Speaking of explosives, fistfights, and other forms of mayhem, check out this short You-Tube video: it's three brief (and violent) excerpts from "adventure" videos that I made with a couple of friends in '83-84:
1.) a "noir" detective drama
2.) a contemporary story of military guys who meet a crazed old jerk (guess who) in a bombed-out mid-eastern village
3.) a Western. (I take plenty of physical abuse in all three).

The chief interest in these videos is the scenery--many of the structures we used were old and decaying and are no longer standing. Especially cool is the huge device that was used to turn railroad gondola cars upside down to empty them; do you know the thing I'm referring to? It was up by Lever Brothers, where we filmed a lot of the defective...er...detective drama.
Incidentally, the guy I fight with in that scene is Dave Innes, who now is the manager of the Hammond Civic Center. The gorgeous babe is my wife Celeste.
Check out the explosion that blows me across the room at 1:08; we were always doing crazy crap in these films, just so we could show them to people 30 years later and say "Look at all the crazy crap us morons used to do."
