I got stabed on film once, what i did was first I took the shirt, and cut a slit in it which I resowed up. Then I took one of those platic sheilds that you get at halloween, and upt that on my chest. The I took a ziplock bag, and filled it with my blood mix, and taped it to the sheild so it would line, up with the hole in my shirt. Then I had my friend stab, me, the sheild held, I went down, their was blood everywhere because the knife punctured the baggie.

You mean, with a real knife?

Retractable knife and blood pack. Stab with a real knife only if yo uare sure of your skill and trust.

In my productions all knives yousee are real and we have staged fights with them.

Well, here's what I do. Take a small piece of sheet metal, and glue, tape, whatever on a piece of styrofoam. Now attach this under the clothing of the actor, and put a blood packet on top of the styrofoam. When you stab, blood will come out, and the knife will stick "in" the actor.

Yes, with a real knife. Be careful, and dull the blade...

Well use real weapons, and the knife I got hit with was real sharp, but I had impliset trust in the guy stabing me. You must have trust in all sword/knife fighting.

There can be no doubt in combat

Grant is right, if there is doubt then people get hurt or killed. Don't do any stunt/fight with sharp weapons unless both people are 1000% sure in the others ablity.

It's like the idiot rules at the Go-Kart trak "Do NOT ride unless you are sure of your abilities, and are sure you will not surpass them"

Thoes retractable knives are class. I can never find them these days, joke shops seem to have given up on them. Where do you get them?

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Fri Aug 01, 2003 4:20 am

In any form of stunt work there can be no doubt or hesitations.

Don't change the subjet please, We want to know where to get retraco-knives

-EDIT-

Grant is right, but, I believe we have made that point clear on numerous ocasions and at least once on theis thread

Well If you can't find them at party stores, you could probably make one yourself, all you need is a hilt, that is hollowd, your blade, which can be a piece of wood or cardbord, painted silver or covred in tinfoil, an a spring, to pop the bald back up. A little asembly then boom retracto knife. Haven't tryed this but i think it will work.

Fill the hollow handle with blood and let it slowly pour out whilst holding it against the victim.
