For crew credits we do not list stunt people. Therefore we do no list this credit. Simple as that. Exactly ! Btw, once again the people constantly blabbering about a lack of "common sense" amongst users show that they have absolutely none themselves. I don't give a rat's ass where a stunt coordinator is listed. He does not belong to th cast and thus does not belong in the profile, either. | | | Michael | | | Last edited: by TigiHof |

How many times are we going to re-visit this question?
Since he is mixed in with the rest of the cast credits, the producers wanted him credited as part of the cast. And we are to copy the credits exactly as they appear in the ending credits according to the Rules. Dropping someone out of the credits is not coptying the credits exactly! Well put hal. The rules leave no room for interpretation in this matter IMO. He should be added to the DB.... | | | Berak

| Posted: | | | | Q.1 Crew credited with cast - include or not? A.1 I say yes, include as Crew if credited as either Director, Writer, Producer, Cinematography, Film editor, Music, Sound or Art.
Q.2 A Stunt Coordinator should be listed as crew? A.2 No, DVDP3 lacks a "Stunt Coordinator" entry in the Crew section.
Q.3 A Stunt Coordinator should be listed as cast if listed together with the Cast in film credits? A.3 Depends, in my view. If the Stunt Coordinator also performs as stunt actor, then you could include as Cast, id est "the actors in a play". | | | -- Enry |

This is already addressed in the Rules. Copy the cast list exactly. | | | Hal |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting hal9g: Quote: Copy the cast list exactly. That's one way of looking at it. The other way is: "Copy the cast list exactly." A stunt coordinator isn't part of the "cast", so one could easily argue, based on the same quote from the rules, that he shouldn't be included. It just depends which part you emphasize... I'd say that technically, the rules allow you to go either way. And I certainly know which way I've chosen for my local database. |

No, a cast credit is a credit for a member of the cast and a crew credit is a credit for a crew member regardless in what list they appear.

Not everyone who is listed with the crew is part of our crew list though. To go even further: I've seen many profiles that even credit a group of people that aren't credited as part of the cast list, but appear later on in the end credits - among the crew, so to speak. Usually groups of "additional voices" or "dancers" or something similar. Again, these are not listed with the rest of the cast, but amongst the crew credits. Still, they're often entered, because people perceive them as being part of the cast. If we can recognize cast credits among the crew, then we should also be able to recognize crew credits among the cast. This is a clear crew credit (one that we don't even enter in our crew section), and as such, it does not belong under cast. | | | Last edited: by T!M |

So, why do we consider a Screenwriter to be a "Writer" (to show that the guy wrote the original material, not an adaptation), even if film credits say "Screenplay"? When did we buy the rights to the movie? | | | -- Enry |

| Posted: | | | | BTW, are you guys sure that that particular guy is not actually in the movie playing a role as "Stunt Coordinator" ? ;) Anyway, in a sense you could see this as an error in the end credits. And I guess we're supposed to copy all errors from credits, covers, etc... Edit: in fact, we do not accept errors in credits. That's why we have the Credited As option. | | | Last edited: by hevanw |

| Posted: | | | | Repter: In either case you are correct. The problem that we have is that users do not want to accept what they see on screen and some even think they know more than those that made the film. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!! CBE, MBE, MoA and proud of it. Outta here
