Congratulations to everybody that worked on "BATMAN" it is turning into a record breaker. Paul Jennings the stunt coordinator and all his crew have done a great job. Chris Corbould and the special effects crew also have pulled out all the stops and made a major contribution to the movie, it would not be anywhere near as good without their combined talents. Chris's crew also built the enormous BAT BIKE which is a revolutionary machine and stunning to look at and a marvel of engineering. It was piloted by Jean-Pierre Goy one of the great motor cycle stunt riders around today. J-P rode the BMW for me on "TOMORROW NEVER DIES" in 1997 with my wife Wendy sitting on the handle bars and various other positions doubling Michelle Yeogh while he did some absolutely amazing tricks with the bike including wheelie's and the jump over the helicopter at the end of the chase, which is still considered the best bang for your buck as far as chases go. J-P said to me one day "Vic I am so honored that you trust your wife's life to me during all these motorcycle stunts" and I answered him "yes J-P but you do not know how much I have her insured for !!!"  It is so sad about Heath Ledger he was such a talent and after I worked with him on "THE FOUR FEATHERS" I tipped him as the next Harrison Ford. Jordi Casares and myself worked with him on his horseback riding and got him to do a pony express mount in amongst the 200 hundred charging dervishes during the battle sequence, you see him get off the ground, catch the loose horse, vault on and gallop into a close up. I was so impressed that I included the stunt in my show reel which you can see on this site.

Hi everybody, I first must apologize for taking time off from updating the website. Wendy & I spent some time at our place in Los Angeles and did some house remodeling. I then did some work with Tom Cruise and it was great fun seeing him again and he is as game as ever doing his own stunts, if I had stayed longer I would have asked him for tickets to the LA Galaxy to see his mate David Beckham play, maybe next time. While I was in town I saw several cuts of MUMMY 3 with Rob Cohen and the more I saw the more excited I was about the final film, it really zips along at a great pace and Rob has done a fantastic job in a) directing it, and b) in editing it, he has given it his distinctive look and feel as you would expect from the director of "xXx" and "FAST & FURIOUS". I am currently in Bangkok and there are posters everywhere advertising it and the locals are dying to see it.

Talking of Bangkok, I am here for Harvey Weinstein working an on a movie called "SHANGHAI" which is directed by a very talented director called Mikael Hafstrom who's last film "1408" was a big hit. This movie is set in almost the same period as MUMMY 3 but deals with the Japanese invasion of Shanghai. In the photo above I am with some Thai friends, on the left is Prachya (Prach) Pinkaew, Prach directed the amazing Thai action movie "ONG BAK" between him and myself is my great friend for over 15 years Kawee (Seng) Sirikhanaerut, Seng is my stunt coordinator here in Thailand, he is the #1 and has worked on many international movies around the World, on my left is Panna (Kitt) Rittikrai, Kit is Seng's teacher and mentor and was the fight choreographer and action director on "ONG BAK". This will be my 10th show in Thailand and the last time I was here I directed a commercial for RANGE ROVER that went on to win several awards and it is always fun to come here and meet all my friends again, many like Seng have now moved on to much higher positions. It is also great to see how the Thai film industry is expanding and coming on par with the rest of the World as far as technicians goes, the locations Thailand has to offer are as before also stunning. Plus the tropical hot and humid conditions help my aching bones and I play some of my best golf here !!

All for now FOLK's but I promise I will keep the site up to date regularly
