A. Check with the Guild or union what their requirements are to do stunt work. Usually there's a list of basics you have to be examined on by a qualified co-ordinator, which may include specialities (such as high falls, fire, stairs, etc). And they will also specify the relevant work experience which may count towards you 'test'.

How would Bruce Lee do in the UFC?
Q. I am upset after reading the past polls that presented this question. The answers were provided by Bruce Lee fans that were overly confident that he would be champ. They even claimed that he could beat guys like Hughes and Liddell. Yeah, Bruce Lee invented many of his own styles and was very quick, but at 135lb he doesnt even size up against the Lightweight 155b fighters who are the smallest in the UFC. You must remember that Bruce Lee was an actor and performer with limited mano y mano fighting skills. He could break boards and knock down stunt men but those type guys dont win belts in the UFC.

Q. Remember? "Colt Seaver is a combination bounty hunter and stunt man. The series chronicles the adventures of a film stunt performer who moonlights as a bounty hunter when movie work is slow. He drives a big GMC truck with a eagle painted on it's hood. He chases after "bad guys" and returns them to the Los Angeles area. He has two companions, Howie (Douglas Barr) and Jodie (Heather Thomas). These two companions usually follow Colt in his adventures and sometimes they are on their own."

Do you think Hollywood doesn't do justice with Jackie Chan?
Q. While watching "The Bourne Ultimatum," it was hard to escape the influence of Jackie Chan on some of the moves performed by Matt Damon especially in the sequence where he is leaping from building to building, and jumping through open windows. Some may feel this kind of thing owes more to parkour the technique demonstrated in the French action movie "District B13" and in the opening sequence of "Casino Royale." You know, the seemingly unreal ability to climb up a wall or building in leaps and bounds. But I would suggest that Jackie Chan was doing that long before it became a street sport. So consider this column a Jackie Chan primer, aimed at those who know him only from his American movies the "Rush Hour" trilogy, the two "Shanghai [cont.]

A. You are absolutely correct with your analysis, he isn't given his due. I've seen supercop, condor and drunken master in addition to his more american-themed movies like rumble in the bronx. Hollywood has a history of passing over having asian leads in movies, which is why they always pair jackie up with someone instead of giving him his own movie. It's sad, because he's been busting his a$$ since the 70's. Bruce lee hit a similar wall when he first came to the states and was either relegated to sidekick status (Cato in the Green Hornet) or ignored altogether (He was supposed to star in the classic tv show Kung fu, but they ditched him for David Carridine because they didn't think America would respond well).

Is anyone kind of sorry the writers' strike is over?
Q. Okay, it's good the writers are going back to work, and they were right about getting their share of their work show on the Internet and other new media. However, without them, some entertainers, particularly the late-night comedians, were forced to get really creative. In particular, Conan O'Brien shone with singing, backstage bits, exploring the studio, and weird stunts. Jay Leno spoke more to his audience, and brought on doctors to tell doctor jokes, clergypeople to tell priest/minister/rabbi jokes, and so on. Now it's back to the usual--unless the performers decide to keep some of that innovation going. What do you all think?
