Talk:Kenny Powers (stuntman)

Confusing Information[edit]

I feel like some comments that should be on the Talk page ended up in the main article (italicized below):

Powers was actually substituted at the last minute for Carter, without Carter's knowledge, because the jump's backers feared Carter had decided the jump would not work. This is not an accurate account of why Powers was substituted for Carter. The backers were concerned about Carter's health.

And...

Powers worked for and with Carter for many years, and also performed stunts for Hollywood, including in the 1970s films Smokey and the Bandit, Vanishing Point, and Hooper. He continued to perform stunts until at least 2005. Kenny did his last stunt in Greenville, Alabama on August 26, 2006. Kenny Powers was never in a Hollywood movie. Ken Carter's and his stunt crew were once approached about doing the stunts for the movie Smokey and the Bandit, but another group were selected.

These should now be addressed (by better incorporating the statements into the article). Kanenas (talk) 19:11, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality[edit]

The "Other Work" section has statements that, though gracious, aren't neutral.

Stuntman Kenny Powers was a phenomenal stuntman. He was a caring, loving, and benevolent person.
