Shucks... I just saw the new issue, zoomed home
to tell everyone in the club...and here I find
messages that beat me to it! I hoped I would be the first!
<br>It's a great article with alot of photo's of Jeff. I
hope they update that web site soon.
and is humbled.<br>this is the place i
mentioned...<br>but it is new,and you wont get much out of it but the
show's premise.<br><a href=http://www.theseekers.com
target=new>http://www.theseekers.com</a><br><br>how
can i make up for such a blunder?<br>I
know!<br>Picture time!
the current issue.Guess who is on the cover.Guess
who has an article about him?Guess whats on the
newsstands right this moment?<br><br>Anyway...there is is
some intresting stuff regarding Speakman's projects.
The Consultants<br>has been axed(!)after the pilot
and only a few eps filmed,due to the producers of the
series going bankrupt (so says an article sidebar) which
is only partially Ok cause we were spared Dennis
Rodman,I suppose. Which paved the way for Jeff to do
something else.Another TV series.With a twist:<br>its part
internet (?) name of the show is "The Seekers".For more
info on this go to its
website.<br><a href=http://www.seekers.com
target=new>http://www.seekers.com</a><br><br>As for "Consultants" I kind of hope
someone releases
the pilot/some re-edited eps into some kind of film
so they can put it on video.
I'm still working on my hp's which feature (in no
particular order) fave actresses,action star actors (that's
where the JS page comes in; I also got one forming on
Ray Park as well-who is a rising star in various
sci-fi films (like Star Wars:Episode 1,yeah, you know
who I mean...) and music,directors, and yers truly.
It's agenral deal, no shrines or anything (although
the one to Carrie Anne-Moss could be).<br> As for JS
pix, so far what I have up now is pretty much what you
see in the photo section -but I'll probaly get a scan
off "The Expert"video box (the one with the Orion tag
on it, not the surpringly current MGM reissuehis
film photos are not easy to come by; I'm still in
shock I even stumbled onto that still from "Perfect
Weapon" (the one with James Lew). Stay tuned...
Was hoping to get eeryones input re: our chat
session, what times and dates are good for them. <br>As
for this page your talking about (W/ Jeff) do you
have an address for it, I'd like to go check it out...
But I haven't posted recently .Workin on the HP,
(and yes, there is a page on Jeff Speakman...) but it
is still primarily being worked on. Other pages of
mine are complete or near it. Most of them are genral
info/pic pages. Also I am part of many clubs, but I try to
give equal time when I can.<br><br>A chat,eh? Sounds
good. When& what time...now thats the
trick...<br>-Darren
Hey, just wondering what is going on with
everyone, wanted to wish you a "relaxing" Labor day.. (I
know what a double negative....) we'll talk soon. I'm
triing to arrange a group caht, so we can all talk at
the same time, let me know if you have any
suggestions as to when.<br>Angelique-Celeste
I'm just grateful you created the club-! <br>I
like most action films-especially ones with Jeff
Speakman. <br>Some of his not-so good stuff-rerember I
mentioned that "Timelock"film with<br>him and Jeff Meek
(Raven,TV's Mortal Kombat)? I had forgotten that<br>sometimes
these films Jeff does lacks a decent budget.I should
have been<br>a little more fair.<br> When Speakman has
a film out that has a decent budget we get all good
stuff.<br>"The Perfect Weapon*" "Street Knight" and "The Expert"
come easily to mind.<br>He got some more exposure on
"Walker,Texas Ranger" and will be more seen thanks to the
upcoming syndicated series "The Consultants".<br><br>*a
word about "Weapon"-last Ocober of 1999, I was
watching UPN. They aired "Perfect Weapon".Now,thing is,I
have the film on a prerecorded tape. But something
here got my attention-there was some "lost
footage"(!)<br>of this film. (didn't get a chance to see the whole
thing in this airing-I had somewhere to go)<br>But
during the backstory/flashback the young Sanders boys
were hanging out in the arcade...and there was a few
other scenes with Beau Star and Mako...was I in a daze
or does that film footage actually exist?I know I
saw it. Anytime Paramount decides to release a DVD of
this film it would be great!
I'm glad that we have found someone who enjoys
our club so much.. I am thriilled at any help and
additions you may have. I am always open to suggestions
also. Although I have been on vacationa dn am still
(till the end of the month), I will try to update a
little more often once I am back and rested...<br>again
thanks for your support...<br>Angelique-Celeste
I met Jeff Speakman last friday and I had a Kenpo
clinic with him last weekend. It was amazing. He is a
great man and an excelent master. When I scan the
pictures I´ll put them on the photo section.<br>He even
gave us a kick after the exam to all the guys in the
dojo.
And the thrills and spills keep on coming-!<br>I
will say, finding pic stills is not as easy as you
might think.<br>But there are some I think that are
*finds*.<br>(well,of course,you'd agree)<br>But I'm sure that will
change shortly-with that new sydnicated action drama TV
series coming out, "The Consultants", which also stars
Dennis Rodman (yeah...that Dennis Rodman-!)<br>and Rita
"Sable" Moreno.<br>if there is a website for the
show,I'll post it in the links.<br>The new link is to OZ
Kenpo.They have a handful of Jeff Speakman pix who is doing
a demonstration regarding disarming an attackeer
with a knife...
I just put up the third pic yesterday. And a
link. <br>While the founder and the other members here
kick back (or forward)<br>I'll help out-get a few more
pics up, a few more links in the next few days.<br>One
pic I'm putting up today is the "Deadly Outbreak"
cover art.<br>Also putting up another treat or two.
Enjoy!
I want to give a pat on the back to the founder
of this club.As a film buff, I have a high place for
well done action films and action stars in genral.
Jeff Speakman is my favorite, but I must say, the
"Street Knight" actor is in my opinion,underused in
Hollywood. He is suddenly going downhill with some slew of
DTV pix like ""Memorial Day"-which used a lot of
reused footage from "Scorpio One"!<br> Another slight
snafu was "Timelock". A rivalry between two villians
(*although I will give credit this the only time Speakman
has played one) Speakman's character and the
character played by Jeff Meek.<br>The problem? Wasn't Meek
in that "Raven" series in the early 90's? Yeah, I
rerembered it.<br>Shoudla been at least one hand-to-hand
deal in there!<br> Despite these films, Speakman has
been surprisingly good in most his films.<br>"The
Expert" "Deadly Outbreak" (*i know i know its the
upteenth "DieHard" ripoff but every action star has at
LEAST ONE!)<br>I will be a nice guy and throw up 2 pics
if you don't have them there already.
I just wanted to tell you not worry. I'm sure
you'll be alright.. Just rememeber, he's a normal guy
just like the rest of us... but we OF COURSE WE WANT A
FULL REPORT.. just do your
best......<br>Angelique-Celeste
Jeff is comming to Aguascalientes in central
Mexico. Tomorrow nigth he will be staying until saturday.
He will give a clinic on Kenpo and also he will be
supervising a grade test and belt test.<br>I am a little bit
nervous about that because I am taking a test next
friday.
I thought I would start things off, so here it
goes.<br>I was first inspired by Mr Speakman when I
watched<br>the film "The Expert", I was moved by the storyline
as well as his performance.I have an older brother,
of whom I had been having problems with up till
then, and the reactions he had some affect on our
relationship.<br>I started this club, because when I went to
re-search Mr Speakman, I could find no information about
him. I was hoping this would be a good way for people
who have information about him, to discuss his career
and influence, and make sure that anyone else
interested has a resource to come to. <br>As for the
comments and suggestions, those I will leave up to you,
this club is about sharing information, dreams goals
and aspirations,it's members that will help it to
grow and I pray we continue to grow. Although I must
admit, we are up to three members now, and that feels
good, but I would like to see more.Anyway enough about
me, please post soon, and feel free to send me any
information you would like, I also plan on building another
web page to dedicate to Mr Speakman, and am gathering
all the informtaion I can muster (If you send
information for the web page, please include your e-mail
address and first name, so you can be recognized for your
contribution).<br>Angelique-Celeste
It was recommened by a visitor to our site that
we all post a brief message about ourselves and what
brought us to this page..<br>so please post the following
information:<br>1] what influence Mr Speakman has had on you, <br>2]
what lead you to this club, <br>3]
comments/suggestions for our club.<br>I look forward to reading your
responses.
Welcome, thank you for coming and looking around,
also for joining, I hope you enjoy it here..I realize
it is new and there is not much happening yet, but I
hope to change that shortly...<br><br>How long have
you been studying Kenpo? I have often considered
learning the art my self however, I'm not sure I'm up to
it yet....Time takes time...
