Der harte Job des Mel Gibson

This little video feature was a neat sales stunt. It's a "video diary" by Gibson (actually some PR people) combining videotaped stunt footage with Gibson "fooling around" during the filming of the movie. More than anything, it emphasizes Gibson's ability to play a wiseguy - which he does better here than in the theatrical film he was making. Things like having a stunt double spliced in to do a "breakdancing" Danny Glover work - the endless attempts to make car crash stunts sound "funny" aren't. Let's be honest, it's a half-hour commercial for the movie.
