I came across these today.

The Parkour is just a lot of fun to watch, as always:

And great music to go with it.

Can you imagine a Chase with a Parkour guy?
"Ok, he was 20 feet ahead of you, but somehow he grabbed onto a pole, swung himself up on a ledge, jumped and bounced off that wall, and ..... he's now 30 feet behind you.. "

The second is Chocolate, a new film by the director of Ong-Bak. (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0368909/)

I'm really looking forward to this one.. and I really like that they put the outtakes in the middle like that.

Check out the most recent Bond movie (Casino Royale). The majority of the opening action is Bond chasing a parkour master through a construction site. Also, take a look at District 13, a French film set in a rather dystopian near future. That has a LOT of parkour in it.

In fact, I'm pretty sure one of the male leads in District 13 is one of the guys who 'invented' Parkour. So yeah, definately one of the go-to movies for Parkour.

David Belle is the founder of Parkour as a physical ands mental discipline and Cyril Raffaelli is one of his close friends and is also a traceur.

Parkour, last I checked, can be modeled in SC using the Spider and Equilibrium chains in the core book, and the Springing chain from the boards. I'm not sure what book these might see print in though.

McClane had fits with a parkour baddie at the end of "Live Free or Die Hard", but the guy was rather confined (not a lot of running) but it was impressive to watch.
