Darren Shahlavi: I got Legion of the Dead through Matthias Hues introducing me to the producers and Joe Cook who was casting the film. And I loved working with Olaf, he is a real filmmaker throughout and so passionate. He had a bad experience with the producers in post production and the result is a messed-up film which was cut and re-edited badly. Olaf wrote a lead role for me on Beyond the Limits, and we had fun on that film, again no stuntmen so I had a hard time doing the choreography I wanted plus I was injured so the fights aren’t great, but I’m really looking forward to working with Olaf on the next one we do.

Uwe is much different. He is a businessman more than a filmmaker, and my experiences with him were not too great. I was hired on Alone in the Dark and then my scenes were cut down before we shot them, so I’m hardly in the film. On Bloodrayne we’d agreed one rate and he paid me another, he asked me to stay on and help with the fight choreography but the producers would not pay for me. Van Damme wanted me for a movie, he was doing called the Kumite, so I went to Vancouver to train for that one which was cancelled. On In the name of the King I was playing poker with some of the guys at Uwe’s apartment and he gave me the script and said I could be one of the generals. I said I’d do it and two months later he’d hired someone else and he said "call Dan Clarke the producer and we’ll get something for you." So I did that small part as the gatekeeper. I told the stunt coordinator Dean Choe what happened and he said if Uwe won’t use you I will, so I got lots of stunt work and was Ray Liotta’s double for the end fight with Jason too, directed by Tony Ching Siu Tung. I made a lot more money but it pissed me off that Uwe insists that he needs named actors to make the film a success, there were 10 names in that movie which made 3 million in the opening weekend! Uwe has made so many mistakes but he’s learning from them and I know he’s a good guy with the right intentions; he just makes some really bad choices on his films.
