Derzkiedni: Russians Running Wild!

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals. If you have been continually visiting this page looking for new posts, I applaud you. Chris has posted some nice thoughts about Rocky Balboa, which I should see by the end of this week.

I came across a movie trailer for a russian film, Derzkiedni. Even though "parkour" has been around for several years now, it is becoming all the rage on the movie screens. "Banlieu 13" aka "District B13" did it a couple years ago with the inventor of parkour David Belle, and the opening action scene of "Casino Royale" really popularized it because I know most Americans were wowed by that chase scene and kept telling me "i have never seen anything like that".

Now, the Ruskies are on board. While this trailer is totally in Russian, it does pose some important questions to me. What is up with that fat kid? What is up with the love interest's face? Do all Russians look that puny? What happened to the Ivan Drago-like race of super white men Russia is supposed to be full of? What happened to the mohawked spinning piledriving bear wrasslin giants? Come on Russia...you need to bring it like you brought it during the Cold War!

The movie itself looks pretty pedestrian, but it does seem to have some impressive stunt work.
