Mm-hmm. I know that that's where the world is heading, and I think that that's okay. You know, for me, as someone who enjoys action films, I feel the difference in the stakes of what's happening on the screen with the characters when I feel that it's real. And so I think there'll always be... The want for that, I hope, especially for action film lovers, but actually just really good storytelling.

If the visual effects and the CGI can't deliver the reality of really feeling the stakes behind it all, then it's always going to fall flat.

crazy story it was actually my first day on the batman live show at magic mountain and i was just rehearsing i had not even gotten in the best batman costume and i was so excited and i got hired for the job and um you know sometimes that's when it happens we were rehearsing this simple stunt where the car is sliding under a catwalk and i had to jump off the car and grab the um the bar and

and the car drives away and then I would do a back flip and land down and I went to do my back flip and I under rotated and I put my hand down and I broke my wrist in four places. I had two concussions and I have knocked out my front tooth. So that's pretty much comprehensive list of my injuries.

I love it. I mean, I think when, you know, I look again, I'm always looking at those. movies, when I'm prepping for a new film, to find inspiration. Because it is sort of like, how do I reinvent the gag and make it my own? And, you know, it's a magic, it's how do I reinvent the magic trick? How do I reinvent this dance and make the choreography my own?

You know, the swashbuckling pirate choreography would be a fun experiment. Like if I had a pirate movie, I would go back and watch, you know, Captain Blood and I would go back and watch Errol Flynn and watch all of that choreography and then, you know, take that. expand on it and make it my own. Um, you look at the old Westerns, like that's what Indiana Jones is, right?

You know, the dragging under the, you know, dragging under the stage coach by, which, which was, um, Yakima Canuck, who did that first stage coach gag. And then it's, you know, Spielberg repurposed it in, uh, you know, um, Indiana Jones. And so, um, I love going back, seeing what was done, finding ways to reinterpret it. And Jackie was the master of doing that too, Jackie Chan.
