movies with parkour/free-running

[Manny J.]

so i wonder if you guys could suggest any movies that have some cool parkour/free-running scenes. some movies that i've seen with awesome good pk/fr scenes in it are District B13 with David Belle, the father of parkour =D and Live Free or Die Hard with this guy called Cyril Raffaelli who just so happened to be in the movie District B13, too. any other suggestions?

James Bond Casino Royal is a very popular one, with a pretty hefty chase in the beginning.

Not officially parkour, but any jackie chan film under the Golden Harvest name (Just about everything pre 2000) has lots of great stuff.

yeah i heard how this guy named Sebastian Foucan was in the beginning scene of casino royale. i hear that he's crazy good and is like the co-creator of parkour. i'll definitely check it out

Yamakasi has parkour, but I haven't been able to find a version with english subtitles online anywhere yet.

I have subs for it if you want them

[Nick]

Yeah, is it online? Or do you have it downloaded or on DVD or something?

There's a 2006 movie I saw the other day called "breaking and entering". Not based on parkour at all; a decent movie, and one of the main characters is a tracuer and practices sometimes in the movie. I think if I remember correctly he uses parkour to break into some building, and run from the cops. Something like that. No where near as exciting as casino royale.

It's funny, as soon as I finish typing that ^ my mom calls me down to look at the TV. I guess shes watching an episode of House. And the intro scene is a guy trying to get away from the cops. He's fast and has great flow. Does some sweet techniques too. I'm going to see if I can find it on youtube.


Season 6, Episode 5. This is just 30 seconds. the chase is like 2 minutes but I can't find it.

You can watch the full scene on hulu* for free if you don't mind putting up with five seconds of commercials.

*Warning: House is an awesome show, and watching the opener may lead you to view the full episode, which may leave you craving more House.

Wow that chase was pretty damn good! Thanks for posting it

[Manny J.]

darn it i didnt think it could happen but it did...i ended up watching the entire episode of house. lol

[Bionicgrape]

That's a great chase, would have been nice if they had a slightly wider angle on some of his moves so you could see the whole motion

"Mall Cop" has parkour in it
