So parkour seems to be getting bigger and bigger over the last couple of years. I first found out about it through some random clips on YouTube. Then there are the French action movie Banlieue 13 which had parkour stars as the main actors. Even the opening scene of Casino Royale had a parkour sequence. And now there’s a video game called Mirror’s Edge based on the premise of parkour messengers in a totalitarian future.
But little did I know how old parkour really was… here’s a clip from a movie called Gizmo made in the 1930s!
