Mirageman

No wires. No special effects. Just raw martial arts in a superhero setting. By "raw" I mean unscripted, and by "unscripted" I mean that they just went out and fought, and filmed it. Mirageman was a good movie, seen September 21. The same team had just finished their first feature, Kiltro, and the stunt team was well trained to work together. This synergy shows in the very different second effort. Pay special attent to the fight in the sauna - the guy who flies through the air and bounces his head off a column before landing really did just that. The movie's star added in the Q&A that no one was seriously hurt.
