Born to Fight 3
Another awesome Panna film, but for a different reason. Less emphasis on crazy falls, and more on fight choreography. Panna did some closer shots with this one too, rather than only using wide ones like in GML and Plook1. Acrobatic/stunty/fighting leads are well worth their long action intros. (Eric Jacobus)
