THE HIT LIST: February 25, 2019

My weekend was spent loading up on questions for certain individuals in movies, so we’ll see what comes of it in the next thirty days. Not to mention a review but…that one comes Tuesday or hopefully sooner. For now, it’s time to get in some Hits for this week’s installment of The Hit List and we start off with our usual raft of stunt professionals doling out the reel action courtesy of Michaela McAllister whose latest reel is a longer cut from last week. Following along are entries from Yavuz Topuz, Matt Philiben, Eugenia Yurevskaya, Young Kim, Shane Alexander, Beverly Provost, Bryan Dodds, Marlon Perrier, Somnag Chay, Vinny O’Brien, Jimmy Leroy-Schneiter, Colby Lenmo, Philippe Phengrasmay and Niklas Eriksson. As for promotional gems we have just two items on the table for now, the first of which arrives in a first teaser at upcoming Wolf Stunts stunt-loaded short, Go For Broke. […]

THE HIT LIST: July 17, 2017

My weekend was a bit of a bummer…although it’s nothing compared to what others were going through in the world of stunts and entertainment as last week. For all intents and purposes here though, it’s worth celebrating the life and legacy of stuntman and New Orleans native, John Bernecker, who sadly lost his life on Friday. In honor of his memory, he kicks off this week’s installment of The Hit List with highlights from projects such as This Is The End, Goosebumps and Get Hard to name a few, followed by reels from some of today’s top and up-and-coming stunt professionals, including Bryan Sloyer, Rosslyn Luke, Michael Bekemeier, Bronin October, Brandon Ly, Gabriela Kostadinova, Doug Karr, Suo Liu and stunt coordinator T.J. White. At current, there’s nothing really in the way in terms of promotional materials. However, the latest shortfilm directoral outing from Christopher Zatta might be worth a nod as […]

Probably the best way I can sum up the gist of my weekend is that 76 years and current box office gross of more than $450 million dollars later, I would say that Patty Jenkins has earned her place at the helm of a Wonder Woman sequel and Warner Bros. would be wise to oblige. On to other matters, however, it’s a new week which means it’s time for another installment of the Hit List. Kicking off the first playlist in this week’s stunt reel category is Umar Khan now out with a compilation video in celebration of his recent 35th birthday. Rounding out the playlist are Leon Ngo, Beni Alexander, Aaron Hakala, Joon Poore, Barret Coates, Heather Lynn, Nikki Stanley, Veto Swarn, Troy Butler and Li Qiang, with coordinator and choreography reels by Jennifer Badger and Joseph Roark. There’s more fight stuff to come. For now though, we’re switching […]

Well, it’s been another close call but I finally managed to bring you this week’s installation of The Hit List for your own viewing pleasure. Last week was crazy packed with festival news upkeep from Asia along with posting our recent inteview with actress Yadi Nieves and managing to review Mitsutake Kurando’s new movie, Karate Kill, which releases this summer. Considering all this and then some, I’m ready for the weekend! But, it IS only Monday and so too, shall the norm continue with this week’s Hit List nearly packaged and ready to go, and with a new spate of stunt reels to kick things off, courtesy of a slick and sexy new stunt driving reel by stuntwoman Daylin Matthews. Rounding out the playlist are reels by Louis Sebastian, Joseph Roark, Nik Pelekai, Joe Gallina, Entony Ruscetta, Dean Gould, Noah Woods and D.L. MacDonald, and a spectacular new reel by […]

Well, it’s been another work weekend for me as usual, but thankfully it comes with a few rewarding jewels – one of which came to me on Thursday last week. You’ll learn more about it at the bottom of this week’s installment of The Hit List, all fresh and ready to go with another weekly round of amazing stunt and training reels by some of today’s talented stunt performers and up-and-comers. Victor Plajas revs things up some with his own new reel followed by Erika Frase and 12 year old Bryton Miller whose own reel comes with a famous, uplifting movie monologue from a certain star of a boxing movie franchise. Rounding out the playlist are reels by Ivan Pecuh, Anthony Oh, Olivier Lunardi, Erika Keck, Craig Putman, Ari Loeb, Tyler Hall, Philippe Vonlanthen, Diandra Milliner Stoddard and Michel Quach.
