As you (hopefully) know, we have begun to fail results of action films for 2022 and we are really short of short film candidates. Therefore, we ask you to propose candidates among the best short films of the past year. Well, we are in a hurry to present you with a fresh selection.
Speed Dating
It's been a while since we've seen anything from the British martial artist, stuntman, actor, director and action choreographer Jean-Paul Lee (“Prison Break”, “Night Shots”, “400 Bullets”), but they didn’t wait for a short film called "Speed Date".
This is not only Lee's directorial project, but also a film based on his script, which tells the story of a not-so-good evening for a cool girl.
The main role in the film was played by the actress Elouise Lovell Anderson (TV series “Members of the Royal Family”), and among the names familiar to us, they appeared in the short film Lauren Plancel ("Prison Break") and Axel Well ("Avengers 2: Reckoning").
Shadow Fist 2: Ax Gang
With the second part of the old kung fu project "Shadow Fist" performed by a member of the Jackie Chan Stunt Association, martial artist, stuntman, actor and director Robert "Bob" Samuels.
You can watch the first part here, and in the second the fights will continue with the desire to find out whose kung fu is cooler. Companies are responsible for filming R4 Films LLC и Deviant Children Productions.
The main role still belongs to himself Robert Samuels (“Gambling Ghost”, “Red Wolf”, “7 Mummies”, “John Wick 3”), and he is accompanied by: Marco Johnson ("Deadly Game of Death") Andre Duza ("Alpha Rift"), Raymond H. Blon (“Company of Scoundrels”) and others.
Faster: A Chapter From The Cure
If you are a long-time reader of our site, you may remember a very cool short film called "Medicine" director and special effects specialist Akhmeta Atalaya.
Let us remind you that the film was about an antidote that removes a terrible virus walking around the Earth from the human body. We will once again be shown the whirlwind chases and interesting action design that made the first film famous.
Starring: Mashood Alam, Glen Beggerley, Melih Yilmaz, Angie Todora Dick, Jeremy Rivett and others.
Power Rangers: Resurgence
With another short film about the universe "Power Rangers" made by indie director Tee Hungt, who shot the video based on his own script.
The guys confess their great love for the franchise and in particular the Green Ranger, who has always been a complex dramatic figure.
The following stuntmen took part in the film: Branden Arnold, Bridgette Bentley, Courtney Chen and others.
Swords No Words
A small sketch appeared on the channel Adorea Olomouc, the guys from whom delighted us with historical short films "Knight of Hope" и "Patrimonium" and fights in them with edged weapons
This time, the masters of swinging sharpened pieces of iron recorded a video over the weekend while working on an unnamed big project. Actually, we have 4 minutes of fighting with swords, rapiers and daggers with a touch of martial arts and stunts.
Participated in the short film Jan Balik, Petr Prochazhka, Adam Lytle и Ian Mosler.
Payback
A short hand-to-hand video was shared by a martial arts practitioner, stuntman and fight choreographer Malay Kim.
About a year ago, he shot a so-called “proof concept” for a martial artist and actor Mike Mo (series “Street Fighter: Fist of Legend”, “Once Upon a Time in... Hollywood”, “Blade of the 47 Ronin”), which showed what he is capable of under the condition of a robbery authored by two stuntmen we know Tony Sre и Zarom Sukkarotte.
Majic Jacket
Another conceptual fight appeared on the channel of a martial artist, stuntman and action director Aaron Tony, who developed, staged and filmed the fight scene based on the concept of another director we know Emmanuel Manzanzares.
The stuntman handles the crowd attacking him beautifully Jenine Gonzalez (TV series "Doom Patrol")
Lead Home Me
And released another concept fight Josh Maybee – martial artist, stuntman, actor, director and leader of a creative association Rogue Origin Films.
The short film takes place in a post-apocalyptic world where it is extremely difficult to get food for yourself.
Stunt girls compete in a fierce battle Chelsea Goldsmith и Jackie Gerhardi.

Well, here you can use four lower rollers.
“Date” amused me with the ending. Fights this way and that, namely how to look at an artistic miniature.
“Shadow Fist” flipped through, bored.
“Faster” - they tried to make a cool motorcycle chase with shooting, but with a far from blockbuster budget.
You can watch “Ranger” if you have nothing to do.
I didn’t understand the joke with the swords, but I smiled. Oh, especially at the end. It turned out really great! I even put it in my stash. Although I still didn’t understand the joke.
"Payback" - not bad fights, but nothing special.
"Magic Jacket" amused me. The tricks are good.
“Home” - really cool MMA performed by two young ladies.
Thanks for your comment! We are waiting for candidates from you ;)
