Banlieue 13 Trailer

Posted by misterparkour on July 2, 2008

We have reached the half way point of our Top 10 Parkour Commercial Countdown. With five commercials behind us and the best five still ahead we have decided to take a break and show an advertisement that is not featured in the countdown.

Below is the full length trailer from Banlieue 13 (District B13) which features David Belle, Cyril Raffaelli, and some of the best Parkour action ever caught on film. Although a shorter version of this trailer appeared on televisions across the United States, we did not consider this commercial for a spot in the countdown because as a movie trailer the production for this advertisement was fundamentally different than the others. With that said, this trailer/commercial (or rather the shorter version thereof) did an excellent job of creating excitement for the movie which grossed just about $1.2 million in the U.S. box office under a very limited release. You can watch the most famous scene from the movie by clicking here.
