I’ve been keeping up with Damien’s vids for a while and he keeps getting better and better. Yeah,I know there was another thread about him recently…but this highlight deserves it’s own thread,imo.
Sidenote: He did a helluva job with stunts on Kick Ass…as well as his protege,Greg Townley,who did stunts for Hit Girl.
Haha, Damien was in Ninja Assassin and was also one of the stunt guys for a few of the marvel movies although he kept getting given lesser parts because of more big name stunt people like Scott Adkins (took the Deadpool part over him). He is excellent and was one of the reasons I wanted to go into stunt work.

I was gonna write a long winded response about the trampolines being more evident and… The answer is: BIG TIME. I think the only reason he loses out on stunt work for some of the superhero roles is he looks pretty small. I think Adkins is relatively giant in comparison.

I don’t even think it’s so much that. I think the biggest difference is that Walters comes for more of gymnastics/tumbling background…Adkins has more of a martial arts background that translates better for fight choreography.
And maybe because Adkins is a little bigger and muscular. There was a reason Damien was a stunt double for Kick Ass character…as there was a reason Adkins was stunt double for Deadpool/Weapon X character.
