LBP Stunts will not be denied. It’s just that simple. Even the throwaway material from those guys
is worth a look. Their latest experiment
was conducted as a test of the Sony FS100 Super 35mm digital motion camcorder. It’s a bit of test footage depicting a physical
confrontation between a mugger and a victim in a multilevel parking garage. Emmanuel Manzanares plays the attacker and Shawn
Bernal the target. As expected, the two
engage in a bit of fierce fisticuffs. As
is the standard for LBP stunts, the choreography comes at the viewer fast and
furious. Moves and countermoves are
unleashed in rapid and hard hitting succession.

'The Raid' Gets a Somewhat New Trailer
As the excruciatingly long wait for the North American
release of Gareth Evan’s Indonesian action extravaganza The Raid continues, plans have already been announced for both a
sequel and a Hollywood remake.
Meanwhile, many of us stateside continue to salivate over the red band trailer
that got released a few months back (you can read my review here). A new
extended trailer got released recently, which contains much of the same footage
as the first. It was originally shown at
the Indonesia International Fantastic Film Festival. Gareth
Evans posted it on his blog yesterday. It
shows a bit more graphic violence and boasts a new musical composition by Fajar
Yuskemal and Aria Prayogi. It again
emphasizes the insanely kinetic energy on display in the various fight scenes
and shoot outs. Though it offers only
minor differences from the red band trailer, it still demands countless viewings
by any self-respecting adrenaline junkie.
Such well-crafted carnage goes a long way in satiating the collective
longing for the heyday of Hong Kong action cinema. Screen Gems needs to get this into North
American theaters and then onto Blu-Ray ASAP.
