I love action films because I have grown up seeing some of the brilliant movies of the genre like 'Ghatak,' 'Ghayal,' 'Shiva.' Watching people doing such stunts had always mesmerised me and fascinated me to think that I should also do such things if I become a hero.
Audiences will get just as tired of people wrestling on a bed as they did of Tom Mix kissing his horse.
I have done some 104 films across languages, most of which had action.
I get tired of singing to the guys I beat up in motion pictures.
I've always been really into action movies. Since I was little, that was my favorite type of film.
I grew up watching James Bond and Star Wars and I just love that kind of action. I love trying to see if *I* can actually do it.
We did many of our own stunts. We had our hands full. In fact, the roles were physically demanding.
The action pictures I've been typically involved with, when somebody gets punched, you really feel the punching, and when somebody gets shot, you really feel the shot.
I'm a fan of action movies.
The first thing I did when I was forty years old, I put handcuffs on and I jumped off Alcatraz prison and swam to San Francisco handcuffed. That made national publicity. Then, there were three or four years where I would do more difficult feats. Another birthday I towed a thousand pound boat across the Golden Gate. On my 65th Birthday I towed 65 boats a mile and a half in Tokyo. On my 70th Birthday I towed 70 boats with 70 people in it with my feet and hands tied a mile and a half in Long Beach.... My next Birthday I will be 93. I'm gonna tow my wife across the bathtub.
