THE HIT LIST: September 24, 2018

It looks like things are slowing down a little on the interwebs regarding shortfilms. I’ll do my best to scavenge for these gems as much as possible, though I am looking forward to taking another break (which probably won’t be one anyway since I’ll likely be using it to write ? …the cycle never ends). As for all else, The Hit List is now here and I’ve brought some new stunt, training and performance reels to the fray this week courtesy of Narayan Cabral, Anna Sophia Moad, Camran Bostanabad, Spencer Davis, Robert Steven Brown, Rad Floria, Amelia Skye, Bruce Neri, April Taft, Heather Brooke, Vinny O’Brien, Zhanna Sattsaeva, Gabby Perrera, Craig Henry, Shane Daniels and Jose Vicente Iborra. (*Marques Zaror Archie’s reel appears to have been tentatively removed.) There’s only one item to promote this week and for that, we turn to Nerdbot’s most recent effort, Back In The Shell. […]

THE HIT LIST – August 24, 2015

Lee B. Golden III

The Hit List is back once again, and gladly it comes loaded once more with some amazing stuff from around the web! As usual, we’re starting things off with this week’s newest online stunt, training and action reels with Deanna Page, Lacey Robinson, Solomon Brende, Tyrone Wiggins, Heather Baroody, Janelle Beaudry, Shawna West, Mike Ryan, Kai Fung Rieck and Reda Oumouzoune. Moving on to other content, this next video comes from J. Matthew Turner who puts a clever spin on interpreting the perpetual storyline that kicked off the highly-heralded Karate Kid trilogy with the first film. It’s pretty hilarious when you watch and listen to it, and it may even have you thinking about whether or not this is the movie you remember. Take a look! Delving further into the expansion of stunt talent in the world, we can largely thank 20th Century Fox in the wake of their latest […]

GETTING REEL IN MALAYSIA: An Interview With AYEZ SHAUKAT FONSEKA

Lee B. Golden III

The Hit List a weekly article I run on Mondays listing all of the various test fights and shortfilms I spot online for the previous week, is a feature on my blog that has done a great service to my own continued discovery of online action – something I became fascinated by close to ten years ago. It’s often intriguing what you find online as you never really know what is happening beyond your own borders unless you look, which is what I do a lot of these days because of the vast amount of talent that has spawned throught the online netizenry of up-and-coming filmmakers. Actor, martial artist, stuntman, fight choreographer and stunt coordinator Ayez Shaukat Fonseka is one of those inspired artists I speak of whose channel I bumped into a few weeks ago prior to sharing one of its recent action shorts, Kejar (Chase), and as it […]

THE HIT LIST: January 26, 2015

If at any point these Hit List articles become weekly events for you, whether it be by yourself or among friends, then I’m truly greatful. I find a lot of these things online, and it surprises me how many videos I come across that remain hidden from us for so long until we’re lucky enough to catch on to them, and among this list, there are quite a few within the last few years that I felt were worth sharing given their relevance. So, let’s get to it!… Starting off is a new retrospective video from Lunar Stunts’ own in-house action duo, Eric Nguyen and Irvin Nguyen as they look back at last year’s highlights. Everything from Fair Game to Eat. Pray. Ninja. and even Rope-A-Dope 2 is included in this reel as the Nguyen bros look ahead to what the new year will hopefully bring. 2015 is looking pretty […]
