...some of their own stunt work. A few old icons did. Steve McQueen, a true car nut, often took the wheel in Bullitt and Le Mans. But most actors have taken more lessons at the Pasadena Playhouse than at the Richard Petty Driving Experience. On the Hollywood Homicide shoot, Hartnett fouled up a chase by crashing into a fake police car. Mos Def, a Brooklyn native who co-stars in The Italian Job, didn't even have a driver's license. Mark Wahlberg, the film's lead, threw up five minutes into driving class. The only racing demon...
...roommate Paul, who has a similar wiener-like shape, but taller and with a nose, lips and pronounced nipples, cocks his eyebrow in bafflement. The dance seems connected to the little Ib-Ubs, tiny four-legged creatures who begin erecting small towers on the floor using the bricks that shoot out of their snout.

"I thought they were going to take me to the jungle and shoot me," he says. Instead, they knocked him unconscious and abandoned him. An army border patrol found him a week later, filthy and incoherent...
...China's big Cannes hope, Lou Ye's Purple Butterfly, is an epic set during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai. It's got lots of action (including a splendidly complex shoot-out in a train station), a starry performance by Zhang Ziyi and enough period atmosphere to clog your lungs. But Lou seemed to be in a debate with himself about what kind of film he wanted to make. He ultimately chose avant-garde abstraction over the melodramatic vigor this large subject demanded...
