Paolo Montalban Required Stunt Double?

I can't believe what I just read in the trivia section:

"Daniel Bernhardt and Jeffrey Meek was the only martial artists from the primary actors. Both 'Kristana Loken' and 'Paolo Montalban' required stunt doubles to perform their moves."

While watching the whole series, I figured out almost every stunt double, because they were easy to spot. Especially, Jaime Pressly and Bruce Locke (Shang) were so easy to spot.

But Kung Lao? C'mon?! I'm shocked the fact that he was doubled. I should re-watch those scenes. And by the way, what are your thoughts?

I actually spotted it quite often, but I've seen the show a zillion times.

It is most obvious in the first episode when Kung Lao and Shang Tsung fight. I actually recognized J.J Perry dressed as Kung Lao, though he does attempt to cover up his face properly, but you can still see its him.

After the first episode I'm not sure that much who it is, could be Christopher Leps.

It was hard for me to believe when I first found out, but after watching the series many many times, it wasn't hard to tell that there were stunt doubles for Paolo Montalban. In many instances it was visually obvious.
