In the M.V. clip where Jim Zubiena draws so quickly and shoots the guy who has a gun pointed at him, Jim was that fast. I knew him then and he was a Master in the old Southwest Pistol League shooting IPSC in Los Angeles. I sure as hell was not as fast as Jim. Aside from acting, Jim also worked at B&B Gun Sales in North Hollywood. His wife was also a shooter.

Michael Mann was a shooter and attended Jeff Cooper's Gunsite School in Arizona. He was at Gunsite before I attended in April of 1981. I thought M.V. was a pretty good show, although I never pitched any stories to Mann. I knew absolutely nothing about Miami.

Johnson is 71 now.
