It looks like the guy went to the Jackie Chan school of action: [http://poststuffx.entensity.net/080805/media.php?media=escape.wmv](http://poststuffx.entensity.net/080805/media.php?media=escape.wmv) I don’t know if the site is SFW, unfortunately. ---

No idea, though they sound French. I clicked on the home page but quickly left. Might’ve been fine, but some things looked dodgy, so may very well not be SFW. ---

First off: very cool clip. Nice! Secondly, the rooftop jumping in the latter part of the clip reminded me a lot about what I’ve read on _parkour_, the art/sport of urban freeflow movement. Googling parkour, I came up with the name [David Belle.](http://www.element.tracers.ru/article.files/david.jpg) That help narrow things down? ---

Taking things one step further with Belle’s webpage on [www.imdb.com](http://www.imdb.com), I suspect it’s from a movie called [Banlieue 13.](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0414852/) ---

> [@Askia](#): > > If you rent it, let us know if it’s any good. It played the Seattle film festival a few months ago as a midnight flick, and I’m pretty sure you’re right in your identification. I didn’t see it, but the word was that the movie was kinda dumb but cool as hell in all the right ways. ---
