All the excitement over B13 – Ultimatum got us thinking about the first Banlieue 13 released in 2004. We went through our archives and quickly realized that we only had one of the two main chase scenes in the film in our MisterParkour.com library! So, without any further ado, here is the highly underrated and underappreciated second chase scene from Banlieue 13 featuring David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli. This sequence, although relatively simpler than the most famous sequence of the film (seen here), is as good as, if not better in some ways than, its predecessor. Although the talent and magnitude of the performance of the scene can only be fully appreciated upon multiple viewings in slow motion, David displays a raw athleticism in his jumps and movements that make this scene breathtaking and inspiring. Featuring some classic moves from Cyril as well, this scene was a fantastic way to bring Banlieue 13 to its cinematic climax.
