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.

So we had rented this house and it actually was a, I think a family was living in, um, Florida or the landlord was living in Florida. And I, I was, I actually moved into this house. There was a friend of mine, um, Tim Rigby, I think who actually had the lease. Um, my friend, um, was Brad Martin at the time.
