THE HIT LIST – September 5, 2016

Welp, another work weekend has passed and I managed to finish the first of two interviews which are now airing as of this week. Accordingly, the work also extends to putting together new content this week for the Hit List, and there’s plenty to go around! Kicking things off, of course, are the stunt reels, starting with the newest debut reel by Far East Action, a newly-formed stunt ensemble featuring highlights from some noteworthy titles as of late, including Kung Fu Fighter, Time Rush, Wolf Warrior and the 2015 blockbuster epic, Dragon Blade. Rounding it all out are new, fully-loaded stunt reels by Tonya Kay, Wendy Vrijenhoek, Corey Snowden, Justin Hall, Troy Castaneda, Ashley Oliver, Antonio “A.J.” Rachetta, Jasper Joyner, Kent De Mond, Becca GT, Martial Club in a high-impact kicking sesh with friends, and firey Australian martial arts stunt troupe, Dauntless MC, a noteworthy team among several behind something very special that’s […]

It was back in 2013 that I first caught wind of filmmaker James Poirier’s second shortfilm, The End Of December, from Tenth Gate Productions in association with ZoomTilt. I bring this up with actor and title star Nick Apostolides in mind, who led the short in a fantastic tale of two embattled covert ops soliders who set out to save a young boy’s life, and it was a terrific piece of work you can still catch online. Fast forward three years later and Poirier is now back in the fold with the new shortfilm, Relapse, now starring Gabriel Caste and Dre Swain, and keeping in line with the same black ops story arc with Apostolides returning, and with a new twist. The opening sequence is a wonderfully done high-speed chase at night as December tries to speed away from a horde of armed men on motorcycles. Automatically, you’re immersed in […]

Well, I don’t know about you guys, but my weekend was another laid back one this summer. I haven’t been to the movies in a while and mostly due to work, but I have plenty of anime and film at home to keep me company, and that courtesy also extends to any number of the usual action shorts and stunt talents I find on the web. Thus, we now engage another installation of The Hit List, and the first of the bunch brings us the usual playlist ripe with stunt reels to enjoy beginning with Jesse Liskola who has caught my attention in a few good projects over the past year or so, including Mikko Lopponen’s 2015 winter revenge thriller, Eliza. His demo reel is just below and followed by a slate of stunt and training reels from Christopher Troy, Anthony Hoang, Lon Gowan, Katie Kramer, Skylar Mowatt, Martin Wan […]
