Alga нашла про прыжки во "Всадниках":

When Michael was in Riders, he had a serious fall resulting in a head injury, as you doubtless know. His stand in was a woman with painted on eyebrows and sideburns.
И перевод из нашего форума отсюда:
Когда Майкл снимался в "Наездниках", он упал с коня и получил серьезную черепно-мозговую травму, как вы, без сомнения, знаете. А дублировала его женщина с наклеенными бровями и баками.

А какие там были прыжки?
Про агентов - спасибо за ответ, прочитала

Сравнила куртки Майкла в "Нежном прикосновении" и на тренировке "Робина из Шервуда" и пришла к выводу, что это все-таки одна, и что в "Нежном прикосновении" он снимался в своей куртке.

Alga спасибо за ответ Поняла, что ты имела в виду. Очень красивая сцена

Первый вижу впервые. Скорее всего, тоже фейк (подделка).

The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne – Rockets of the Dead – review (TV Episode)
Director: Pierre de Lespinois
First aired: 2000
Contains spoilers
This was a short lived series that followed the adventures of novelist Jules Verne (Chris Demetral) as he travelled with Phileas Fogg (Michael Praed, who was in poor vampire movie Son of Darkness: To Die For 2), Fogg’s second cousin Rebecca (Francesca Hunt) and Fogg’s valet Passepartout (Michel Courtemanche).
Of course it had a steampunk thing going on – Verne being the spiritual Godfather of steampunk – and had to have, of course, a vampire episode – this being it.
It started with a man, Lord Pontetract (David Schaap), being attacked by a cloaked and fanged assailant. He kills Pontetract and steals a briefcase – ignoring the bullets fired by a guard. He clicks his heels together – touching two electrodes – and a rocket backpack fires up and flies him into the night.
The British secret service has ensured that Verne’s play of the Maid of Orleans will be put on in the Rimini Theatre and star Rebecca in the titular role. The reason? The Rimini Theatre is one of many (one in each major capitol city in Europe) by patron of the arts Duke Angelo Rimini (Patrick Duffy, yes, the Man From Atlantis himself). As well as being a patron of the arts, they know that he is from Carpathia – though the name they gave him sounded Italian to me – and he is an arms dealer. He often gets besotted by leading ladies and they hope to use Rebecca to get an idea of what he is up to.
He does indeed become besotted with Rebecca and, as he brings her lilies after the performance, she and we notice he casts no reflection. He takes her to supper but gives Phileas (who is none to happy with the secret service) the slip and buggers off to Estonia (as the nearest port to Carpathia) with her. It is clear that he knows she is an agent but also that he wants her to trade allegiances and rule the world at his side.
Phileas and Jules have to travel to Carpathia, but that is no problem when you have the Aurora – essentially Fogg’s balloon steampunked up. Now, I know that Verne wrote 80 days but I don’t remember it being a powered craft in that… never mind… On the journey Passepartout tells them about vampires – a concept dismissed by Fogg – and all the lore his family passed down to him. They avoid sunlight, drink blood, cannot be seen in mirrors, must be staked through the heart and hate garlic – not all of this is true.
They get to an inn and discover the first truth. All the patrons and he landlord (R D Reid) are vamtpires and none cast a reflection – as seen in the cleaver given to cut a block of cheese. The heroes manage to beat a hasty retreat with Passepartout going to the Aurora and Fogg and Verne heading to the castle. Vampires, however, have invaded the Aurora and perhaps Rebecca is a little bit too friendly with the Duke. Has she been turned?
I don’t want to go much further but I will reveal the actual plot devised by Rimini. He wants to take over the world and convert it to vampirism. To this end he has an army of vampires and homing devices planted in all his theatres. He had Pontetract killed for an explosive formula (which is unstable). The rockets will allow them to get across Europe in a night, guided by the homing devices and armed with rockets containing the formula.
As for the vampire lore. Presumably a stake will kill one – we do not see – but they are not actually afraid of garlic, it transpires, nor do they fear the cross. They have fangs and glowing green eyes and can become invisible – something they do when resting through the day. Whether this protects them from sunlight or they are just not killed by it is not explained. One bite turns.
This was passable entertainment but nothing special. I don’t think the steampunk ethos was captured particularly well. As a vampire episode it was again okay – to be honest they needn’t have been vampires, give a man a cloaking device and he would have been much the same (though alive). The plot to take over the world seemed a little too convoluted – I always think that a spreading of vampirism through key persons is more likely. That said Duffy was rather fun in a melodramatic, gothic vampire sort of way.

Nasir мне тоже понравилась эта серия, и этой самой пародийностью - в том числе. А игра Мишеля Куртманша в этой серии, его мимика - совершенно бесподобные!

По-моему, самое лучшее, что есть в этом сериалене не только в данной серии, а и вообще, называется Мишель Куртманш.

Nasir, а мне главгерой вполне, милый мальчик, хотя пресноват. Видала и более впечатляющих. Стимпанк... ну... под настроение хорошо, под настроение плохо впечатлило. Франческа Хант понравилась, второстепенности понравились. А главный герой данной темы местами откровенно деревянно смотрится мной. Но местами съедобен и даже очень приятен. А ещё он пьющий и неидеальный, согласна с Прайдом, мне это тоже понравилось.
