On The Set: “Painkiller Jane”

I’ve written a post on a previous experience on Painkiller Jane as an accident victim. This time I was the limo driver/security for a Chinese diplomat who is the target of an assassination. I’m not gonna give away the whole plot, but in our scene, there is a sequence of events that lead up to our diplomatic convoy arriving at a busy intersection. There are explosions and fire and all that good stuff.

It was a hot and muggy day shooting out in Maple Ridge, so it was nice to be able to crank up the air conditioning while in the limo. Those limos are easy to drive once you get the hang of it but they have horrible pick-up and turning ratios . . . an absolute terror to parallel park too ;)

Star Entertainment Channel was on-site to interview the cast members. The back window had been broken in from a previous break-in where some of their equipment was stolen. I remember seeing it on the news and thinking how it was so sad and ironic that they came to this city to do a story on how great it was here in Vancouver. Not a very good impression when some meth/crack head decides to break into their car and steal all their gear.

I agree, I was going to see if you wanted to apply to be my kung fu/bodyguard/driver, but it seems you last detail didn’t go to well.

Hey man, I was just the driver. The cops and the security in the back didn’t do much to help. My Kung Fu is only so strong ;)
