So the question is for the WTFers out there, what techniques & steps have you found that work well for scoring? For the ITFers out there, what techniques & steps have you found work well for scoring? For the TSD/SBDers out there... You get the idea. Comments?

Basically GM Han says that they had to use "locals" for the park fight scene, who knew nothing about MA, stunts, or acting. He doesn't go into too much detail, but says that there were two law suits. One from the fellow who received the spinning heel kick to the upper arm, and the second from the person who got the front 'stomp' kick to the face. Apparently they didn't "react" correctly, and got hit a little too hard, which resulted in some 'bruising'. Nothing was said on the outcome on the suits, and it was noted that GM Han did not personally get sued, but rather the "film company" which I believe may have been owned by Tom Laughlin(?).
