I would donate to a Kickstarter for this guy's legal defense if he provokes and records a foot chase between he and the NYPD.
$10,000: all of the above PLUS you get to be an obstacle during the pursuit.


I think that would be irresponsible, if he's wearing a black hoodie like in the video...tell him to wear a cardigan.

Fail videos are so ubiquitous that one can usually predict the outcome based upon the setting and props involved. Ramp/pond/bike, guy on roof/folding table on ground, skateboard/stairs, skateboard/park bench/handrail, skateboard/steep hill, merry-go-round/motorcycle, large group of people posing for picture/dock/platform/stage, rope swing/lake, rally car/rally, idiot(s)/fire, idiot(s)/fireworks, concert/stage diver, cat/slippery counter, dog/slippery floor, pickup truck/guy riding something attached to pickup by a rope, park/parkourer parkourering, motorcycle/ramp, motorcycle/wheelie, poser/posing with animal, person buried in sand/dog, inattentive jogger/signpost, ridiculously expensive luxury car/just drivin' down the road, car/trolley, car/bus, car/train gate, car/other traffic control devices, singer/national anthem... etc.

I still like watching them, though. The misfortune of others can be very entertaining (as long as no one gets seriously hurt).

Yah I think you're right. Being in good shape and able to run fast and for long distances is probably the best overall defence against something like this. If you're cornered then I think doing front/push kicks to keep them at a distance while you manoeuvre to escape is the most logical thing to do.>> ^KnivesOut:

A good time to use your parkour ability? i.e. run the fuck away?

Also, people say that the opening car chase in QOS was awesome here it is, I contend it isn't. This isn't so much to do with shaky cam as it is with insanely quick cutting, never allowing the staging of the scene to be felt, just making it feel like it was edited by a hyperactive 2 year old.

I see openings like this as a way to introduce the characters or to jump into the story. Casino Royale started with a parkour chase which was definitely better than this car chase. But the car chase was more of a way to get the ball rolling I guess.


That Parkour scene was a great demonstration on how to stage an action sequence in such a way that you saw everything. You saw that they were actually doing large portions of it in single runs, that it looked awesome and thrilling. That's exactly the sort of action scene I love. The quick cut, shaky cam style means they only have to shoot a second of the scene at a time, because that's as long as you see of anything before you cut to another angle.

^ I do 3 point landings because my right leg is fucked up. Unfortunately I always look cliche when I jump off shit. Also, although parkour does the proper distribution, 3 point landings are more natural without the training to do so. Therefore, although the 3 point landing isn't the best method, it's the most natural so I can't see this as any more cliche than having a parry in a sword fight.

Criticism of this is pretty *shrug* worthy.

>> ^Mauru:

My question then: can anybody provide a video/image-link to a "proper" super-hero landing?
Let's say the conditions are as follows:
A) you need to be mobile afterwards
B) you are holding a potentially breakable/stabby/shooty device
OPTIONAL C) You are jumping/falling from a certain height
Try to give conditions for that landing to succeed for bonus points. Let's also say bonus points for style.
I immediately get a image of parcour-style stuff...

I dont have evidence from a movie or w/e, but a good landing should look something like this: http://www.monkeysee.com/play/11426-parkour-landing-and-rolling


The idea is you want you legs to absorb some of the force, but also transfer some into the roll. You want to distribute the energy of the fall over the longest period of time (or space - see http://www.ehow.com/video_2360720_break-fall-jujutsu.html). I think the reason the 3 point landing is so bad is also the reason it "looks cool" - its a big impact entrance, it dents the pavement and creates a little shockwave. Unfortunately in real life all reactions have equal and opposite reactions...

Oh, was that dubstep? I thought it was shit. Mad bike skills though.
