movies totally screw up when it comes to story/characters... take a long time to set up the big action sequences. But once the action starts it's just awesome! Tony Jaa is very talented but he needs better production to work with I guess... I prefer the style of District B13 to Jaa's movies...
BTW, while we're on the topic of action movies has anyone seen CRANK? That was probably the best pure action flick from Hollywood last year. It stars Jason Statham and the plot is totally whacked out... think of it as an updated version of Speed except that Statham is the bus in this case!

Y'know the creators of the Transporter movies have admitted that his character was modelled after Hitman's Agent 47. I had a link to the article but I can't find it right now...
But yeah, Statham is an awesome action star... definitely much better than Vin Diesel or The Rock. His only other contenders IMO are Daniel Craig (the most badass Bond ever!) and Matt Damon for his Bourne movies.

I saw the trailer of 300 when I went to see the ghost rider and was totally blown away by it, so much that I couldn't focus on the ghost rider movie and my head kept thinking about when that picture is going to release because I really want to see that movie.
I have seen troy and that movie was in my top 3 list of movies which I have seen and this movie is also related to the greek mythology that's why i am really excited about seeing this movie.
It's releasing on march 9 in US I think but don't know about the indian release date.
