“Fast. Easy. Secure.” This is the perfect commercial for me \u2013 because I use Apple Pay all the time every day, and because I’m a huge fan of director Edgar Wright already. Apple revealed a new 60 second commercial called Market Mayhem, an action short directed by Edgar Wright for the tech company. The story follows a man who enters a convenience store and fights off the group chasing him by buying items then smacking them with all the stuff. Starring Hao Qi in the lead role. The vibes in this fun film remind me of Rumble in the Bronx or the original TMNT movie from the 90s. Edgar adds via IG<\/a>: “I had a ton of fun making this and paying homage to my Hong Kong heroes, Mr Jackie Chan in particular. Working with this great crew and exceptionally talented cast was a riot, as you’ll see! My sincere thanks to all the crew that worked so hard on this one.” This is a blast! And it’s made for real by an actual crew, not another AI slop commercial. Have fun.<\/p>\n
