We can always hope for the best and cross our fingers that it won't be that bad!  Also kudos Max, I like the idea even if it doesn't relate to the movie.
P.S.  Thanks alot guys, my post looks puny now.  jk

This has nothing to really do with this movie but it seemed to fit here better. Someone on a music forum used a term for Parkour Coordination of a movie I find much better and thought kind of funny...

Hmm, reminds me too much of "parkouring" and "parkoury."  Wink

Best quote Ive ever seen. Its from IMDB.com about the movie

Quote
how about we get to the main topic of this subject.....Channing Tatum.

Now, c'mon. You think for a growing sport such as Parkour, they'd think of somebody of a higher calibur to do justice to the sport such as Chris Tucker.

"What all yall doin' up there, mane?!?"


Some people made good points too on there. There are many movies that have bad guys doing martial arts, but no one really sees them as a "bad" thing. The cop will be learning Parkour (probably) to help him catch the criminals.

And we are not anyone to say that there are not people out there that use Parkour for bad things.

cops learning parkour? Oh shit... we better start running faster, jk
That 'parkour gang' cracks me up. I can see this scene where there are two rival parkour gangs, running and jumping over roof-tops and shooting at each other with uzis.

I think it would be more like this: *Prepares epic voice*

In the beginning Traceurs and Freerunners co-existed in harmony, but on one fateful day in 2010, that all changed. The great Parkour war erupted, and life as we knew it was changed forever. There were two factions the Traceurs and the Freerunners, the war raged for several months with injuries on both sides massing steadily. The old police were unable to do anything as these warriors ere too quick to be caught. Eventually the Freerunners took over the country with flashy moves and empty promises (All politics, really), and re-trained the police to hunt down those that would dare to stand in their way. With the new improved police forces and the bitterness left behind by the war, the Freerunners coalition soon dispatched all of the 'old ways' Traceurs. However, one small bunch of Traceurs the greatest at their art and survivors of the war and the inquisitions both banded together. However do to laws and the risk of death they are forced to steal to survive, yet they never forget the principles which started them on their path of Parkour, and so they only steal from the rich, and any excess is given to the poor. However, the police eventually find the lcation of their hideout, and send a man in undercover...this is his story...  Sarcasm - Akh

*Regular voice* I don't mean to bash freerunners at all, so sorry if any of the above offended you, but I bet I'm not to far off on the general plot.

Wouldnt the traceurs just need to do some flashy vaults to be considered "freerunner" and have a disguise???

I like the idea... I could just see a scene of a freerunner doing a backflip and a traceur ramming him down with his head after doing a kong.
