"Winners of the 2002 World Stunt Award for outstanding performances in 14 film categories were announced at the Santa Monica Barker Hangar. The honorees, motion pictures’ most exciting stunt performers, were selected by the World Stunt Academy from films released in 2001 with top honors going to stunt professionals from 'The Fast and the Furious,' ''Rush Hour 2' and 'A Knight’s Tale.'"
"Summer tent pole movies are known for action sequences that defy reality and thrill audiences, and the filmmakers set out to make G.I. JOE: RETALIATION a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Director Jon M. Chu had the benefit of working with a double-punch combination of stunt coordinator Steve Ritzi and fight coordinator Thomas DuPont, who created and choreographed elaborate sequences sure to wow action fans... 'What audiences are going to find is that when they get into the action it will be intense as hell and something they've never seen before.'" -- Cinema Review
