Police Academy Stunt Show

Today I went to Ancol, Jakarta's largest recreation park, located in the North of Jakarta to see the Police Academy Stunt Show, featuring 18 stuntmen and women from Italy. According to the event's coordinator, some of the group's members were involved in the stunts of the latest James Bond movie. The show was quite entertaining as I saw a man jumping off a building, cars drifting and motorcycles flying. Although the sound effects, the set, and the fireworks were not as spectacular as you would expect to have at similar shows in the US or Australia. Here's the most disappointing things:
1. Besides that it's ugly, the sound effects do not match the stunts' actions
2. Fake helicopter :(
3. All the explosions were replaced by tiny, unattractive fireworks.

All in all it was an entertaining 45 minutes of show, and the stuntmen and women are highly experienced - the car stunts were amazing!

One thing that got me amazed, though, is how dedicated these people are to doing their jobs, doing the same stunts every day for nearly 3 months (3-4 times a day!) as the show has been going on since the 18th of May, and will be over on the 20th of August. I had a little chat with the event's coordinator, who explained to me how these people have shown their dedication and discipline throughout the 3 months period. They even have curfew! :)
