Enjoy

I was pleasntly surprised to get a call the other evening informing me that myself Wendy and all the other stunt performers on "I AM LEGEND" are nominated for a SAG award. This is a new category so it is very exciting and rewarding to get nominated.

The award ceremony is at the end of January so Wendy and I will try and get there, keep your fingers crossed we are up against some tough opposition.

Above is a photo of my great friend Jordi Casares, when the photo was taken we were in China on MI 3. Jordi was recently stunt coordinator on "Charlie Wilson’s War". I have not seen Jordi since my birthday in New York when he flew in as a surprise guest and he is arriving here in the UK from Spain tomorrow along with another great friend Bronco McLoughlin, Bronco was the missionary going over the falls at the start of "The Mission".

Happy and prosperous New Year to you all, I am back in the UK briefly and have just put the Xmas decorations away for another year.

One of the great presents I received was a book titled "THE LIFE AND TIMES OF A FALL GUY". The book is written by one of the greatest stuntmen of all time JOE POWELL, this is must reading for anybody with the slightest interest in the film world and or the stunt world.

When I started in the business Joe was a giant and was one of the people I tried to model myself on, he did some of the greatest stunts in an age that did not have the benefit of the modern technology that we have today, it was all achieved with talent, instinct and sheer guts.

I salute him and urge you all to buy and read his book, it is available @ Amazon.com

This is a photo of me sadly leaving the fantastic set of MUMMY 3 on my last night in Shanghai.

Hi everybody, I am now back in the UK catching up on all the paper work that has accumulated since I have been away and also getting ready for Xmas which is one of my favorite times of the year.

I hope to keep you all up to speed with the new work that is coming in but I am taking time off until January before I start anything else. MUMMY 3 was a great experience and one of the most enjoyable films I have worked on for many years mainly due to Rob Cohen’s fantastic attitude and demeanor, it was a refreshing change I must say.

Here is a photo inside IMHOTEPS night club where Wendy and I along with Rob Cohen had little cameo roles, from L-R Wendy, Myself, John Hannah and Liam Cunningham.

Anyway keep writing in folks and I will endeavor to answer all your questions, have a great holiday season and lets look forwards to a great 2008 with some other new film to look anticipate.

Hi everyone, I apologize for not writing for such a long time but it has been incredibly busy but we are now almost wrapped so I will have more time to write. Rob Cohen has also been keeping you all up to date with his fantastic website as well.

Here is Michelle Yeoh on her last day with us and she is surrounded by all her friends from the Bond we did together "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" these are my AD, camera crew and grips and we have done many pictures together all over the world. It was lovely working with her again she is such a beautiful person inside and  out.

This week Rob Cohen is shooting the interior of IMHOTEP’S night club and then that is it we all go our separate ways ! This has been an exceptionally great film to work on with a wonderful international crew with Rob at the helm and he has led by example.

I look forwards to our next collaboration.

We've just published Vic's 2005 interview with Inside Stunts Magazine. The article gives an insight into Vic's career and lifestyle as a stunt performer and co-ordinator.

Check it out now!

Here is a quick picture of some of the stunt team just before I leave Tian Mo for Shanghai. The little misunderstanding has been sorted out, it was confusion on my part.

This is my son Scott on the left, actor Luke Ford in the middle and my nephew James on the right. Luke is a fully fledged part of the stunt team now and is throwing himself headlong into all the action like the professional he is. Luke stays behind in Tian Mo working with Rob Cohen to continue shooting the huge finale and then we will all meet up again in Shanghai for the chase sequence.

Hi everybody, it appears there may have been some misunderstanding regarding my blogs. Once I have cleared everything up I will give you some  more news.

I am in the process of leaving Tian Mo, Beijing and heading to Shanghai to prepare a big chase sequence there. Once I get settled I will give you all an update. Thanks again.

In the meantime anybody in Southern California should mark down December 7th, 8th ,& 9th and head to one of my favourite places Palm Springs to visit "STARFAIR" which is an event organized by the Palm Springs Walk of Stars called the "Classic Film Festival" and it will be attended by lots of  stars & film makers that have been honored with a star on the sidewalk in Palm Springs such as Tony Curtis, Rhonda Fleming, Tab Hunter, Carroll Baker, Trini Lopez, Lindsay Wagner & Jane Russell to name just a few.

In 2005  I was lucky enough to have been honored with a star which is situated at 266 South Palm Canyon Drive and depending on my work commitments I am planning on attending the Festival which will also be screening 26 classic films that have been shot in Palm Springs. If I can make it there I will be happy to buy you a drink.

Hello everybody. Many thanks for all the Birthday wishes, we had 17,000 hits on the website during last week, Thank you all. I am now busy in China shooting away and here is the first photo of Tina Mo where we will do the final battle amongst a lot of other shooting for various sequences.

The main unit join us next week so I will get some more photo’s of our actors and the location once everything settles down here.

For all you action fans here is a great site for Stunt Equipment and Stunt Rigging.

 http://www.bickers.co.uk.

The company was founded by my great friend Dave Bickers who was one of our most famous Moto Crosser’s or "Scrambler’s" as it was known in his day. Dave along with Bud Ekin’s (who was Steve Mc Queens stunt double and who inherited all Mc Queens collection of Indian Motor cycles on Steve’s death) founded Moto Cross as we know it today in America.

I met Dave when I was working on a little film and had to ride a moto cross bike, my heart sank when I was told the technical advisor and motor bike supplier was the legendry Dave Bickers, but as it turned out Dave was the greatest guy ever and I saw in him an incredible talent for thinking laterally when confronted with a mechanical problem and coming up with a solution so logical it defied imagination.

Since then we have collaborated on many many films (see his credit list) and Dave also constructed  the very first film "Fan Descender" for me. This won me an Academy of Motion Pictures Science and Technology Oscar. Dave’s company Bickers Action is now the foremost in the business and is run by his son Paul. Have a look at the site and the equipment and gadgets they have invented and the movies and TV shows they have contributed to.

This is a shot in from a movie Dave and I worked on up in Alaska called "BEAR ISLAND" we had 8 of these Hydrocopters and we did a chase sequence with them and kept crashing them (as one does) so this particular day we were down to the last Hydrocopter and suddenly the supercharger blew up, now we were down to none and the light was fading, Dave saved the day by changing the engine and super charger in 19 minutes flat which enabled me to do this stunt and get us all back on the Russian liner that was our home for the shoot and we cruised off to the next location overnight. This is just a small example of Dave Bickers incredible knowledge and skill and contribution to the worldwide film business
