awesome continuous shot fight scene

This is an amazing scene from the protector where it follows the main character (kham played by tony jaa) as he fights he was to the top of a building. watch here.

unlike the scene from Old Boy (shown in class) where the action is almost 2-d and tracked along the background, this scene is 3-d as both the character and the camera man move up three stories before the final showdown.
