87Eleven Action Design is a prominent stunt and action design company based in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 1997 by veteran stunt performers and coordinators David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, the company is renowned for its innovative and highly choreographed action sequences in film and television.
The name "87Eleven" refers to the founding members' mutual time at Inosanto Academy, a martial arts school in Marina Del Rey, where the instructor roster ended in the digits 87 and 11. This connection highlights the founders' deep roots in martial arts and their emphasis on precision and creativity in stunt work.
87Eleven has been instrumental in reshaping modern action cinema. They are best known for their work on films like the "John Wick" series, which has been praised for its groundbreaking action choreography and has significantly influenced action filmmaking. Their expertise spans a wide range of activities, including martial arts, wirework, firearms training, and vehicle stunts.
In addition to their work in film, 87Eleven also offers training and preparation for actors and stunt performers through their facility, which is equipped to handle a variety of stunt preparations. Their influence extends beyond choreography, as both Leitch and Stahelski have moved into directing, further carrying the 87Eleven brand into different aspects of film production.
