Scenes from Actionfest Stunt Show

Yesterday’s Actionfest Stunt Show at Carolina Cinemas featured top Hollywood stuntmen demonstrating fighting techniques, skydiving and a rocket-powered flight.

 

An additional stunt show featuring similar demonstrations has been added to the Actionfest schedule and will be held in the parking lot of Carolina Cinemas today at 4 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Actionfest concludes this evening with an awards ceremony at the Orange Peel. Chuck Norris will be on hand to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award. “Chuckeoke” is also scheduled, as well as a set by Asheville rock band, Reigning Sound.

Xpress’ interview with Chuck Norris is online here.

Thanks for reading through to the end…

We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we’ve never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.

We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
