My weekend was huge, and the week before it was pretty busy. Still, hell bent on maintaining new content as with every week, I’ve returned once more with the Hit List with all the usual bits of action gems you can enjoy.
Let’s kick things off with a new fight reel from The Challenge Letter co-star, aussie actress Maria Tran followed by reels from Travis Wong, Duy Panouvic of Arcade Killers, Ryan Hunter, Maria Sova, Jerome Teague, Nnamdi Nwosa, Andrea Ross and the latest fight reel from Cinematic Fight Studio, with some more stuntin’ from freerunners Vlad Height and Lennon Shannon!
Now let’s get fighting, and for this, we can thank creator and actor Noah Fleder upon the launch of his new channel, Force Storm Entertainment and the debut of its first project, Vlad Rimburg‘s new Star Wars fan short, The Betrayal!
Kicking this next portion is the latest test choreography video led by stuntman and screenfighter Kai Fung Rieck. Beneath that is a 70’s style action comedy from the folks over at Lunar Stunts, Tough Street – a story of love, betrayal, greed, cool action and shameless overacting, and a lot of fun to catch. Take a look at it below as well as two other test fight shorts: Kevin Barile‘s latest Bourne-style action gem with bladed weaponry and deadly hand-to-hand choreography in The Bourne Elimination with Bryan Sloyer, and Sloyer‘s latest cerebral action-packed regal throwdown, Queen led by Amy Sturdivant opposite Jay Kwon, Michael Lehr and others.
More on Lehr below as we cap off this Hit List with some shortfilm trailers: VerseS kicks things off with its own teaser as its well on the way, followed by a trailer for UK filmmaker Andrew Kueh’s student short, Prime Contact, and the latest trailer for Henry Kim’s long-awaited short, All Men Are Thieves which is currently debuting later this month in San Francisco at the Roxie theater on April 23 and 24 – Tickets are available at Sparxo.
This next one comes from German stunt fighter, actor Andy Long Nguyen and his latest experimental homage to 80’s Hong Kong action cinema, currently still underway as of 2013 and made with all the tropes and attributes of a dated Hong Kong action flick. Notably, these aren’t the only folks to take this approach to shortfilm content lately, which says a lot about how much appreciation there still is for the golden era of Hong Kong cinema. And clearly, there’s a ton of it here.
new Hong Kong 80s tribute video "teaser"This is a little teaser for another HK 80s tribute project that I’ve started in 2013 in Hong Kong. Unfortunately I couldn’t continue shooting since than and it still might take a while, because there’s no other way to finish it than returning to hong kong^^ but in the final version you will hopefully enjoy special appearances like Vi-Dan Tran, Mike Leeder and Maria Tran (who also did her own HK 80s style video recently) and many other surprising special guests 😉 Check out my other HK80tribute video with Can Aydin Abida and Khoi Chau if you haven’t seen it yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqY4KbV7plw special thanks John Youk Markus Rec Armin Schnürle Alex Bross Konstantin Korovilas Rodney Wong Fatih Ugurlu Corn Kit Pui Man Ho Robert Reiskorn Craig Miller Natalie McKnight Yamil Ray Mania Pictures Mag-Fighters TeamBay rec Sefa Demirbas Zheng Tai Việt Nam HuỳnhPosted by Andy Long Nguyen on Thursday, April 2, 2015
And last but not least, a testimony courtesy of actor and stuntman Adam Lytle with an important, dramatic message about how ideas are rooted, and the struggles of growing them. The title says it all.
