Meetings And Greetings: A Night Out With ARCADE KILLERS's Own Slobo And Duy Panouvic

Photo Courtesy of Duy Panouvic, and as you can see, I was very, very thirsty. A common practice for a lot of folks in the stunt industry outside of working on film sets, is to travel and explore other parts of the globe to acquaint with other stunt professionals – something particularly effective in an age where social media has since played a huge role in networking millions of people. Evidently, this is one area that professional stunt couple, Slobo and Duy Panouvic were keen to act on in the progression of their own careers having already spent quite awhile working their way up between working their native Germany, and in Cape Town, South Africa where they started their own professional team, Arcade Killers back in May of last year. I have written about them a few times in the past year, so it was rather opportune for me that […]

THE HIT LIST – May 4, 2015

Lee B. Golden III

Talk about down to the wire… this Hit List article was almost a no-show today as I was getting other things done in the process. Thankfully it IS here, and as alway, it’s choc-filled with goods from the web. Before I begin though, if you missed the trailer for the upcoming short, Temple, then please take a look at it. It’s poised for presentation to hopeful backers of a feature-length expansion and you only need to see the teaser once to be convinced why it deserves your attention and that of sales’ agents… As for the Hit List, well…let’s get things started in here with a small grouping of stunt reels from folks like stuntwomen Janine Parkinson and Eileen Weisinger, and others from Omid Zader, Ogiwara Satoru, Johann Ofner, Sergei Dmitriev, John Sharpe, Jack Hansen and a fresh new, and Kombatastic reel from LBP Stunts Chicago! As far as teasers […]

Lee B. Golden III

This was a bit of a last minute stretch as my weekend was a bit busy taking care of other things. Still, hopefully this list is ample enough to give you all something cool to look at. One honorable mention I’ll lend is the latest short film trailer for The Betrayal, the debut video for Force Storm Entertainment. There are details you should check out in that regard so click here to learn more about it… Now, let’s get some stuntin’ and freerunnin’ goin’ with today’s enlisted reels from Jean-Paul Ly, Justin Charles Evans, Taylor Tai, Gaston Prado, Jordan Thoma, Ari Loeb and Kefi Abrikh, and the amazing talent on hand in the latest video from Ampisound! Three shortfilm trailers have also made the list: Firstly, a new Predator movie is in the works, but fans of the character can expect something quite special from director James Bushe for the […]

Here's Another Batch Of Online Action Shorts From Around The Web!

Lee B. Golden III

As many of you all know in partaking in our collective readership, I also try to share the spotlight with all the various talented performers out their presenting their own short test fight samples online. I do try to cover as much as I get my hands on or whatever comes my way, although it’s challenging at times to lend individual coverage for each project I spot. So, in the spirit of keeping up with independent artists, I’m now presenting clusters of micro articles like this. It probably won’t be a weekly thing, but if it helps entertain and grant folks an opportunity to share their craft more, then all the better. So, here goes! An active team since 2010, Kung Fu Heroes recently unveiled a new promo reel to headline some of their previous and upcoming work. A few of their members I know of already have projects of […]

Arcade Killers Presents: MR. & MRS. PANOUVIC

Lee B. Golden III

If anything, 2014 has been another great year foreseeing the continued legacy of online independent action. This time, we pan over to independent filmmakers and multifaceted stunt performers Jay Kim, and husband/wife duo Slobo and Duy Panouvic – three members of their newly established team, Arcade Killers. The team recently launched their new experimental test fight short, Mr. & Mrs. Panouvic – slightly more dark in its comedic delivery and very much sillier in its reminiscence of a similar 2005 action flick with stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie; If anything though, it’s a nice little sampling for what may lie ahead in the coming and weeks and months following the team’s launch in May in Cape Town, South Africa. Arcade Killers has since based themselves in their new home in Germany following their sponsorship by the South Africa branch of the popular sportswear company, New Balance. The team has […]
