Mad Max: Fury Road Action Unit Director/Stunt Coordinator Guy Norris.
Fury Road's action unit director and stunt coordinator Guy Norris is riding high.
His team, tallying over 150 performers, took out the SAG Stunt Awards in Los Angeles yesterday, a result which should have suprised precisely no-one.
Norris is currently in Wellington, prepping Paramount/Dreamworks' Ghost in the Shell, which begins filming in less than two weeks.
Norris was told of his win by his son, who saw it on social media. The award is a nice capper to a career that began with Mad Max 2 in 1981.
Norris was 21 at the time, and already a stunt veteran.
"I started doing stunt work in Evel Knievel-like live shows when I was 18", he said.
"I did that with an older stuntman called Frank Lennon. He was one of the last stuntmen going around doing thrill shows. You'd crash cars, you'd run around on fire,...

The stunts of Mad Max 2. From a making-of documentary on George Miller's Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior (1981); featuring stunt coordinator Max Aspin and stunt man Guy Norris. (This short doc used to be available on the 1997 special edition VHS, but is currently unavailable on home media format.)
This does nothing to assure me that no animals were harmed in the filming of George Miller's Babe: Pig in the City. Maybe it's a good thing for the sake of his actors (human or animal) that Miller has taken them out of physical harm's way of late by opting for the CGI safety of the Happy Feet franchise (the second iteration of which is being released this weekend), but as far as I could glean from the first Happy Feet, it's not a good thing for the viewer.
At the peak of his imaginative abilities, frequently on display in Mad Max 2,...
