Stuntmen are the unsung heroes of the movie business, and that's not a bad thing, I don't think.
For years and years to come, these films will be watched again and again.
And even, I suppose, when I'm dead and gone, either my kids and my grandkids will be watching the film,
and they can say, you know, yeah, that's me great-great-granddad, or whatever,
and you'll still be entertaining them. It's a good feeling.
One of the stunts I did for St. Trinian's, the first movie, I was doubling Colin Firth.
And I get...the girls throw Colin Firth's character out the window.
So, I had to jump out the window, which was 28 feet up, and I was landing in three feet of water.
You wouldn't know the way to the hockey pitch, would you?
Whooooooah!
So, at the moment, we're putting on some squibs, squib hits, which you'll be able to explain better than I will.
It's basically, there's blood packs in here.
He'll basically have a single hit button, and he'll be able to control the hits.
So as he hears the shots of the gun, he'll be able to hit this, and then, obviously, explode the...
detonate the bags on the front of his chest. And it'll part the shirt, and obviously, look like a bullet hit.
You need a high physical fitness.
You need a hell of a lot of skills to be a professional stuntman over in England, that's for sure.
You need to be professional in, like, at least six different sports, like martial arts, horse riding, trampolining, rock climbing.
The scene we're gonna do today is, we're gonna have...there's gonna be this character that's up on top of this building.
And he's got on top of this sort of city hall type building.
And he's gonna...he's got a gun, an automatic weapon.
Police are gonna come in. They're gonna ask him to drop his weapon.
He doesn't. He gets shot twice in the chest, and then he'll fall to his death, obviously, hitting the floor.
So, that's what we're gonna hopefully achieve today.
Armed police!
You all right, Roy?
There is [are] a lot of times where you do end up with either broken bones or bruises, sprains, aches.
I'm only 30 years old, and to be honest, when I get out of bed in the morning, I feel like a 60-year-old.
I'm creaking, and I'm aching.
Well done.
Good job.
I'm standing up, chatting to you. So, I think it's gone pretty good.
I've got adrenaline going through me at the moment, so it's kind of a nice feeling.
So you'll have to forgive me if I sort of go a bit sort of in and out. But, yeah, that was good.
And there's there're only 280 of us in the U.K. that are professional and that do this job.
And to be part of that elite group, I'm really proud.
I get to meet some great people, like some of the best actors in the world, which is great.
I get to die, but still go home at the end of the day, as well.
So it's kind of -- it's a really good feeling because I've always got a different story to tell when I get home.
