How to tell who is not a real martial artist( people on tv)

[Zorba]

if you watch the dvd with directors commentary on, john woo does say that he does his own stunts. he even came up with a few that john woo thought were to dangerous, but insisted on doing it anyway. the knife to the eyball for example.

ill give Tom Cruise some credit he does some of his stunts, but he most definitely doesnt do all, I know one of his stunt doubles personally

[battousai16]

well, from what i read, tom cruise wanted M:I 2 to be his "big action movie" (i may be forgetting one, but did you ever notice that that movie is the first time he ever fires a gun?), and that's why he insisted on doing most of the stunts for it. just what i read, though, and i have kind of a bias for tom cruise, cuz i like him

[Samurai Shotokan]

well i think aefibird was in the right zone of what i meant but how do you know where the stunt doubles were used and the person who does the fighting stand in I know about only a couple of fields

Yeah Blob0n is absolutely right actors do tons of stuntts tese days. and yes tom cruise does many more stunts than he doesnt do. even keanu reeves did nearly all the fighting. the only types of scenes he didntt really do too much of were like crashing and stuff like that but the martial arts he did almost all of himself. all the matrix actors did. but there are some things that they just dont let the actors do like some stunt driving for example.

[Samurai Shotokan]

What did you mean by nearly all the fighting? How does Keanu Nearly Do all the fighting?

ive actually seen footage of him doing his training. when u see him in the action fighting whoever, seldom does he use a double its like at least 90% him. the brothers who directed this movie wanted these actors to be abel to do their own martial and a lot of their own stunts.
