"It's not a significant wound"

Werner Herzog is my hero.

now that is 'taking it like a man'!

"It wasnt a serious bullet." This is now my new mantra.

This is news to me and I live in L.A.

"It's not a significant bullet" is what I heard with just under one minute left. Whatever it is, it takes a hell of a guy to react like he did, I'd probably have crapped myself. He da man!

"it doesn't surprise me to be shot at"...

The man was best friends with Klaus Kinski. Compared to life with Kinski, taking the occasional bullet is nothing. Some of the stories Herzog told about Kinski in his film "My Best Fiend" put the random, anonymous pot-shot in perspective. Kinski'a rage was legendary. One time he locked himself in a bathroom, and managed, bare-handed, to reduce everything in there to rubble. Toilet, sink and bathtub smashed to pieces no larger than gravel.

If this isn't *comedy for being hardcore awesome, it is for just making me laugh.

Cool video, but it just adds to the steroetype that Los Angeles is filled with gun-wielding maniacs that randomly shoot people.

I live in LA, and I've never been shot at.

*promote for awesome badassery

Reminds me of Teddy Roosevelt's reaction to an attempt on his life (Wikipedia):
"While campaigning in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on October 14, 1912, a saloonkeeper named John Schrank failed in an assassination attempt on Roosevelt. Schrank did shoot the former President, but the bullet lodged in Roosevelt's chest only after hitting both his steel eyeglass case and a copy of his speech he was carrying in his jacket. Roosevelt declined suggestions that he go to the hospital, and delivered his scheduled speech. He spoke vigorously for ninety minutes. His opening comments to the gathered crowd were, "I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot; but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." Afterwards, doctors determined that he was not seriously wounded and that it would be more dangerous to attempt to remove the bullet than to leave it in his chest. Roosevelt carried it with him until he died."

I live in LA as well and though some parts I would not find this suprising what is suprising is his "its only a flesh wound" type of attitude towards the whole thing. Also how does an air rifle make a wound like that unless they were within 20 yards of him? Must of been close
