THE HIT LIST: January 15, 2018

Lee B. Golden III

It’s been something of an eventful weekend; things happened and by Saturday evening I was ready to hibernate away from social media through Sunday no matter what… Then I got a surge of energy and figured I’d put it to use and besides, there’s still a plethora of content to share including in this week’s Hit List that I’ve been collecting and I intend to introduce them now that I’m awake. From L to R (top): Thekla Hutyrova, John Orozco, Angela Jordan, Eliver Ling, Mélodie Veillard L to R (bottom) Geoffrey Boggs, Jessie Simpson, Dennis Ruel, Katelyn Brooke, Benjamin Alexander Besides, these stunt reels were pretty stimulating and very much kickass with Lorenz Hideyoshi Ruwwe highlighting his work load going into 2018. He kicks off this segment followed by reels courtesy of Jessie Simpson, Benjamin Alexander, Mélodie Veillard, Eliver Ling, Ivy Haralson, Geoffrey Boggs, Thekla Hutyrova, Kawui Joa, Ikeda Ai, […]

Lee B. Golden III

Believe it or not, we’re coming down the wire with the Hit Lists of 2017! December 4 will be the last entry before I recommence things in January. Until then, I am also preparing content for the next several weeks in which I discuss upcoming films to look out for in 2018, so stick around for those as well. For now though, it’s business as usual for The Hit List assembling the week’s stunt and demo reels and projects. Stuntman, actor and filmmaker Diego Ramiro gives us an impressive showing this week with an spirited action comedy reel showcasing just what a versatile talent he is. He kicks off this week’s playlist with more reels by Kimberly Root, Andrew Nadanyi, Valisa Tate, Adam Carson, Marina Volkova, Geoffrey Boggs, Molly Thomas, Felix Cortes, Jeffrey Mayfield, Trevor de Groot and Chad Riley. It’s time for some trailer gems and thus, the past […]

It sure sucked being sick this past week. It’s what slowed down a lot of content going into the weekend on top of work (yes, having to work while sick is a thing that exists. Call your Congressman and let’s end this atrocity! ?) Well, at least not right away. Thankfully I’m on better straits and this week’s Hit List is back and ripe with all you love and enjoy about this site and what and who we try to discover and keep up with. Heather Woods is one of those very people as we kick off this week’s playlist of stunt and demo reels followed by the performances of Austin Durden, David Russell Graham, Airon Armstrong, Kate Mah, David Lavallee Jr., Fernando Jay Huerto, Ai Ikeda, Gee Alexander, Alex McCaslin, Kate Cochran, Stephon Reynolds, freerunner Sydney Olson‘s most entry for Red Bull Art of Motion 2017, and a new […]

THE HIT LIST – August 1, 2016

Lee B. Golden III

Well, my weekend was all work and no play, but I did get to view a handful of shortfilms and a terrific independent feature film well on its way. Reviews will arrive in due time, while I’ve since gathered up what I could for this week’s installment of The Hit List, and I hope it suits your fancy. As always, the first round of action goes to the stunt professionals, coordinators and players alike with actor, martial artist and choreographer Matt Mullins, whose prolific work on ABC series, Marvel’s Agents Of Shield makes for a nifty little demo reel full of action clips from the show to start things off properly. Josh Fried, Shawna West, Ishida Sachiko, Yue Qi, Kevin Tsai, Teague Quillen, Mounir Quazzani, Angie Adler, Andrew J. Neis, and performer and stunt coordinator Jodi Stecyk round out the playlist along with freerunning extraordinaire Cory DeMeyers who you’ll be hearing plenty […]

THE HIT LIST – February 29, 2016

Lee B. Golden III

Well, my weekend wasn’t much of one, save for a few anime breaks on Netflix. Most of my time was spent either at work or posting reviews here on the blog on top of prepping at least two interviews, one that will likely post sometime this week. Surprisingly, I actually thought this was going to be a smaller Hit List and I always think that every week. As it turns out, this one’s loaded quite amply and we begin with actor and stuntman Eric Jacobus with a new movelist video attributed to Tekken favorite, Jin Kazama! The playlist continues with great new stunt and training reels featuring Mark Fichera, Janelle Beaudry, John J. Shim, Nick DeKay, Dirk Ellis, Phi Huynh and Katelyn Brooke, followed by the latest stunt coordinator reels from Bryce Bermingham and Jennifer Badger, and one from KingOfKungFuAMP’s YouTube channel with an excellent fan reel attributed to the stellar career […]

THE HIT LIST – February 8, 2016

Lee B. Golden III

My weekend was a little adventurous. Nothing major but I do have a few things going on right now that may involve a little less activity here at Film Combat Syndicate, so I can’t guarantee the usual amount of content like always. That won’t stop me from procuring the weekly Hit List as per each Monday evening, because there’s more action to entail along with a small announcement on a project I will be making a cameo in, and you would be wise to keep up!… First up, as always in our weekly series of playlists is a reel loaded with various training and professional stunt and fighting footage from some of today’s upscale players, including Shaun Finney, Ross Kohnstam, Matt Berberi, Corbin Reinhardt, Aston Crabtree, Shane Yan and Leandra Giese. And now, onto some short fight videos with a vimeo-exclusive from Tyler Williams in Canada. His latest piece is […]

Lee B. Golden III

This weekend was another rough one… safe to say I need two of me. Nevertheless, I’m committed to the Hit List this week and have delivered the goods, the high falls, the hard-hitters and all! Right now, we kick things off like we always do, and that’s with the stunt players and demo reels of their own. Watch the latest from Alexandre Gay, Jennifer Li, Sam Slater, Pablo Verdejo, Kadia Saraf, Jesse Haus, Alessandro Romeo, Felix Quinton, Moe Alafrangy and Taz Garcia, as well as an illustrious Darth Maul-inspired lightsaber demo conjured by actor and martial artist Aaron Gassor. Up next, as always, we have a small list of test fights that I found worth sharing. The first comes courtesy of filmmaker Bryan Sloyer who dazzled us earlier this year with an amazing action short called The Keeper. He’s got a new BTS video for that project you can view […]

THE HIT LIST – June 15, 2015

Lee B. Golden III

This week is going to be just a little light on content as I’ve managed to successfully cover a lot in previous weeks. Honestly though, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more quality stuff out there I may have missed, and mainly because, well…I don’t have immediate access to everything out there. But I am working on it. As such, this week’s Hit List is here and with another wave of cool new stunt reels and shorts. The new stunt reel playlist below features respective stunt and coordination work from Justin Yu and Donald Brooks Jr., along with a temp reel from Daniel Graham, actress and stuntwoman Kristina Baskett, freerunner Antoine Giri, and stuntmen Dan Pelchat, Peter Jang, Mykola Galagan, Lee-Moultan Davies, Eddie Perez and Brady Romberg. The playlist caps off with a showreel highlighting the career of actor and martial artist Ernie Reyes Jr. in lieu of current […]

This year’s Star Wars Celebration begins its four-day weekend event this Thursday on April 16, and it’s all the rage right now as fans prepare to feel the Force awaken once more this December with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. This, coupled with last week’s digital re-release of all six previous films so far makes things even more exciting as fans and content creators gather just in time to share their own projects, fandom and more, and actor and Force Storm Entertainment founder Noah Fleder‘s latest debut effort with the J.J.

If you were around about a year ago or so, you may recall previous reports on the announcement of actor, martial artist, writer, producer and stuntman Noah Fleder‘s inspired production base, Force Storm Entertainment. Built on the brewing reinvigoration of impending Star Wars fandom, with thanks in large part to the facilitators at Crestec Studios in Torrance, California, Fleder and the folks behind the scenes have been working toward developing a substantive platform for the shared vision at Force Storm Entertainment to accomodate fans with a variety of shortfilms and skits ranging from mockumentary-style comedy and laughs to impeccable drama, action and stuntwork.

The King Has Returned In The New Teaser For THRONE!

Lee B. Golden III

It’s great to live in an age where the online independent film scene has expanded to a point where bonafide stunt performers and martial artists are able to come together en masse and create something as epic as what actor, stuntman and co-writer Aaron Toney is currently brewing. Case in point: The latest teaser for Throne, the story of a king who sets out find the man responsible for framing him for the death of his own family. A co-production of PMV Entertainment and Halvon Corps Entertainment, Throne assembles a meaty handful of top notch action performers led by Toney, along with James Young and Brendon Huor, and it’s been a considerable matter of time for all the details to come out and help offer a better undetstanding of what this new project will entail beyond the actors involved. My previous discussions with Toney on the status of it so […]
