Now, I'm a woman and a happily married one at that ... however, the stunt I'm most impressed with and the one I wouldn't mind auditioning for is the 'space massage'.
Poor lady was getting all mauled and bruised by Inara and pretended it didn't hurt a bit. Now *that's* acting.

"Just keep walkin, preacher man."

There are some impressive action sequences throughout, but the one that makes me whince everytime is the Stuntman who takes a bullet in the knee caps from Book, during the gun fight in WAR STORIES; and it sends him falling head first onto a platform type thing, which he then proceeds to bounce off (using his head!) to the ground! Incredible!! Looks like he is really feeling that one!

Jayne swings a pool cue, & knocks a guy for a full-layout back flip. The classic, guy sails over the bar & smashes the mirror behind it.

Great question, TheSomnambulist!!

I don't know if it was a stunt double or not but I loved everything Early did in OiS. Especially when he took out Book.

Oh, and the stunt double who took one for the team by going through the engine in Train Job .

i've done stunts in movies off and on (I was the guy hurled over a wall by Toxie in "Toxic Avenger 4", if you can stomach that kinda stuff) and my favorite stunt was definitly the guy flipping backwards after gettin hit with the pool cue.
The guy bouncing his head down the shaft(War Stories) was cgi. As was the guy getting sucked into the engine.

One thing that's always bothered me is Nathan Fillon on a horse. His shoulders are all slumped and his elbows are flying around like a chickens wings and...ughh, just makes me cringe every time.

*Twitch. Twitch.* I agree with you completely about Nathan. I don't expect him to ride perfectly, but the horse person within wants to yell at him. 'Shoulders back! Elbows in! Heels down! Hands still!' Maybe that's my English instructor coming out more than my Western rider, though...

well Somnambulist, I grew up making super-8 movies with my pals in NY and NJ and while my life veered toward the more normal professionally, one of my friends went to Hollywood to become a stuntman and stunt co-ordinator. He would keep me in mind for stuff he was working on on the east coast, like Toxie 4.
( I'm the ONLY guy hurled over a wall in a 4 way split screen during a big fight scene, also I'm the policeman in a saturn chasing a green car, and the pedestrian who jumps out of the way of both vehicles, oh, and a nazi in the background in one scene). I also had a good fight scene in "Knight of Swords" (good luck finding THAT one).
And here's the kicker: my friend worked for the last few seasons on Buffy!!Any time you saw Sarah toss a really big baddie through the air into something chances are it was him.
uh-oh, rievers, gotta go.

actually I've been into martial arts since Bruce, so my interest in stunts has always been fights, but here's an interesting note: in Toxie 4 when the car I'm chasing crashes through a big fence- it was a real fence in Poughkeepsie (spelling?) NY that no one could see from the street, so the guys behind the camers said " hey, could you just drive through it?" - of course we were game, so we did it for real and the gate went over the first car and looked like it was gonna hit my vehicle! But it missed my windshield by a good 6-7 feet.Man, it was fun. They paid me and fed me and put my name in the credits at the end and all I had to do was jump around some and drive like a idiot!!I trully envy people like my friend who can make a living having a blast.
I live in Massachussets now. Where do you reside? uh-oh, Alliance, gotta go.
p.s. the fence was trashed.

34 too old?! That's how old Kirk was when he assumed command of the Enterprise! The stuff you see me do in Toxie 4 were done when I was about 38. Jackie Chan's 50 and still goin' strong.

Looked at your page, your art is cool. Manga influenced, yet moe realistic. My favourite comic growing up was Master of Kung Fu (gee, wonder why), and the penciler for most of it's run is still my favourite artist to this day; Paul Gulacy...ever seen his stuff? He' doing Catwoman, do you get all our comics in the UK? I know you get all the good dvd's before we do!!
uh-oh, River and Kaylee, gotta go.

I didn't mention that I draw some. I'm trying to do a graphic novel, but the story is coming very slowly. I don't like inconstantcy in a tale, therefore I keep going back over it to re-think details instead of finishing it. But it'll come, sooner or later. I'll send you a copy when I finish (this year...?). It's science fiction, of course.

I'm also waiting for a Ralph Bakshi animated film, Fire and Ice. It's not on dvd yet in the states, not 'till July or thereabouts. Have you seen it? I really like rotoscope in animated movies, gives a real immediacy to the action.
