[Lorinamets1]

Love it !!!

[kravmagiczka]

cool

[xcalibur4ever]

good shit darren

[talbot193]

hey man don't listen to some of these asshole keyboard warriors about your weight...we can see your level of talent and skills and as a martial artist thats what is important. But your always getting better each video, skill wise, cheorgrphy wise, and filming wise as well. Best of luck for the furture mate

[dardrex777]

@talbot193 Thanks man

[TropicalNeon]

too fat for martial arts

[dardrex777]

@TropicalNeon Obviously not if I'm doing it just fine. Most skinny people I know can't even kick.

[danvanzandt]

@TropicalNeon Says the anonymous troll with no videos showing any martial arts skills to speak of. Darren jumps and kicks extremely well, and that's before any consideration is made to body type. Post a video of you doing better or drink a nice tall glass of STFU.

[dardrex777]

@danvanzandt I never expect these types of comments defending me, but I really appreciate them. Thanks man.

[TropicalNeon]

@danvanzandt i dont want to embarass myself like the guys in the video did.

[dardrex777]

@TropicalNeon I don't see what is so embarrassing about doing flips, high stunt falls, fast hand exchanges, and jump kicks.

If you are worried about embarrassing yourself then you must really suck... which means you have no place calling anyone else terrible since you don't know any better. Which makes your comment.... ENTIRELY USELESS :)

[TropicalNeon]

@dardrex777 yes i do, cause i wouldnt do a video because i suck , like he sucks, when it comes to this ;), faillllllllll, ur probly his gay daddy.

[dardrex777]

@TropicalNeon You haters are all the same... you make me laugh. You clearly acknowledge that you suck then seem to think I suck even though you clearly admit you are not good enough to say what good is.

You are basically a 5 year old trying to tell an adult how its done... your stupidity is hilarious.

Also it's pretty clear a hater is 13 years old and unintelligent when he uses the term "fail" and uses homophobic slurs because he has nothing clever to say

[obi1canblome]

Ur amazing Xx

[shengchenfan]

Awesome!

[mack1er]

cool



[danvanzandt]

Badass reel, bro.

[jlhsnake]

Keep it up, I'm a fan since I stumbled on "the wager" quite some time ago. I stumbled upon your vid while doing research for my own short that never happened sadly, hopefully I'll share a short with you soon.

[dardrex777]

@jlhsnake I'm glad to hear that you've been a viewer for such a long time and I sincerely wish you luck on getting a project off the ground man. I'd love to see it when you are done.

[TheDomodel]

Awesome!!! great fighting...

[Lorinamets1]

Great job guys !!! I am delighted !!!!

[SmurfYeahBizNitches]

Wow you are a big dude to be doing flips and shit like your doing. I'm 120 athletic and still cant do half that shit. Props.

[StoryTimeWithFur]

Really Well Done. Thumbs Up!

[TheGodsamurai]

nice action montage Darren. maybe we get to see even better stuff this year. maybe that was one of your new year resolution of 2012 lol. BTW, i seen mostly MMA, jujitsut and wresting moves in here, as well ask acrobatic kicking, I would like to see some Chinese martial art in here just for the sake of varieties. U dont have to be the one who perform them, could be someone else, but if u could, that would be sweet.

[dardrex777]

@TheGodsamurai I don't do MMA dude... there's only 2 MMA moves, an arial armbar and a legbar. Other than that I never do MMA.

There are 3 Kung Fu exchanges. Just because I don't wear a Kung Fu gi does not mean the moves aren't there. Kung Fu was my first background if anything that tends to be 40% of my fighting.

[TheGodsamurai]

@dardrex777 oh ok, glad to hear that. BTW, do u take suggestion on action scene or short film? i gotta admit, u are very good stunt man, and everyone else too. Sorry i asked too many questions. lol sort of curious a lot

[dardrex777]

@TheGodsamurai I have nothing against questions lol Yes a lot of the times all of us exchange ideas while we are shooting

[TheGodsamurai]

@dardrex777 oh i almost forgot to ask. when will The Wager Two come out? i saw the teaser and it damn good. either it not out yet or i didnt look hard enough.

[dardrex777]

@TheGodsamurai Whenever we can get the final scene shot... there have been schedule issues for a while.

[studioMAH]

i check your video 2009 - 2011 and i give you one information your futur is nice :)

[flaviofenati100]

great

[Hulky97]

@DragonNightKKL

I think you don't even know how hard it is to do such of those good videos and fight that good.

[Hulky97]

Nice like all of your vids!

[KCKcorp]

Your badass man!

[DragonnightKKL]

Try to loose your weight.

[dardrex777]

@DragonnightKKL That's all you have to say??? If I'm able to do physical actions I think that cues you I'm pretty active.

And by the way I've gone from 210 to 190. And that's pretty much the best it's gonna get.

The whole point of a reel is to display skill... not to meet your standards of appearance.

[Bladevampirek]

thats pretty awesome. I love the commando suits :D

[SolidusLightning777]

@dardrex777 that was pretty rude of him... besides, you're doing Tony Jaa-level acrobatics. i dont think your weight is an issue at all.

[1luispanda1]

Tu vs jackie chan kien gana

[summonskall]

[dardrex777]

[Ozirah54]

Hi, Darren. I really like your work and respect your style. Alas, I am just a working guy who likes action/adventure films. Wish I knew someone in the movies to help your career along. Keep making your films!

[123gamer153]

awesome vid!! :)

[1luispanda1]

Muy bueno quisiera pelear así..

[dardrex777]

@1luispanda1 Gracious

[8bobthebuilder]

it's looks like you're really fighting these guys and yet no one gets hurt..it's great!

[cpo2u]

Dude... don't forget your YouTube fans when you make it big in Hollywood!

[dardrex777]

@cpo2u I definitely will not. I'd be nowhere without you guys. Here's hoping I get there. :)

[seanw23]

do you have full video for the equilibrium style gunfighting?

[dardrex777]

@seanw23 we are still working on the vfx for it. That was the only clip I had of it so far

[seanw23]

@dardrex777 oh

[dardrex777]

@seanw23 once we finish that you'll see it

[FuryoftheFilmFan]

I have seen a LOT of action movies, I can spot the gimmicks, the quick cuts from directors not comfortable with their stunt work and lack of skilled actors. You got skill and talent my man, can't wait to see you in the movies, it's gonna happen.

[dardrex777]

@FuryoftheFilmFan thank you man. That means a lot that you said that.

[Rokujou1]

big guy moving like that can be deadly

[rubmyclips]

nice reel and keep up the good work

[Fearlessmaster12]

Great work brotha, you really have come a long way from your earlier productions you made years ago back in redding. You have stepped up your game as a screen fighter and film maker. Wish you the best of luck my brotha and i hope to team up with ya some day :)

[dardrex777]

@Fearlessmaster12 Ditto to you as well man

[FaytLinegod]

Awesome stuff, bro. :)

[chenai16]

Wow, great, great work bub! You're getting better everyday. I really like the footage from the ninja movie (in your camo) falling lol & it's just amazing to see how far you've come. Choreography & skill wise. I'm so proud & happy for you. You also have a great team of passionate people which is the best thing. I love you & hurray, you finally finished this reel!! lol :-*

[dardrex777]

@chenai16 Thank you for supporting me baby :)

[chenai16]

@dardrex777 You're welcome Buster Keaton :D :-*

[dergeier117]

I'm intrigued by that little glimpse of a knife fight.

[dardrex777]

@dergeier117 Sadly it's really short but you'll see it soon
