“Escapee” – The Stunt People fight, fall, and get concussions Hong Kong-style

Back in 2003, I expanded The Stunt People to San Francisco, where I met Ed Kahana and Andy Leung. After doing small projects we went under the San Francisco State University parking garage for five school nights and shot Escapee. Originally a part of the Stunt Blade Alpha compilation, it got enough attention that I figured it could stand alone. Here it is.

  • 0:20 – We got into this room under our college because the door was left open by a custodian. We took advantage of it and went nuts.
  • 0:56 – Accidental kick to Yasu’s jaw.
  • 2:38 – Concussion
  • 4:34 – Stick hits Ed in face

You can also see Escapee on the Everyone Is Kung Fu Fighting Again DVD, which has been discontinued. They put Escapee on this DVD without our signing a contract, but whatever, maybe some people out there saw it. The whole DVD’s compilation can be viewed on YouTube here.

    The video that got me interested in The Stunt People. Used to watch Stuntblade Alpha over and over back when I first found it. Assassin was also an inspiring watch.
