Robert Radler is the director of the cult classic Best of the Best (1989) starring Eric Roberts, Phillip Rhee and James Earl Jones. Numerous guests have cited this film as a pivotal moment in their martial art and film careers, not the least of which are our two co-hosts! This film, Radler’s debut feature, was also a launching pad for the likes of debut stunt coordinator Simon Rhee and performer James Lew. Rhee went on to receive SAG Award nominations for Heroes in 2008 and Transformers: Dark of the Moon in 2012. He won for Heroes in 2009 and Inception in 2011. Similarly, Lew took home the 2017 Emmy for Outstanding Stunt Coordination of a Drama Series for Luke Cage.Outside of Best of the Best and its 1993 sequel, Radler went on to direct Showdown (1993), several episodes of Jerry Bruckheimer’s Soldier of Fortune, Inc., and countless episodes of television, including Hercules, Silk Stalkings, Police Academy: The Series, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Power Rangers Zeo and LA Heat. A guitar player himself, he has directed music videos for George Thorogood & The Destroyers; Jackson Brown; Crosby, Stills & Nash; Survivor as well as the award-winning Turn It Up (2014), a celebration of the electric guitar. Radler’s passion project since quitting NYU grad school for film (some might say an obsession since first setting foot on the ship in 1975) has been an ongoing documentary series about the SS United States beginning with SS United States: Lady in Waiting (2008), SS United States: Made in America (2013) and the forthcoming Superliner: The Enduring Legacy of the SS United States, to be released in 2026.MENTIONS:Feeding America Drive: https://teamfeed.feedingamerica.org/participants/NYCombatSamboRobert Radler IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0705675/?ref_=ttrv_fcr_1_1Final fight between Simon (Dae Han) and Phillip Rhee (Tommy Lee): https://youtu.be/AYGvR8tWOBY?si=uVU-FZDr-qDPi0BMBest of the Best bar fight: https://youtu.be/RI_1e8XMIeQ?si=M_nITbFC1fDIVBAyBest of James Earl Jones in Best of the Bets: https://youtu.be/NXanR80AtQQ?si=lVxH0RiXjF3OdfgHSS United States: Lady in Waiting (full film): https://youtu.be/9pNdyTKz_8g?si=aSlttblepcuQdH34SS United States: Made in America (full film): https://www.ssusc.org/made-in-americaSS United States documentary to show ship's journey from Philly to sea floor:https://www.phillyvoice.com/ss-united-states-documentary-2026/Turn it Up (full documentary): https://youtu.be/AlE-2TISwBw?si=deGOTGDqa9oHN42KBads to the Bone Music Video: https://youtu.be/IyhJ69mD7xI?si=h_FQ-Wz_BlDnqDLzSouthern Cross Music Video: https://youtu.be/Bw9gLjEGJrw?si=XTo8ddVK3OVv54DEFILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDSDo you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

As a stunt coordinator on student films from nearly every film school in NYC and guest lecturer at the School of Visual Arts Masters in Directing program, our co-host Stephen Koepfer has noticed that up-and-coming filmmakers seem to be more attracted to practical action than ever before. This seems contrary to what one might assume to be the case in today’s film industry. There is a weird paradox in the action filmmaking community. Practical action has never been more popular. It is actively used to promote and market big budget productions. Behind the scenes videos go viral on social media. As a result more people are trying to become stunt performers than ever before. Young filmmakers are craving practical action. Yet simultaneously, existing performers in the industry are petrified of being replaced by digital stunt doubles, generative AI, declining numbers of productions, etc. So, we wanted to dig into the issue of practical vs. AI and the future of action film. To do so we invited a group of emerging filmmakers on the show. Joining us on are Darren Tun and Jeffrey Colangelo of Code 10-10, the NYC stunt team that won the 2025 installment of 87 North’s prestigious Stunt Design Showdown. Also on the show are Bryan Uvaldo and Amanda Whyte. Bryan’s NYU thesis film, Playin’ Around, took best stunt performance at the Art of Movie Making Film Festival as well as honors from other festivals. These accolades are due in very large part to Amanda’s incredible performance in the film. Together we peer into the mind of these emerging filmmakers and answer the question: What is the future of action?

Walker Hare is an actor and filmmaker who has appeared in Taylor Sheridan’s 1923 (2023), Artist Unknown (2024), The Sinner (2020) and most recently HBO Max’s Task and Netflix’s Black Rabbit. In episode 7 of Black Rabbit, Walker performs in a brutal fight scene, which is the starting point of our interview. We break down that scene from script to screen, how his Black Rabbit role related to his Artist Unknown role, his overall experience on the show, and his acting career. Our co-host Paul is also a career chef with an extensive history working in the NYC restaurant scene. We go into some of the parallels between Black Rabbit’s story arc and actual tragic events in the NYC restaurant world. Walker is also the producer and co-star of 2ND-C, an upcoming science fiction action film born out of the pandemic.  MENTIONS:  Film Fights With Friends/Breakfall Studios Holiday Work Out, Mixer and Movie Night: https://www.patreon.com/posts/winter-open-and-138453493  Walker Hare IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3017401/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk  Black Rabbit Trailer: https://youtu.be/ueNsPJgWNAg?si=bfDfx3HE66BHhOCa  Task Trailer: https://youtu.be/irkyXKTmY8M?si=ZVB6Qg585VqgD2gQ  Artist Unknown on IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt24329424/reference/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Touring the Black Rabbit set with Architectural Digest: https://youtu.be/JplgCQ1gTLs?si=PQ3hvID8WCDeQExm   FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDS Do you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

 “How do I get into stunts?” The eternal question anyone working in the stunt business will be faced with repeatedly. The question often leaves us in a predicament. After all, we don’t want to crush anyone’s dreams. Everyone should be able to try making a living how they want. Having said that, there is no one path, quick fix or cheat code for getting into this business. What is very clear, however, is what NOT to do if you want to become a stunt performer. The simple fact is that people who ask advice often don’t want the unvarnished truth and disregard advice given. They want fast tracks. We working performers generally end up assessing how truthful we want to be when asked this question, if we want to answer it at all. We want to encourage but also be real. In this episode we are joined by stunt performer Anthony Hoang to offer up some hard truths and discussion about getting into the industry. Not meant to discourage, but to present a realistic picture of just how tough this business is – and what NOT to do if you are trying to break in.  MENTIONS: Film Fights With Friends/Breakfall Studios Holiday Work Out, Mixer and Movie Night: https://www.patreon.com/posts/winter-open-and-138453493  Anthony Hoang IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4561199/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk  FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDS Do you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

Creating a television show is no easy task. The vast majority of television pilots, even the great ones, do not result in a series being produced. It is a labor of love and dedication to the craft of storytelling.  Jamie Kilstein is an actor, comedian, podcaster, jiu-jitsu black belt, creator, and star of Blue Belts, his first scripted television project. In this interview, we dig into Blue Belts, what it took to get the pilot made, where it is going, its autobiographical influences, and the people that went to the mat to bring it to fruition. With heavy doses of straight talk about life, the entertainment business and old school martial arts, our conversation shows how every life lived holds an important story to be told.  Known for his standup on Conan, Showtime, and the BBC, Jamie began his career performing in coffee houses before making his mark at major festivals worldwide. In his early career he was mentored by Robin Williams, who said of him, “Jamie is amazing- he has a spark that energizes my conscience.” In recent years, Jamie pivoted from the world of stand-up into acting and immediately dove into performances on film and stage, immediately booking his first three auditions. With a deep passion for jiu-jitsu and unmatched humor, Jamie uses his experiences to connect with people, sharing both his mistakes and his growth in the process.  MENTIONS: Jamie Kilstein’s Intagram: http://instagram.com/thejamiekilstein  James Armstrong’s Instagram: http://instagram.com/jamesarmstrongstunts  Marissa Falsone’s Instagram: http://instagram.com/marissa.falsone  Blue Belt’s website: www.bluebeltstv.com  Blue Belt’s IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt36953287/reference/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk   Film Fights with Friends Winter Mixer, Open Training and Movie Night: https://www.patreon.com/posts/winter-open-and-138453493   FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDS Do you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

Hank Bedford is the co-writer and director of Eugene the Marine, a genre-bending horror giallo film starring Scott Glenn, Jim Gaffigan, Shioli Kutsuna and Annette O’Toole. The film premiered at the 2025 Oldenburg International Film Festival to standing ovations and high praise for Scott Glenn’s performance, a performance Glenn has called the best of his career.

Clay found his way into unit photography when Zack Snyder gave him a chance to shoot Watchmen. That lucky break has led to nearly 20 years of work, including Sucker Punch (2011), Man of Steel (2013), 300: Rise of an Empire (2014), Suicide Squad (2016), Justice League (2017), A Star is Born (2018), I am the Night (2019), and Rebel Moon Parts One and Two (2023/24). His enthusiasm has never waned. While his credits include big-budget superhero films, he treats every project as a unique opportunity to hone his skills, make friends, and deliver strong images. Of course on Film Fights with Friends, fight scenes are the main course! With that in mind, we start with Clay’s experience shooting the warehouse fight from Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016).  MENTIONS: Clay’s IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2778230/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Clay’s website: http://clayenos.com  Batman vs Superman Warehouse Fight: https://youtu.be/m7GWGLkPepU?si=lvK6ol3wHZBkas_k  Army of the Dead / American Werewolf in London scene comparison: https://youtu.be/7n6HYMx53zE?si=lt58E6KKJuE9AlJA Jaws / Brotherhood of the Wolf scene comparison: https://youtu.be/o_-fbIKSSF8?si=85VRft_iYndDcFOE   FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDSDo you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

Joining Film Fights with Friends is Dr. Paul Heinzelmann, a physician, former clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School and Producer/Director of Safe Sets: Dying to Work in the Film Industry - a feature length exploration of systemic issues impacting the health and wellbeing of film workers. This critically important documentary weaves together candid interviews with technicians, union representatives, public health experts, and notable performers (Jon Hamm and John Malkovich) with the story of Dr. Paul's effort to conduct research into health and safety in the film industry. The cumulative impacts of sleep deprivation, toxic exposure, stress, long hours, accidents and other issues explored in Safe Sets are not only detrimental and unhealthy, but potentially deadly for film workers. Stunts-gone-wrong and other accidents happen all the time on film sets. Not just the ones that make the news – workers die with such regularity that the life expectancy of film workers is estimated by some to be many years shorter than the national average. Film workers frequently succumb to untreated injuries, illnesses, substance use dependencies and mental health issues because they lack the time and resources to schedule medical appointments or to simply rest and heal.

Tim Gallin began his quest to perform in feature films and TV after attending CW Post College on Long Island, NY. His first professional job came by way of the Gong Show in August of 1978. He was a contestant on an Elvis Presley special because Chuck Barris was a fan of The King. After seeing his old high school football coach, Vic Magnotta performing in Taxi Driver, Tim picked up the phone and gave him a call. Magnotta was a stuntman, retired special forces soldier, and Vietnam veteran who became close friends with Martin Scorsese while attending NYU. That fateful phone call created for Tim an opportunity to play football in the film The Wanderers. Through Magnotta’s continued offers to perform stunts, Tim met many of the people he would collaborate with over the next 45+ years. When asked about a favorite fight scene he performed in, the Marked for Death fight from the classic film F/X (1986) was Tim’s immediate response – and is the starting point of this interview that covers some of Tim’s epic experiences in the industry including stunt doubling Tom hanks on Splash and Steve Martin on Only Murders in the Building.

In this bonus episode, we look at set safety and whether the historically ‘cowboy’ culture of film sets truly permits a culture of safety. All through our first season, guests from various television and film departments repeatedly raised concerns about set safety. We dove into issues ranging from stunts, rigging, child performers, general safety, and firearms. One common thread that appeared again and again was the fact that one must always be willing to voice concerns over safety and in so doing, potentially lose a job. This compilation from season one presents some important conversations on the topic.

Larry Rosenthal is a SAG/AFTRA award winner and four-time nominated stunt coordinator/performer. He won for Best Stunt Ensemble on the television show 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland. He has been stunt performing for over 25 years and coordinating for 15. Among his coordinating credits are Austin & Ally (Disney), Pretty Freaking Scary (Disney), and Warped (Nickelodeon). Stunt coordinating young performers can be a challenging undertaking, which Larry breaks down in great detail in this interview. Extensive fight scenes are rare in children’s television; however, one particular fight scene in Cousins for Life (Nickelodeon) provides the starting point of this interview. A Governor of the Television Academy’s Stunt Peer Group, he has been a member of the group since its inception and has served on its executive committee on and off for the past 10 years. When not stunting, Larry runs and plays in the stunt softball league and enjoys hiking, biking, the beach, and working on old cars.Larry’s IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0742787/ Larry’s Television Academy Bio: https://www.emmys.com/bios/larry-rosenthal MENTIONSAustin & Ally 2013 Emmy Submission Reel: https://youtu.be/P_339FBm2W4?si=CSWBQrMRyF3J2ltwAustin & Ally 2015 Emmy Submission Reel: https://youtu.be/q9SdyoQscCE Cousins for Life 2019 Emmy Submission Reel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7U5tG1V6iuc&t=74s Warped HL reel: https://youtu.be/g1sRK8nMxE0?si=pnvBkQGWPXJqm5B4FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDSDo you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

Critics universally panned Wayne Kramer’s box office flop Running Scared (2006). Top critics on Rotton Tomatoes rate the film at bleak 27% while fans give the film a superior 79% rating. On IMDB, it is Kramer’s highest-rated film, with a respectable 7.3 stars. With standout performances by Paul Walker (The Fast and the Furious), Vera Farmiga (Up In the Air, The Departed), then unknown Cameron Bright (the Twilight Saga), and Chazz Palminteri (A Bronx Tale), Kramer’s gritty screenplay is brought to life in a twisted tale that references Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Brian De Palma, and John Wayne. Paul and Steve revisit the film’s graphic shootouts, car chases, and fight scenes, weighing in on the big question: Who got it right? The critics or the fans?MENTIONSOpening scene shootout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7UdT1BtPRYKidnap scene: https://youtu.be/ZnaF4zql9ds?si=WFfZ6e1XrJb7WjFaHocky rink stand off Part 1: https://youtu.be/IJV7dz2ZEYw?si=gW7t9_jiBkCy5VrjHocky rink stand off Part 2: https://youtu.be/wTwhgAzr5eA?si=1a6EY6s8edK5a2SV Joey and Oleg face the Pimp: https://youtu.be/PYWqo1-thgc?si=CrItUmO3SLrvWmpuTAMMFF Film Freeway: https://filmfreeway.com/TAMMFF FILM FIGHTS WITH FRIENDSDo you listen to our show as an audio podcast?

Steve and Paul sit down with Cinder Chou (Writer/Director) and Kerry Lacy (actor) about their feature film Artist Unknown.Cinder Chou is a Taiwanese American writer, director, and producer originally from the oft-maligned state of New Jersey and currently resides in Brooklyn. An early love for comic books turned into a passion for visual storytelling. Her work explores themes of otherness through a comedic and surreal style. Cinder’s early career as a production coordinator (The Big Sick, Jack Ryan, Red Oaks) gave her the professional know-how to launch her own films. Her work has screened at many festivals in the U.S. Artist Unknown is her debut feature film and has won numerous awards, including the Jury Award at the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival, Best Feature at the Broad Humor Film Festival, and Best Narrative Feature at the Artists Forum Festival of the Moving Image. Kerry Lacy was raised in Malibu, California, by two professional actors and fell in love with acting at a young age. Her childhood was spent in theaters and television studios, and dinner table conversations included lessons on comedic timing and notes on dialects and accents. Kerry studied Tang Soo Do for twelve years, earning her third-degree black belt and working as an instructor before moving to New York City, where she studied acting at NYU's Tisch. She is a graduate of The New School, where she studied film, fine arts, and Spanish. In addition to acting, she is also an artist and DJ based in New York City.
