Fried Fox?

Did he even READ his contract?

nah, took the usual nip approach and jumped right in.

Planning! Panning!
We don't need no stinking Planning!

I don't know why he's upset. It's no different when he plans them!

Soooo... if they let him in on planning the stunts ahead of time, is something finally going to click so that he wonders, "Hey, why is the good guy here fighting soldiers and marines and such?" (That is, presuming the soldiers/marines are American, which I suppose they could not be.)

Oh, and if he's filling the whole lead role and not just the stunt parts...
doesn't this movie have lines?

I can hear it now...
"Lines? Dialogue? I knew we forgot something!"

Pah, its an action flik ... if Arnie has taught us anything its that the best ones consist only of one-liners and lots and lots of explosions 8)

but the stunts must be bad if NIP is objecting to them

Hmph. Then he's taught me nothing.
WORDS! It needs WORDS!
And then Nip can finally figure out what the movie actually is, too.

You have to remember who the Director is. He is used to making up dialogue later to support his perverted views.

But eventually he's got to have Nip say the lines, and then Nip can figure out what's going on, and then we can have sabotage.

That's assuming they don't do what they did in Arnold's first movie, and just give him fake lines to say and dub the real dialogue (read by another actor) over them...

You mean that some of his lines in "Conan the Barbarian" were re-dubbed? Seriously? I know he had a pretty thick accent then, was that the reason?

I'm just remembering his line to the question of "What is good?"...."To crush your enemy, see him driven before you and to hear the lamentations of the 'vimmin'."

I'm asking because I've met and driven the man when he was here in Orlando. And speaking with him, the accent is still very much there, but his speech completely understandable.

Hmm, isn't there a stun man's union?

If the director gets snippy about Nip wanting to see/plan the stunts ahead of time, things could get interesting for lardbutt.

Yes there is and in order to work, Nip had to join......question is, does director Lardbutt know that Nip's a pro with a couple of movies under his belt. I think LB just may be under the impression Nip's just one o' the "not too inbred looking" local yocals to star in his flic.

There is potential for all manner of chaos and shenannigans here.........!!

Malarkey County is probably in a right to work state, so they might not have checked for his union status. (What! Shame on you, Director. ) However, Nip must have given his resume or put his experience on the application form.

Director was probably too lazy to read em He seems to be cutting alot of corners in making his "big action flick"

I was thinking more from the insurance POV. I mean the backers should have some kind of insurance for accidents on set and during shootings, and for the later it is likely the insurance company will insist on a stunt coordinator/stunt men. So that means union guys. Get the stuntman's union POed, and suddenly you can't hire ANY professionals, and the union might be POed enough to let the insurer know the movie's been blackballed...

OTOH if their is a stunt coordinator, shouldn't HE be the one checking the stunts out ahead of time, or is Nip supposed to be that too?
