X-men Origins: Gambit

INFO

We’ve all watched X-Men Origins: Wolverine… where Gambit makes a cameo of sorts. Whilst Taylor Kitsch was awesome as gambit, his role wasn’t quite the kickass card dude in the cartoons and comics. I mean he barely used his signature playing cards!

With that…here’s our little take on Gambit after watching the movie… well… if he did card flourishes.

  17. Charlie says:

    That was seriously the coolest video I’ve ever seen. Why would Marvel take that down? That should be a promo trailer.

  18. Jeremy Hanrahan says:

    They took it down because the Virts captured what Gambit’s character should have looked like and their multi million dollar budget didn’t LOL

  19. kiDex says:

    Oh yeah this is deffinattely the most coolest flourishing video i’ve ever seen!

  20. Gareth J says:

  21. kip_108 says:

    xem xong clip phải nói là cực khủng :D

  22. Mathias Kersting says:

    Great job guys, loved it!

    However, every time I watch it I can’t help but notice that arm-movements doing the thumb-cut sequence were ‘masking’ the cuts as you couldn’t really see the true technical aspect of that particular sequence.

    If you watch it from a layperson’s point of view, it does kinda look like ‘Gambit’ is just holding cards in both hands and waving his arms around.

    Other than that, I enjoyed it and do wish that card-flourishing had role in Gambit’s character of the movie.

  23. Jack says:

    That was one of the best flourishing videos I have ever seen! I have watched it for the umpteenth time now haha! Keep up the good work!

  24. Mouseff says:

  25. Le'Star says:

    As a comicbook fan and as a graphic artist myself, Gambit is my fave character
    in Marvel comics universe, before i watched it i was wondering if could see card
    flourishing skills but then again theres none, Gambit is my fave character since preskool years.
    This vid is really awesome, please do more! Good day and Godbless.

  26. toxicstud says:

    • The Virts says:

      As mentioned in the credits under the video, the track is entitled “Gambit”, and was composed by our sound guy Roland Lim. It can be found on the official Anaconda Original Soundtrack, which can be currently purchased over at WLD2009.com.

      -Kev, The Virts
