 Cyril Raffaelli   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Cyril Raffaelli is one of the best martial arts talents to hail from France.
Seeing his performance in Jet Li's Kiss of the Dragon, it is obviously seen that Cyril was influenced by the Chinese martial arts.
If he is good at speaking English, it would be great to see him get a lead role in a martial arts film here in America because of his good looks and awesome martial arts skills.

 Bill Doskoch: Media, BPS*, Film, Minutiae :: TIFF - Banlieue 13
Belle is noted for an extreme urban French sport known as parkour (free running), which involves getting from A to B in the straightest possible line, no matter what you have to go over or through.
Raffaelli (known for a legendary fight scene with Jet Li in Kiss of the Dragon -- another Besson production) told the audience afterwards there was no wire work and no CGI.
Raffaelli plays the role of Damien, a lone-ranger undercover Paris detective who's equally adept with a gun or his fists and feet.

Raffaelli, who costarred in Kiss of the Dragon, was recently featured here on Kung Fu Cinema along with an amazing short film that he released on his official site.
Raffaelli plays Damien, a member of an elite police force specially trained in martial arts and weapons use for rapid intervention and infiltration in high-risk situations.
He takes on his most difficult mission yet to infiltrate a suburban sector controlled by a powerful gang in possession of a weapon of mass destruction in order to stop it from being used.

 Movie Review - Banlieue 13 - eFilmCritic
The initial 20 minutes you will want to replay in your head over and over again as the good guys get the jump on the baddies in so many creative ways that you may find yourself in mourning as the final blow of act one finally shifts gears.
Raffaelli’s Damien is assigned to a hair-trigger situation when a bomb is stolen by the Scarface-wannabe Taha (Bibi Naceri) and taken within the walls of District 13.
The only true disappointment of Morel’s work is that he’s frontloaded so ferociously that nothing short of Belle and Raffaelli taking on 200 guys at a time will satisfy its climactic showdown.

Taha is not a nice man: Lola is soon strung out on heroin and kept on a dog leash at his feet while Leito does form-preserving sit-ups in prison.
Damien's reward is an assignment that's as delicate as it is seemingly impossible: Penetrate notorious Suburb 13 and stop the accidentally triggered countdown on a deadly bomb that was hijacked by Taha.
Belle and Raffaelli were born to get out of filmic tight spots on short notice together -- their sinewy moves and martial arts maneuvers are consistently fun to watch and there's next to no expository dead air between action sequences.

He is doing a pretty good job of capturing the action rather than cutting around it.
David Belle and that Cyrill guy are really given a lot of room...so far at least...to work their physical magic.
I have to agree with an earlier post that it seems like Belle and Cyrill's talent went to waste for the rest of the movie after that fantastic opening 30 minutes.

 Movie Review | Banlieue 13 (2004)
Besson's "Banlieue 13" ("Suburb 13") is parts "Escape from New York" and a stunt demo reel for stars David Belle and Cyril Raffaelli; but most of all, Belle, who performs the film's more death-defying moves with inspiring precision and ease.
Sentenced to prison for a crime he very much committed, Leito gets busted out by idealistic supercop Damien (Cyril Raffaelli, last seen battling Jet Li in the Besson-written and produced "Kiss of the Dragon"), who is tasked with retrieving an experimental nuclear bomb stolen by Taha.
In his first feature film, Morel effectively keeps the film moving at such a breakneck pace that the whole thing is over before you know it, and there's never any down time to realize that the script couldn't have been more than 30 pages long.

Undercover cop Damien (Cyril Raffaelli) is paired with former ghetto vigilante Leïto (David Belle) to foil these villains.
Belle is one of the inventors of parkour, an urban freestyle sport in which participants attempt to surmount all obstacles in their path at top speeds and with maximum fluidity - an online search of Belle’s name will uncover clips of him performing the most amazing, gravity-defying feats.
Meanwhile, Raffaelli, a former member of Besson’s stunt team (familiar to audiences for his climatic battle against Jet Li in Kiss of the Dragon) complements Belle’s agility with blows and parries of equal strength.

France is the setting for this action packed extravaganza with Chinese star Jet Li, in only his second starring role in the U.S. Li plays Liu Jian, a Chinese officer who is assigned to Paris to join French police in uncovering the criminal activities of Mister Big (Ric Young), a Chinese drug smuggler.
