I found some movies with the car stunt directors listed at the hkmdb as ass. directors:

So Close:
Roger Lee

Seventh Curse:
Joe Chu
Yuen Jun-Man

What a Hero:
Joe Chu

I add car stunt directors always as action directors or ass. action directors.

Objections if I change them to action directors?

This topic is very old.

I wanted to add several "car stunts" and "motorbike stunts" as "ACTION DIRECTORS" in our DB almost 2 years ago, but Mr. Pongpun said me this was forbidden. :cry:

So I have added HUNDREDS of car and moto stunts as "assistant directors".

Several months ago I suggested to add this job to our DB, because I think it is a very important job in HK film industry (at least, more important than "line producer" :wink: ) but our boss did not say nothing.

Last week I suggested it again in the Editors Forum and now I am waiting if the rest of editors want to second my motion. :wink:

I just haven't had time to reply, specifically. As always, if you want a crew title, and it is for a good reason, then we will add it.

If you have the Big5, I will add it right away...

Car Stunts: 飛車特技 or 汽車特技.
But in the new millennium I have seen more the first one, 飛車特技

Motorbike or Motorcycle stunts: 電單車特技 (almost all are by Blacky and his team)
