A fight that feels like the real thing.
A fall from a moving car that makes you wonder is the guy is alright.
And some moves you definitely dont want to try at home.
"What we do its an art. Its not just something we throw together, its an art," said instructor Warren Stevens.
The art of the Hollywood stuntman now part of a training program in Weatherford, Texas
Started by a production company that wanted to shoot a movie in Texas, but found theyre just werent enough stuntmen in the state.
So theyre building home grown stunt men and women.
"You learn stuff you didn’t even think you’d learn. I learned to ride a horse it was awesome," said student Gemini Barnett.
Creating a list of people ready to work in locally shot films.
"I’m pretty sure Texas can build up support for a film industry here. I dont see why not," stunt instructor Bobby Wood.
Jobs that pay well and look a lot more exciting than your typical 9 to 5.
