Vic Armstrong's action scenes are great!


Let him direct another movie!

reply

Indeed they are. I've always wondered why he never made another movie after this or why it has never been available on DVD. I guess working Second Unit is fun enough for him.

Meh!

well, this movie is definitely not one of the best written and acted out there, but the shoot-out and car chases rock.

Even though second unit is often done by stunt co-ordinators, Armstrong is more than just a 2nd unit guy. If you just clicked once more - on his bio you'd see that he's a legend. That's not Harrison Ford in Raiders in those classic sequences, it's Vic. He's the best stunt guy in the business, whether he's directing, or "just" being stunt co-ordinator. He's more than had his hands full over the decades without 1st unit! Besides, do you know how OLD the guy is?! That's a lotta hard work over a lotta years!
