Five More Paintball Films to watch NOW! (Part III)
ALL THAT MATTERS, 300 FPS, World Cup Paintball Documentary, Cereal Killerz, Danny Manhattan
This is the third part of my short series showcasing my favorite paintball films of all time. With the incredible response to sharing five different films each of the last two weeks, I’m going to showcase five more. After this, I will share my final five picks next week before I publish the films in ranking order, #20 - #1. Feel free to send me your film lists! You can include them in ranking order or just a pick-5/10 format. I’d like to see the films that you think are worth sharing!
ALL THAT MATTERS
This paintball film was directed by Mikko Huttunen and produced by Alex Fraige and Oliver Lang. As far as modern paintball video projects go, this was extremely ambitious. The crisp high-resolution clips paired with an artistic film styling is what makes this extremely special. The film breathes paintball and showcases our sport at the highest level. Hormesis’s website has instructions on how to watch. Currently, the film requires a purchase in order to watch, but luckily Hormesis has some specially priced items!

300 FPS
When you talk about paintball movies, almost everyone who had a collection of DVDs brings this one up. The Old-School run-thru’s, and crazy marker setups stand out when watching in 2025. It’s still definitely worth the watch!

World Cup Paintball Documentary - Edmonton Impact (From Eclipse)
This video showcases the tail-end of the crazy run Edmonton Impact had in 2016. If you weren’t around the game at this point, Impact was the TEAM to beat. They were decimating teams in both the U.S. and Europe (back when U.S. pro teams could bring their entire rosters across the pond).

Cereal Killerz
Monkey with a Gun put out an absolutely insane series during the sport’s first golden age. The players featured in this film are entertaining and have interesting personalities. It was announced years ago that MWAG would be restarting this series of videos, but we haven’t heard any updates in a long time.

Danny Manhattan
This video doesn’t fit into the traditional ideas we have about paintball films. It’s short in comparison to all of the others that I’ve featured so far, but it tells quite the emotional story of a PSP Finals match between Dynasty and Red Legion. The paintball community has not reached a consensus on who made the video and the story behind it. Myths range from a collaboration between multiple industry cameramen at the time, a college film project, and someone sneaking onto the pro field without a media pass to film a pro finals match. It was uploaded under a ghost/burner YouTube account.

Thank you all for sending in your lists and sharing them with me! So far, I’ve shared 15/20 of the ones I’ll be ranking. What films do you anticipate that I’ll include next week? Are there any others that are underrated or haven’t received the viewership they should?
