Real Life Hwoarang Tekken: 80+ TKD & Hapkido for Action Film - Eric Jacobus
Now, this is a really nice stunt video. There is a lot of foundation, a lot of tricks, and just some overall dope techniques. Of course, there's always gotta be one person on these YouTube channels saying this is impractical, that is impractical. So what? It's practice..it's showing off some moves! In all honesty, a few moves would be great for unpredictable situations. Like I've always said, it's never about what you do, it's how and when you do it that makes the most impact.
With that being said, I'm absolutely amazed that this guy is slated to play Stryker in Mortal Kombat: Legacy. I was automatically said in my mind, "Stryker is a cop..how the hell is doing all of this crazy textbook and beyond textbook stuff?" This has me really excited for the craziness that will be Season 2 of Mortal Kombat Legacy. If you haven't seen season 1, you can view my Playstation blog. All the episodes are posted there.

Jackie Chan: My Stunts
I particularly like this film not only because Jackie Chan
is in it, but he does a great job telling his perspective on the behind scenes action - editing, stuntwork, camera work.
He goes really in depth with over 35-40 yrs of industry work..he can do it all. This made me have a great respect for him not only because he's in his 50's and still does his own stunt work - he is also very involved behind the scenes.
I never really considered the depth of how detailed and important each job of a filmmaker maybe. Jackie
goes into depth of how timing is really key with choreography and how a simple shout or grunt can be the difference in correctly timing your kick or punch or the latter: accidentally kicking your co-worker in the face or worse.
I respect Chan
for doing films the old way of actually using the little trick wire, the pennies on the glass, using knock off shoes instead of real shoes or fake props. The camera movements are so fast and the editing is on point to where you cannot readily tell that its fake or real. The whole film is posted on youtube, or you can buy it on Amazon 
or other places. Here is an excerpt from the film:

Sorry, but they would not allow an embed for the English version otherwise I'd post that instead of the url:
