Duel - By Z-Team

Uploader's Note: One of a few great martial art videos I have seen on the net. A noticeable amount of effort was put into making this entertaining. Great effort in Japanese dialog along with an action packed choreography deserves a notable praise. Hope you enjoy this as much as I have. Have fun...

Production Notes:
Duel was shot with a JVC GR D70E and a PANASONIC MX500 and a budget of about 200 (two hundred) US dollars. It was filmed on location in BEIJING, CHINA. At the beginning, the idea was to film a martial arts confrontation between Laurent "Lohan" Buson and Fabien Garcia but we quickly decided to develop a simple story around it that would serve the action. One of the originality of this film is that we decided to do it in Japanese, even though we are Caucasian and were filming in China. Beside the 2 main actors (Lohan & Fabien), the permanent crew on Duel was very limited: Fumika was in charge of the Japanese dialogue and was the main camera operator with Yannick Van Dam. A music entitled "Crying Avenger" has been composed especially for this film by Didier Buson.
