YAMAKASI: Parkour Gets A 20th Anniversary Celebration With A Cast Reunion For Jean Adrieu’s New Short
I remember the first time I’d heard of Ariel Zeitoun and Julien Seri’s 2001 action adventure, Yamakasi, it was back when I was a recurring customer of the now defunct HKFlix website. It was definitely one of those titles that was always “Out Of Print” and/or “Out Of Stock,” and so I never got around to getting it while hoping one day that a legitimate U.S. distribution outlet would swoop in and save the day, and obviously, that never happened.

THE 44TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN Review: Electrifyingly Nuts [Updated With Poster]
As far as shorfilms go, most are worthy of sharing a few written thoughts depending on their substance and potential.
