Amazing stunts

Check out this video (http://www.transbuddha.com/mediaHolder.php?id=732) at http://www.transbuddha.com/mediaHolder.php?id=732. I would like to know what movie this is from.

That type of fitness is very popular in France. They climb and jump onto buildings and use everything in their environment as a fitness tool. My husband and I saw a few demo clips awhile back, and some of this video was clipped within the demo. I'm not sure it was an actual movie, it could have just been a demo to be used as a resume of sorts. This clip is also at www.killsometime.com and is titled The Escape Artist. However, if they really did turn it into a full movie, I would be jumping up and down to see it.

Ooops, sorry. They call it The Escape Master.

That is David Belle he is a very popular Parkour guy in france. I think that clip is from a movie he was in. Thanks for sharing.

Coach Chomycia,

Do you happen to know the name of the movie?

I just looked up David Belle at the Internet movie database http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1042642/. It could be the movie Banlieue 13 directed by Luc Besson. Luc Besson also directed The Fifth Element with Bruce Willis. Can anyone confirm that this is the movie?

Did a little more searching. Found the official movie site for Banlieue 13.

Good detective skills! Thanks. Now I just have to get my friend who speaks French to translate. Hopefully I'll be able to find an English version of the movie soon. If not, I think I'd be happy just watching the stunts.
