Wow killers, way to be a Jerkie McJerkface. Even if he is lying, he's only hurting himself.

Wow. Someone is getting a wee bit too angry over this, I think.

When I was 9 years old I was also an extra in this movie with two of my friends. In the top battle scenes I can see myself about 4 different times when they go around the circle. I still remember those days of filming in Cleveland.
I was surprised a couple years ago when it was actually on DVD at blockbuster.

Most people have never even heard of the movie, but that's because they decided to pull it from theaters at the last moment since it wasn't that good.

I love this movie!! It's not an Oscar winner by any means, but it definitely is good if your watching it with the right perspective. Most people don't realize that. Can't call a movie bad if you had the wrong expectations in the first place.

I was lucky enough to actually be the body double for Mr. Roy Brocksmith. The whole story is kinda weird; I took my step daughters to the casting agency in downtown Cleveland to see if the could get in the movie (scene @ Wilbur Wight I believe). While they were doing what they needed to do, someone came out of the office looked at me and asked if I wanted to be in the movie. They had me interview and were asking me if I knew how movies were made, etc. I did having read several behind the scenes books, one of which was "The Making Of Star Trek". So when they said that I was to be a body double, I knew exactly what they were talking about.

My big scene was at 'The House' on W 11th with Mary Steenburgen. Just had to walk down the steps and along the sidewalk.
