Huge respect and shoutout to all the stunt professionals out there always putting their bodies on the line for entertainment! …After that, for the bulk of Yes, Madam!’s runtime we get very little action, just a lot of cheesy, albeit occasionally amusing, slapstick and joking around.

John Wick (2014): Don’t Eff With a Hitman’s Dog
…is why the action in the film excels. Keanu was able to do 90% of his own stunts. “I’ve never worked with an actor who’s willing to work that hard, train that hard.

In the finale, there’s a point where John is driving his car and turns it 90 degrees and does a slide into one of the baddies. Keanu did that driving stunt himself, and they said he landed it so perfectly on m… Continue reading

…producer’s standpoint, what challenges do you face, like when working with stunts and stunt workers? JOKE: Well, it’s plenty big.
