Andrew McKenzie, Helping Arabs Blow Stuff Up

South Africa has many legends and celebrities, one of them has just made it big in the Arab world, and his name is Andrew McKenzie, this south African stunt coordinator has just collaborated with what might the biggest action flick the Arab world has produced to date. Al Maslaha Andrew has worked on big box flicks like Doomsday, The Island, and The Scorpion King.

Andrew has been helping Arabic movies with stunts and action since 2009 when he first collaborated with Ahmed El Sakka for Ibrahim Al Abyyad. But his better work with Arabic films was in "Escaping Tel Aviv", an action packed film that respects the mind of viewers. Andrew was there at the premiere for the movie along with the stars, man this guy looks like a giant. He is a giant among his fans and those who have seen his   work on the big screen.

His showreel for some of his stunts are also attached below. I am impressed that Arab cinema is able to attract top talents like that of Mr. McKenzie. His work makes going to see a movie in theater a compelling experience. I was very pleased with the quality of the stunts and the work that went behind the scenes to make such a first-rate movie.

I wish more people would go to the movies, and more movies where Andre McKenzie can put his expertise for our entertainment without putting others in harm's way. He is indeed helping Arabs blow stuff up on cameras in a big way. I like ti credit Andrew for making Arabic action movies fun to watch, and worth the experience  no more crappy explosions and car chases.
