MIke V (and others) in Mall Cop.

Mike V has a supporting role as one of the bad guys in the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and he’s pimping it hard on his web site. He’s go the trailer, a couple previews, three TV appearances and and some production stills on his web site. Mike did more than just stunts, he’s a real character in the movie. One TV commercial for Mall Cop shows a split second of skateboarding. I figured it was not a big part of the movie. But apparently, the “bad guys” are all terrorists who happen to be good at extreme sports… Good thing is a comedy and not xXx. Sounds corny? According to Vallely in an Buzzine interview:

More importantly, Vallely said James and the entire production crew went out of their way to understand the perspective of skateboarders and BMX riders. “The most important thing for us is that everyone wanted to this right,” the skateboarding veteran said. “Usually people don’t get skateboarding. The stunt team and production team learned a lot from me, but I also learned a lot from them in terms of how to work on a Hollywood movie.”

Who esle is in it? Jason Ellis, Rick Thorne, and Mike Escamilla. So, rather than embed the whole slew of videos here, head on over to Mikevallely.com to check it out. Not since Police Academy 4 have we seen such convergence of almost-law enforcement and skateboarding. If you’d rather actually see skateboarding in Police Academy 4, keep clicking. There’s even a Spanish subtitled version of behind the scenes stunt skateboarding narrated by stuntman and old Pepsi team skateboarder Wink Roberts.
