The Benny "The Jet" Urquidez Story
The video story of Benny "The Jet" Urquidez's fight career and his involvement in the birth of kickboxing. From Wikipedia:
"Benny Urquidez (born June 20, 1952) is an American kickboxer, martial arts choreographer and actor. Nicknamed The Jet, Urquidez was a non-contact karate competitor who later pioneered full-contact fighting in the U.S.- He made the transition from point to full-contact karate in 1974 – the year of its inception in the U.S. – frequently fighting in bouts where the rules were ambiguous and contrasts in styles were dramatic. Urquidez is also known for once holding the rare achievement of 6 World Titles in 5 different weight divisions, and Urquidez remained largely undefeated in his 27 year career. His only loss came in a Muay Thai bout.
Between 1974 and 1993, he amassed a documented professional record of 49-1-1 (win-loss-draw) with 35 knockouts and two controversial no-contests, although he is also supposed to have an additional record of 10-0-1 (10 KOs) in undocumented pro fights making a total of 59-1-2-2 (45 KOs)."

Choreographer, and stuntman in Roadhouse, and Grosse Pointe Plank. Many more, but he can be clearly seen in these two flicks...
Lucky is the man who never has to confront what he is truly capable of.
