Actress, singer, whatever Holly Valance was Christie in the Dead or Alive movie, DOA: Dead or Alive. The 2006 movie was filmed in Asia, and Vance now calls it āan amazing experience,ā but tough.
How tough? It was the toughest experience of her life says the actress. The shoot was hard, and the kung-fu training was hard. Downtime was spent playing Dead or Alive ā not just for research per se, but out of boredom. Explains Valance:
Oh yes, we played so much. Thatās pretty much what we had to do in our rooms, because there was nothing else to do. That and buy pirated DVDs in the village. Iām so against buying pirated movies and music, because thatās my business, but there was literally nothing else to do. So weād watch these awful DVDs filmed on a camcorder in the cinema.
Why not, you know, read a book? Or have books shipped to you? Hey, itās none of my business ā just wondering! But bonus points for honesty.
Vance appears in the new standalone expansion for Red Alert 3, which you should buy, unless by Vanceās logic, youāre in a remote village with nothing else to do.
