Yes, Bill 'Action' Shatner did in fact insist on doing his own 'fight scenes'... however he often insisted that said scenes involve him shooting his opponents with an arrow while riding his motorcycle. In the unauthorized biography of Deforest Kelley - "Dem Bones!" - the veteran Star Trek actor fondly recalls riding with Shatner on the back of his hog, while the two hunted unruly extras in the Paramount lot. Shatner was also fond of combining his many manly hobbies in the hopes of creating new sporting events such as "Scuba Karate" and "Ski Fencing". Though these unique hybrid sports failed, as he hoped, to become a national pastime in his beloved Canada, the deadly art of 'Scuba Karate' however, remains one of the most popular competitions during the Special Olympics.
