I have the French poorly subtitled version on DVD (Banlieue 13).
The fight sequences meet today's standards for hard-hitting martial arts film's but what will really stand out are the over the top "parkour" stunts (called "free running" here in the states).
You can find some great video clips if you search for "b13", "banlieue 13", "parkour", or "free running".
The plot is swiss cheese, and the best acting happens when no one is talking. There is a great scene with Leito's sister during their escape in the first vignette. But the stunts and fighting are the stand outs.
