About The Big In Japan Tour & The HP 40 Installment
A double feature: In Big in Japan: Follow the highball masta (Jason Kehl) and The Brain (Shane Williams) as they explore the bouldering around Tokyo, repeating classics and establishing new testpieces. Guided by the local daimyo (Naoya Naito), our heroes travel through lush forests, remote sulphur mountains and slick river beds to discover the hidden gems of Japan. Along the way they meet a legendary warrior (Yuji Hirayama) eager to trade techniques. In The HP 40 Installment: Recently opened to bouldering, HorsePens40 quickly established itself as one of the premium bouldering areas in the USA. Shot in December 2003, this installment features 3 short movies focusing on different aspects of the game. First we got Jason Kehl working God Module, the best problem in the park. Then it is a medley of climbers and problems shot during the annual Mortal Kombat competition. Last but not least we follow Utah's strongman Steven Jeffrey on his 1st day in HP40 where he crushed about 10 v8s and v9s.
Directed by Alex Gerrits, The Big In Japan Tour & The HP 40 Installment leans on a strong ensemble — Jason Kehl, Shane Williams, Yuji Hirayama — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 2007.
