Monty says, "The last time I used the scissors arc it was you, Kenny, and myself in west Toluca Lake in the back yard of some house and I was in my yellow rain slicker underneath the rain-maker hoping that if anything happened it would be quick. I'm sure it would have been but all was safe...but wet. We have a photo of all of us with that machine someplace. If I ever find the copy of it, I'll pass it along. And -- what you said is so correct, having done it myself."
Monty's right -- I remember that day very well. He looked good up there in a welding helmet, channeling the power of the Gods. All that water was one more reason we went with DC rather than AC.

So interesting, Michael!
Reverse engineering Mother Nature to suit the demands of a production seems to be part of the seductive allure of Hollywood. The power! And up close!
Thankfully you survived and the new LED tech, while tamer, is safer.
But what a ride you must have had!
Yeah, it was fun!
Like how you worked the mythology of Prometheus in there, Mike. Thank goodness you guys didn't get chained to a rock for bringing the lightning.
Amazing. I never saw Lighting Scissors in action, never heard of them until now. Thanks for yet another peek behind the curtain.
They were a bit scary to operate, like most truly fun activities.
