Interview with
Stuntwoman Nora Lee
This month, Movie Maker(MM) interviewed Nora Lee, a professional
stuntwoman. Her latest movie, Kung Fu
Warrior, will be coming up later this year.
MM: How did you get started?
Nora: At first, I took part-time jobs on movie sets to gain experience. I was
very interested in the stunts, so I learned martial arts. And I kept telling
people I wanted to be a stuntwoman. Eventually, I was given a chance.
MM: How do directors choose the stunt people for their movies?
Nora: If the job requires a skill, such as martial arts, there’s
usually an audition. But if the job only involves general stunts like falling
down or jumping out of a car, they just choose someone who looks like the actor
or actress.
MM: Do stunt people often get hurt while filming a movie?
Nora: Yes! And it’s worse for stuntwomen, because we
often have to wear tight shirts or short skirts. It’s
impossible to hide protective pads easily under those kinds of clothes!
MM: Tell me about Kung Fu Warrior.
Nora: The fighting style in
this movie is totally new. We combined various martial arts all around the
world. I truly believe it will be an epic blockbuster. I’m
sure people will love it.
